In the United States, you are free to speak as you please, do what you please, and be whatever you want to be. If you dream to be an astronaut, with hard work and determination, you can accomplish this goal. You are able to do these things because of the "Brave," the soldiers overseas, protecting our homeland, allowing us to live peacefully and enjoy our rights.]]> 2018-01-23 16:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lowell_shotton/cucvo9gsjsme/wish/223860764 lowell_shotton https://padlet.com/lowell_shotton/cucvo9gsjsme/wish/223864074 I love being able to own a gun, the ability to have a gun allows me to protect my family and protect the people of the United States.]]> 2018-01-23 16:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lowell_shotton/cucvo9gsjsme/wish/223864074 lowell_shotton https://padlet.com/lowell_shotton/cucvo9gsjsme/wish/223865505 I wish that there was a flat rate tax, so that if you work harder, then you have more money.

Freedom is one of the most important rights that Americans have. They are protected by the constitution to speak, protest, exercise religion, and peacefully assemble. The right of freedom is what makes the U.S. different from many other countries around the world, in some countries there are very strict punishments, even sometimes the death penalty, for speaking out against their government. ]]> 2018-01-24 15:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lowell_shotton/cucvo9gsjsme/wish/224275686 lowell_shotton https://padlet.com/lowell_shotton/cucvo9gsjsme/wish/224282184  I love to be able go to Church and worship as I please.
