279980: The Foundations of American Government, DVD The Foundations of American Government, DVD
By David Barton / Wallbuilders

This 25-minute video is designed as a tool to demonstrate that the current "seperation of church and state" is something never intended by the Founding Fathers. It not only surveys the historical statements and records surrounding the original drafting of the First Amendment, but also shows what happened statistically when the 1962 Court rejected the Founders' intent. It further shows that the current Court is beginning to return to and uphold many values previously struck down. This video gives an overview of the Founders' own understanding of the First Amendment and will be helpful to anyone who desires to know the truth about their interpretations.

79757: Original Intent Hardcover Original Intent Hardcover
By David Barton / Wallbuilders

In their own words, the Supreme Court has become "a national theology board," "a super board of education," and amateur psychologist on a "psycho-journey." The result has been a virtual rewriting of the liberties enumerated in the Constitution. A direct victim of this judicial micromanagement has been the religious aspect of the First Amendment. Additional casualties of judicial activism have included protections for State's rights, local controls, separation of powers, legislative supremacy, and numerous other constitutional provisions. Why did earlier Courts protect these powers for generations, and what has caused their erosion by contemporary Courts? This book answers these questions. By relying on thousands of primary sources, Original Intent documents (in the Founding Father's own words) not only the plan for limited government originally set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights but how that vision can once again become reality.

68539: So Help Me God                     - Audiobook on CD So Help Me God - Audiobook on CD
By Roy Moore / Oasis Audio Llc

Chief Justice Roy Moore believes the state must acknowledge the moral principles on which America was founded and that it is not illegal to do so. While the separation of church and state may be a credible and legitimate tenet, it has been largely misconstrued and abused during the last forty years.

Justice Moore swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States. His critics, both within conservative circles and without, have maintained that he violated the law by disobeying the order of a federal judge to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments. But Moore brilliantly argues that those who have ordered him to violate his oath have, in fact, broken the law. So Help Me God will articulate why he believes elected and appointed government officials have the right and the obligation to acknowledge God as the foundation of American government and jurisprudence. Unabridged. Read by Roy Moore with John Perry. 7 CDs. 8 hours.
