How did past civilizations rise and fall? How rare is America's
experiment with a republic? With every crisis, is power being taken
away from "the people" and transfered to the central government.
Does history give us a clue as to where all this is all headed?
George Washington warned in his Farewell Address, 1796: "Disorders
and miseries...gradually incline the minds of men to seek security
and repose in the absolute power of an Individual... who] turns
this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins
of Public...and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a
real despotism." Ronald Reagan stated at St. John's University, NY,
March 28, 1985: "Government that is big enough to give you
everything you want is more likely to simply take everything you've
got." Woodrow Wilson warned in New York, 1912: "The history of
Liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the
increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of
power, we are resisting the powers of death, because concentration
of power is what always precedes the destruction of human
liberties." In the nearly 6,000 years of recorded human history,
power, like gravity, seems to inevitably concentrate into the hands
of one individual, sometimes called pharoah, caesar, czar, kaiser,
king, emperor, monarch, sultan, president or communist dictator. No
matter what the autocratic leader's particular title is, the
default setting for human government throughout history has most
often been monarchy. When power is concentrated, the State is
supreme. When power is separated, the individual is supreme.
America's founders had a unique window of opportunity in the long
train of world history, to maximize the freedom and opportunity of
the individual. Ronald Reagan stated in 1961: "In this country of
ours took place the greatest revolution that has ever taken place
in the world's history...Every other revolution simply exchanged
one set of rulers for another." Is past behavior the best indicator
of future performance? What can we expect? Find out as world
history comes alive from a whole new perspective in "Change to
Chains - the 6000 year quest for control - Volume I: Rise of the
Republic."

An in-depth study of how each of the Ten Commandments had a
historical impact on the development of laws in America and
affected the legal philosophy of our government framers. For
example, the 4th Commandment-"Keep Holy the Sabbath": PENNSYLVANIA
FRAME OF GOVERNMENT, April 25, 1682, Article XXII: "That as often
as any day of the month...shall fall upon the first day of the
week, commonly called the Lord's Day, the business appointed for
that day shall be deferred till the next day, unless in the case of
emergency." U.S. CONSTITUTION, 1787, Article I, Section 7,
Paragraph 2 "If any Bill shall not be returned by the President
within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been
presented to him, the Same shall be a Law" Read how the Ten
Commandments affected the views of America's leaders: "The Ten
Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount contain my religion" -
John Adams, Nov. 4, 1816, letter to Thomas Jefferson. "The
fundamental basis of this nation's laws was given to Moses on the
Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the
teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St.
Paul. I don't think we emphasize that enough these days." - Harry S
Truman, Feb. 15, 1950, Attorney General's Conference. See
references to the Ten Commandments in court cases: "The Ten
Commandments have had an immeasurable effect on Anglo-American
legal development" - U.S. District Court, Crockett v. Sorenson,
W.D. Va. (1983) "It is equally undeniable ...that the Ten
Commandments have had a significant impact on the development of
secular legal codes of the Western World." - U.S. Supreme Court,

offenses, and to incline us by His Holy Spirit to that sincere
repentance and reformation."-JOHN ADAMS, Day of Fasting declared
during a threatened war with France, March 23, 1798"In the present
time of public calamity and war a day may be recommended to be
observed by the people of the United States as a day of...humble
adoration to the Great Sovereign of the Universe, of confessing
their sins and transgressions, and of strengthening their vows of
repentance."-JAMES MADISON, Day of Fasting, November 16, 1814,
after British burned the Capital"In a time of war humbly and
devoutly to acknowledge our dependence on Almighty God and to
implore His aid and protection...I, Woodrow Wilson, President of
the United States of America, do hereby...exhort my
fellow-citizens...to pray Almighty God that He may forgive our
sins."-WOODROW WILSON, Day of Fasting May 11, 1918, during World
War I"Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have
set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic,
our religion and our civilization...Help us, Almighty God, to

sacrifice."-FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, June 6, 1944, D-Day Prayer on

The Faith of FDR- From President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Public
Papers 1933-1945 FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT served as President of the
United States for over twelve years, longer than any other
President. He won four Presidential Elections, 1932, 1936, 1940 and
1944. He was America's leader during the Great Depression and World
War II. Regardless if one agrees or disagrees with his political
views, the fact remains he exerted a significant influence on
United States history. It is inevitable that a serious student of
history would want to examine the Faith of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The statements in this book are taken exclusively from over 3,600
pages of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Public Papers
1933-1945, printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office, with the
exception of the foreword President Roosevelt wrote for a 1941
edition of the New Testament distributed by The Gideons to millions
of Military personnel during WWII, of which this author owns an
original. Backcover: "WE ARE INSPIRED by a faith that goes back to
the first chapter of the Book of Genesis: 'God created man in His
own image.'"-FDR, Jan. 6, 1942, State of the Union "I KNEW THAT
some day Russia would return to religion for the simple reason that
four or five thousand years of recorded history have proven that
mankind has always believed in God in spite of the many abortive
attempts to exile God."-FDR, Feb. 10, 1940, to the Delegates of the
American Youth Congress, Washington, D.C. "WE FACE ONE of the great
choices of history...the continuance of civilization as we know it
versus the ultimate destruction of all that we have held dear -
religion against godlessness."-FDR, July 19, 1940, accepting
Nomination, Democrat Natl. Convention "DEMOCRACY IS THE birthright
of every citizen, the white and the colored; the Protestant, the
Catholic, the Jew."-FDR, Nov. 4, 1940, Radio Address, Hyde Park, NY
"THE NAZI WORLD does not recognize any God except Hitler; for the
Nazis are as ruthless as the Communists in the denial of God."-FDR,
May 27, 1941, Radio Address "I HOPE THAT you have re-read the
Constitution of the United States...Like the Bible, it ought to be
read again and again."-FDR, Mar. 9, 1937 Fireside Chat "THOSE
FORCES HATE democracy and Christianity as two phases of the same
civilization. They oppose democracy because it is Christian. They
oppose Christianity because it preaches democracy."-FDR, Nov. 1,
1940, Campaign Address, Brooklyn, NY "THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, ever
zealous in the cause of human freedom, have watched with
sympathetic interest the effort of the Jews to renew in Palestine
the ties of their ancient homeland where for centuries it
flourished...It gives me great pleasure to send my warmest
greetings."-FDR, Feb. 6, 1937, to Stephen Wise, United Palestine
Appeal Includes FDR on: "Nazi hatred and terror"-"Nazi murder of
French hostages"-"Spies, saboteurs"-"We intend to bring this battle
to him on his own home grounds"-"No nation can appease the Nazis.
No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it."-"There are
also American citizens, who, unwittingly, are aiding and abetting
the work of these agents"-"Certain things in regard to the defense
of the United States should be kept confidential"-"We will accept
only a world consecrated to...freedom from terror"-"Oceans no
longer figure as greatly in our defense as they have in the
past"-"Our enemies have performed a brilliant featof deception,
perfectly timed, executed with great skill"-"I do not think any
American has doubt of our ability to administer punishment to the
perpetrators" -"We are against those...substituting terror for law"
"The whole power over the subject of religion is left exclusively
to the State governments, to be acted upon according to their
justice and the State Constitutions," wrote Supreme Court Justice
Joseph Story in his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United
States, 1833. Who was Joseph Story? He was the founder of Harvard
Law School and appointed to the Supreme Court by President James
Madison - the same James Madison who introduced the First Amendment
in the first session of Congress. To understand the progression of
religious freedom in America, it is necessary to review the
Constitutions of the original thirteen States, together with the
Colonial Charters that preceded them, i.e.: VIRGINIA CHARTER OF
KING JAMES I, 1606 ..".propagating of Christian Religion to such
People as yet live in Darkness..." DELAWARE CHARTER OF KING
ADOLPHUS, 1626 ..".further propagation of the Holy Gospel..."
MASSACHUSETTS CONSTITUTION, 1780, Part 1, Article 3 "Every
denomination of Christians...shall be equally under the protection
of the law and no subordination of any one sect or denomination to
another shall ever be established..." PENNSYLVANIA CONSTITUTION,
1968, Article 1, Section 3 "All men have a natural and indefeasible
right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their
own consciences..." NORTH CAROLINA CONSTITUTION, 1971, Article 11,
Section 4 "Beneficent provision for the poor, the unfortunate, and
the orphan is one of the first duties of a civilized and a
Christian state..." Examining Charters, Constitutions, Court
Decisions and Correspondence, this overview of history is intended
as a study help for those interested in discovering the role
religion played in America's original thirteen States. The process
of how the Federal Courts removed religion from States'
jurisdiction, most notably in the 1947 Everson v. Board of
Education case, and subsequently evolved it into its present
interpretation is the subject of another book.
We live in the greatest nation on Planet Earth, but it is becoming
more and more apparent that in order to keep it great, people must
do something to stop the federal courts that are daily setting
themselves above the law and dictating how we should live and what
we should think. This book is designed to bring you up to speed on
the ongoing struggle against an over-reaching judicial branch,
without overwhelming you with legal double-speak. It is written in
plain American, and presented in bite-sized pieces. After studying
the principles in this book, you will better understand the role of
government and how to react when the next judge throws out the will
of the people in favor of the latest social engineering project. To
bring our nation back from the elites in black robes that wish to
redefine everything we are as Americans, it is going to take work.
Edmund Burke, the famous British politician who supported our War
of Independence while serving in the British Parliament, stated a
simple truth that still applies to us today: "The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
We have done nothing for too long, and we are paying the price
today. But it is not too late. The fight has only just begun. But
by picking up this book you are taking the first step, and together
we can turn our nation around. This book features chapters from
some of our nation's most prominent leaders in the battle for
continued liberty and freedom in our nation, such as: A

The faith that gave birth to tolerance is no longer tolerated! *
Ten Commandments taken down, "Under God" removed from Pledge,
Prayer prohibited, Nativity Scenes banned, Religious Art &
Music censored, Salvation Army & Boy Scouts defunded, Christmas
carols disallowed... * How did America go from Pilgrims seeking
freedom to express their Christian beliefs to today's
discrimination against those very beliefs in the name of tolerance?
"From its beginning, the new continent seemed destined to be the
home of religious tolerance. Those who claimed the right of
individual choice for themselves finally had to grant it to
others."- Calvin Coolidge, May 3, 1925 *DISCOVER HOW TOLERANCE
TRANSFORMED ->From Pilgrims ->To Puritans ->To Protestants
->To Catholics ->To "Liberal" Christians ->To Jews ->To
Monotheists ->To Polytheists ->To All Religions ->To
Atheists ->To only the Politically Correct "The frustrating
thing is that those who are attacking religion claim they are doing
it in the name of tolerance.... Question: Isn't the real truth that
they are intolerant of religion""- Ronald Reagan, August 23, 1984
"All men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights" - Declaration of Independence, 1776 Do you like having

created in the image of God" - Harry S Truman, 1949, Inaugural
Address "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious
people, it is wholly inadequate to the government of any other" -

Almighty Being who rules over the universe....We ought to be no
less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be
expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and
right which Heaven itself has ordained." ABRAHAM LINCOLN, MARCH 4,
1865, INAUGURAL ADDRESS: "If God will that it continue until all
the wealth piled by the bondsmen's two hundred and fifty years of
unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn
with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was
said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said 'the
judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.'"
FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, JANUARY 20, 1945, INAUGURAL ADDRESS: "So we
pray to Him now for the vision to see our way clearly - to see the
way that leads to a better life for ourselves and for all our
fellow men - to the achievement of His will, to peace on earth. In
the presence of God - I know that it is America's purpose that we
shall not fail." RONALDREAGAN, JANUARY 20, 1981, INAUGURAL ADDRESS:
"With God's help, we can and will resolve the problems which now
confront us. And after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are
Americans."

things certain are death and taxes" - Benjamin Franklin Yet few
know America's interesting history of Income Tax, such as: *1787 -

"Revenue Tax" on incomes went into effect to finance the Union
during the Civil War *1895 - Supreme Court made Income Tax
unconstitutional *Woodrow Wilson thought tariffs on imports caused
wars, so he worked to replace them with an Income Tax. *1913 -
Income Tax was only a 1% tax on the top 1% richest people in
America. *1943 - Paycheck Withholding began as an emergency effort
to get funds to finance WWII. John F. Kennedy - "Lower rates of
taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels
of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an
increased flow of revenues to the Federal Government." (Annual
Budget Message, Jan. 17, 1963) Thomas Jefferson - "It is an
encouragement to proceed as we have begun in substituting economy
for taxation" (2nd Annual Message, 1802) (176 pages, includes
pictures)
