How do you feel about this sentiment? What does it mean to you, personally?Originally Posted by Sen. Carl Schurz, 1872
As a proud American, I believe in this quote to the fullest. What makes America great is the freedom we have to speak out and "right the ship" when it steers off course. If not for freedom to speak out against government failings, to freely associate ourselves into political parties in an effort to affect change, to print articles exposing corruption amongst the elected officials we hold to a higher standard, we would be no different than any other country on this earth.
