AMERICA
Our founders created an America that
became the most successful and prosperous nation on earth by building it on a
strong foundation. This foundation was
Faith, Family and Flag (Country). Faith
in God, their Creator, who gave them certain unalienable Rights, including, but
not limited to, Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Traditional families made up of a married
man & woman, and children, that took care of each other in time of need.
The forging of a Government whose only purposes were to establish justice,
ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote (not
provide) the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to all -- nothing
more and nothing less. That is
how the founders of America intended it to be.
And for good reason -- it
worked. This is the America we seek to
honor.
There have
been some shameful issues and periods in our history, some of which still
linger on today. The treatment of
American Indians, blacks and other minorities; slavery, and unequal
rights. America is a great nation,
where great people, against all odds and opposition, can and do make great
strides in righting these wrongs. People
like Dr. Martin Luther King, Susan B. Anthony, and Abraham Lincoln, to name a
few. These people make up the America
we seek to honor.
In many countries, Government plays
"nanny" to every citizen from cradle to grave. Americans stand on their own two feet, attend
their churches, support their families, and turn to them in time of need. They do not look to government to solve all
of their problems. Americans take
responsibility for themselves and their communities. They do not claim to be victims of some unfortunate part of their
lives, which in some way should relieve them from all responsibility for their
actions. This is the America we seek to
honor.
AMERICA tries to free its citizens,
business and industry from excessive regulation, privatizes many government
services, and transfers much of the authority and responsibility for social
welfare and education to its churches, families and communities where they
belong. This is the America we seek to
honor.
Many great things have been done to
educate the next generation of leaders.
Americans know that government can’t solve all issues relating to
business, education, health care, the environment and an array of other matters
needing little, if any, federal intervention or regulation. History has shown that great people solve
great problems, not governments. This
is the America we seek to honor.
The Flags of Freedom Foundation, Inc., and the Freedom Field Project will reach out to educate people of all ages. For it is education that has the power to mold one’s mind -- not laws and regulations.
Our purpose is to cultivate in the largest possible number of our citizens an appreciation of both the responsibilities and the benefits which come to them because they are Americans.........and are free.
