So i'm an 18 year old sitting at my computer reading all of this and i think to myself am i being screwed out of a life time of freedoms that my father enjoyed it freaks me out to read this. how can one man forfit millions of Americans rights? its all very confusing to me being so young and all ha ha but it leads to the question will Americans sit by and let this happen? what are your thoughts? do you think the general American public is well enough informed to stop something like this IF it ever happened? I hate to say it but i dont think we are... what do you all think?

Talk to friends, family, neighbors, schoolmates, co-workers, people at church. Educate yourself as to what our Constitution says and what it is about, so you can tell people the story of Liberty. People need to know what their rights are (and are not). If people knew what their rights were they would be more likely to be offended that they are being stolen.
Ira Stoll's "Samuel Adams: A Life" is a great book to put the American Revolution into context. David McCullough's "1776" is a good book to understand the sacrifice that men made at the alter of Liberty. "The Federalist Papers" (especially the papers written by Madison, since he wrote the Constitution) is the good way of understanding the intent of the Constitution as articulated by our founders. Finally, the "5000 Year Leap" is a great read regarding the principals at work in our Constitution.
I have purchased 1000 constitutions and have had 600 eight page booklets printed that i wrote describing American Liberty. I have distributed 800 of those constitutions to about 100 different people so far and about 400 of my booklets with hopes that the recipients will distribute the extras. I get strange looks sometimes. That is a very small price for the Liberty of my posterity. Not everyone can do this individually, so you may need to take up a collection to get the materials you need.
If you need any help with this PM me.
Lastly, do not get discouraged. You will not convince everyone. Only 3% of Americans fought on the side of the Patriots. Maybe 20% of colonist were supportive. The rest were indifferent or Torrie.
