Time for another Comment Contest, This time I will be awarding the winner with a hand painted and carved triptic art piece, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
The rules are a little bit different this time, so read them carefully, and good luck.

- If their is a tie vote, I will put the names in a hat, to decide the winner.
- I reserve the right to use your comment, on this site, and in promoting this site, www.politicalwith.com
- I am an artist, not an attorney, so if you don’t like my rules, or they don’t seem fair, oh well, the winner is at my sole discretion.
Do to the hand crafted nature of my art work, the art piece awarded will vary in color, and texture than the one shown. For those who a curious about the details of this piece, I hand paint and texture the fine grain composite wood (MDF) panels, then carve the lettering and shapes out with a CNC that I custom built. I then antique and clear coat the pieces and put hanger cutouts on the backs. Each of the 3 triptic panels are 30″ wide, and the arrangement is about 19″ tall if hung as shown.
Good luck, and above all, have fun.

Great contest Shane!
Freedom means:
EVERYONE can be the person they want to be and make their life exactly the way they want it.
Freedom means:
When we loose the right to choose, we loose our right to be free.
Freedom means:
The privilege for me and my family to believe, to speak our minds, to choose, and to live without fear.
The ability to do, say, and inquire as I please as long as I do no physical harm.
Freedom is the self-governing state by which a human being can live, speak, think, commerce, travel and worship.
Freedom to me is “EVERYONE” having the right to live their lives meaningful without unreasonable restriction, or persecution, or harm to others. To acknowledge and serve Heavenly Father if they so choose. The right to decide what is personally best in raising their own families, and pursue their own interests, and place to live. Where the people run their own local governments and schools without federal intervention. And of course, as a democracy where everyone is given a voice and a vote, and leaders at every level are beholden and answer to the people.
Absolutely everything – I would rather fail in trying to succeed than not having the freedom to choose my own path.
Correction – “not having” should be “not have”
Freedom means to me:
“The opportunity to think and express ones self by word or action…empowering the soul, and inspiring others to greatness.”
Giving by God as a gif for live, it’s the soul, mind and spirit of the human,the soul for corauge, the mind for knowledge and the spirit to never be fear, so one can fight for the rights to exist. Freedom move people to acomplish great things in life for everyone.Persue of Happiness the greaters.
