"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?" -- Thomas Jefferson

"And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God." -- John F. Kennedy

"Because of their belief that power had come from God to each individual, the Framers began the Constitution with the words 'we the people'" -- Newt Gingrich

"There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government." -- Marco Rubio

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, commented:
"America faces many critical issues including social, economic and national security concerns. There is an awakening happening among ordinary people who are determined to preserve the liberty we have inherited and to have a voice in the future of America. A new movement of people committed to first principles is clearly in the making."
