Liberty Quotes

"This [audit] was made extremely difficult because [IRS] existing Systems were not designed to provide reliable financial information... on their operations." -- Charles A. Bowsher
Comptroller, Government Accounting Office
Source: on the first-ever audit of the IRS in 1993.

"Congress has doubled the IRS budget over the past 10 years -- making that agency one of the fastest growing non-entitlement programs. It has increased its employment by 20 percent. The IRS’s powers to investigate and examine taxpayers transcend those of any other law enforcement agency. Virtually all of the constitutional rights regarding search and seizure, due process, and jury trial simply do not apply to the IRS." -- Daniel Pilla

"The theory of the IRS is rather repugnant to me because the assumption is made that I, the government, owns 100% of your income and I permit you to keep 5%, 10% or 20%. You're vulnerable, you've sold out. The government can take 80% if they want, which they did at one time." -- Dr. Ron Paul
(1935-) American physician, US Congressman (R-TX), US Presidential candidate

American Minute with Bill Federer MAY 28 - Noah Webster

American Minute with Bill Federer
MAY 28 - Noah Webster
Invite Bill Federer for a speaking engagement click here
   
He left Yale for four years to fight in the Revolutionary War.

After graduation, he became a lawyer and taught school in New York.

Dissatisfied with the children's spelling books, he wrote the famous Blue-Backed Speller, which sold over one hundred million copies.

After twenty-six years of work, he published the first American Dictionary of the English Language.  

 

His name was Noah Webster, and he died MAY 28, 1843.

In his 1788 essay, "On the Education of Youth in America," printed in Webster's American Magazine, Noah Webster wrote:

"Scripture...may be read in schools, to great advantage. In some countries the common people are not permitted to read the Bible at all. In ours, it is as common as a newspaper and in schools is read with nearly the same degree of respect."

Noah Webster continued:

"My wish is...to see the Bible...used as a system of religion and morality."

In his History of the United States, 1832, Noah Webster wrote:

"The brief exposition of the Constitution of the United States, will unfold to young persons the principles of republican government...

The genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion."  

Noah Webster continued in The History of the United States, 1832:

"All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."

He was awarded the Navy's medal of heroism during World War II for helping to rescue sailors from the PT109.



He won the Pulitzer Prize for his book Profiles in Courage.

He was the youngest elected President, serving just over 1,000 days before being shot.
This was John F. Kennedy, born MAY 29, 1917.



Kennedy stated in his Inaugural, January 20, 1961:

"I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago. The world is very different now.

For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life."

John F. Kennedy continued:
"Yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe - The belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God."



Writing to Brazil's President, Janio da Silva Quadros, January 31, 1961, John F. Kennedy stated:

"Once in every 20 years presidential inaugurations in your country and mine occur within days of each other.
This year of 1961 is signalized by the happy coincidence.

At this time, each of us assumes challenging duties...
 
To each of us is entrusted the heavy responsibility of guiding the affairs of a democratic nation founded on Christian ideals."

Parental Rights- The PRA and the CRPD Both Advance

ParentalRights.org logo
Sign the Petition Donate Volunteer Learn More View Online
May 28, 2013
The PRA and the CRPD Both Advance
 
The Parental Rights Amendment (PRA) has been drafted and is being circulated in the House as Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) secures original cosponsors. We are very pleased with its early progress: in just 4 days before Congress went on recess, the PRA list of cosponsors reached double digits. (Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia, the tenth cosponsor, signed on last Friday.)

Meanwhile, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) has shown that it is still a threat to American parental rights. Senior staff connected to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have told Mike Farris face-to-face that a series of three hearings on the CRPD is planned to start sometime in June. Regardless of the exact date, there is no doubt this treaty will be returning soon. The time for action is now!
 

Action Items: Visit or Call
 
As alluded to earlier, Congress is on recess this week, so its members are in their home districts. That means that this week is a great time to make a local phone call or visit regarding these two matters.

First, call or visit your congressman and invite them to cosponsor the Parental Rights Amendment. Let them (or their staff) know to contact Patrick Fleming in Rep. Mark Meadows’ office for more information or to sign on in support. If they ask for a bill number, point out that we are seeking original cosponsors – a bill number has not yet been assigned.

If your congressman agrees to cosponsor, let them know that if they include Michael@parentalrights.org on their email to Rep. Meadows’ staff, we will update our website immediately to reflect their support.

To find contact information for your congressman, visit ParentalRights.org/states and click on your state. Then, click on the link to your congressman’s website for specific local offices and give them a call. If you can, try to enlist a few friends to go with you for a brief 5-10 minute visit.

Then, call or visit your senators and urge them to reject ratification of the CRPD. Let them know you care too much about American sovereignty and parental rights to ratify any treaty that would dictate U.S. domestic law over our families. If they deny that the CRPD would have this effect, urge them to take the time to be absolutely sure. And if they tell you our ratification will only create changes in other nations, ask them politely to show you the article that empowers the U.S. to govern other nations if we ratify the treaty.

You can find your senators’ contact information through ParentalRights.org/States by clicking on your state, then on the web link next to your senators’ names. Please gather a few friends and schedule a 5-10 minute visit in your senators’ local offices.

We will keep a close eye on both of these in the days ahead. We will watch with excitement as the list of PRA cosponsors grows, and we will keep you alerted to any movement on the CRPD. (When it arises, we plan to host events in D.C. and locally to help ensure its defeat. Please plan to join us if you can, and we will get you the dates as soon as we know them!)
 

Please Donate
 
Our diligence and preparation come at a cost. Defeating the CRPD while driving the PRA forward is neither an easy nor an inexpensive task. If you are able, please donate today to ParentalRights.org to keep both efforts going strong. Only with your help can we preserve parental rights in America for the next generations.

Thank you for standing with us to protect parental rights and American sovereignty from international intrusion.

Sincerely,

Michael Ramey
Director of Communications & Research

Liberty Quotes

"Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it." --
Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804)
Source: Federalist No. 22, December 14, 1787
http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Alexander.Hamilton.Quote.48DC

"Our legislators are not sufficiently appraised of the rightful limits of their power; that their true office is to declare and enforce our natural rights and duties, and to take none of them from us.  No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another; and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him; every man is under the natural duty of contributing to the necessities of the society; and this is all the laws should enforce on him; and, no man having the right to be the judge between himself and another, it is his natural duty to submit to the umpirage of an impartial third [party].  When the laws have declared and enforced all this, they have fulfilled their functions; and the idea is quite unfounded, that on entering into society we give up any natural right." -- Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President

American Minute with Bill Federer
MAY 27 - 'There can be no peace with the forces of evil.'-Calvin Coolidge, Memorial Day 
Invite Bill Federer for a speaking enagagement click here

"There can be no peace with the forces of evil. Peace comes only through the establishment of the supremacy of the forces of good.  

That way lies through sacrifice...'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends,'"  

- stated President Calvin Coolidge is 1923 Memorial Address   

 

Beginning in 1921, the sacrifice of America's military has been recognized by the President laying a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,  which is inscribed:   

HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD"  
 
 The Tomb is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  

The number 21 being the highest salute, the sentry takes 21 steps, faces the tomb for 21 seconds, turns and pauses 21 seconds, then retraces his steps.  

 

Memorial Day began at the end of the Civil War when Southern women scattered spring flowers on the graves of both the Northern and Southern soldiers.

 

In 1868, Memorial Day was set on MAY 30.

In 1968, it was moved to the LAST MONDAY IN MAY.  

 

From the Spanish-American War, to World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, War against Islamic Terror, up through the present, all who gave their lives to preserve America's freedom are honored on Memorial Day.  

 

On MAY 30, 1917, in an address before the Grand Army of the Republic at Arlington Cemetery, President Woodrow Wilson stated:  

"There are times when words seem empty and only actions seem great. Such a time has come, and in the providence of God, America will once more have an opportunity to show the world that she was born to serve mankind."  

 

On MAY 30, 1919, in a Memorial Day Address delivered among the graves of American soldiers in Suresnes Cemetery, near Paris, France, President Woodrow Wilson stated:  

"It is delightful to learn from those who saw these men fight, and saw them waiting in the trenches for the summons for the fight, that they had a touch of the high spirit of religion....We all believe, I hope, that the spirits of these men are not buried with their bones. Their spirits live!"  

 

On MAY 30, 1922, dedicating the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C., President Warren G. Harding stated:  

"In every moment of peril...there is the image of Lincoln to rivet our hopes and to renew our faith....

He treasured the inheritance handed down by the founding fathers, the Ark of the Covenant wrought through their heroic sacrifices....  

Lincoln came almost as humbly as The Child of Bethlehem. His parents were unlettered, his home was devoid of every element of culture and refinement.  

He was no infant prodigy, no luxury facilitated or privilege hastened his development, but he had a God-given intellect, a love for work, a willingness to labor and a purpose to succeed."  

 

On MAY 30, 1923, in his Memorial Day Address at Arlington National Cemetery, President Warren G. Harding stated:  

"I believe it a God-given duty to give of our influence to establish the ways of peace throughout the world....In all the wars of all time the conscienceless profiteer has put the black blot of greed upon the righteous sacrifice and highly purposed conflict....  

God grant that no conflict will come again, but if it does it shall be without profit to the noncombatant participants except as they share in the triumphs of the nation."  

 

On MAY 30, 1925, at the Memorial Day Ceremony, Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D.C., President Calvin Coolidge stated:  

"The leaders of the Nation have been supported by a deep devotion to the essentials of freedom. At the bottom of the national character has been a strain of religious earnestness and moral determination which has never failed to give color and quality to our institutions."

On MAY 30, 1931, in an address at Valley Forge, President Herbert Hoover stated:  

 

"If those few thousand men endured that long winter of privation and suffering, humiliated by the despair of their countrymen, and deprived of support save their own indomitable will, yet held their countrymen to the faith, and by that holding held fast the freedom of America, what right have we to be of little faith?"  

 

On MAY 30, 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt stated at Gettysburg:  

"On these hills of Gettysburg two brave armies of Americans once met in contest.  

Not far from here, in a valley likewise consecrated to American valor, a ragged Continental Army survived a bitter winter to keep alive the expiring hope of a new Nation...  

Surely, all this is holy ground."
