The Mayor of Berwyn Heights in Maryland’s Prince George’s County had a rude awakening. Apparently, a 32 lb. bag of marijuana was sent to his house addressed to his wife. A SWAT team busted down his door, shot and killed his two black labs, and held him for questioning for hours. The Mayor claims he has no idea where the pot came from. He also said that if the police would have just knocked, he’d have let them in.

Instead his two dogs are now dead and all members of his household are “persons of suspicion”.

Recently Virginia Senator John Warner proposed bringing back the federally mandated 55 MPH speed limit. His argument is that it will reduce carbon emissions and save many thousands of barrels of oil per day. Just about every one-size-fits-all federal government mandate comes with unintended consequences. Is bringing back the 55 MPH speed limit any different? Can other government imposed "green" transportation regulations help us "save the planet"?

There's a sharp divide amongst liberty loving voters about whether to support a candidate like Bob Barr for President. I support him almost whole-heartedly. My only caveat is that my support will disappear if he starts sounding like the "compassionate conservative" he was over 5 years ago.

Defining freedom is simple to do with words, but words forever fall short. Freedom is living your life the way you wish to live it. They are simple words but they do not illustrate the varying degrees involved. They do not account for culture and perception. Freedom to a Cuban is likely different from freedom to an American. H.L. Mencken once stated, "The average man doesn't want to be free, he wants to be safe." Judging from the 2008 primary election results, Mencken looks like a genius.

The launch of the Freeople website ushers in a new era of political activism. The site provides easy-to-use tools to help the American people, and those around the world, to promote the cause of freedom.
