a moment to reflect on our past.
Lately I find myself pondering on
our core American values; what our
founders meant by them, and what
they mean today: liberty, equality
and self-government. It is important
to know how the candidates translate
these core values.
Liberty is mentioned in the Declara-
tion of Independence, the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights. It is what pro-
tects our citizens from unreasonable
governmental intrusion and guaran-
tees certain rights such as freedom
of expression, freedom to worship
as we choose, and freedom from
unreasonable search and seizure.
Our liberty is specifically protected as
long as it does not infringe on anoth-
er’s protected rights.
