America was the first and only nation to recognize that our rights come from God not from a king or from a government. Our rights cannot be taken away by man or by government. Our government cannot exist but by our consent.

"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not violated but with his wrath?" -Thomas Jefferson
