You are welcome! I also handed out about 100 of my Grandma’s Re-dedication to Liberty Cards. Here is what it says.

“I believe in the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. In accepting the privileges of the Bill of Rights, I recognize the obligations they entail, and the self-discipline they exact.

I recognize that those institutions rest on a basis of faith in man and faith in God. I recognize that those institutions can endure only where there is fair dealing between individuals and between the government and the citizen, respect for each individual’s right to be himself, and a sense of national fellowship, regardless of color, race or creed.

I recognize that on me rests a supreme responsibility, since it is on the loyalty, patience and courage, the honesty, decency, unselfishness and kindly spirit of myself, and of men and women like me, that the welfare of America depends.

I recognize finally that as a citizen of the great Republic, my first duty is to live according to this understanding; and my second, to help others to see the obligation of free citizenship.

In this spirit, I cooperate in National Re-Dedication, and make my contribution to its power.

Name: __________________”

On the back of the card it states, “What Liberty Really Means-Have you ever read the Bill of Rights which is a part of the Constitution of the United States? It is one of the most personal and precious things you will ever have given to you. The Bill of Rights, which is YOUR Bill of Rights as a citizen of the United States, gives to you, and to every other man, woman and child in this country (remember that), the following privileges:

Freedom of Worship
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of the Press
Right of Assembly
Right of Petition
Right of Private Property
Security from Arbitrary Power
Equal Justice for Everyone
Trial by Jury
In Return the Bill of Rights expects of you:

Self-Reliance
Self Discipline
Integrity of Heart and Mind
Courage
Human Sympathy
Responsibility
Reasonableness
Interest in the Public Good
Respect for the rights of others
Tolerance
Common Sense
Fair Dealing

It is a privilege to live in America. We have so much more freedom than citizens of other countries. We must work diligently to preserve our rights and our Freedom. Where we go one, we go all.”

Obviously I added the last paragraph. :) I am going to share more pictures and post every day until the election. Mark Meadows said he thinks it may come down to Arizona in this election. I am going to do what I can to help.

I know you are naturalized, but the Bill of Rights gives NOTHING to you, 'it just recognizes the rights that the Constitution's framers wanted to protect from government abuse were referred to in the Declaration of Independence as "unalienable rights." They were also called "natural" rights, and to James Madison, they were "the great rights of mankind." Although it is commonly thought that we are entitled to free speech because the First Amendment gives it to us, this country's original citizens believed that as human beings, they were entitled to free speech, and they invented the First Amendment in order to protect it. The entire Bill of Rights was created to protect rights the original citizens believed were naturally theirs.'
