Happy Birthday USA





Today we Celebrate the birth of Our Nation. In all of our celebrations, family gatherings, and fireworks we must not loose sigt of what we are celebrating. We Celebrate the birth of nation founded on a premises never before conceived. The notion that All Men are Created Equal and are endowed by their Creator with the rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.. The founders of our nation set out to protect these God Given rights. They did this first by sacrificing their own lives, the lives of their families and their Fortunes fighting a revolution that they were not supposed to win against what was a the time the mightiest empire in the world. Having done the impossible and won their independence they then set out to create a governing document unique in history. That Document was our constitution. This constitution was unique in that it limited the power of the federal government first by enumerating the first powers it did have then by further dividing that authority into three branches of government thus no one individual could have absolute power.

Today as we see a judiciary encroaching on the legislature and the executive powers, and when we see an ever growing federal government who seems intent on appropriating powers that the founding fathers
never intended it to have. It is incumbent on us the voters to read and remember the words of our founding documents and begin the process of taking our government back. We have elections coming up, and while we are all focusing on the presidential candidates (none of which are rally that inspiring) let us remember that there are also local, state and federal positions on the ballot. Everyone of these races could begin the process of returning out government to it's founding roots.


Here are our founding documents lest we forget;



Constitutions



Declaration of Independnce


Read them, learn them, love them and fight for
them they are worth every bit of our blood and sweat and they are the founding
documents of the the one nation that is in the words of Bill Benet "The last
Best Hope of Man Kind"
