"The two
enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie down
the second with the chains of the Constitution so the second does not
become the legalized version of the first." - Thomas
Jefferson.
"Knowledge will
forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own
Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives." - James
Madison.
Dear
Patriots,
As our
Declaration of Independence explains, the only legitimate purpose of
any government is to secure our God-given inalienable rights.
As our founding fathers explained, you cannot be ignorant and free.
Yet, most Americans have no idea either the purpose of government or
what their inalienable rights are.
Some of our inalienable rights are mentioned in the Declaration of
Independence or in our U.S. Constitution. Many are
not. Among our God-given inalienable rights not mentioned
are: (1) the right to marry; (2) the right to beget children; and (3)
the right to direct the upbringing and education of our
children.
It should come as no surprise that our governments constantly attempt
to intrude upon these rights. Our founding fathers warned us
that they would. It also should come as no surprise that as
Americans become more and more ignorant of their rights, our local,
state and federal governments become more aggressive in violating those
rights. After all, our governments consist of equally
ignorant Americans who do not perceive the threat that governments pose
to liberty. Some Americans are even hostile toward the fundamental
right of parents to direct the upbringing of their children.
Because of the current and increasing threat to parental rights, an
organization called parentalrights.org
has formed. Parentalrights.org
has drafted a proposed Parental Rights Amendment for our U.S.
Constitution. The amendment states in part that, "[t]he
liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their
children is a fundamental right." I encourage you to visit
their website to better understand the threat, the reasons for the
threat, the proposed solution and what you can do to help. www.parentalrights.org.
Let's Roll,
Patriots.
