A
Letter from the Founder...
DEAR
SONS and DAUGHTERS of LIBERTY,
As
I hear and read about the inspiration of the current Tea
Party Movement, I am impressed with the fact that we need more authoritative
education with precise tools for evaluating our present national political status
and gauging the performance of our servants in government. Thankfully the Founding
Fathers left us a Legacy
in our Constitution and Volumes of Primary Source Documents proving their Original
Intent to establish our Unique American Constitutional Republic, providing
their best plans for our future liberty, peace and prosperity.
The movement is already awakening to these principles, which have only
seemed hidden because the country was headed in the wrong direction for so
long. Thankfully, they are not mysterious, nor difficult to grasp.
The
Twelve Principles presented here as The Tea Party Manifesto
VOLUME I are derived from the source text [The
AMERICAN IDEAL of 1776] that I have studied and expounded for more than
ten years at Lexrex.com and in various print and online articles. As the Movement
grows it also becomes more and more important to have tools for measuring the
value of those new "Sunshine Patriots" who will inevitably appear, seeking
power and influence and trying to carve out their own territory within the movement
- for all the wrong reasons. This work is offered as a thorough means for measuring
their qualifications. It is not a New Deal or a Contract with America. You can
Reinvent Government - but you cannot Reinvent Liberty.
True
Patriot Scholars have recognized for a long time that the old maxim "If it's
new, it's probably not true, and if it's true it's probably not new," proves
itself in every generation. You and I can stand on the shoulders of the Patriots
of all ages; those who loved their true heritage; their country, and the Rule
of Law - and those who agree with these words of Jefferson:
"With all
[our] blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?
Still one thing more, fellow citizens--a wise and frugal Government, which shall
restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate
their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth
of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this
is necessary to close the circle of our felicities." --Thomas
Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:320
Thank
you for your interest in preserving our Republic, and changing the course of American
politics.
William
