About Our Organization

CHILDREN OF LIBERTY is a non-profit organization that strives to create a revolution, succession, and a new nation. By bringing together like-minded individuals, we hope to create a libertarian society.

A Country Founded on Libertarian Philosophy

The founding fathers believed strongly in libertarian ideas, which were implemented in the American Revolution and the formation of this nation. The united States was the greatest example of a libertarian society, and the nation itself became the greatest nation the world had ever seen. This was not a coincidence.

The nation was founded on the libertarian philosophy of individual liberty above all else. Individual liberty was to be secured by a constitutionally limited federal government, state powers, free-market capitalism, sound money (gold), an adversarial free press, and individual right to bear arms. The results were spectacular.

A Problem with Our Federal Government

Our federal government has not remained true to the principles of our founding fathers and founding documents. Most of the problems our nation faces are because of this.

With all due respect to those who have written and advocated better public policy on specific issues concerning the problems our nation faces, all you are doing is attempting to treat the symptoms of the disease. Often, you have implicitly accepted that the federal government should have a role in issues for which it does not have constitutional authority. The main problem we need to solve is the unconstitutional growth of the federal government.

The federal government has become a cancer to this nation. For our nation to thrive, we need to address the disease itself instead of trying to treat the symptoms such as:

Burdensome Taxes
Out-of-Control Spending
Huge Deficits
Bad Economic Policy
Special Interest Groups

Activist Justices
Invasion of Privacy
Waging Undeclared Wars
Intrusion on Individual Liberties
And So On

Political Parties

If one honestly evaluates the two main political parties, Democratic and Republican, it is obvious that they both support a big federal government and are willing to ignore the Constitution. We are not saying that there is no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans because there are some.

However, they are mainly in the ways they want to divide us against each other. They both have much in common as they are willing to corruptly ignore the Constitution, grow a big out-of-control federal government, usurp state powers, take individual liberties away, and enrich themselves as well as their special interest groups at the taxpayer’s expense.

Fear and Dependence

The federal government uses a combination of fear and dependence to keep the people loyal to them and the system they have created. This is important in understanding how the federal government operates and how it keeps its power. These unethical political parties have so thoroughly corrupted the federal government that it now is the antithesis of what the founding fathers designed.

What Can We Do?

How can we go from where we are today back to a society that does the following?

Values Individual Liberty Above All Else
Embraces Free-Market Capitalism
Establishes a Government That Will Adhere to a Constitution

Option #1 – Rely on the Democrat or Republican Parties

This obviously will not work.

Option #2 – Libertarian Party

A name that sounds like this should be the solution. The founder of our organization is also a member of the Libertarian party, and this was his first thought about 20 years ago. However, this party has been around for 50 years and has not been able to get any of its candidates elected at the federal level.

It is not conceivable that this party will be elected to the presidency, 60 senate seats, and 218 house seats, which is what it would need to try to make progress in restoring the society our founding fathers created. Even if 100 years from now it became the dominant party, the deep state establishment is so entrenched it would be near impossible to change.

Option #3 – New Third Party

This was our founder’s second thought about 10 years ago. Although we could create a party that is more successful than the Libertarian party, it would face the same issues as the Libertarian party outlined above.

Option #4 – State Nullification

The idea here is that the states have the authority to ignore federal laws that it views as unconstitutional, nullifying them. While we agree they do have this power, they have not used it very often. Remember that the states are controlled by the same political parties as the federal government. The federal government is not inclined to accept this power of the states. It also doesn’t change unconstitutional actions that the federal government does that do not require the states’ active participation in, such as waging undeclared wars or spying on its citizens.

Option #5 – State Secession

Again, the states are controlled by the same political parties as the federal government. Although there are always rumbling from groups about states seceding, politicians do not have an interest in supporting this. Furthermore, even if a state seceded from the union, they are still run by the Democratic and Republican parties, so any improvement would be marginal at best.

Option #6 – Revolution

Once all the above options are ruled out, there is only one option left, and that is revolution and secession by a group of individuals to establish a new sovereign nation. Hope is not a strategy, and we must take it upon ourselves to act.

The Time Has Come for Revolution

If we are free, then we have the right to our life, liberty, and property. It also means we as a group have the right to come together for the enjoyment of our mutual life, liberty, and property. This right is ours, and no government can take it from us. People who want to live free and not have an overbearing unconstitutional government controlling all aspects of society should be allowed to do so. Our goal and the goal of this revolution is to recreate that spectacular environment that our founding fathers created that maximized individual liberty, which led to the greatest nation to ever exist.

We believe the time is ripe for a revolution. Throughout history, when great civilizations fell, it was not because they were conquered by a lesser power. They collapsed due to internal issues such as:

An Unsustainable Government
Excessive Debt
A Debased Currency
An Economy That Does Not Produce Enough Valuable Goods

Large and Growing Wealth Inequities
A Stretched Military Presence
A Lack of Individual Responsibility

This is exactly where we are today. As Stein’s Law states, “If something can’t go on forever, it will stop.”

What We Must Do

This must be a non-violent movement. While most people will not support us, what we need is the majority not to support government action against us. We need a majority to think, “Just let them go.” We don’t need 51% of 350 million Americans to pull this off. A relatively small number working together is more than enough. There are 20 nations in existence today that have less than 200,000 people in them.

If people really want a constitutionally limited government, true free-market capitalism, and individual liberty, we offer the idea of this revolution as the tool to accomplish this. Nothing is more patriotic in this nation than rebellion, and it is time we rebel against the federal government and its political structure.
