Protect Life and Liberty

Initially introduced by James Madison to the 1st United States Congress and approved in 1791, the US Bill of Rights limits the government regarding essential rights and personal liberties. Although frequently challenged, these ten amendments of our US Constitution have stood the test of time.

Our responsibility and that of our state is to remember the purpose, defend and uphold these amendments that guarantee our rights pertaining to religion, speech, press, peaceable assembly, bearing arms, due process, trial by jury, and eminent domain to name a few.

Upon taking an oath of office in Missouri, appointees and officials "solemnly swear to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Missouri…"

We not only have a right, but a responsibility to protect life and our liberties.
