There is a show on Fox Nation called Constitution Alive! that is very good at explaining the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in an easy to understand manner. It's all of our responsibility to read, understand and teach the principles of the Constitution to the upcoming generation so they can be free.

Federalism is the way to slay this beast, and a few AGs have started, AG Landry from Louisiana and another (Oklahoma, maybe?) have been granted discovery on government collusion with tech on covid. The Red State AGs can band together in similar fashion to the Big Tobacco take and straighten things out. Especially since the nutbars are concentrated in only a few localities.

In my experience many people are apathetic, they understand what's going on, but they do not want to stand up and challenge anything because "it won't make any difference". People need to be educated, on the fact that it DOES make a difference when even a handful of regular people speak up. And today it's easier than ever to reach people, we don't need to own a printing press anymore. American Revolution had something like ~3% population participating. The rest thought it won't make a difference I guess.

I am always shocked by the lack of knowledge and understanding of basic tenets like freedom, why it is important and how we have it (at least in theory). Even college educated people younger than I (56) have literally no idea what we're talking about. We're not even on the same planet.

I remember Civics being required in high school in the 80s---to have a basic understanding of how our government works and why preserving what we have is worthwhile. Those courses are long gone. Most people don't know the difference between the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution. Some don't know what any of these are. That's where we are.

I don’t know a percentage but anyone coming up in public education is indoctrinated to the “hate the constitution” camp (there are some students resisting it, YAL and others). So unfortunately #1 is a dwindling number as time rolls on. An important line of inquiry. The key is what percentage of group one can be persuaded to look into this and act on it (and they would need to have an idea of what to do).

Thanks. I’ll add more later.

Do children even learn about the Constitution and their rights in schools? I came here 20 years ago, got naturalized 10 years ago, learned about it and like it because it is a good start for law. I have a feeling lots of Americans don't know much about it.

The only reason I selected the "less than 10%" option is because there wasn't a "less than 1/10 of 1%" option. The people of this country are incredibly ignorant of the organization of our government. Need an example? Listen to this woman - AN ATTORNEY - at the 40 second mark of this video. "We got the Supreme Court to create, explicitly create, Constitutional rights with regard to abortion . . ."

A freakin' lawyer makes this statement as if it's perfectly okay for the court to create rights out of thin air!!! https://rumble.com/v1cwjql-pro-choice-attorney-wendy-murphy-explains-devastating-roe-decision.html

Comments on excerpts of the Constitution of the USA

The Preamble

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Comment from Wikipedia:

Meaning and application

The Preamble serves solely as an introduction and does not assign powers to the federal government,[3] nor does it provide specific limitations on government action. Due to the Preamble's limited nature, no court has ever used it as a decisive factor in case adjudication,[4] except as regards frivolous litigation.[5]

Thoughts on Wikipedia's post.

No doubt that Wiki posted the current attitude regarding the Preamble. But to dismiss it so easily is stunning. The Preamble states the intention or the light by which one should understand the constitution. In a word the "INTENTION" of those who wrote the Constitution is found in the Preamble.

Hello Katharine.

Thanks for your revealing work.

If you haven't already, would you be willing to reach out to James Roguski? He seems to be focusing mostly on the WHO Pandemic Treaty. As I understand it, a month or two ago, one or more African nations defected, or refused to support the WHO's sinister plan, and the attempt to install this power- grab failed, or stalled. Mr. Roguski provided a means to protest at that time. He now says the WHO are calling their evil machination by another name with more recent efforts in secret meetings to destroy national sovereignty. Apparently, sometime in September is when to expect the official WHO ratification; but implementation of the peril is underway, according to what I'm hearing and reading. Mr. Roguski is attempting to grow a global effort of protest he calls "The People's Treaty." Here are links to his work, and a recent video interview of him:

I was looking at your Covid 19 kill box article and am still wondering: how is

it that local law enforcement knows to deny people their rights (in hospitals),

and why areso many officers complying? The implication is that many people

in local power, and some in congress, don't know what's going on. I'm puzzled

that so many in local law enforcement would know, and how they would know it.

Thanks again for all you do.

When rights erode awakening will occur. But bodily energy will be eviscerated thru mandated drugged/ poisoned compliance. It's now shameful to express happiness because cancel culture's feelings get hurt..therefore the masses will bond thru our sorrows and fight for food like animals.

When people are deprived of land ownership as is the current state of most citizens of the United States it is hard to viscerally understand the Constitution. Even worse is the fact that very few people put over 50% of the food on the table from their own labor.

I have mentioned else where that in the 1950s the hard rock Appalachian coal miners went on strike against the mine owners and they WON. The reason they won is there wives had deep pantries. So the miners out lasted the Coal mine owners. They ran out of coal to sell before the miners ran out of food. Most of those miners didn't own their places. But their wives worked hard toiling in large gardens putting up food which made all the difference.

There is a song written by Merle Travis and latter sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford - 16 Tons... Mr Ford recorded and sang it in 1955. It is about coal miners. This is the song I heard growing up. My dad was from Pennsylvania and his dad worked in the steal mills of Pittsburgh. So there was sympathy for the miners even though both my parents were Republicans. But this song is a mockery of the miners, even though I love the rhythm and the rhyme. See what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIfu2A0ezq0

You should read a bit of the history about the song here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteen_Tons

I didn't lose my theme. It is important to feel those times as best you can.

I wish I believed differently, but I think there are less than 10% of us who worship the Consitution, know it has been subverted and are willing to try and get it back. Let us know if you can think of a plan where we might be able to get through via a chink in the legal armor....

I do not have much hope, but I am willing to die trying.

seems to me that the constitution that matters to most people is the one that houses their vital organs. they'll start paying more attention to the other one when they can't feed theirs.

I predict there will not be mid term elections.

Present powers will use new virus or war to suspend the constitution. Will probably start WWIII.
