Recently, Ang Kapatiran Party (AKP) issued a statement on the Peoples Freedom of Information (FOI) bill. I want to impress on our people that AKP continues to be active in sharing its stands and views on issues and concerns that beset the country.

In July 2011, AKP, through the indirect initiative provision, Section 3(b) of Republic Act No. 6735 (the Initiative and Referendum Act), petitioned the House of Representatives to enact an FOI law. Despite this effort, both Congress and the executive department never gave priority to this long-overdue legislation.

To date, we still do not have freedom of information.

AKP believes that without freedom of information, there can be no genuine matuwid na daan. An authentic matuwid na daan demands an institutional foundation that addresses two key, indispensable objects of good governance. The first is for a more responsive government planning. The availability of information enhances broader public participation around policy objectives and design. It also enables the private sector to make sound long-term economic decisions. This, in turn, advances a nations economic efficiency and competitiveness. The second is for greater transparency. The free flow of government information is a vital safeguard against corruption. It exposes vested interests and leads to the identification of corrupt officials. The peoples right to government information therefore is a political imperative, an element indispensable in a functioning representative democracy.

AKP is a memberperhaps the only national political party memberof the Right to Know, Right Now! Coalition which has long been campaigning for the passage of the FOI Act.

No matter. The convening of the 16th Congress brings renewed hope. On July 1, 2013, the clock will start ticking on the Peoples FOI bill. The clamor for an FOI law will put to test the spirit of the indirect initiative provision of RA 6735, which provides that the procedure to be followed shall be the same as the enactment of any legislative measure, except that the initiative bill shall have precedence over pending legislative measures in the committees.

This Peoples FOI bill is but a manifestation of and testament to the coalitions support for President Aquinos dream of matuwid na daan and the peoples dream for its institutionalization.

They stand as symbols of freedom. Some are perched on concrete pedestals at parks and military bases. Others guard the entrances to American Legion and VFW posts.

The thunder from their jet engines and deafening blasts from their barrels have long been silent. Yet their sun-baked shrouds remain as reminders of their historic roles in the nations defense.

Freedom Park at Nellis Air Force Base has the most prolific display of war relics in Southern Nevada. Eight jets line the lawn at Freedom Park, spanning five decades of combat training.

Theres an F-86 Sabre from the Korean War era; an F-111A Ardvark, F-105G Thunderchief, and an F-4C Phantom from the Vietnam War; an F-100D Super Sabre from 1954 that was first to fly level, supersonic speeds; an F-5 Freedom Fighter flown by Nellis aggressors from 1972 to 1989.

Theres also an A-10 Thunderbolt from the New Orleans-based Ragin Cajuns reserve wing; and the Stealth on a Stick, a black F-117A Nighthawk that flew under a cloak of secrecy at Tonopah Test Range in the 1980s.

This is a visual history of Nellis and fighter pilots, the modern successor of knights and chivalry, said Jerry White, the 99th Air Base Wing historian.

Whether you are a pilot, maintainer, weapons guy or a G.I. or Marine in a foxhole, this means the difference between life and death, he said as he gave a preview for Independence Day of the Freedom Park display.

OTHER AIRCRAFT, ARTILLERY

The aircraft plus an F-16 Fighting Falcon outside the Thunderbirds hangar and another red-white-and-blue jet, an F-84F Thunderstreak near Creech Air Force Base, 45 miles northwest of Las Vegas, are all on loan from the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at the Wright-Patterson base in Ohio.

Similarly, a pair of towed artillery guns and a UH-1H Huey Iroquois helicopter parked at Amargosa Valley VFW Post 6826 are on loan from the Army Tank and Automotive Command in Warren, Mich.

Memories of America's Freedom Festival at Provo and Stadium of Fire run deep in our community -- ranging from the energy of the performances to the emotions of the patriotic messages. Here are a few great memories from The Ticket's Facebook fans:

"We were at the first Stadium of Fire where they tried to light a record number of firecrackers. You could feel the wall of heat everywhere in the stadium and they had to turn the fire hoses on the people in the first few rows to cool them down."

-- Liz Ramsey Petersen

"One year, my parents and siblings were invited to sing with the Hope of America kids at the Stadium of Fire. Being able to sign all those patriotic songs really got us in the right spirit for the 4th of July."

-- Larisa Elder

"One year Glenn Beck hosted the show and they had a huge oven in the middle of the stage and burned a huge flag to retire it. It was amazing!"

-- Annie Humphrey Hallam

"Sitting with my whole family listening to the girls behind us screaming for the Jonas Brothers. We were laughing and they were crying. It was great."

-- Kimie Chournos Snapp

"Being there with my dad and watching the jets fly over and him always standing up when they asked who was a veteran in the audience. I miss those days and memories."

A row has broken out over a village newsletter after a council said it wanted to check letters and emails from the public before they were published.

Jonathan Butler, editor of the Shepreth newsletter, published an open letter in the July edition saying "freedom of speech" was at stake following Shepreth Parish Council's request.

He said the letters pages were there for "people to express their views".

The parish council said his comments were "out of context and misleading".

Its clerk, Charles Cook, had written to Mr Butler in May to say he had received an email from a local resident concerning the recreation ground.

Shepreth Parish Council does not and will not suppress freedom of speech or the rights of anyone to voice their opinion

He said it contained "inaccurate" information and asked Mr Butler not to print it in the newsletter, if he received the letter.

In the email seen by the BBC, Mr Cook then wrote: "May I also ask that if you receive any letters or emails etc from residents concerning the parish council that you confirm the accuracy and content with me before printing it."

The All Saints' Shepreth Church and Village Newsletter is published every month and is delivered for free to all of the households in the Cambridgeshire village.

Gaining Financial Freedom

When you hear the term, "financial freedom," a few stock images may pop to mind: The lottery winner rolling in sudden cash; the wealthy socialite dripping in diamonds; the silver-haired couple sailing into retirement on a yacht. But financial freedom doesnt have to be about when or if. Ultimately, its about making the choices that will help you live the life you want right now. And its just as much about how you feel as it is about what you own.

Net worth and what you have in the bank are only part of it, says Meadow Devor, money coach and creator of the Money Love workshop a self-guided course to changing how you think about money. Financial freedom is also determined by your thoughts and emotions about money and worth. I've worked with millionaires who worry just as much as people barely above the poverty line. To me, financial freedom means no worry. It means peace.

Here are seven women, including Meadow herself, who are living proof that you can attain financial freedom at any age and from any walk of life--and sooner than you may think. Keep reading to learn how they did.

How I define financial freedom: A state of mind. Before, I would have said: A lot of money. A big house. A walk-in closet. A fancy car. It was always about stuff, not about freedom. Losing all of my "stuff" changed everything for me. I learned that living a simple and frugal life brings me so much joy. When the clutter was cleared away, I saw that what really mattered was the amount of love in my life, the people that I connected with, the time I spent with my daughter. The striving for more and more kept me from focusing on what I did have in my life and it clouded my ability to feel gratitude.

How I achieved it: In early 2009, I was a newly divorced, single mom with more than half-a-million dollars in debt. I spent the next two years working three jobsas a coach, a piano teacher, and an Apple sales rep. I sold everything I ownedhandbags, shoes, jewelry, an armoire, garden pots, a lawn mower, even my favorite Gucci dress. I sold my house and moved into a small place, and rented out part of it. At first I felt defeated, scared, and really stupid. But the self-loathing wasn't helping me pay the debt off any faster, so I decided to forgive myself and focus on what I could learn and teach others. Every time I sold something, or made another payment, I rewarded myself with self-pride. I shared the journey openly with my daughter (who was in elementary school at the time). During the payoff years, she knew that any extra money went toward debt and that we were making sacrifices as a family for our future. I socked every dime toward paying it off, which I did by November 2011. Since then, I set a new Net Worth Goal each year and share the details with my students. If I do buy something now, it must meet these three criteria: Do I love it? Will I use it? And can I afford it? If so, I pay for it--in cash.

My definition of financial freedom: The ability to be generous. I grew up in a home where cost dictated every move. My dream was to reach a point where I could be comfortable, feel safe, and be generous. I tithe 10 percent to my church, give money to folks who need it, save for the short-term and for retirement, and take my intern out to lunch once a week because I remember what its like to be broke. Being generous keeps me from being too attached to money, which is the greatest freedom of all.
