Introduction

I want to use this blog to stimulate discussion on how to preserve the foundations of our nation. I believe the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights and subsequent amendments have given us the best basis of government the world has ever known. I believe our Founding Fathers were inspired men who rose above themselves, faults and all, to create a system and a nation which was greater than the sum of its parts.

I, and millions more, have taken an oath to support and defend that Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Our public officials take that oath also, for the most part, but I see many of them attacking the very document they swore to protect. Some attacks are overt, but many are covert, little bites wreaking an insidious toll on our nations freedoms. I am not much on conspiracies, but the Tri-Lateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations scare me with their stated intentions of moving to a world government. They scare me because many of our leaders, government officials, and corporate officers are sworn members.

I believe in participation in the UN, but not to the extent that we surrender ANY of our sovereignty to them. The concept for the UN is good, but the reality is that many of the 'co-equal' members represent governments that are dictatorial, totalitarian, or otherwise barbaric. To say their voice is equal to ours or any democratic society is ridiculous. This does not mean that the people of these nations are not our equals, all peoples are of value regardless of their differences, but their governments are outside of the brotherhood of man.

I am a Christian, and believe strongly in the divinity of Christ and in His Grace as my Salvation. I welcome people of all faiths (or none) who believe in peace, charity, brotherhood and the innate dignity of man. We have much more in common that we do between us, and Christ has admonished his followers to love all men, so I embrace any man who would be my brother.

How do we, that is all people of good will, take back our government from those who would have us submit to a world government? How do we get our Congressmen/women to stand firm against any weakening of our rights as citizens or our sovereignty as a nation? How do we encourage our leaders to fight terror without surrendering the very freedoms the terrorists seek to destroy? How will we move into the future as a united, sovereign nation?
