A Call to Action to All Liberty Minded Coloradans

This is the time we must ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by our Founding Fathers. Our Founder’s established a Republican form of government in order to protect our freedoms.

We believe a government that is strong but limited secures liberty best. The letter of the Constitution defines these limitations, and when our government oversteps them, it becomes tyrannical regardless of the party in power.
This notion of limited government guided our Founders as they composed the Declaration of Independence. This established a nation guided by the rule of law, not the rule of man.

We believe the fundamental duty of the federal government is to secure the rights of its citizens. This is accomplished through a fair justice system, a strong national defense, and a foreign policy that always puts America’s interests first.

We believe that the Constitution of the United States is supreme law of the land, and the best instrument yet instituted by man for protecting personal liberty by establishing a very limited and defined role for government.

Its genius lies in its clear separation of powers at the federal level and its recognition that other non-enumerated powers reside with the states and their citizens.

We believe that the only economic philosophy congruent with these commitments to individual liberty and limited government is free market capitalism.
Individuals contribute to this system through personal industry and initiative; government contributes by confining its regulatory activity within constitutional limits and by employing a system of taxation that is fair and comprehensible for all citizens.

Entitlements and welfare schemes destroy not only personal initiative and responsibility, but also liberty and prosperity.

Political freedom is inseparable from economic freedom. Thus, when the government stays within its constitutional role, America prospers.

Fact is that government cannot give to anybody what it does not first take from somebody else.

However, now the ruling party is replete with western apologists for socialist political and economic agendas.
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality.

Democracy seeks equality in liberty;
Socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”
I see on the horizon a looming threat — a threat that will challenge the freedoms written in the blood and toil of our nation’s Founders

LET THERE BE NO DOUBT

The Patriot’s allegiance to our Constitution and the authority of our Declaration of Independence far exceeds loyalty to any individual, organization or political party
Do we believe in our capacity for self-government or have we abandoned the VERY IDEA of Freedom that our Fore Fathers Established for us.

The Founding Fathers knew a government can’t control the economy without controlling the people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose.
Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this very moment.”

Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your very own life
If you are afraid of reprisals recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he WILL eat you last.

NOW WE HAVE COME TO A TIME OF CHOOSING

Will we preserve this last great bastion of freedom?
Or will we sentence OUR CHILDREN to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children say of us:
THEY justified THEIR brief moment here. THEY did all that could be done. THEY fought for freedom with THEIR last dying breaths. The liberties and freedom of our country are worth defending at all hazards.  It is our sworn duty to defend them against all attacks.

Let us honor the sacrifices of Samuel Adams and the Founders this Independence Day By defending freedom as we should
and striving to rebuild the foundation they so carefully laid for our Country. Americans we are in for the fight of our lives
and surely if we lose this fight we lose our country.

The battle is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active and the brave.

I close with the words of the Samuel Adams:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”

MAY GOD BLESS AND PRESERVE AMERICA
