Meeting Date: June 5, 2009
Friends of Liberty,
Thanks to all who attended the movie night on Friday! We were blown away by the turnout. What looked like a meeting of a dozen people turned into a gathering of around thirty. To review, we watched "A More Perfect Union" and learned about the writing of our Constitution. It truly is incredible that those men were able to come to agreement and that our Constitution came to be. But as my new friend Art told me, "They accomplished more good in those four months than our government has been able to do in the last century!" As the founders themselves acknowledged later, it was only by the grace of God Himself that they were able to accomplish what they did. Our Constitution is the greatest political document the world has ever seen and I hope you will take the time to read it. You can find its entire text at:

If you would be interested in purchasing the movie for your own, you can find it at:

For further personal study, we would suggest the following books for your consideration:
The Federalist Papers, by John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton
The Heritage Guide to the Constitution, by Edwin Meese
Liberty! The American Revolution, by Thomas Fleming
The Revolution: A Manifesto, by Ron Paul
Remember that the majority of our founding fathers were self-educated men.
Now, let me leave you with an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence,
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
Our federal government was created to "secure these rights" to us and our posterity. Today we have an out-of-control government that has been systematically taking away these rights piece by piece. We need to stand up and say, "NO MORE!" For this reason we hope you will join the LBCCS in getting the truth of our Constitution and our nations founding out to your friends, family, co-workers and anyone else who you come in contact with.
And be sure to join us for our next discussion group meeting on June 19 in Catasauqua. More information on that is coming soon.
Thanks again to all who attended the meeting!
Your fellow student of liberty,
Ryan Burgett
Chairman - L.B.C.C.S.
