Freedoms important to us. The League is about advancing those freedoms. Given the importance of freedoms, how does one advance freedom? The first way to advance freedom is to exercise it. If you have a freedom, use it. Exercise your freedom of speech, you freedom of assembly, the right to bear arms, etc. When freedoms are not exercised, we become fearful about exercising them. We begin giving up our freedoms by intimidation. We start allowing fear to limit our exercise of freedoms rather than law.

There are few places where this is so apparent as with the first amendment. Freedom of speech, religion, and the press have been hamstrung through taxes and policies that make it inconvenient to exercise your freedoms. Doesn’t it strike you odd that although we have the right to freedom of assembly and association, if you find yourself choosing to exercise those freedoms when it comes to doing business or hiring people, you are often hit with a law suit.  Likewise, we have freedom of speech on paper, but speaking out on some topics, or some words will land you in trouble. With the current paranoid mindset, if you speak out on selected topics, you may be labeled a ‘trouble-maker’.

Although government officially allows freedom of religion and non-preference of religion, in practice the government goes out of its way to protect certain religions.

For the purpose of this post, the focus is to present the need to exercise you rights. Be willing to test limits. It is important psychologically to get out of the position of cowering before the Empire. The power of the Empire is based in fear. When you exercise freedom without living in fear, they begin loosing control over you physically and psychologically. When a person is defeated psychologically, mastering them physically is easy. To prevent the continuation of the reconstruction mindset, you need to practice exercising your freedoms. As you get into the habit, it becomes second nature.

A free Texas begins with free Texas minds.
