The Third Amendment: More Profound than Previously Thought

When we are dealing with laws that govern our lives and our liberties, it is self-evident that the writing of these laws should not be arbitrary. So, what is the foundation upon which all laws should rest in order to protect our rights and establish justice?

Natural Law

Our interest in preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution of the United States lies not in preserving the document itself or even the system of government established by it, it lies in our interest in preserving, protecting, and defending our lives, liberty, and property.

Sweet - Land - Of - Liberty

From the ashes of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the fields of Pennsylvania, America emerged with a sense of unity, but also with deep questions about security, freedom, and the role of government.

Balancing National Security and Constitutional Rights

One of the principles of liberty our Founders adhered to is that only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to government, all others being reserved to the people.

The Proper Role of Government

One of the key features of the United States Constitution is the concept of limited, enumerated powers. This is an extremely important concept. When enforced, it protects the people from their government officials crossing the line between protecting their rights and telling them how they must live their lives.

Which is Worse - Too Few or Too Many Laws?

There are many things that we think we understand very well, but when we are asked to provide an actual definition, we struggle to come up with the right words. Having always lived with liberty, how can we really understand what it is?

Do We Know What Liberty Is?

The father of our Country advised us to be very careful in placing our trust in the ability of the people to maintain a standard of right and wrong without that standard being held in place by a system of religious beliefs and practices.

Safeguarding - Liberty - And - Happiness

The outcome of elections does have a significant impact on our lives. Elections help to shape our future for good or bad. Now that the voting is complete, what is the role of the citizen? Do we simply wait for the next election to roll around?

Post Election Action

Thanksgiving is a time to pause and reflect on the countless blessings God has bestowed upon us. It is a moment to turn our hearts toward Him in gratitude...

The Power of Gratitude

The true strength of volunteerism lies in its capacity to transform both individuals and communities. Through serving others, volunteers fortify the social fabric and uphold the core values of freedom.
