In some countries, the government or others make decisions for citizens. 

In the United States we have many freedoms.  Among the most important freedoms we hold are the freedoms to think, to speak, and to make decisions for ourselves.  With every freedom comes responsibility and accountability. 

As easy as it is to blame someone else when a negative consequence arises, the only person that we can blame is the one who looks at us when we look in the mirror.

On this Fourth of July, let’s enjoy the incredible freedom and the awesome responsibility that comes from living in a country where every person can make a difference.

Have a great day!
