Read the Constitution Day today.

If there is one thing besides the bible, that you shouldn’t put off reading, I STRONGLY suggest to take advantage of today to read our Constitution.
On April 15, 2009, people across this great Nation participated in Tea Parties,not because they were Democrats or Republicans, but because they believe in the Consitituion and the principles that our Founding Fathers had laid down.

A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both, and deserve neither.-Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Madison

There is no excuse not to read the Constitution. It was written,FOR the people, by the People, about the People.

This is not a right or left…it’s a Constitution thing.

You can even get FREE copies of the Constitution for your home or your purse or bag simply by going to the Heritage Foundation or to read it today for you and your kids, you can read it online.

Updated 4/20/09-You can print a free copy of the Constitution.  A handy, 6 page version can be found here:

If there is one thing you can do for yourself and your kids, take the time today to read the Consitutition today and remember what it was meant by the Preamble:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Hey…there’s even a group for Homeschoolers to talk to called, “The Conservative Homeschooler”.


Visit The Conservative Homeschooler

One of the members there, wrote a great letter that emphasize the importance why, it doesn’t matter who we are, the importance of getting involved.


As a homeschooling mom, I am very concerned about my children’s future and the future of my country.

In this country, we have had freedom, family unity, faith, values and principles. Our country was founded on these valuable things and from them, our country became great.

Our country has slowly been drawn away from these values though. Prosperity has made our lives easy and instead of remembering where our blessings originate from, we have turned to our selves and man.

So, our prosperity has been abused and now our once great country, founded upon values and principles, has forsaken them and turned in, upon itself!

Neighbor against their neighbors, parties against parties, family members against family members.

We have been divided and divided we will fall.
As mothers and homeschoolers, I believe, it is our call and our duty to unit, no matter our religion, political party, background, or whatever divides us, and go in to the fight for the freedom of our country, our faith, and our family!

We MUST live by the values and principles of our founding Fathers and apply them to our daily lives.

We must educate ourselves about history, to make sure we know who we are and what our country stood for.
Why should we, mothers be involved?
Because We are the center of the home!
Because We are the teachers of our children (the next generation)!
Because the future of our country depends upon us.
If we do not educate ourselves about the founding of this country, the principles and values it is based upon, how will we be able to educate our children to be the next generation of leaders, parents, teachers, and businessmen, etc?

How will they be able to live and thrive and raise their children (on values and principles) in a free country?
There are so many things happening in our lives and in our country right now.

As the gatekeepers of our home, the “watch-women” in the watch towers of our castles, how will we meet what is approaching us?

How will we be prepared?
I pray that You pray about these things everyday!

I pray that you become involved, that you are concerned enough, and viligent, and strong enough, to take a stand, for Your Family, Faith and Freedom!

After all, are you not homeschooling for this very reason?
God bless you in your High-calling as a mother!

Here are some places for you to join and become involved!

What a fantastic letter and one that strikes to the core…so if anything else, if, just for starters….Get a copy of the Constitution and read about it and share about it to your kids.
