latest cellular technology so that she can talk to her friends. The daughters thank dad for buying them a new toy, while they are joined by the wife in disregarding and ridiculing him for wanting to spend time with them. Dad is so uncool but he buys us nice stuff! Several years ago, during the Super Bowl, a commercial advocated stealing Pepsi in order to get “in” with the kids’ crowd. These are only a few examples of the messages being promoted through advertising. This is how immorality and unprincipled behavior are being marketed to the American people. Frankly, I think you would be hard-pressed to find a commercial advertisement that sends an honest, constructive message instead of a dishonest, destructive one. If you really want to be successful in freedom, then you must restructure your priorities to place freedom first. Otherwise, you will most certainly fail. I believe there is nothing more important than each of us living free from government regulation and control. Therefore, I am willing to die for my freedom. I am also willing to kill for my freedom, if that ever becomes necessary, though only as a very last resort. I am willing to starve, lose my job, relocate my family, in other words, do whatever I need to do to preserve my rights to life, liberty and property. Could you say the same? SETTING YOUR PRIORITIES How high a priority is your freedom? Wanting to be free is not enough. You must commit to living free. If you really want to live free, then you have got to establish the degree of your commitment to your freedom. You see, if your number one priority is to live free from government regulation, then you will do whatever you need to in order to accomplish that objective. However, if your priorities are such that money or convenience hold greater importance to you than freeing yourself from government control, then you will hesitate to take the necessary steps to ensure your liberty if you believe that by doing so you will sacrifice ways to make money, or make your life less convenient in any way. Brent Johnson is Director of Freedom Bound International, a common law service center dedicated to the preservation of personal freedom, privacy rights and the Declaration of Independence.

I am thoroughly committed to Truth and Freedom. That means I am willing to endure any experience in pursuit and defense of Truth and Freedom, and that makes me far stronger than the mindless bureaucrats who would subvert your liberty or mine, all the while saying they are “just following orders”.
