We the People...

    "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education.  This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."  Thomas Jefferson

 U.S Citizens "owners manual" for our republic

            The Constitution belongs to each citizen not a group of scholars, lawyers or politicians. Yes! It is a law written for us and it is written simply enough that we can understand it!  


"Even this nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground, and when the Constitution is upon the brink of ruin, this people will be the staff upon which the nation shall lean, and they shall bear the Constitution away from the very verge of destruction"( Source: The Words of Joseph Smith 416. Joseph Smith Collection, LDS Church Historical Department. Joseph Smith on July 19, 1840)



"We must have a generation of Americans who believe in the Founders original success formula and who have the ingenuity and grit to restore it as the founders initially planned it." W.Cleon Skousen, The Making of America
