"Freedom has its life in the hearts, actions, the
spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower
cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die."
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
The Preamble
of our National Platform states:
"The Constitution for the United States of America was established as
an inspired ensign and standard of liberty for all. It is the only
constitution based foremost upon the rights and liberties of a free and
independent people who are superior to government, having government as
their servant rather than as their master. We revere the founding
documents of America, honor the men who framed them, and ascribe all honor
and glory to the God who inspired them. We claim, second to
worshiping God, that our greatest responsibility as Americans is vigilance
in protecting our God-given Constitution and rights, both for ourselves
and our posterity.
We assert that we are in a Constitutional crisis. The major
provisions of the Constitution are being compromised and our God-given
rights are being intruded upon or eliminated at an alarming rate.
Our educational, economic, social, and political institutions are becoming
more perverted. The rights and nature of our national sovereignty,
Judeo-Christian heritage, and traditional family, are under escalating
attack. We solemnly declare that our Constitution, liberties, and
national sovereignty currently hang by a thread. We assert
that institutionalized corruption and the loss of our rights and
liberties are unconstitutional, unacceptable and inexcusable.
We claim that our Constitutional Republic can still be fully restored
by lawful means, but only to the extent that We The People stand united
and vigilant, as never before, in the cause of freedom.
'The people [not government]... are the only sure reliance for the
preservation of our liberty.' Thomas Jefferson"
(Underscores added for emphasis)
The
forces of totalitarianism are attacking our basic Freedoms and principles
enumerated in the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and our
Constitution. We are now embroiled in a desperate
battle with these forces to retain Freedoms bequeathed to us by the
Founders.
I am convinced that we shall be victorious in retaining our
Freedom and defeating the elitist organizations that have control of our
governmental process. The Spirit of Freedom is moving in mighty power
among the people in our nation. The great majority of
Americans still believe in the basic concepts of limited government and
Freedom for all people. There are literally
thousands of groups springing up now all across America dedicated to
defending Freedom in one area or another. I quote from Richard Paul
Evans in his book “The Letter”:
“It is often during the worst of times
that we see the best of humanity – awakening within the most ordinary of
us that which is most sublime. I do not believe that it is the
circumstances that produce such greatness anymore than it is the canvas
that makes the artist. Adversity merely presents the surface on which
we render our souls' most exacting likeness. It is in the darkest skies
that the stars are best seen.“
The greatness he speaks about lies within all of
us. Our potentials are largely untapped. Let us
therefore go forward in this epic endeavor to preserve Freedom and
exercise the leadership that Americans expect and deserve. To paraphrase
a statement made by Sir Winston Churchill in the dark days of the Battle
of Britain,
“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties,
and so bear ourselves that, looking back on our victory, generations yet
unborn will say, 'This was Freedom's finest hour!”

2 Chr. 7: 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
"Timid men prefer the calm of
despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty."
~ Thomas Jefferson
