America has always counted on the decency and morality of its people to preserve our values, our Constitution, and our moral institutions. Sinister forces are now at work from within our own borders. They would restrict our rights of public worship, undermine our family values, alter the institution of marriage and replace virtue with vice at every turn.
They are an organized and well-funded minority. They use the courts and the legal system to their advantage. They are effectively making changes in the foundation of our government — our Constitution. The Constitutional Freedom Foundation is calling upon you to help assure the preservation of our American way of life for future generations.
It is in the courts where decisions that have long-reaching impact for our people are made. The front line may be in our families, churches and civic organizations, but the final stand is in the courts. The Constitutional Freedom Foundation has been formed to be a voice of morality, family values and responsibility in the courts.
When the well-funded ACLU goes to court to stop people from praying in public or to remove religious symbols from public spaces, we want to challenge their efforts in court.
We publish a series of Constitutional Primers and scholarly articles to reacquaint Americans with their constitutional roots and the principles upon which our republic was founded.
We believe in interpreting the Constitution as its framers intended — not as a document to be reshaped by judicial activism or political expediency.
Professor Lewis is the author of the Constitutional Primers series — a comprehensive educational series designed to reacquaint Americans with their constitutional roots. His work covers constitutional history, federalism, the meaning of liberty, virtue and morality, judicial interpretation, and the rights of citizens. He serves as the primary scholarly voice of the Constitutional Freedom Foundation.
As Chairman of the Constitutional Freedom Foundation, George B. Brunt has provided the organizational leadership and vision that has guided the Foundation's mission. In his forward to the Constitutional Primers series, he emphasizes that the Foundation's goal is to educate the populace about the context in which the Constitution was adopted and the importance of both virtue and religion in maintaining the freedoms and liberties we now enjoy.
The Constitutional Convention of 1787 produced the most enduring framework for human liberty ever devised. The Founders understood that freedom without virtue was unsustainable — and that religion was the guardian of that virtue.
Our work is to carry their vision forward — to educate, to defend, and to preserve the constitutional principles that have made America the freest nation in human history.
