"Cynicism and defeatism are NOT options to be entertained.
We are in the eleventh hour of losing this Nation..."
A Nation At Risk...
Her foundations are cracking. The principles that made her great have become corrupted. Our character has become tarnished and our moral fiber is corroded. We are in turmoil from incessant fighting. We have become a nation where everyone is a minority striving for “special interest.” There is no “common sense.” But our enemy is not from without, our enemy is within us. There is a “civil war” raging in the hearts and minds of Americans. Can we survive? Can America
Yes! However, we must take counsel from what was declared to our founding fathers by Benjamin Franklin: “If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?” He further declared: “We have been assured, in the Sacred Writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.”
Freedoms... Prosperity... Peace...

Freedoms... Prosperity... Peace...
What is the United States Constitution? What are Natural Laws? What are the powers given or rights assured by these? How can we restore our Republic to our founders’ intent?
Mission Statement...
"Enduring Freedoms" is dedicated to answering these questions one person at a time, one family at a time, one community at a time, within the environs of each County.
Through Leadership and Schooling we will cure the plague of apathy, disillusionment, and frustration confronting the sovereign populace.
From Albert Einstein:"Those who have the privilege to know have a duty to act, dedicating time and energy, to education and participation."
Therefore, "Enduring Freedoms" is pressing forward to empower “We the People” through a commitment to rebuilding community, supporting viable education and encouraging civic virtue to promote liberty, prosperity, and peace.
There are many Americans looking upon the United States Constitution seeing in it an outdated governmental system, whose inadequacies are the cause of our modern problems. Many continue believing this not knowing the depth of thought and understanding of human nature that went into the establishment of this great Republic. "This to shall change."
People feel powerless to exact change, because of this there is compromise and silence, which are caused by ignorance. Breaking the yokes of ignorance and apathy, "Enduring Freedoms" is dedicated to liberty, prosperity, and peace; educating on the foundations of freedom and sovereignty.
Responsibility... (know the law)
The sharing of ideas are tantamount to the success on any endeavor... each of us have elected to undertake a great responsibility, that being, the assistance in bringing about the freedoms we all cherish (which has over the last 50 to 100 years has eroded to near anarchy)... Thank God... We have been given the opportunity to change all this in the person of the Ron Paul Revolution... May none of us shirk our responsibility to this great movement, for the benefit of all the State Sovereigns of this great Republic... May our efforts be Blessed as we move forward as partners to attain the one true goal of restoring Constitutional Governance...
Power of the Sheriff... (states rights)
The office of sheriff is a unique and special Constitutional office. It is a part of the Check and Balance System. When a man becomes a 'sheriff', he takes on the special responsibility of preserving and protecting the rights, liberties, and freedoms of the people within his county against unlawful acts, including any unlawful act committed by public officials working in the government. He has a direct obligation toward the people living within his county. For over 200 years, the office of sheriff in the United States has been an office that is controlled by the people through the election process. He is elected as their choice to take hold as the chief law enforcement officer in the county. The people place great trust in him to provide protection for themselves against unlawful acts of all kinds, including usurpation and sedition. This also includes illegal acts by agencies of government. He takes an oath to uphold, preserve, and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State in which his county exists. There is no lawful authority for judges or a court to direct the law enforcement activities of a county sheriff. He is not part of the judicial system. He holds executive power. He can set up a court, empanel a jury, and can even try judges or federal officials who violate the law. (10th amendment) The sheriff, the last vestige of local control of government by the people, is being engineered to fall under the consolidated power of the federal government for military operation of the United States under international soviet like management. Only an informed population will prevent it from happening!
Supporting Parental Judgment... (schooling our youth)
Carl Schurz, the German immigrant, said upon seeing America for the first time in 1848, "Here you can see how slightly a people needs to be governed." What it will take to break collectively out of this trap is a change in the nature of forced schooling, one which alters the balance of power between societies and systems in favor of societies again. We need once more to debate angrily the purpose (?) of public education. The power of elites to set the agenda for public schooling has to be challenged, an agenda which includes totalitarian labeling of the ordinary population, unwarranted official prerogatives, and near total control of work. Until such a change happens, we need to individually withhold excessive allegiance from any and all forms of abstract, remotely displaced, political and economic leadership; we need to trust ourselves and our children to remake the future locally, demand that intellectual and character development once again be the mission of schools; we need to smash the government monopoly over the upbringing of our young by forcing it to compete for funds whose commitments should rest largely on the judgment of parents and local associations. Where argument, court action, foot-dragging, and polite subversion can’t derail this judgment, then we must find the courage to be saboteurs, as the maquis did in occupied France during WWII.
