Freedom at risk is more than a name for this website. The name was chosen because of the perilous times America is facing. Our country’s freedom is under attack by those elected to protect her Constitution and values. Those extremist who are attempting change are destroying the very foundations laid by our forefathers.

The Town Hall meetings, Freedom Concert Tours, and other organized or dis-organized efforts are working to get the attention of our elected officials. Sad to say, it is also getting the attention of those who would like to silence those who are boldly standing up to our government and saying “no” to their outrageous spending, Health-Care reform, the taking over of the auto industry, banking, and numerous other institutions. Government was never meant to run America. The American people are the ones who should be running companies and investing their money to build and employ people…we are a capitalist nation. A nation that allows Americans to dream and then make those dreams come true through hard work and investing their money to build companies and mom and pop businesses. We don’t live in a nation where the government decides what we will and will not accomplish.The elected officials are sent to Washington, D.C. to represent their constituents…to uphold the Constitution. There duties are defined and yet they have taken it upon themselves to change the rules and are leading the country down a dangerous path to socialism. A path where the people’s voices will not be heard and Big Government will make decisions and then place those ideologies upon the backs of the American people.

It’s time to stand up and be counted among those who say “no” to Big Government. Say “no” to Universal Health Care. Say “no” to Industry Take Over. And, say “no” to Socialism. America is the greatest nation on earth and has stood for over 200 years as the world’s idea of democracy. Our country, our people, our very existence is counting on our coming to her rescue. The “silent” majority has been awakened and there is no stopping what she can do when faced with fighting for America’s freedom.

Get involved in this fight for freedom whether it’s through joining a Tea Party group in your area (if you don’t have one – start one), attending Town Hall Meetings, writing and calling your senators, congressmen, and representatives, start a blog, talk with your friends and family. Vote those out of office that would dare take away your freedom. Voting is not only a freedom many in our world don’t have but it’s a requirement for those who would stand up and defend the people’s right to freedom. Take time to find out where you can fit in and then make your voice heard. To win this war on our freedom takes one person at a time making a difference until we become a roar heard all the way to Washington, D.C.

Remember to support our troops. Pray for their safety daily – and, remember to pray for their families. Let them know you appreciate the sacrifices they are making in protecting our freedom and the freedom of those around the world. Our military should be our heroes. Get involved in adopting a soldier, send a card, a care package, donate to organizations that support our troops and their families. Fly the U.S. flag proudly – not just on holidays but everyday. Let everyone know you are a patriotic American and you love your country.

And, don’t forget to pray for America. Pray for our president and those in our government. Pray they will have wisdom and make wise decisions. Pray about the bills pending. Pray for yourself and your family and friends. Pray that God will hear His people and heal their land. That He will bring revival to America and bless her people in mighty ways.

Freedom is not free. It never has been. It never will be. It takes the people of this mighty nation staying vigilant and ready to take a stand to defend those freedoms. It take courageous men, women, and children to say “no” to those who would try and dismantle the United States of America. Don’t let it happen on our watch!

Parents, it’s never too early or too late to start your children on the track to learning about our government. This site is written for Kindergarten-2nd Grade; 3rd-5th Grade; 6th-8th Grade; and 9th-12th Grade. Plus a section just for parents and teachers. This site is an invaluable tool in learning about the government, the way it functions, and having a great time while learning. It just might help some of us “older” adults remember what we may have forgotten.

I highly recommend this site to teachers as a resource tool  in the public, private, and home school environment. The site would be great for students working on-line to increase their knowledge of history and civics.
