A call to arms for all American citizens to get active and to rescue our Republic from its dangerous drift away from our founding principles of small, limited government; individual liberties; personal responsibilities. From the pamphlet:
"In the era of our War of Independence, governments, said the Conservatives of the time—those monarchists, forerunners of today's Big Government Progressive disciples—exist first and above the people, and the rights of the people are those granted by these governments.
"The time's Liberals, though—the men and women of our War, of our Founding, and of our earlier history—had a different view. A man, they held, has rights that are indivisible from him because they are inherent in his humanity, in his very existence, as endowments from his Creator. Government, they held, exists to protect these rights and for no other purpose."
And
"The blows we struck in 2010 were a worthy start, but they were only a start. The progress we added in 2012 has been inadequate to our cause. But we are not finished. Wisdom is not the purchase of a day."
