Freedom Survey - Are you freer today?
Written by Melinda Pillsbury-foster Subject: Philosophy: FascismIn the nearly 40 years of fervent activism invested in the Libertarian or Republican Parties and/or 'Freedom Movement.' How much freedom have 'we' gotten for our money and time? This is not an idle question but one which should have been asked long ago. If goals are to be achieved there must be a way to assess progress, interim goals which lead to that long desired final goal. Let us be intelligent consumers of services for which we invest and work.
What did we get for the time and money invested? Where is the freedom?
When we started, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 years ago, the goal was freedom. We generally agreed this meant the affirmation of our inherent rights and government which feared the people. Our primary tool was to be the free market. We envisioned a government which would do only what we deemed right and proper, leaving us otherwise strictly alone.
So this is the satisfaction survey no one has previously made available. The Survey will come in four parts, going to all major issues within the movement, over the next month with a fifth section, allowing you to nominate specific individuals and organizations in Best and Worst for Freedom categories. The results will be posted after all parts of the survey have been completed.
