We Have the Right To

I have the right to express whatever is in my head, for example the way I am doing right now. As a citizen of the United States of America this is one of my rights. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Now the question is are we truly free or just given the sense that we are free? With technology in today’s world our word is easily accessible to anyone anywhere that has an internet connection. When watching documentaries sometimes it could make me feel that I have no rights or they are taken away by those who have authority. In Capitalism we see how the banks go in and take the houses of the hard working Americans that have lost their job because of the greed by CEOs of the companies.

In Food Inc. it was scary to see that only a handful of companies control the food production in the United States. When the seed companies believe that someone is stealing from them they send investigator to make sure that they are not reusing seeds. They have access to all the farmers’ records and purchases. Also they have money to spend on expensive lawyers and to go to court, not to mention to pay off the judge.

As individual people are voice and power may seem small compared to that of a large corporation but when put together with other peoples are voice becomes thunderous. So we have the right to lots of things as Citizens of the USA but if it seems that we lose any of them the best way to get them back is fighting together to get them back.
