I chose the word liberty because I think that it should be the basis for all governmental actions, meaning that liberty should always be at the forefront of any law or rule that the government imposes. I believe that in today's environment liberty is taking a back seat and that we are suffering from an ever-increasing body that threatens our liberties. I believe that a large part of society is ignoring the basic idea that this country is founded upon.
