William Penn

product image Government, like clocks, goes from the motion men give them; and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too.  Wherefore governments rather depend upon men, than men upon governments.  Let men be good, and the government cannot be bad.  But if men be bad, the government (will) never (be) good.

Glenn Beck

product image Two hundred and thirty-five years ago, a British citizen with only a basic education set off to make a new life for himself in the British colonies. For two years he worked hard and watched as his fellow colonists grew tired of British oppression. Then he decided to act. Using his contacts in the publishing industry, Thomas Paine anonymously released a pamphlet that made the case for the revolution using extraordinarily logical, straightforward, indisputable arguments. He called it Common Sense. Once Paine put his feelings into words, he realized that he wasn’t along. Only seven months passed between the release of Common Sense in January 1776 and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. . . Seven months that changed the world, forever. . . Thomas Paine was an unremarkable man living in a remarkable time. He proved that it doesn’t take celebrity, stature, or wealth to make a difference-it only takes someone willing to say the things that need to be said. . . . Silence has gotten us nowhere so it’s once again time for our collective voice to make a simple yet powerful demand . . . Don’t Tread on Me.

Dr. D. James Kennedy

product image “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” I imagine when eighteenth-century British spokesman Edmund Burke spoke this powerful truth, he never envisioned how his words would apply to our lives today. Yet, in America today we stand at a crossroads. As the practice of traditional, biblical morality decays around us, many choose to watch from the sidelines. In a time when many cling to the ideals of relative truth, few are willing to share God’s absolute Truth. As Burke’s words remind us, we do our neighbors no favors by keeping silent. Ignoring the changes around us will not make them cease, nor will it protect us from the effects of this steady decline. Christians can make a difference! If they will but decide that, though they can’t do everything, they can do something, and what they can do they will do, we can change the nation. Scripture clearly calls believers to faithful service-even in the little things, and as we are faithful, God uses our efforts. We need not worry about the immediate impact; instead, we obey His leading and trust Him for the results.

Ronald Reagan

product image Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.



If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.    


Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.


Man is not free unless government is limited.


No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!


We are never defeated unless we give up on God.



We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.



Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.


Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.


Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
