Tenth Amendment Center: Rights are not gifts from government

 

It’s not really “liberty” if it requires a government permission slip.

This view is almost totally lost among the general public today - but it was common among the founders and old revolutionaries. Thomas Jefferson may have summed it up best:


“A free people claim their rights, as derived from the laws of nature, and not as a gift from their chief magistrate.”


This “natural rights” view is the foundation for all the rest. And getting the foundation right is essential for getting the solution right too - that is, going from where we are today to a real “land of the free.”


That’s why we focus so much time and energy on teaching people about these foundational principles from the American Revolution.


There’s absolutely nothing that helps us roll up our sleeves every single day to reach and teach more and more people - more than the financial faith and support of our members.


We are proud to have you as part of our community, and we humbly ask for your financial support in our mission to protect and defend the Constitution and liberty - whether the government likes it, or not.  (they don’t)


You can join as a member for as little as 2 bucks/month - there are also annual, 5-year and lifetime options here:

As we approach our 18 year anniversary later this month - we couldn’t be more grateful for any consideration you can give to joining and supporting the TAC today.


With your help, we can continue to push back against the forces that continuously work to destroy the constitution and liberty.


As Jefferson put it: “The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches. We must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time, and eternally press forward for what is yet to get.”


THANK YOU FOR READING AND YOUR SUPPORT!
