We are pleased to bring you the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and The Bill of Rights on our blog. We hope that you enjoy reading these important documents and that you take the time to read and study them. If you are interested in learning more about the principles the documents are based on, we recommend you take a look at "The Christian History of the Constitution," John Locke's "Two Treatisies on Government," David Mccullough's "John Adams," Catherine Drinker Bowen's "Miracle at Philadelphia," and "A More Perfect Union." For further primary research into Constitutional history, we also recommend going to The Constitutional Sources Project and checking out their collection of primary source documents.
Happy reading!

State of the Union: New Tone, Same Tune
According to President Obama, "...if we truly care about our deficit, we simply cannot afford a permanent extension of the tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Before we take money away from our schools, or scholarships away from our students, we should ask millionaires to give up their tax breaks."
Is the President seriously asking us to suspend our reasonable disbelief and buy his argument about whose responsibility the deficit is? That doesn't make sense; Every spending bill signed by President Obama directly added to the ever increasing federal deficit.
