FreeKeene.com | On August 20th, 2011 at 12:31pm on the Capitol lawn in Washington DC, Kathryn Dill, William Duffield, and I were arrested for selling 10cent cups of lemonade. The events leading up to our arrest, along with our capture and kidnapping were beautifully documented by several activists who came armed with cameras (see high quality video below); therefore, I feel no need to cover those details. However, once we were taken away, there were no more cameras to share our experience.

RepFreedomForce | Paul Ryan says "Individual Liberty requires limited-government". Yet the Federal Government under direction of both Democrats and Republicans has systematically eroded individual liberty since its inception.

Human and political freedom has never existed and cannot exist without a large measure of economic freedom. Those of us who have been so fortunate as to of been born in a free society, tend to take freedom for granted. To regard it as a natural state of mankind, it is not. It is a rare and precious thing. Most people throughout history, most people today, have lived in conditions of tyranny and misery, not of freedom and prosperity. The clearest demonstration of how much people value freedom, is the way they vote with their feet, when they have no other way to vote. - Milton Friedman
