Freedom is not free.

We don’t have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven’t taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.

We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.

Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.

Make a commitment to your self that today, success is your only options! No matter the obstacles, no matter the sacrifice! you have decided you won’t be denied, you won’t be defeated!

When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you’re pledging your integrity.
