WE AS AMERICANS BY THE MERCY AND GRACE OF GOD HAVE BUILT AN AMERICA THAT HAS BEEN THE BEACON OF LIGHT FOR FREEDOM AROUND THIS WORLD, BUT WE HAVE FORGOTTEN, THAT APART FROM MORALITY, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TRUE FREEDOM, AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT GOD, WHO IS SLOW TO ANGER, WILL JUDGE AMERICA IF WE ARE NOT NATIONALLY LED TO REPENTANCE: LIKE INDIVIDUALS, NATIONS MUST REPENT, IN ORDER TO RECEIVE AGAIN THE BLESSINGS OF GOD: WE NEED TO RAISE UP A NATIONAL LEADER LIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN WHO PROCLAIMED A NATIONAL DAY OF HUMILIATION, PRAYER, AND FASTING, ON APRIL 30TH, 1863, WHICH TURNED HIS TWO YEARS OF BATTLES LOSSES INTO TWO YEARS OF VICTORY TO EVENTUALLY FREE THE SLAVES. LET US AS AMERICANS PRAY FOR LEADERS ACROSS THIS LAND ESPECIALLY A PRESIDENT FOR 2024 ELECTION, WHO WILL PUT US AGAIN UNDER GOD’S LAWS OF FREEDOM, AND LEAD A WILLING AMERICA TO A NATIONAL DAY OF HUMILIATION, FASTING, AND PRAYER, THAT OUR FAMILIES, EDUCATION SYSTEM, AND POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS WILL AGAIN PUT THEMSELVES UNDER GOD’S LAWS OF FREEDOM & HAPPINE, AS A RESULT HAVE PEACE WITH GOD, AND THE JOY IT WILL BRING. HOW IS IT AS AMERICANS OF 2024 WE HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT OUR CONSTITUTION WAS NEVER WRITTEN FOR AN IMMORAL PEOPLE, AND NOT LOOKED AGAIN TO OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WHO IN UNISON KNEW THE IMPORTANCE OF MORALITY FOR THE SURVIVAL OF OUR COUNTRY. 1 This constitution is written for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.John Adams. 2. No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders. 3. Religion and morality are the indispensable supports to good government. George Washington. 4. If the people lack the virtue of self government their destiny will be despotism. James Madison
5. Man will either be governed by the Bible or the bayonet. John Adams
6. JAMES MADISON WHO IS SAID TO BE THE FATHER OF OUR CONSTITUTION WROTE THE FOLLOWING ABOUT US AS AMERICANS NECESSITY OF BEING A SELF GOVERNING AND SELF RELIANT PEOPLE. “We have staked the future of our civilization and all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and everyone of us to govern ourselves; to control ourselves; to sustain ourselves according to the 10 Commandments of God"
James Madison
7. DR. JEDIDIAH MORSE:Father of American GeographyTo the kindly influence we owe that degree of civil freedom and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys. In proportion as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in a nation...in the same proportion will thepeople of that nation recedefrom the blessings of genuine freedom...I hold this to be truth confirmed by experience; and it follows that all efforts made todestroy the foundation of our Holy Religion ultimately tend to the subversion also of our political freedom and happiness. Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown our present republican forms of government( and all the blessings which flow from them) must fall with them.

8. Let [ministers] and philosophers, statesmen, and patriots unite their endeavors to renovate the age by impressing the minds of men with the importance of educating their little boys and girls—inculcating in the minds of the youth—the love of their country; of instructing them in the art of self government — and in short leading them in the study and practice of the exalted virtues of the Christian system.
9. Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.
Benjamin Rush
