"These are the times that try men's souls...."  So begins Thomas Paine's The Crisis.  These words were written in 1776 to the citizens of thirteen colonies in the midst of a rebellion with their mother country.  Two hundred and thirty-three years later, these words again ring true. 
We are currently faced with a nation "on the brink."  We've suffered throughWall Street's collapse, government takeovers of the auto industry, banks and investment houses, a failed stimulus package, looming cap and tax legislation, massive rising unemployment,  higher taxes and a shrinking currency, an ever increasing national debt and health care legislation that will reduce medical care while increasing its costs and adding to the national debt.  The White House has appointed unvetted "czars," many of them avowed Marxists, accountable only to the president, who shape and make policies that affect us all. There are constant assaults on our freedom of speech and right of assembly, attempted censorship of all branches of the media and attacks on the Second Amendment.  
Washington seems to have set itself against the people by refusing to hear their voices as expressed by the TEA Parties, letters, faxes, phone calls and e-mails sent on a daily basis.  Instead, government resorts to insulting, demeaning  and dismissing them.  This is where we stand now. 
If you believe that we live in a democratic republic-a government of the people, by the people and for the people, then don't give up. It's time to work to restore faith and hope in the greatest country in the world and the greatest single document ever written, our Constitution.

"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."  Edmund Burke, 1729-1797
Ever since being elected, our president has apologized to the world for America's alleged "faults" and "imperfections."  For too long we have watched while the White House has appointed socialists, Marxists and Communists,  without one word of protest from any member of the Senate or the House, as "czars" to control every aspect of our lives.  For too long the "lame stream" media has remained silent to the daily lies, fabrications and "crises" created by the current administration and its sycophant minions.  For too long we have watched as our national debt has grown in excess of $12 Trillion dollars.  For too long we have witnessed the introduction of TARP packages, stimulus packages, auto maker bailouts, bank and Wall Street bailouts, a bloated budget, a cap-and-trade bill, and a health care "reform" bill, all of which the populace vehemently protested. For too long we have put up with a Senate and a Congress that have turned deaf ears to their constituents.
The time has come to turn the tide.  It's time to arm all freedom loving Americans with the intellectual ammunition necessary to stop our country's march toward progressivism, socialism and Marxism.  It's time to become informed about  the issues that are not being reported by the liberal news media.  It's time to take our country back!
Who are we?  We are the children of the "greatest generation,"  who fought in foreign lands to defeat Nazism, socialism and fascism.  Today, we question why we have to fight the same battle with our own government.  The very idea of having to negotiate and compromise with leftists, socialists,  progressives and communists in Congress and the White House, is appalling.  Where are the patriots and statemen in Congress?  We, the people, were too complacent and trusting and so convinced that "this couldn't happen here."  We trusted our representatives.  We know better now!  As for us, here is what we trust in: "Let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."  Thomas Jefferson
We believe that America is great and that her best days are ahead of her!  We believe that our culture, values, traditions - our very Constitution- are under attack.  We believe that the time has come to get off the couch, go to the phone, the computer, the fax machine, a TEA Party, a rally, or even just a neighbor, and fight to get our country back!
