Our Founding Fathers Gave Us a Republic - If We Could Keep it!!

Say a Prayer for America

Our Founding Fathers warned us.

George Washington

• "But if the laws are to be so trampled upon with impunity, and a minority is to dictate to the majority, there is an end put at one stroke to republican government, and nothing but anarchy and confusion is to be expected thereafter."

Abraham Lincoln

• America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
• "We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
• I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.

Thomas Jefferson

• I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.

James Madison

• Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.
