Enough is enough Congress, give me back my freedoms!

During this election process, I have realized the many flaws in our system. The biggest of which being the loss of freedoms. America is based on three things, guaranteeing us life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Therefore, I have compiled a list of freedoms that I should have. I have split them into two categories… Category 1: Freedoms we need NOW. Seat Belt laws. Enough said. Guatanamo Bay: NO MORE taking "suspected terrorists" without a trial. It's B.S. that you can take away YEARS of someone's life without a trial. Many people have been released after years of capture with no more than a "sorry, we thought you were a terrorist." GIVE THEM A TRIAL LIKE WE PROMISED. Privacy: STOP LISTENING TO OUR PHONE CONVERSATIONS. Even if they have nothing to hide and even if they are calls to foreign conversations, we have the right to privacy. Gambling: The Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 put the nail in the coffin. In 13 states, gambling is illegal online. What does this mean? Well first of all, in the transition over to this new idea, my internet gaming site FROZE my money in their system… I can't even log on right now to get my money out. Furthermore, it has scared several of the secure systems from accepting money from anyone in those states. Why is it that I can't gamble online? Does it affect you if I gamble online? NO! If you think it's stupid, then LET ME be stupid. If it's my ‘pursuit of happiness' then let me have it. Tattoos: Minors can't get tattoos. This is B.S. School: I can't leave school if I wanted. I HAVE TO GO. It sounds like prison to me. You have to go and if you leave it's illegal. Not to mention that if you don't do well then your teachers get canned. Therefore eliminating your teacher's freedom. (so far president bush has an act for taking my freedom. Since most of these thus far are because of him) Drinking: WTF? Country after Country in Europe allow people to drink at 18. In Switzerland, anyone can drink but you have to be 14 to buy it. They have few to no problems with it and we would have fewer if we let them drink. What do you think is more dangerous? A) Drinking in a bar that is being watched or B) Drinking in some field with NO protection and NO ONE to call (since it's "illegal"). I can die for my country but I can't drink. My mother had a stressful day and she had one drink to calm her stress. I'm in high school. The most stressful time in people's lives and what do we have to calm ourselves? I guess we could cut ourselves because that's legal. The Requirement to get licenses for EVERYTHING. There are certain things that you should need a license for (like driving). But the increased difficulty of getting gambling licenses and other business licenses has overstepped their grounds. I should be able to sell something without having to spend a bunch of money to get a piece of paper to say that I can sell it. The Draft… enough said. Category 2: Freedoms that can be adopted with time and care. The only one I have to say here is drugs. Certain drugs (like meth) are more like suicide than anything so legalizing this would be generally bad. However, lighter drugs (such as Marijuana) are harmless. If you limit the amount that people can have on them at one time, you will be fine AND you will get massive amounts of tax revenue AND you can give more people their life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These are only some of the freedoms that I know we should have. However, there could very likely be even more. If you know of some more, please put them in the comment section. Not to be used in this debate, but to educate the people around you of what we deserve as American citizens. There aren't enough swear words in the dictionary to explain my anger towards the government and their lies. It's about time we stop asking for our rights back and demanding them. America is not free…yet. Join the Campaign to make it free.
