    “MANIFESTO FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM”

BY JEAN BRASEL,

President, Freedom of Religion For Everyone Everywhere (F.R.E.E.)

http://www.communicate-now.com/free

In these times of worldwide violence and intolerance, it is time that we the decent loving tolerant people of the world all take a stand for Peace and Unity and Religious Tolerance.

At the bottom of all conflicts, there is always some underlying force which fosters hatred and enmity – such people doing this for their own power needs and gains.

Those of us who are fed up with this kind of behavior need to let our voices be heard throughout the planet,to raise up in one strong voice to let ourselves blast out the hatred! We the decent peoples of earth do resolve to let it be known that we will no longer tolerate nor accept war and violence and intolerance!

To accomplish this, all religions in the world need to unite in a common bond – unified in our belief in tolerance for all. That it is no longer all right for one group to attack another “in the name of religion.” That it is no longer okay to kill innocent people, or invalidate or maim others for one’s own gains.Whether it is country against country, province against province, persons against persons, men against women, this will no longer be tolerated.

That we resolve to take a stand as the Year 2000 approaches to Proclaim the Year 2000 as the Year of Religious Freedom-Freedom for all to practice their religion and hold their beliefs in the manner that they wish to,without interference from dictators or evil minded people – to Worship Freely, and practice their religion as they see fit-without harming others. That individuals have the right to be in the religion of their choosing, and as well, resolve to respect the religious beliefs of others.

That we pledge to uphold the words of Isaiah the prophet:

“They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”

And to heed the words of humanitarian L.Ron Hubbard:

“On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on earth.”

And we can therefore help make this a better freer world – free of intolerance and war and strife, and as such deliver the world out of the arms of the hate mongers, and up into peace and tolerance.

Yours in Peace and Harmony,

Jean Brasel FL STATE CERTIFIED MEDIATOR

Can someone please help me with my essay on conservatism vs liberalism?

So after I wrote my intro and a little history on the the two ideologies, I need to write a paragraph about how liberalism and conservatism connect to the Republican and Democratic parties. I also have to write about the definitions of the two ideologies, and their beliefs on issues such as abortion etc….now for my question, can anyone please help me how I should arrange this? I wrote it out, but the paragraphs would be too long if I put it together and its confusing for me to organize it.

My second question, how exactly does liberalism and conservatism connect to the Republican and Democratic parties? help please!!! I would really appreciate it…here are my paragraphs in the essay so far:

Liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity, relative to any constraints imposed by the states. Different forms of liberalism may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a liberal democracy, where all citizens have equal rights by law. There are two major streams of thought which compete over the use of the term liberal, which are classical liberalism and social liberalism. Classical liberals place the highest value on individual freedom and believe the role of government should be limited. They see state intervention in the economy as a restriction on the economic freedom of individuals. Social liberals want the government to play an active role in promoting the freedom of citizens. They favor the right to healthcare, an education and a minimum wage. Some also favor laws against pollution, provision of welfare, and discrimination in housing and employment. The Democratic Party is home to an ideologically diverse base, with liberals forming the largest and most influential demographic within the party. Conservatism is a belief in the virtue of preserving traditional values, where tradition refers to various religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs. The Republican Party supports a conservative ideology with further establishment in social conservatism and supply-side fiscal policies, which argues that economic growth, can be most effectively created by adjusting the income tax and capital gains tax rates.

Democrats and Republicans have opposing opinions on many different issues such as abortion, taxes, affirmative action, and the environment. When dealing with the issue of abortion, Democrats believe it is the advocate’s choice. Republicans support a human life amendment to the constitution that would outlaw abortion, without exceptions. (THEN WRITE ABOUT MORE ISSUES)

someone please help!! THANKS!
