America is at its best when it is a land of equal opportunity for all. The United States of America should be a level playing field for everyone to achieve to the best of his or her talent, hard work, and creativity, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or gender -- a meritocracy.

America must be the world capital of innovation: the best place to live, learn, invest, work, and raise a family. We thrive and progress with a free marketplace of ideas and goods where the people decide who has the best service or products -- rather than redistribution and fearful protectionism or bailouts for irresponsible enterprises.

The American Dream should promote the ability of people to compete and succeed. Americans need freedom, not dependency. We want responsible, disciplined, honest, and smarter government rather than new ways to spend our money. Rather than job-killing cap-and-trade energy taxes, we want affordable, American energy. Rather than government-controlled and rationed health care, we want our health decisions to remain between us and our doctors.

In this summer of rightful discontent, the American people -- worried about jobs and the economy, the price of electricity and gasoline, rocketing wasteful spending, mountains of debt, and their health care -- are rising up at town hall meetings and tea parties against their elected officials who are seemingly clueless about real concerns and solutions to challenges facing families and businesses. Members of Congress and others are stunned by this restless uprising and many officeholders have avoided open town hall meetings because of the riled people of all ages.

Informed Americans are sick and tired of continuing to be controlled by sanctimonious social engineers who restrict our access to affordable, reliable American energy and make us vulnerable to hostile dictators, oligarchs, and cartels.

Not to be trod upon or limited by their government, Americans have risen in support of the foundational ideals and principles of our free and sovereign country. Indeed, this has been a healthy summer for people standing strong for Freedom.

... something like impurifying our precious bodily fluids?
