“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: It is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”
~ Thomas Paine -The American Crisis ~
2026 is the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence
and some of the many events leading to it.
Our new website will be launching on July 4th of this year, and it will launch a yearlong focus on what brought Americans to the point of Declaring Independence from Britain. Be on the lookout for the new site with new interactive ways to see our history and to involve others in our fight to revive America!
In honor of the Anniversary year, we are launching a fund drive of $17.76. Our goal is to give everyone the opportunity to participate in fighting for our freedom. We are asking for donations of $17.76. It can be a one-time donation, or it can be a monthly reoccurring donation. You can also donate $1776.00 if you want, but we are really looking for as many people to participate as we can possibly reach. You can donate to any specific category you wish or just donate to the general fund.
This is a great opportunity for you to have a conversation with family, friends, or coworkers about our freedoms and the price of saving them.
“It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority,
keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
Samuel Adams
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls:
The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country;
but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
Thomas Paine THE AMERICAN CRISIS, No. 1, 1776
Dec. 19, 1776: Published as a pamphlet in Philadelphia.
Dec. 24, 1776: Read to Washington’s troops before the crossing of the Delaware River and victory in the Battle of Trenton.
