Although I like to give credit to my mother, we all have the desire to be free inside of us, it just needs to be tapped into (especially with Ryan and my generation, and those after us).

We have lived too many generations in comfort, wealth, and freedom without acknowleging how we came to be where we are as a nation. Freedom is what made us the greatest nation on earth, but it’s also what prompts us to be arrogant enough to think that we’ll continue to be free, cofortable, and wealthy, regardless of what temporary comfort we are promised by our government.

I love and cherish my freedom, Wese, and I will not sit by while arrogant politicians and city councilpeople attempt to take it away for their own glory and re-election prospects.

Rest assured that Ryan and I are in this for the long haul. Although it’s been tough holding down full-time jobs, raising a family, keeping our houses in order, and leading this effort, we understand that our efforts are necessary if we wish to continue life as we know it in a free society.

We won’t give up, dear Wese!

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!

Joey
