"A wise and frugal government,
which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave
them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and
improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it
has earned.
This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the
circle of our felicity." Thomas
Jefferson

Recovery Center Open in
Houston County to assist victims
of Hurricane Ike
9.20.08 - 8:00pm Central
James Odle, Jr. and Kathie Reyer,
two of our staff
members, live and work in the greater Houston area, ground zero for
some of the heaviest damage along with Galveston, the absolute Ground
Zero, when Hurricane Ike struck late last Friday night and throughout
Saturday.
James and Kathie both checked in on Saturday to report they're safe and
they suffered very little property damage in Houston, but James told me
Tuesday evening that their family's home on the Gulf in Galveston was
last seen heading west at 135 mph. In spite of this tragedy he
still manages to maintain a tremendous sense of humor. We're
blessed to have someone like James on our staff.
Our thoughts and
prayers continue to go out to
you and your families, that everyone will make it through this
ordeal as quickly as possible.
God Bless, James & Kathie! And God Bless to all of the rest
of the people
who have lost so much!

So
far, we at Believing In America! have focused our efforts on
promoting and strengthening Conservatism throughout America, and
seeking to strengthen the ideals, principles and values practiced and
established by our Founding Fathers.
Today, our focus is
intensifying! The gloves are off because we're in a full-fledged
battle for the hearts and minds of Americans! We're adding some
very powerful ammunition to our efforts through videos that most people
don't know about, but that will certainly help all of us to understand
the forces of evil and destruction at work INSIDE America today!
In addition to the "Dear Mr.
Obama" video we've had on our site since Day 1, today's featured video
comes from Dave Ramsey, and very well known and highly respected
financial expert and nationally syndicated radio talk show host who
blasts the liberal media, and especially NBC and
their reporter, John Yang.
Send us your links and suggestions
for other videos that would be helpful for us all to see so that their
messages can reach every corner of our country. As the political
debate over the elections intensifies, we're committed to keeping the
TRUTH available for every American. We're in this fight together,
and we're glad to have you on our side!
God Bless America!

The birth and growth of our
country “The United States of America” is fascinating. The more I
learn and read about our heritage
the more I am in awe of every person and every aspect of the evolution
of our
great country. The intelligence,
sacrifice, determination, commitment and foresight of these great
individuals
is absolutely beyond my comprehension.
I feel so very blessed and thankful for what my ancestors sacrificed to
give me the liberties and freedoms I enjoy this very day. All of
us should unequivocally give and do
all that we can to protect and preserve these liberties and freedoms
that, on
the most part, we take for granted each and every day.
I do hope the
“Believing in America! Series” makes you thirst for more information,
and you will do some of
your own research building your foundation of “Your American Heritage”.
God Bless You All

The Articles of Confederation
The Articles of
Confederation
were created November 15, 1777 and were ratified on March 1, 1781.The authors were the members of the
Continental Congress.The purpose for
writing the Articles of Confederation was to create a Constitution for
the
United States, which later was replaced by the creation of the current
United
States Constitution.
The Articles of Confederation and
the Perpetual Union were the governing constitution of the alliance of
the
newly named “United States of America”, which consisted of thirteen
independent
and sovereign states.The Article's ratification (proposed in 1777) was
completed in 1781, legally uniting the states by compact into the
“United
States of America” as a union with a confederation government.Under the Articles
and of course the succeeding Constitution that the states
were able to retain their sovereignty over all government functions
that was
not specifically appointed to the central government.
After a whole year of debate the
final draft of the Articles was finally completed in the summer of 1777
and
adopted by the Second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777 in
York,
Pennsylvania. read

Freedom is
not Free...
Nor has
it ever been.
There are always
sacrifices made in obtaining it
as there are in maintaining it.
These sacrifices are most often made by those who serve in uniform,
and as well as those who love them.
NEVER TO
BE FORGOTTEN AND EVER HONORED
IN REMEMBRANCE, IN THOUGHTS, AND IN PRAYERS
Those who
served,
Those who are serving today,
Those that came home... and those that didn't.
And ...
always
The loved
ones at home ...

A PROUD MOM OF THREE ~ ONE ~ A U.S. MARINE “Being
an American”
“In the first place,
we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith
becomes an American and assimilates himself to us,
he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else,
for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man
because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet
an American, and nothing but an American.
There can be no divided allegiance here.
Any man who says he is an American, but something else also,
isn't an American at all.
We have room for but one flag, the American flag.
We have room for but one language here,
and that is the English language.
And we have room
for but one sole loyalty
and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Government's
view of the economy could be summed
up
in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate
it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
