You are independent, right?

• You read multiple news sources from around the world, different nations, different viewpoints
• You read multiple different viewpoints in commentary, even writers whose politics and perspectives you disagree with
• You listen and watch trending topics in social media broadly as well as have a selected set of trusted friends
• You use sites like Open Secrets and Bloomberg to follow the money whenever something in the news doesn’t make sense
• You read a wide variety of blogs on different subject matters across the spectrum
• You subscribe to as many free trade publications and magazines as practical to see what hot issues are in different industries
• You do your part to act when you see obvious threats to everyone’s independence and liberty taking place

Independence is as much a state of mind as it is a political state. Celebrate your independence today, and commit to reinforcing and defending it by doing one or more of the above if you don’t already.

Want to really make a change?

Every time you go to the store, check to see where a product is made. If you have a choice between goods made in China and any other nation (and you may not), buy the product made somewhere else as often as you can.

Commit today to buy 25% fewer goods made in China, and 25% more goods made in the USA or other countries that support the human rights initiatives you value.

Economic power made the giant, and economic power can change its course on human rights – but only if you have the will as a consumer to vote with your wallet, no matter how great the sale is.
