"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

The theme this year is Raising our Voices: Equipping and Empowering a New Revolution. Sponsored by a federation of organizations that comprise the Freedom Federation, The Awakening 2011 will begin with the first plenary session at 10:00 am ET on Friday in Liberty University's Convocation service with Lila Rose, Live Action President and Expose Planned Parenthood leader.


The two-day event will continue on April 8 with an invitation-only luncheon at 11:30 am, where former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will be one of the speakers. From 2:00 - 4:00 on Friday, three movies, two of which are documentaries, will be shown. One documentary traces the history of the conservative movement.

Mathew Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, remarked:

"The Awakening is a celebration of a new movement composed of many voices echoing across racial, ethnic and generational lines. Our shared values unite those concerned with social, economic, national defense, domestic, and justice issues. Political parties may seek to divide us, but our values unite us."

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." ~ Benjamin Franklin
