417 – Remembering the Battles of Lexington and Concord

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
Paul Revere’s Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Most of us who grew up here in America learned about the battles of Lexington and Concorde from this Longfellow poem. Who does not remember, “One if by land, and two if by sea;” or Paul Revere’s cries of “The British are coming! The British are coming!”?

The part is most of the stories we have heard are not true. Whether poetic license or outright propaganda has been lost to history. However, the story behind those battles is not only well worth the telling, but of great importance to anyone today who still claims the title American.

413 – How the 16th Amendment Destroyed the Republic

As April 15th approaches, and people spend valuable time and money on filing their income tax return. While plenty of people grouse and complain about paying income taxes, most don’t realize that the cause of their pain is the actions of the states back in 1913. When the states ratified the Sixteenth Amendment they did more than just help the feds collect income taxes, they fundamentally changed the republic for the worse.

411 – Electing a U.S. President

Every four years, the United States goes through the ritual of electing a President. I use the term ritual for two reasons.

The Myth of Case Law

Whenever I talk to an attorney, the conversation starts revolving around “case law”. Legal principles enunciated and embodied in judicial decisions that are derived from the application of particular areas of law to the facts of individual cases. Case Law – The Free Legal Dictionary What if I could prove to you that both “case…

Is the U.S. Department of Education Legal?

With all of the money spent by the federal government to influence state and local education systems, one question never seems to be asked. Is the Department of Education even legal?

Minute Men

I’m sure you remember the Minute Men, those members of the Massachusetts Militia that were ready at a minute’s notice to rise to the defense of their fellow colonists. The third part of The Patriots Program is just that, a group of men and women ready to rise to the defense of their fellow citizens at a moment’s notice. All of us hear about some constitutional injustice or another from time to time. What if we could share that information, through a group like the Committees of Correspondence. What if we had people around the country who have been trained by a program like the Constitutional Scholars to defend their rights and the rights of others. And what if there was someone, or even a group of someones, who were prepared to stand up and help defend their fellow citizens? People like the Minute Men.

Committees of Correspondence

Knowledge is not something we should keep to ourselves. Between the tendency of patriot groups to not work together and the censorship that is running rampant in our country, we tend to feel isolated and alone. However, the best way to combat that starts with communication.
