Thank you!

These hearings and the Supreme Court's opinions, both majority and minority, provide a great "teaching moment" for every individual who truly wishes to preserve (conserve) the Founders' ideas of what their Constitution meant.

Any of us who know a high school or college student who may be being propagandized by so-called "progressive" educators might do well to provide them with the Founders' own words on the nature of liberty and the nature of political and government tyranny. Else, how will they distinguish between the competing ideas?

We may be certain that, if they are in the so-called "public" schools, they likely are being propagandized by ideas which are foreign to America's Constitutional foundations.

A copy of Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny," or a Bicentennial (1987, now reprinted) volume entitled "Our Ageless Constitution," might help them to sort the wheat from the chaff of redistributionism.

Levin's work speaks for itself.

The older volume, which celebrated 200 years under the Constitution, is an easy-to-read, beautifully-illustrated 292-page hard-cover book utilizing the Founders' own words to describe the essential principles underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution's protections. In Part V, constitutional scholars in 1987 traced the methods by which America had been led away from those principles over the 200 years. It is available here. A click on the "endorsements" tab will show 1987 reaction to the volume, including words from President Reagan.

November 2012 provides young people an opportunity to participate in a decision which is critical to liberty. To be informed is to retain a possibility for their children's children to be free.
