April 13th is Founding Father Thomas Jefferson’s 268th birthday. He wrote the Declaration of Independence and thus became our first official spokesman for freedom from Great Britain in 1776.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

He was our third President, serving two terms from 1801-1809. During that time he was best known for employing the US Marines against the Tripoli pirates who had been thieving off American merchant ships, for approving the Louisiana territory purchase from France in 1803, thereby doubling the size of the United States, and then sending Lewis and Clark to explore what we had bought.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But primarily we revere Jefferson for his articulation in the Declaration of Independence of the basis of American freedom. So we thought this would be an excellent time to celebrate freedom at this party! Here are a few suggestions which might muse youse to write:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

-What makes\/made you feel most free and what does that feel like?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

-What do you get for free in your life that you value highly?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

-What are the advantages and disadvantages of having freedom?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Let’s exercise our freedom of speech and create whatever we think is important and worthwhile!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Please save some free time to read and comment freely on your fellow Pals’ stuff. Then exercise your freedom to celebrate Jefferson’s birthday in your own way!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
