We cannot expect to change the world unless we educate ourselves about how our form of government should work. We were originally set up to be a free republic. We need to understand our rights, and our laws in order to make change happen in this country. The following are resources I have used to educate myself (with the help of wonderful mentors who know their stuff), I am passing them on to you for your journey. Education is where the educational revolution starts.

Know Our Enemies!!!
Again, I post these so we can be well armed. Please be careful as you read through these, because they can be very persuasive. Use a mentor who knows the forms of government if you must. It's important to be able to tell good law from bad law. -Debbi Edmonds
Communism

http://www.conservativeusa.org/10planksofcommunism.htm
http://www.anu.edu.au/polsci/marx/classics/manifesto.html
after reading these, please read a book called "The Red Scarf Girl" by: Ji-li Jiang, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and if you get time read 1984 by George Orwell, and A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. You will be able to see how governments like this end up.
Humanism
(the religion taught in our government controlled public schools)

What about the "separation of church and state"??? Hmmm...
Socialism
http://www.worldsocialism.org/articles/what_is_socialism.php
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism
Socialism and Communism are so similar, that it can be very hard to tell them apart. I like to refer to them as twin sisters. Where you find one, you usually find the other smiling smugly at you.
Do we see any of these enemies creeping into our school systems? Into our government? What would you like to see change?
