In less than a week, Americans have a date of remembrance to consider, which represents an historic day of indelible significance to the formulation of this nation. April 19 is traditionally the day to honor American heroes who stood their ground on April 19, 1775, against troops of the most formidle nation on the planet of the time. April 19 has been designated Patriots' Day to commemorate the battles of Lexington and Concord, which plunged normal men and women seeking Freedom into a prolonged war against Great Britain (their own country). The famous ‘shot heard round the world” was fired on that fateful day and represents the beginning of the end of the British Empire’s aggressive tyranny over the American people.
This day demonstrates dramatic events in history that should not be easily forgotten or lost in the cobwebs of our collective conscience. The events of this day represent momentous events, in which brave boys and men drew a “proverbial line in the sand” and chose to no longer accept
British bullying and domineering ways enforced by a government in which they had no say. Thus the concept: “No taxation without representation.” It was more than a slogan. It was more than a Rallying cry. It reflected a stance taken by other brave men echoing through time from the days of the Magna Carta. It is a stance reverberating from the past into and through a contemporary grassroots movement known as the Tea Party.
The events of April 19, 1775, represent ordinary citizens moving from caves of ignorance and fear and from their comfort zones to the courage to stand for what they truly believed in. This we know because they were willing to die for what they truly held as true from deep within. A little over a year after this day, other men, brilliant men, supported those striving for Freedom at the risk of their lives by affirming the dramatic struggle in Massachusetts. They officially voted to go the distance and declare independence from the tyranny of their own government. Most of them who voted for and then signed the Declaration of Independence knew that theirs was an act that would likely be hazardous to their health – they were risking their lives. It represented an equally brave stand for Freedom.
The birthday of the man who wrote the initial draft of the Declaration of Independence is today. And in honoring this man, the Coalition for a Principled Republic is offering an article on Thomas Jefferson in relation to his contribution to the fight for Freedom. He provided an intellectual and inspirational framework for such a fight in such a time – as Thomas Paine wrote:“a time that tries men’s souls.”
Today is also such a time, as has been written. As I wrote in the last CPR edition, “...it is a time that Almighty God is working through those who will permit Him to work through them for the sake of the advance of goodness.” And, it is fitting that our main article today is from a person who is allowing God to work through him to create a new patriot organization. In the Citizen Voice on Tuesday, the first featured message today was the “Red State Manifesto,” written by Dr. Richard Moss in 2021. It represents a practical foundation for the new organization he has created called Front Line Freedom 1776. Our first article today is from Dr. Moss, who explains in the introduction the intent and purpose behind founding such an organization. He provides a sound and substantial reasoning for the development of such an organization. Also included is the Mission Statement and a Statement of Principles and Beliefs for Front Line Freedom efforts.
The intent behind the posting of some of the foundational documents for Front Line Freedom is not so much as a call for Americans outside of Indiana to join up, but to consider the duplication of such an effort in their counties or states where there is grave need. Pockets of patriots are popping up all across the nation, as they should be as the threats to Freedom are evident nearly everywhere across the nation. What Dr. Richard Moss and the patriots of Indiana are doing has been happening for some time in several areas all over America. The Coalition for a Principled Republic will continue to support those who are awake, those who arise, and who take genuine responsibility for making a positive and substantial difference in the promotion of Freedom. “We the People” need to become “We” again in such a time as this.
Patriots must awaken, must arise, and must align themselves with the Will of God to positively pursue goodness and the advancement of personal and public virtue. This newsletter is only one way to promote the ideals, principles, and values that support freedom and the individual rights given to humanity by God. The CPR strives to support those who promote Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of personal and public virtue in this nation and throughout the world. Those organizations that are putting into practice those ideals are to be commended. The CPR Lifeline Advisory will continue to serve as a communications channel for the current fight for Freedom.
The third message today is from one of our long time connected Citizen Sentinels Network of writers, Michael Lewinski. He was one of the founding members of the Coalition for a Principled Republic, and is an individual member, though he has been an active leader in the Tea Party of Indiana fro quite some time. He is not only a writer, but a political activist as well.
The original words of guidance from Heavenly Father in establishing CPR were to reestablish covenant with Him, to establish and continually enhance lines of communication with Him and one another, and to establish community in the process of working together on projects worthy of investment. “The intent was also to stimulate and support leadership and activism aimed at exercising those God-given rights to be able to retain our Constitutional Republic and to restore America as “One Nation Under God.”
The Coalition for a Principled Republic exists as a grassroots alliance, or confederation, of organizations connected via common lines of communication and shared information and focused on promoting cooperative action on vital projects deemed compatible to organizations that seek to retain a Republic rooted in the shared ideals, principles, and values of our Judeo- Christian heritage. We actively seek alliances, so if readers belong to like-minded organizations, we request consideration as affiliated or partnered arrangements to work together. Divided the Republic could falter; but United, the “We the People” will stand!
Front Line Freedom 1776
By Richard Moss, MD
April, 2023
Front Line Freedom 1776 is being formed with the safety and security of our children and
grandchildren in mind. Can you imagine what this place is going to look like if concerned patriots do not take control of the future of our community, state, and country?
You have been selected to be in this group as a person who is a like-minded patriot who may have helped me out in the past with one or more of my political campaigns and/or attended a rally, but also as someone who can help mold our group and focus on issues and policies that will preserve our way of life and provide a safe, vibrant community to live in and raise our families.
Our local, grassroots movement began when we held an impromptu anti-mask rally at the Dubois County Courthouse in September of 2021. From there, we fought successfully to end the mask mandate in our schools and city government buildings, by showing up and voicing our opposition at school board and local government meetings.
We fought against the lockdowns and school closures, which accomplished nothing other than to bring hardship and suffering, and at great cost. Yet the tyranny continues. The federal government and many state and local governments, schools, colleges, and businesses continue to impose mask and vaccine mandates. Our own national guard in Indiana, patriots serving their state and country, are forced to undergo vaccinations with a dangerous bioweapon made in China that has negative efficacy, damages our immune systems, and causes severe, even deadly complications.
Many in government and business, including here in Indiana, enjoyed their new found power. They will use the next "emergency" as an excuse to wield their power to take away our God-given, constitutional rights again. We want to prepare ourselves for further pretexts the government will exploit to steal our liberty. Join me and Frontline Freedom, a new grassroots organization defending liberty, for our next meeting. Let us establish ourselves locally, at the town and county level, working with local law enforcement and others, within government and without, so that we may protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our community against tyranny.
I have taken the liberty of laying out a charter, a founding document for our organization, which I will share with you below. It is a statement of mission, principles, and beliefs. I've included them in line so you would not have to open an attachment.
Please have a look.
Frontline Freedom
Mission Statement:
Frontline Freedom is an organization committed to protecting and defending the principles and
practices of the American Revolution, our Constitutional Republic, and Western and American Civilization based as they are on individual liberty, God-given inalienable rights, the rule of law, limited government, free markets, free expression, our customs, culture, and history, and the Judeo-Christian moral tradition.
Preamble:
The heritage of liberty is long, if not eternal. Its origins resonate deeply in our past. In Genesis, we learn that we are created in the image of God. This is our lodestar, the source of our modern concept of liberty. The practice and understanding of individual liberty evolved over time and reached its apex in our own founding documents. It is to the principles embodied in our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights that we commit ourselves to protecting and defending. In the words of our founders, “with a firm reliance on divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”
“So, God created man in his own image…” Genesis 1:27
“…Since, moreover, for God and the amendment of our kingdom… we have granted all these concessions, desirous that they should enjoy them in complete and firm endurance forever…” Magna Carta, Clause 61
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
The Declaration of Independence
“…it will not possess the confidence of the people, and its schemes of usurpation will be easily defeated by the State governments, who will be supported by the people…” Federalist Paper 46
“… in order to form a more perfect union, establish Justice … and secure the Blessings of Liberty…”
Preamble, Constitution of the United States
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Amendment I, Constitution of the United States
“A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Amendment II, Constitution of the United States
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Amendment X, Constitution of the United States
Statement of Principles and Beliefs:
Members of Frontline Freedom take an oath to work with their county sheriff, local police department, elected and other officials, other like-minded organizations, institutions, and individuals, and each other, to:
Protect and defend the Constitution from threats both foreign and domestic.
Protect and defend life, liberty, and our God-given, natural rights.
Protect and defend the American Republic and its form of government.
Protect and defend the founding of our great nation, its founding documents and principles.
Protect and defend the Bill of Rights in its entirety.
Protect and defend the individual, family, traditional values, faith, houses of worship, civic organizations, the civil society, local businesses, and localism in general, which undergird the nation.
Protect and defend private and public property.
Protect and defend the principle that America is founded on the individual, and individual God-given rights, not Marxist identity groups based on race, sex, sexual orientation, sexual identity, ethnicity, national origin, or other.
Protect and defend against all forms of tyranny and censorship.
Protect and defend against medical fascism and all forms of tyranny and censorship.
Protect, defend, and disseminate the truth in our home and in public, in schools, colleges, faith communities, libraries, businesses, place of work, the media, social media, and other forums.
Educate ourselves and others in support of truth, wisdom, beauty, and goodness.
Be knowledgeable of the critical matters of the day and respond to them based on Biblical and traditional values, historical knowledge, proper analysis, interpretation of data, and practical, common sense.
Support local law enforcement, work with them, and oppose “defund the police” and other anti-law enforcement assaults, except where such becomes an arm of tyranny and censorship.
Communicate with elected and other representatives and officials and demand they uphold their oaths of office.
Be active at all levels of government, local, state, and federal. Influence and pressure representatives to support legislation and policies that protect, defend, and expand liberty and our God-given rights.
Seek elected and other government offices and/or promote candidates, officials, and representatives who hold our views.
Challenge, expose, and abolish all radical, anti-American, Marxist jargon, phrases, theories, and ideologies, such as “Critical Race Theory,” “Social Justice,” “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion,” and others. Anticipate and respond vigorously and proactively to issues, challenges, and attacks in varied and sustained fashion.
Challenge, confront, and defeat the ruling Marxist, fascist, bureaucratic, technocratic, globalist, “woke” regime wherever we encounter it.
Participate in “Frontline Freedom,” through regular meetings, planning sessions, calls to action, rallies, protests, mutual aid and defense, assistance during emergencies, disturbances, unrest, and natural disasters, networking, newsletters, email updates, social media, and sharing of information. Mobilize, expand our numbers, reach, and influence, and organize and strengthen ourselves in support of our founding principles.
Happy Birthday Thomas Jefferson; thanks for the Declaration of Independence
By Dennis Jamison Apr 13, 2014
SAN JOSE, April 13, 2014 — Today is the birthday of one of the most important Founding Fathers. Unfortunately, this day is not special to Americans. Thomas Jefferson is not readily remembered on this day for many of the incredible things he did. Although he went on to become the third president of the United States, many Americans do not really remember what he did when he was president.
There is no federal holiday to honor Jefferson on the day of his birth like holidays honoring others who have done things less remarkable than creating an intellectual or philosophical framework of thought that sparked and sustained the American colonist’s fight for freedom.
Although many Americans will not remember the date of Jefferson’s birthday, and many may be clueless about what happened during his two terms as president, most who know American history will connect Jefferson to the Declaration of Independence. Moreover, several of the more reflective citizens will remember specific words of wisdom he embedded in the Declaration. And often in enlightened thought around the time of the Fourth of July, citizens remember that he was at the center of creating the ideological framework for the formation of a nation founded upon the principles of freedom. Jefferson is remembered, but mainly when linked with penning the Declaration of Independence.
Many ambitious historians have depicted the man in different perspectives, and despite a multitude of accounts of Thomas Jefferson’s life, many that paint him in a saintly light, many that regard him in disparaging terms, the inescapable theme linked to his life is his central role in writing the manifesto of freedom. In more recent years, much attention has been focused upon Mr. Jefferson and his relation to Sally Hemmings, the slave with whom he is claimed to have fathered children. In addition, beyond this sensational type of controversy, Jefferson was involved in bewildering or contradictory behavior as a leader and public figure that casts him in a less respectable light.
What seems needless to point out is that Jefferson shines as a father of freedom as he is inextricably linked to the Declaration of Independence. It is more than likely if Jefferson were alive today, he would be more concerned whether Americans would remember the values and the vision that existed in him and within the other Founding Fathers during the time they devoted themselves to the creation of a new nation. And in the turbulent times that exist in America today, Americans need to remember Thomas Jefferson for the ideals and values he and the other Founders believed in, and to respect his memory for the principles for which he worked as a key leader during the infancy of the United States.
The fundamental core of the beliefs and values that the Founders shared still exists within the ideals espoused in the Declaration of Independence. Nevertheless, the document that is essentially attributed to Thomas Jefferson was amended 88 times. Most Americans are not aware of the complete original text of what he wrote in the initial draft because he offered his work to John Adams and Benjamin Franklin to be edited, and then to the rest of the committee of five; but before the members of the Continental Congress put their names on the Declaration of Independence, they made change after change. After the language was deemed satisfactory and expressed the essence of what the delegates could agree upon, they voted their acceptance on July 4, 1776.
This was the culmination of process that started when debate in the Continental Congress over Richard Henry Lee’s resolution that the colonies were “United Colonies” and “of Right, ought to be FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES” became stagnated. Lee, a delegate from Virginia, had put forth a proposal that had originally been approved unanimously by the Virginia convention and their President, Edmund Pendleton. It boldly proposed outright independence from Great Britain. Although by May of 1776, a majority of delegates had come to favor independence, support for Richard Henry Lee’s resolution was not readily accepted and after three days, the delegates decided to adjourn, go back to their respective colonies, and secure clarity on this most critical question.
The submission of Lee’s proposal was the formal act of challenging Congress to make a serious decision of whether to allow business as usual or make a dramatic break with the mother country. The Lee Resolution essentially required everyone to get real about making one of the most important decisions of their lives. In reality, it seemed too big of a decision for them to make on their own. The delegates decided to reconvene on July 1st to consider the weighty Lee Resolution, but during that time, John Adams, who had seconded Lee’s proposition, secured permission to have a committee draft a formal document of resolution so as to save time should the delegates vote favorably on Lee’s proposal that July.
Thomas Jefferson was selected to join Adams and three others to be involved in the drafting committee: Roger Sherman, Robert R. Livingston, and Benjamin Franklin, but it was Jefferson that was asked to be the one to compose the initial draft. Jefferson was the only member of the committee from the South, and had rented a second floor bedroom and parlor for the duration of the Congress in Philadelphia. There he set to work, almost as if still a student at William and Mary College. Jefferson the scholar, did not simply pen his own ideas. Jefferson brought ideals from ancient as well as his contemporary philosophers and thoughts of colleagues. He especially drew upon the ideas of John Locke.
Thomas Jefferson was an eloquent writer and he sifted through all of the incredible ideals through which he had received inspiration, and he bound them to his own thoughts and composed a document that even impressed John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. They were moved by his composition and John Adams felt that the part attacking slavery was the most important aspect of Jefferson’s creation. However, knowing the task of having unanimous acceptance of the document, these two altered the original as they offered their input as the first ones to edit and revise the Declaration of Independence. Although many of the ideals had been around for some time, they had never been more than philosophical treatises.
Jefferson’s words formulated a framework and a premise for all people to declare their alliance with the belief that all men were created equal, and that all were endowed by the Creator with the unalienable rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Indeed, it was much more than a philosophical treatise; it was essentially a declaration of war against Great Britain, and yet woven into the very fabric of the Declaration of Independence was a manifesto for the freedom of all humanity. Jefferson had reiterated very efficiently what Thomas Paine had claimed in his pamphlet of Common Sense, and reaffirmed that the cause of America was the cause of the world!
The words of the Declaration of Independence are quite powerful words still today. Though Richard Henry Lee’s resolution was approved on July 2nd, it was not the final word on declaring independence from the Crown because their words could be viewed in the context of simply “blowing smoke” that would drift away with the wind. By voting for and affirming belief in the words as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, and then later affixing their names upon the document, the Founding Fathers were essentially making their decision formally binding, and documenting their determination.
Putting such exacting words of determination upon paper was critical, and such a decision it could be argued, was not entirely official until it was written and accepted in unanimous consent by the Founders. They made a promise as a unified body of men, substantially pledging “…their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor…” to the cause for freedom. They were risking so much to make the concept of freedom more than philosophical conjecture, but the initial determination and commitment to the creation of the Land of the Free.
Happy Birthday Mr. Jefferson!
The Idiocracy
By Michael James Lewinski – 04/01/23
A new aristocracy is composed of Progressive idiots in the Biden administration, the administration of the great pretender.
Chief among these idiots is Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. He is the Progressive who has our troops practicing how to use pronouns correctly rather than enhancing their fighting skills. He has also admitted no one had been held accountable for the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan which resulted in the loss of 13 lives and many more wounded.
Another idiot is Deb Haaland,who is Secretary of the Interior. She was recently asked about a measure she co-signed, but then didn't know what it contained, as demonstrated by the questioning of a Congressional committee member asking about the banning of fracking and clean coal provisions.
But, idiots come in all stripes. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham supports the Restrict Act, which is supposed to ban TikTok. Unfortunately, it also gives the U.S. Government the power to basically destroy free speech online.
A heated debate also erupted in late March on Capitol Hill when Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman, another idiot, loudly called Conservative Republicans cowards as they exited the House floor – for not supporting stricter gun control measures after a recent school shooting. Bowman and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, an ardent supporter of gun rights and an advocate for arming teachers, then argued just outside the House chamber.
And the Idiocracy is not just limited to Congress. It has spread through all the bureaucracy in the United States, creating laws giving us idiotic rules we must follow. Apparently, in Hawaii, you cannot have more than one alcoholic drink in front of you at one time. In Indiana, you are prohibited from catching a fish with your bare hands. Good luck reaching down to catch catfish. And, in Billings, Montana, it's illegal to own a pet rat.
Please, God, deliver us from these evil Progressive idiotic fools. Please have mercy on our souls so we do not have to endure this madness. Our other alternative is to vote these horrible people out of office and replace them with Conservatives and Moderates – the sane candidates.
Editor’s note: The CPR Lifeline Advisory is now offering the CPR group activities or articles at the top of the aggregate sections in order to shine a spotlight on member organizations or allies or affiliates. We know new patriots are awakening each day, just like Front Line Freedom. The CPR is willing to work with other Christian, patriot, and conservative organizations as they work to organize and mobilize to actively respond to the clear and present danger to our Republic.
