Public Safety Personnel
We support those groups and individuals who are directly involved in providing public safety, protection, and health for all citizens. These include the military, police, fire fighters, emergency personnel and others. They should be properly respected and funded.
Political Freedom with Small Government
The United States is a Republic with a Constitution and Bill of Rights’ This government has lasted over 240 years. It should be as small as possible to allow more things to be decided by the people at a state and local level.
Deficient spending should be avoided as much as possible.
Voting in elections should be open to citizens only. These should be fair elections with no cheating.
There must be law and order at all times by everyone.
School Choice
It is important to provide children, adolescents, and young adults with a good education. The best way to do this is by offering competition through school choice. Public schools, charter schools, private schools, church schools, home school and other types of education should be available for parents and their students in order to select the best choice for each student. In some cases, vouchers should be given to parents by the government to spend at any school or for home school. More affordable choices should be available at the college level too. These efforts would improve the education and training of the next generation.

David Barton and his historical works
American Heritage Series, on television, has 25 episodes, about 40 minutes each.
These cover the history of the United States from the late 1700’s to today.
The Constitution set up a new form of government. The legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the national government operated for 170 years until some changes began in the mid 1950’s. The courts, especially the Supreme Court, has become more powerful since then.
Education was stressed in our early history and many colleges were established. These included many religious schools.
Religion and morality were respected and emphasized in the government and schools until the mid 1900’s. Then things began to change. The policy of separation of church and state began, which is not in the Constitution. Along with this came the elimination of religion in the public schools, including prayer.
Anyone interested in American history should watch this educational television series. Then compare this information to what is taught in the public schools and colleges.
A second series entitled Building on the American Heritage Series has 13 episodes.
A third series entitled American Heritage Collection has 8 episodes.
All three series support each other. These demonstrate the special role that God had in establishing the United States as a free nation.

Many of these churches get involved in education. They provide preschool activities and classes for young children ages 3-5. Some churches provide schools for grades 1-12.
