In your opinion why do you think the American people polled believe they are loosing their liberty?



(AMERICA'S BELIEVE OUR LIBERTY IS UNDER ATTACK)

A new poll reveals that between June and this month the number of Americans who believe President Obama brought with him into office a large increase in personal freedom has plummeted by nearly 9 percentage points, while the number of those who perceive a big decrease in personal freedom continues to rise.

The result is that the WND Freedom Index, derived from the poll results, has fallen from June's 57.6 to 53.2 in July on a 100-point scale. The index is a monthly measure of how Americans feel about what might be happening to a basketful of liberties.

According to pollster Fritz Wenzel of Wenzel Strategies, the drop comes mostly because people are finding out that freedoms under Obama have decreased overall.

"Compared to the inaugural WND Freedom Index released in June, those who said freedoms had increased under Obama had dropped 9 percent, from 41 percent last month to 32 percent this month," he reported.

"Most of those people have slipped into what could be characterized as a 'neutral' position as they wait to see what happens next," he said.
He said the events over the last few weeks have been striking.

I think it boils down to this. Some People do not feel they have as much freedom as they once did and they feel the government is taking more and more of their freedoms everyday. I think there are too many laws being passed and how the Constitution and Bill of Rights is not being held against these laws as much as they were at one time.
