I love this country. I love being an American. But having grown up here, we've seen our freedoms

being increasingly taken away. We've seen the increase of censorship we saw during COVID,

lockdowns, forced vaccinations, things taking place that are contradictory to what we believe as a

repercussions for it, professional repercussions for it. What did that mean to you to receive the
