What Would You Risk for "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"?
The civilians of Egypt, Tunisia and now Libya have risked literally everything for an opportunity to obtain liberty rights similar to those that we are born with as Americans. Watching this incredible sacrifice has reminded me of the value of these amazing rights. We may not agree with everything our government does but we have the right to voice our disagreements and make changes. If the threat of losing our liberty rights was real, what would you risk to regain them? Your house? Food and water? Your life? Your child's life? Do you value the right to vote? Are you teaching your children the value of the right to vote?

It is very hard to imagine having our liberty rights threatened in a real way here in America and harder still to know how I would personally react to regain them. Watching parts of the world in extreme turmoil, I do know I value the freedom we enjoy as Americans and do take seriously the right and responsibility to vote wisely.
