Dear Friends of Liberty

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. One thing among many we can be thankful for is the freedoms which we all fight for on a daily basis. Even though many of them are and have been threatened for a long time, we can remain optimistic that we will prevail in our efforts to promote and protect them. We all need to remember that our rights are not given to us by this or any government but are inherent in us as human beings and the purpose of our government as explained in the Declaration of Independence is to secure our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

In Liberty,

Michael D. Ostrolenk
