If we have freewill, then if we tried to move a mountain, we should be able to do it. Likewise, if we were to die, we should be able to raise ourselves from the dead. Both of these should be possible as a result of our freewill choice.
Our environment should not be able stand in our way, if we had free will, and neither should we need our bodies to perform any action. If our choices are only dependent upon other factors, then it is only obvious that we don't have as much freewill as we think.

Free will gives us the option of overcoming our ingrained desire to thrive as a species. I think that people are born with selfish desire and only through experience can we decide to act in accordance with what we feel is right. Obviously this is difficult for many people because there is a lot of evil in the world.

Free Will is a movement to free William Morovian, a former circus clown, failed mime, and canine rapist from a ten-year Oklahoma jail sentence for perpetrating a multi-level marketing scheme involving albino pack rats. :)

Free will is the belief or the philosophical doctrine that holds that humans have the power to choose their own deeds.
there are many challenges to that claim. (think Blade Runner)
this topic leads to some mighty interesting discussions

Will is dictated from the past. All choices made are extensions of past experience. Therefore there is no such thing as free will, only learnt responses. True freedom of will implies no interference.

Free will MEANS that we "could have" chosen something differently.
It doesn't make sense,
but if you want to try to make it make sense,
be my guest.
