Over two hundred years ago,
in a defining moment in history, fifty-six remarkable men made a choice
between servitude and freedom. For them, it meant placing their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor at risk to create this great
land of liberty. For those who have followed, it has meant living the
blessings of freedom so unselfishly secured for them.
July 4th, 1776, sparked not
only the American Revolution, but a flame for freedom and a passion
for liberty that remains unmatched in the world today. Never before
had mankind been entrusted with a system of self-government, individual
responsibility, and economic freedom. With this trust in man came human
ingenuity, industrial marvels and technological triumphs. America prospered
and flourished. Immigrants flocked to her shores lured by hopes and
dreams of a better life.
Today, prolific public policies
and a mammoth government ridicule the constitutional principles established
by our forefathers. Our government has grown to kingly proportions,
arrogantly trampling the basic rights of its citizens. The few rule
the many. But because our founders had remarkable foresight, we have
the constitutional protections to move government back into its proper
role.
It is, therefore, our duty
to restore those precious constitutional principles into our lives,
our public policy and our government. We must demand accountability,
become informed and actively challenge the laws, regulations and actions
of our government that do not respect those principles. If we are to
keep this great land, we must become as committed to liberty as our
forefathers and guard it with the same sleepless vigilance. That is
why we created Liberty Matters.
Liberty Matters is more
than a name. It is a culmination of love of country, hard work and
a passion for freedom. It is our mission to rekindle the flame of bravery
in the hearts of Americans to stand, never compromise and never waiver
in defending the principles of freedom.
With undiminished devotion,
we intend to educate, motivate, intrigue, humble and inspire all Americans.
As Thomas Jefferson said: "The last hope of human liberty in this
world rests on us."
Those words were never more true than today.
This publication is about hope,
about courage and its about the heart and soul of America. It
is our desire that you carry from these pages the torch of freedom
and that great American spirit ignited by our forefathers over two
centuries ago. |
