where it was meant to be...

Our country's founding was based upon the belief it was to serve the well being of individuals

We cannot have truth without Justice!
Justice is on its way.....

Some say are Constitution is outdated. What I believe is we need to find the balance in each and every situation.

As I sit here writing this I realize that people may be giving up on government and the fact that we could make our government what it was designed to be. I guess I should be saying our country instead of our government. But the reality is there are people that haven't given up and I believe .... Now you fill in the rest!

1620 — The Mayflower Landing
The Pilgrims arrived in the New World and drafted the Mayflower Compact, a short social covenant establishing self-government by mutual agreement. It became the earliest seed of American democratic practice.
1639 — The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut
Often called the first written constitution in America, these orders created a structured government with elected representatives, laying groundwork for constitutional governance.
1765–1775 — The Colonial Resistance & First Continental Congress
Growing disputes with Britain—particularly over taxation and representation—gave rise to declarations, petitions, and unified colonial action, culminating in the First Continental Congress.
1776 — The Declaration of Independence
Drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson, this document announced the colonies’ separation from Britain and articulated universal principles of natural rights and self-government.
1777–1781 — The Articles of Confederation
America’s first national framework created a loose union of states. While it supported independence through the Revolutionary War, its weaknesses revealed the need for a stronger central government.
1787 — The United States Constitution
Delegates convened in Philadelphia to establish a new and enduring system of government with separate branches, checks and balances, and a federal structure. It remains the supreme law of the land.
1789 — The Bill of Rights
The first ten amendments ensured protections for individual liberties such as freedom of speech, religion, due process, and the right to bear arms. These rights became central to American identity.
1863 — The Emancipation Proclamation
Issued by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, this executive order declared freedom for enslaved people in the Confederate states and transformed the war into a fight for human liberty. It paved the way for the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery nationwide.

Absolutely—our government is worth defending, because at its core it is built on a framework designed to protect the individual, limit the power of the state, and give every citizen a voice in shaping the nation’s future. No system is perfect, but ours is unique in that it allows peaceful correction through elections, courts, constitutional amendments, and public participation rather than through force. The structure created by our Founders—separation of powers, checks and balances, and guaranteed rights—was crafted specifically so that no single person or group could dominate the rest. Generations of Americans have improved and expanded those freedoms, proving the system is strongest when people engage with it rather than abandon it. Defending our government means defending the liberties, opportunities, and protections that millions rely on every day—and preserving a nation where personal freedom still outweighs governmental power.
