Independence Day
Its not the most visited monument in Washington, but it is easily one of the most impressive.
Built of marble and granite, and reflecting the architecture of his home in Monticello, the memorial to the author of the Declaration of Independence and our third President lies due south of the White House, across the tidal basin from the National Mall.
As you climb the granite steps and pass underneath the marble dome, the statue of Thomas Jefferson stands tall before you. Surrounding the base of the dome, in deeply inscribed roman lettering, is the following declaration:
I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL HOSTILITY AGAINST EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN
This is a mission statement for all Americans, and every person in the world who loves Liberty.
This is why I serve.

Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasnt there?
Where would you get your up to the minute news? How about the live threads as things are happening?

Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.
How would you keep on top of things without FR?
How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?
How would you be part of a Freep?
