The Creed of Freedom. In any election cycle, be it local, state or national, Americans have come to find many a declarations from both pundits and politicians often times in reference to the "defining issue" of our time. From taxes and terrorism to war or energy; from education and crime to unemployment or home foreclosures, any number of these may, in any given election year, undoubtedly come front and center as political leadership from both parties jockey for the mantel and the coveted trophy upon it. Without question these, and a great many others unmentioned, affect every individual American daily. However, despite the significance of all of these issues that might define this generation or those of generations past, there is but one which shall forever trump them all. It is the preservation and protection by government to the Freedom and Liberty for the greatest minority of all, the individual.
