FREEDOM = "LIVING TO THE FULLEST "
- Noel | Artist
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free;
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless,
Tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning,
And her name, Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome;
Her mild eyes command the air-bridged harbor
That twin cities frame.
"Keep, Ancient Lands, your storied pomp!"
Cries she with silent lips.
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free;
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless,
Tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

What does FREEDOM mean to you?
by Herb Sosa
Freedom mean a lot of different things to each of us. Some define it by politics,
others by personal liberties & rights. Still others use it as a tool of control,
manipulation and oppression. As we celebrate the 234th birthday of the United
States of America, many of you shared YOUR ideas on Freedom -
However you choose to celebrate FREEDOM
this July 4th, do it with equality and justice
for ALL... For me, FREEDOM is the right to live,
love & defend that which I believe to be true,
without ever depriving others of their right to
the same.

What does Freedom mean to me? Freedom to me means "democracy"
in a classical Greek sense, to live life without fear and free of
hate-mongers. - Eddie I. Sierra | Community Activist &
Unity Coalition|Coalición Unida board member
Freedom to me means to have the privilege of exercising the
right to be free to act, move, think and live in the manner I
choose, while respecting the rights of others to do the same
without FEAR of harm; whether it be physical, moral or material.
