Declaration of a Free Man I am an American Citizen-a member of the greatest fraternity on earth-the Brotherhood of Freemen. * This worldwide Brotherhood is open to any man, anywhere on earth, who is deeply determined to be fTee and willing to pay the personal price. * Men are paying the price and are joining this Brotherhood every day even in the uttermost parts of earth. * Because our forefathers pio­ neered the continental vastness that is America and won; because the men of industry teamed up in research and development to produce the necessities and the finer things of life in a superior way; and because a million Americans have died and millions have suffered in the wars of this Republic, I have Freedom of Mind, Freedom of Body and Freedom of Spirit. * I have Freedom to Work, to Love, to Learn, and to Play; mine is the Freedom to Compete, to Invent, to Save, to Invest, to Create, to Promote, to Progress, to Own, and to Give; I have Free­ dom to Choose, to Join, to Vote, to Speak, and to Walk Erect with head high; I am Free to be my own self, a.� an individual human soul; I am Free to Worship my God. * Men everywhere are forced today to choose between this God-given idea of the Freedom of Man and the God-less enslaving doctrines that put the state above the individual man. * As for me, I choose to cherish jealously each one of these Freedoms. * Life would be as dust in a windy street if through indifference I were to lose them. * I know what my father and his father before him have done that I might inherit these priceless blessings. * Hence, I am ready, willing and eager to make my own contribution towards their pres­ ervation. * I will do everything within my power each day to Strengthen and Defend these Freedoms wherever I am, whatever I do-that I may pass them on to my sons and daughters undiminished. * I am Responsible. * I am a Free Man.

Usually the criticism is justified, for the success of any organi­ zation is dependent on its leaders. One might ask why some chapters have constructive and dynamic leader­ ship year after year and others lack it?
