Combining the Founding Fathers love of the Christian Bible with their work on the Constitution, Andrew Sebolt lays out the clear roots and meaning of our Nation's system of government.

Elections are the vehicle that drives the will of the people into government. It is not "democracy in action", but rather a democratic "process" integral to our Constitutionally Guaranteed Republican form of government.

And the word "Process" is the issue of the day.

A county board of canvassers is the arbiter of "process". In Michigan, they are to "Canvass" and "Certify" election results. Neither word appears with a definition in Michigan statute relevant to election law. However, a careful examination of each word will help us arrive at their definition and assist the citizenry and government to properly put them in to practice.

Canvass: believe it or not...the root word is for "Cannabis". To canvass something 500 years ago was generally meant to sift it thorugh a canvass sheet...a sheet made of h**p (cannabis) so that anything undesired were left out of the canvassing "process".

Certify: this word came out of Latin and means to declare or attest to being the Truth.

So what about "canvassing and certifying an election?"

Keeping an eye on the above, what it means today according to a "manual", some would have us believe that it means to look at a receipt that voting machines spit out and ensure that it matches records provided by the clerks. And then rubber stamp it.

Shouldn't it mean more than that? I believe it actually does.

Under current Michigan Election Law, which is from 1954 and thus before the advent of end-consumer computers, and the canvasser manual, materials and documents are to be inspected in order to certify an election.

But for some reason: government wants us to omit inspection of the computer itself. The very thing that COUNTS votes. Indeed, the ONLY thing that ever counts votes in ANY election EVER in the State of Michigan, Period. The only option to hand count is if there is a recount (wherein very important elements such as absentee ballot applications and matching signatures on the qualified voter file are generally NOT cross referenced). The other option is for a boad of canvassers to bring in local clerks and then inspect the ballots...but only if the board of canvassers is not prevented from doing so by outside forces.

When we discuss "Election Integrity", we must understand that elections are controlled by a computer, that government trusts that computer implicitly, and unfortunately the questioning of a computer system is tantamount to a crime or dereliction of duty.

We have MUCH work ahead of us, Michigan, if we place computers ahead of fellow men and women. And definitely much more work if we replace our faith in God with faith in government.

The Right to "Keep and Bear Arms" is more fundamental than the right to have a firearm alone. By far. The "Right" to be guaranteed by government is that of self-preservation of oneself and ones own unalienable rights...which extends up to and including the guarantor itself.

From whence does this Right derive, then, if the Right also exists to be exercised in strict opposition to its guarantor?

Hint: not by any government of Man.

Is religious expression permitted by government? The answer seems to be NO, and many cite Court Rulings (by atheist judges) and Federal Rules (promulgated by liberals). But ALL rulings and ALL laws and rules MUST be based upon the United States Constitution and the constitutions of the various states.

The 1st Amendment is clear. But if the argument is vague to any, let us turn the tables on the Leftist crowd by using their common tactic. Namely it is this: "it could not have been the INTENT of the legislature!". As it turns out, promoting Christianity was VERY much the intent of the Founders.

To Name just a few instances:

1) Benjamin Franklin ENCOURAGED Bible teaching in PUBLIC SCHOOLS and used bible-based arguments to provide for a Chaplain at the Constitutional Convention.

2) Thomas Jefferson, as President, provided Federal Funds to hire missionaries to go out to the surrounding Indian Tribes. He also included "In the Year of Our Lord, Jesus Christ" when signing off on official presidential documents. He also ordered the USMC Band to play Hymns at the US Capitol Building's Church Services.

3) John Hancock issued an Official Governor's Proclamation to encourage ALL Christians to Pray & Fast that non-believers would BECOME Christians.

4) On Dec 4, 1800, the US Congress APPROVED using the US Capitol Building for Church Services.

The list goes on.

So what do you think? Does government have a role saying when/where our Freedom to express our Religious beliefs starts and ends? They surely had no issue spending money and using buildings. As a side note (this is not taught in school) the Founders meant "Christianity" when they spoke of "religion" or "faith".

Setting up a Faith, Founders, & Freedom class is easy! Simply let me know the topic you or your group would like discussed (Religious Liberties, 2nd Amendment, Electoral College, etc). From there, the host will secure the venue and work with me on a date/time for the class.

If this will be a recurring class on a topic (such as the principles that were the building blocks of our Constitution, or discussion in depth on a single topic) I would ask that there are a guaranteed minimum number of participants, based on Travel time.

Please feel free to reach out to me anytime to arrange a class!

God Bless, & in Liberty

Many Conservatives today feel at a loss: after 4 years of arguably the best Pro-American Values president in History...where do we go now?

A lot of conservatives in our grassroots community are brand new, risen to activism to support their president, but will soon find themselves without a cause. Others have been battling anti-American principles for years but perhaps in the swirling melee of American Politics, have a desire to reach back in time and re-discover the well-spring of the American ideals.

Faith, Founders, & Freedom is a program designed to educate New and Long-Time conservatives alike. Instead of fighting for our system of government every two or four years, re-explore why we have it in the first place. Rather than constantly battling the Left for our Religious Liberties, let's learn what the Founders themselves said and why they advocated for Faith to be such an indelible hallmark of the America they dreamed and fought into existence. Let's take a break now and again from arguing Policy, and take a look back at the Founders' Freedom Formula that went into the framing of the United States Constitution.

If you have a church group, conservative group, republican party, or any organization or group of like-minded Men & Women who LOVE America, I am opening up my studies at your invitation to come and speak. You pick the topic that most interests you: it is my job to bring the Christian Faith and our Founders to life in any debate or topic, as well as a study of relevant Constitutional principles.

Please feel free to reach out to me anytime to set up a date and time. Together, let's Remember where we come from, what it took to get us here, and God helping, Revive the Founders' Faith & Vision as we continue our struggle to Save America.
