America
is in a colossal struggle for its very soul. If we
are going to win the battle for our civil rights
and our religious liberties, we would be wise to
learn from the successful movements of the past.
The American people have always resisted tyranny.
The Revolutionary War, the abolition of slavery
and the civil rights movement of the 1960s all
show this to be true.
History teaches us that preceding every one these
events, where common everyday citizens felt the
need to throw off the chains of bondage, there
were two factors at work. They are:
1. Powerful writings that educated and motivated
the people to throw off the chains of bondage.
2. A groundswell of activism from the grassroots
Judeo-Christian community.
The American colonists were motivated to end the
tyranny of Britain when Thomas Paine published his
famous revolutionary pamphlet Common Sense.
Paine's passion for the issue of freedom coupled
with a direct appeal to the colonists did more to
motivate the people than anything else. He is
quotes as saying:
“Society in every state is a blessing, but
government even in its best state is but a
necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable
one.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin
created such a controversy on the issue of slavery
that when she was introduced to President Abraham
Lincoln in 1862, he is said to have greeted her
with the words: “So you are the little woman who
wrote the book that started this great war!”
Dr. King's 1963 “Letter from Birmingham Jail”
inspired a growing national civil rights movement.
All three of these writings played essential roles
in the granting of basic God-given civil rights by
creating a groundswell of activism from the
Christian community.
I have written the book series The Rise of America
to serve as a teaching guide in order to instruct
Americans about the type of government that we are
guaranteed under the Constitution and how that
government has been ripped from the hand of the
people and put under the jurisdiction of the
federal courts.
If these are the fundamental truths that our
Founding Fathers held to be true when forming this
country, who then is going to teach Americans that
this was the opinion of our Founding Fathers? The
High schools and colleges are not allowed to teach
it because of the fictitious lie of separation of
church and state, and the liberal media refuses to
report on it because it conflicts with their
anti-Christian worldview.
If the church in America does not assume the
responsibility to teach these truths to this
generation of Americans, then the ideals of our
Founding Fathers may be lost and forgotten forever
by the next generation.
I believe that when the American people find out
how the Constitutional and their civil rights are
being violated by a federal judiciary that never
had the legal or constitution right to rule on
these issues to begin with, the outrage will
motivate those at the grassroots level to take
action. Again, The key I believe is Education!
The church takes books like The Purpose Driven
Life and we teach them in our small groups, bible
studies and our Sunday schools; but if we do not
teach these truths with just as much dedication
and commitment, our society is going to collapse
around the church. The church cannot fulfill
Christ’s mandate to be the salt and the light to
a dying society if it only stays within the four
wall of the church.
My name is John D. Diamond and I have written the
book series The Rise of America to serve as a
teaching guide in order to instruct Americans
about the type of government that we are
guaranteed under the Constitution and how that
government has been ripped from the hand of the
people and put under the jurisdiction of the
federal courts.
Coach Dave Daubenmire said, “The Rise of
America: Fighting the Next American Revolution and
the Constitutional Crisis is a fabulous book that
is a must read for all those who wonder how
America got into this mess, and what we can do to
get out of it… the book is outstanding... as
good as any historical analysis on the market!”
Since my objective in writing this book is the
restoration of constitutional limits on government
and the judiciary, I would like to send you a free
copy on my book for you to read.
I believe that the time for inaction is over. We
must adopt the attitude of William Jennings Bryan
who once said:
“We do not come as aggressors. Our war is not a
war of conquest; we are fighting for the defense
of our homes, our families, and posterity. We have
petitioned, and our petitions have been scorned;
we have entreated, and our entreaties have been
disregarded; we have begged, and they have
mocked.... We beg no longer; we entreat no more;
we petition no more. We defy them!”
Thank you for your time and God bless!
