Safe? Not at the price of abandoning our principles. Our Republic was founded on civil liberties. NO MORE DISCRIMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. We all need to be vigilent now more than ever, protect our freedoms from within, don't give in or look away when the ultra right are doing their best to throw away our freedom. I feel this is essential for preserving the ideals on which this nation was founded Since I have wanted to negotiate for peace in non-violent and transparent ways. But to continuously use the memory of that disaster as an excuse to hide behind hate and anger is simply inhuman. Rightly so, we reacted and overreacted to that feeling of discomfort. September 11th exposed an uncomfortable vulnerability in the united states. I will not live in fear.ĭuring this day we should remember those brave people who sacrficed their lives to save so many others. I have watched our country take away the freedom that our soldiers, including myself have fought for slip away.

I believe America can be both safe and free. i feel that MY america is already dead, as thankfully, i probably will be soon, as well There are already TOO MANY home-grown american terrorists (h a t s) subverting, ignoring, defying and destroying our constitution.

I consider the ACLU the most important organization in the United States of American in defending the freedoms that we all enjoy. Why should we ask our children to fight for Freedom for other nations, while losing our Freedoms here at home. Keeping the ACLU strong is a big pe\art of that. We must continue to defend the right of Freedom of Religion, as well as racial and gender justice. True liberty follows from the maintenance of our principals when they are challenged.

If we don't safeguard our freedoms, then Osama bin Laden has won the war. Racial/Religious profiling is still a violation of our basic rights. Equality and freedom for all, meaning no one is treated like a second-class citizen. This is supposed to be the land of the free. Without our rights and responsibilities from the constitution, Bill of Rights and declaration of independence, we would be proof that we were no longer citizens of the united states, and without a citizen, the country and it's idealism would die. Our current state of politics needs to adhere to the Constitution, for this country was founded on it! I strongly support those who adhere to the Constitution and oppose those who violate it.
