Book Cover & Preview Text
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag, of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Citizen White’s inspiration moves him to write: I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands and to our federated Nation united by our Creator as free souls with inalienable natural rights, guarded by republican principles that form our Constitution and its code of law under God’s providential care, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Our Republic Stands upon principles that unite rather than divide our land. Our Republic Stands upon those principles that form our Constitution and our union. We are the Republic of the United States of America. Formed out of the dust of revolution from the hearts of heroes who held celestial thoughts, they set their minds and wills to fight all forms of tyranny, to keep their and our souls free, and to keep their and our minds open to the God of creation by faith based on reason. Their conscience was the mindset that broke the chains of monarchial government and evaluated the accounts of history for a more perfect union. They rose from their prayers to raise a nation founded upon principles that guide the law of the land for the common good of its citizens. But, though God creates, man corrupts. So, our struggle for the people’s sovereignty continues to be a struggle of right over wrong and that struggle weighs God’s Words against those of men who desire to strike God’s words from history and to elevate their own over humanity. We are the Republic of the United States of America knit together by the principles of our republican form of government that unite we the people who hold these truths to be self-evident, which holds that we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. Our united voice hails from the multitude of our free society and albeit the hand that votes makes the majority, the Constitution never denies the minority their rights and it protects the whole from the few who would usurp the sovereignty of the people. Thus, our united voices by principle guide our ship of state upon these pacific waters by the Framers’ compass of republican principles of government. Our banner is our stars and stripes that stir our hearts and minds to remember our heritage. The wind that unfurls our flag is the breath of God and his Spirit writes our pledge of allegiance to our Constitution that embraces the whole of his humanity. Our character is the fabric of his Spirit of free will and his word of righteousness that guides our path in society as individuals. We are a collective of thanksgivings for these natural rights so our expression of them in positive law is our sovereign obligation to one another. We develop our strength of character when we possess the moral courage to govern ourselves. We do this by ensuring that we elevate by education these republican principles to guide our hearts and minds in order to develop our consciences to live united and to honor God by instilling in our prosperity the truth upon which our culture thrives. Truth breathes life into those of us who are free and

He examines the details behind the national and federal system that seek to ensure the United States maintains a republican form of government, as well as how the Framers sought to keep out deficiencies in government by applying the most useful principles from monarchies, aristocracies and democracies while leaving out their most serious pitfalls.
