So here is the idea- let's design a "Freedom Quiz" slim jim that could include around 10 true/false questions on one side with the answers and some explanation on the other.
The first step is to come up with some good questions- here are a few to get things rolling- they can be wordsmithed later:
----------------
Question: The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that it is OK to have your home taken away from you if someone else will pay more taxes on the land.
Answer: True, ruled in Kelo v. City of New London, 2005.
----------------
Question: "A military draft may be necessary to maintain our freedom.
Answer: False.
----------------
Question : Government can hold you without trial or charges and ship you out of the country?
Answer: True, under various provisions of federal law, the government can detain you without trial or charges, without contact with family, friends or legal counsel.
(From member Anti Federalist)
----------------
Ultimately we'll want to include rulings and laws in all the answers. Once we get the best questions we'll wordsmith the text and then need to get some basic patriotic graphics and put it all together.
These could be great to pass out on the fourth! :) Let's come up with some questions!!
