"Give me liberty, or give me death!"

By DIA

Those were the famous words of politician and orator Patrick Henry, whose rousing speech convinced other colonists to send troops for the Revolutionary War in the Americas.

"If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

With every passing year, our freedoms are increasing challenged and blatantly taken away. Speech is no longer free unless it's the speech someone wants to hear. You no longer have the right to choose what you can do with your own body. Our taxes are taking more and more of your hard-earned money. Liberty is slipping away.

But it doesn't have to! Stand up for yourself without shame. Take charge of your life and don't back down from defending your personal rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!
