WE THE PEOPLE
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
"CONGRESS SHALL MAKE no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS secured this Essential Freedom against overwhelming odds through great adversity, securing it first with the blood of our Patriots shed in the War of the Revolution, then through the course of intense and extended debate, leading finally to the adoption of the Bill of Rights.
THIS CHERISHED FREEDOM is under attack now, not only by the media, not only by academia, but by the Executive Branch of the United States Government itself. The President, the Departments of Justice and State, and the Internal Revenue Service, have all abdicated their sworn duty to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. They have instead, with full knowledge of the enormity of their acts, systematically betrayed the American People in repeated transgressions, malfeasances, and usurpations, and in so doing have emerged as our foremost domestic enemy in what will be the defining Constitutional struggle of our times, perhaps of our National History.
WE ARE CALLED at this crucial moment to bear Witness to the Truth of God, to uphold and to defend this vital, First Freedom and all Freedoms that derive from it. Without Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Association, and the Right to Petition our Government for redress of grievances, would there remain any substantive Freedoms for us to enjoy?
