The degree to which the so-called progressives have removed the Founders' ideas from our public square is astounding. Everywhere we see evidence of that.
Now is the time to follow through on what was begun on Election Day 2010. Stick to the words of the Founders themselves. They are unmistakeably clear.
As the inscription on the Liberty Bell goes, "Proclaim liberty throughout the land." Those who see their freedom being swallowed up by big government are ready to hear that message. What happens in 2012 will, in large part, be determined by how quickly Tea Partiers and others spread the Founders' ideas among the masses.
Between now and the next election cycle are many national holidays:
New Years Day (off with the old - tyranny, on to the new - liberty & a great time for remembrances)
Martin Luther King, Jr. (Content of Character, not color of skin) Freedom of Association, 2nd Amendment & blacks/slaves, etc.
Lincoln’s Birthday - Union & Constitution, Federal Powers, etc.
Washington’s Birthday (Pres. Day) - Discuss this Founding Father and his views of America
Memorial Day - what’s it all about?, Why We Fight & die?
Independence Day - obvious
Labor Day - Right to Work or earn a living, plus discuss labor in other countries & compare to America - great day to discuss the natural need for labor unions (Freedom of Association) v. government fiat giving unions powers by law.
Columbus Day - celebrate this great man and refute the lies about him - America, a God founded land.
Veterans Day - Again our great legacy of fighting not only for our own freedom, but the liberty of free men & women everywhere.
Thanksgiving Day - a unique American holiday - God, Country & Liberty
Christmas - obvious
Our family takes the US Citizenship Test every year. We read the Declaration of Independence at 4th of July. Coolidge has an excellent speech on Thanksgiving here:

So do other Presidents - Washington: http://www.teachingamericanhistory.org/library/index.asp?document=20
All the above are neutral enough that any liberal/progressive will stay silent or better yet expose themselves as radicals & anti-Americans.
Children need to hear this, but even more so adults who’ve forgotten our liberties and our greatness. The mushy middle that votes like a whipsaw.
Conservatives have no excuse when it comes to getting the message out.
