A Message From America’s Future
America’s founding documents – the Declaration of
Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights – are
the cornerstones of what makes our nation like no other in
human history. Each document has a stated purpose –
Preamble – expressly written that recognized the truth that
we are all created equal, that we have God-given, inalienable
rights as humans, and that the primary reason for the
existence of government is to protect the rights of the
people. The Preambles – set apart on the next page of this
book – are the crux of the vision of our Founding Fathers
and express the spirit that citizens hold the power above
government. There is no greater base of information for
Americans to study and understand than these documents
as the very survival of this nation depends on citizen
knowledge, participation, and involvement…just as it did
centuries ago.
America’s Future is committed to educating our fellow
citizens about how these founding documents guided the
creation of a new nation and continue to shape our daily
lives. As a national leader in the fight to preserve American
values, our individual rights, and protect our Constitutional
Republic form of government, it is our privilege to offer this
book as a resource of information to you. Please share it
with your family and wider network of friends, colleagues,
and organizations.
Join us in pledging to be courageous and fearless in the fight
for everlasting freedom in America.
