Re: The American Dream The dream is as important for the soul, the very spirit of humanity, as the air and food is to our body. So many countries and governments prevent their populace from dreaming by dictating the populace's station in society. The government of the United States was purposely designed to instill and nourish the dream in the individual because the founding fathers knew that the unbridled dreams of the people would not lead to chaos but to greatness, to the beacon of hope that they had the vision to see before it was ever lit. This beacon has blazed for the world to see, and not unlike moths to the flame this beacon has drawn people to it. This draw was undeniable for some, a last hope for some, a new beginning for others, and an escape from tyranny for others. The United States has welcomed and nourished the dreams of millions because of the freedom she offers. The freedom for people to try anything, to risk everything, for a simple dream. WE have responsibility to maintain, preserve, and defend these freedoms. We are not fighting a country out to rule over us, no we are not raising arms against a foreign threat. We must now fight within our own borders, and raise our voices against our own government. I raise my voice today for my dream, for my beloved United States.

Re: The American Dream Please note:I made a typo in the first paragraph."Those in charge do believe that we are capable of making our own decisions"It should read"Those in charge do NOT believe that we are capable of making our own decisions"
