This website is created in gratitude for those who came before us, for teaching and passing on to us the principles of liberty. The principles in our founding documents protect our freedoms.  It is our civic duty and privilege to pass on these precious gifts to the next generation. These principles and protections don’t come automatically. Their value must be taught even though we are accustomed to reaping their benefits.  We must understand how these documents protect our liberty. Benjamin Franklin stated, “It is in the realm of ignorance that tyranny begins.
