Free State Revolution is not an “extremist” group, although according to recent Homeland Security definitions, anyone who believes in the U.S. Constitution and disagrees with the status quo, and has a Gadsden Flag sticker on their car fits the title. We are defenders of the Constitution, lovers of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We yearn for peace, justice, and believe what Martin Luther King, Jr. believed when he said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Based out of Maryland, a.k.a. “The Free State”, I hope to join with the rest of the blog  world to help hold our government accountable, to shine the light on news stories that are being pushed into the dark, educating myself and other people about what makes the United States such a unique place to live- and why we need to never forget those who fought and died for our freedom.

“Free State” also harkens back to the states who were not “slave states” before the Civil War. We support freedom. Unfortunately slavery of a different sort is alive and well, and gaining momentum in America. Many who claim to “work for us” in our government are currently seeking to empower the government.

Government programs can seem enticing to people, particularly when they are not educated, jobless, or desperate. Welfare, for example, when used to prop someone up until they get back on their own feet can be used for a good thing. But an entire generation and/or social group existing on welfare is just another form of slavery.

But welfare is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a much bigger picture here, and hopefully this blog will shine the light on what many are trying to brush under the proverbial “government couch”.

Remember this, people in countries like Cuba and/or China do not have the freedom to freely express themselves like we can in America. This blog wouldn’t last a day in many countries before being shut down. By some of the talk in Washington, America isn’t far behind. But for today, anyone with access to a computer connected to the internet can have a forum to speak their minds. Never forget this, nor take it for granted. God bless!
