Liberty? Rights? Justice? Freedom?

Where Is the Outrage?

For many years now, our basic liberties have been steadily taken from us and few seem to notice. Today, we have very few of the freedoms many of us enjoyed just a few years ago.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

Please consider:

  1. Parents can be punished for spanking children (and how many don't need spanking occasionally?).

  2. Children can be punished for using fingers as toy guns.

  3. Children can be taken from homes without due process if parents are only accused of abusing them.

  4. Teachers are not permitted to maintain discipline in the classroom.

  5. Teachers are not permitted to tell students what is “right” or “wrong.”

  6. Government schools “brainwash” children on issues invading family rights.

  7. Fathers/husbands can be forced out of their homes without due process based on the whim of a wife or lover.

  8. Children have “rights” formerly reserved for parents.

  9. Parents can divorce with no consideration given to the existence of children.

  10. Employers cannot hire, fire or promote without considering government regulations.

  11. Landlords cannot choose who they rent to without considering government regulations.

  12. Critical aspects of serious national problems are considered politically incorrect and therefore not permitted in public debate.

  13. Those who attempt such can face serious consequences.

  14. Preachers are threatened if they discuss political issues from the pulpit.

  15. Freedom to publicly pray is now denied.

  16. The Ten Commandments cannot be displayed in public buildings.

  17. Courts can determine a “motive” behind a word or deed.

  18. Legislators grant “special privileges” to a multitude of special interest groups (in the land of equal opportunity).

  19. Companies are given tax incentives to move manufacturing facilities to other countries.

  20. Government people (either elected, appointed or hired) are rarely held accountable for misdeeds or even criminal acts.

  21. The SEC permits companies to hide critical information from investors.

  22. Third party candidates are kept out of the political process.

...and on, and on, and on ad infinitum. How much worse can it possibly get?

Our mailboxes are filled with requests for funds from faith based organizations, family values organizations, organizations designed to “preserve our liberties” and so called conservative organizations, all or most of which seem to have little concern about recovering what was lost even before 9-11.

Most or all of these groups are involved in “defensive measures” designed to slow the growth of these types of issues, but rarely work to educated their supporters about these losses or AGGRESSIVELY work to recover these lost BASIC RIGHTS.

For our country to survive as our Founding Fathers envisioned, we MUST change from a defensive mode to an OFFENSIVE mode. It has been said that most efforts resulting in improved conditions in our country have been the result of an enraged clergy. There is no group better prepared or who has more at stake than our clergy in restoring the freedoms and God-given rights to our families and children.

There is no way such an effort can be labeled as political. Such an effort is a grass roots effort to restore the cultural values as expressed so clearly in many of our founding documents.

There is good reason to believe that few people actually realize how our political leaders have failed in protecting our God-given and constitutionally protected rights. While no one can KNOW the will of God, how can He look with favor on those who RECOGNIZE THESE LOSSES and neglect to use their influence to restore our rights?

Your participation in this effort is critical if our country is to survive as our Founders envisioned.
