We Believe

1. That freedom isn’t free.  It requires the sacrifices, commitment and vigilance of everyday citizens to secure honest and effective government.
2. That those who govern closest to their constituencies govern best.
3. That the federal government has exceeded its constitutional authority
over the states and over the lives of its citizens.
4. That discipline in spending has been lost at both the state and federal levels and our nation is heading for economic calamity.
5. That free enterprise is the foundation for economic prosperity-not big
government.

We, therefore, commit ourselves to respectful, but assertive affirmation of the Constitution of the United States of America, its defined balance of powers, and its clearly defined limits of power.  We personally promote these beliefs among our fellow citizens, to candidates for office at all levels of government and to current office holders without regard to political affiliation.

The end of that road is anarchy--and many have traveled its painful way.

When a nation forgets God, all hell can break loose. Against the backdrop of the American Experiment, the French Revolution, Marxism, and of contemporary philosophers, T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) saw religion not as Plato's "Noble Lie", but as a “Noble Truth”. Some had advanced the notion of religion for the “simple people”, as “useful” for social order, but not as something worthy of elites on the basis of cognitive reasoning. From the philosophical rigor gained at Harvard, the Sorbonne and at Oxford, Eliot warned of a nascent danger to Christianity explicitly—and to the whole of society implicitly:
