Restoring liberty one bill at a time! You'd think freedom of association (or not to associate) would cover this but this bill needs to be passed into law. Now if we could just apply this to not being coerced to pay for things we concientiously object to we would be on our way to having a just government with the consent of the governed instead of special interests using the guns of government to force their will onto the rest of us.
