The WallBuilders Show Rebuilding Liberty Course Part 1: A Roadmap for America's 250th Anniversary
The countdown to America's 250th birthday has begun, but are we prepared to celebrate with true understanding rather than empty patriotism? In this powerful introduction to the Rebuilding Liberty initiative, we confront the alarming reality that many Americans have forgotten what made our nation exceptional in the first place.
Ronald Reagan warned us about this exact problem four decades ago: "If we forget what we did, we won't know who we are." His words proved prophetic as we've witnessed the erosion of American memory leading to confusion about our national identity. The semi-quincentennial celebration in 2026 offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rebuild liberty on its proper foundation – not just wave flags, but understand why those flags are worthy of being waved.
The Declaration of Independence provides our blueprint. Thomas Jefferson's revolutionary document wasn't just a statement of independence but a formula for liberty that remains relevant today. We explore the essential building blocks: truth as our foundation, the Creator as the source of our rights, the pursuit of happiness through free enterprise, and the critical concept of consent of the governed. These principles formed the intellectual architecture that made America exceptional and must be restored if we hope to preserve freedom.
We've grown dangerously comfortable, valuing safety over liberty. This misplaced priority has led to cultural decay as citizens become unwilling to risk reputation or comfort to maintain their freedoms. Rebuilding liberty requires courage – the willingness to speak truth, question established institutions, and actively participate in civic life despite personal costs. Our ambitious goal: educate 5 million Americans about constitutional principles, develop 100,000 Constitution coaches, support 10,000 liberty-minded candidates, and organize 5,000 meaningful celebrations for July 4, 2026.
