Here's the text of the Constitution ad:

The Constitution protects our freedom, but we must protect the Constitution: against presidents, legislators, and judges who distort the clear, original intent of our Founding Fathers. It's in the nature of government to enlarge itself, and to infringe upon our freedom as it expands. Our government has already grown far beyond its proper limits. Instead of ceding more freedom, we should strive to reclaim what we've already lost.

That says it all. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd say it's a 10.

That's a good one. Heck, they're all good. I'm still partial to "Slogan," but the one titled "[Free to] Serve" is a winner too. In fact, I think it's the only one in the whole batch that makes the essential connection between freedom and religion. The text is right on target:

It has been said before, but it bears repeating, that freedom itself is not free, and that eternal vigilance is the price of it. What needs to be said, however, is what freedom really is. In truth, there is no freedom but the freedom to serve. Freedom consists of nothing but a choice of masters. We will serve God, or we will serve mammon. We will obey the promptings of our hearts, or we will follow the dictates of our livers. There is no other choice; there is no other freedom. And if we do not make a conscious decision, we will serve the devil by default.

Amen, brother!
