Our Philosophy
We believe in the vision of our founding fathers: in limited, constitutional government, frugal spending, balanced budgets, a
strong and ready military for defensive purposes, sovereignty, and liberty.
We believe that our nation is not a democracy, but a free republic.
We believe in the sanctity of life and the goodness of mankind.
We believe that as a free nation we should spread goodwill throughout the world.
We believe that we should work together with other countries to exchange cultural and religious traditions, education,
science and technology, and to trade goods and services, while avoiding entangling alliances.
America was founded on the principle that our rights are not granted by the state, but are inherent, inalienable, and God-
given.
Our early American patriots sacrificed their blood and treasure so their posterity (you and me) could live free from tyranny.
We should never take their sacrifice for granted.
Freedom of the press
"Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have"
- Richard Salant, former President of CBS News
Our framers were wise enough to know that a free press was necessary to thoroughly scrutinize and criticize those who are
in power. We believe that our "free press, " i.e.mainstream media is not really free, but controlled by a small ilk of elitists,
many of who subscribe to international socialism, communism, and Zionism.
Are we really free?
"Give me control of the economics of a country; and I care not who makes her laws."
--Amsel Rothschild (of the Rothschild banking family)
Our money, media, many of our institutions, and a significant number of key positions in agencies of our own government
are in the hands of international socialists/globalists who believe that our rights are granted by the state (government) and
thus can be taken away. Are we really free? We are free to a point. But in reality, we are not truly free until we are free of our
own government. Our founders knew that centralized government at best was a necessary evil and should be limited.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and then by
deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their
children wake up homeless on the continent their father's conquered...I believe that banking institutions are more
dangerous to our liberties than standing armies...The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the
Government, to whom it properly belongs."
--Thomas Jefferson
Unfortunately, there are many politicians in Washington, DC and only a handful of statesmen. Regardless of party
affiliation, members of Congress and others who have been elected by the people to serve as public servants are often
beholden to the bankers and financiers who fund their ascension to power, war (e.g. Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.), and who
perpetuate high taxes and an increase in the power and scope of government.
Democrats are known as liberal and generally favor more government and higher taxes. Limited government was once the
centerpiece of the Republican mantra. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. The Republican party has been hijacked by
the so-called neo-conservative movement, the founders of which are left-wing Straussians who promote perpetual war,
revolution and control of the people. We should not be fooled by these pseudo-conservatives as they are impostors.
"When the government fears the people, you have liberty. When the people fear the government, you have tyranny."
--Thomas Jefferson
What can we do?
We believe that if we are to restore our once-free republic, it is essential that our elected representatives do the following:
We invite you to study the pages and the links contained within this website. Study them carefully and thoroughly, ask
questions and seek answers, then decide for yourself. Read the excellent books on our reading list and search for others
that help to "piece the puzzle together." If after careful and vigilant study you reach the conclusion as we have, that many if
not most of our elected officials, especially at the federal level, have failed to uphold and protect the Constitution of the
United States of America as they took an oath to do, then we ask that you join us in our cause to restore limited,
constitutional government.

God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

What can we do?
We believe that if we are to restore our once-free republic, it is essential that our elected representatives do the following:
- Secure our borders and shores immediately
- Rescind the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and allow Congress the power to coin and regulate the value of our
money, as stated in Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution - Withdraw from the UN
- Significantly reduce the size of government and drastically reduce taxes
- Balance the federal budget
- Abandon our "Israel First" policy
- Have strict oversight of the spending and activities of all government departments and agencies
- Abolish laws which entangle the state and federal government in our free enterprise system
- Stop meddling in the affairs of other nations
- Beware of world bodies, institutions, and "think tanks" such as the CFR, WTO, World Bank, et al
- Reverse the trend toward an evolving police state and world government
- Reject the creation of a North American Union and other threats to US sovereignty
- Thoroughly and genuinely investigate the attacks of 9-11-01 and scrutinize the so-called "War On Terror"
- Align legislation with the Constitution and abolish laws which fail the test
