Founders Values "Faith of the Founders"
(2/23/2011) 6:30PM - Newark Senior Center- 200 White Chapel Drive. Newark, DE

Our January meeting on climate change was snowed out...but we are moving forward with our February special event. We have teamed up with WallBuilders and with local groups to present "Faith of the Founders"

Co-sponsored by:
Delaware Family Policy Council
Coalition for Advancing Freedom

Made possible with the support of: ...Enney State Farm – 1776 Tech – Locker Construction – Charlie Copeland – Jon & Kristen Sherman – Mike Protack - Matt Moran

Just what faith DID the Founders hold dear?
What role did their faith play in creating our nation?
What role did they intend it to play in our government?
What is the "separation of church and state"?
What does the 1st Amendment mean? Why did we need it?

The role of faith in the founding of our government:
"For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests."
Alexander Hamilton

The intended role of faith in government:
"Human government is more or less perfect as it approaches nearer or diverges farther from the imitation of this perfect plan of divine and moral government."
John Adams

1st Amendment: "Among the features peculiar to the political system of the United States, is the perfect equality of rights which it secures to every religious sect."
James Madison

Great Leaders: "Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports."
George Washington

Special guest speaker: Rick Green from WallBuilders!
Our special guest speaker will focus on the faith of our founders, the role faith played in the founding of our nation and the role the founders intended for faith in the American government.

Rick is a speaker for WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization whose name is taken from the Bible book of Nehemiah (Neh. 2:17), in which Nehemiah led a grassroots movement to rebuild the foundations that had been the strength, honor, and dignity of that nation.

WallBuilders has been recognized nationally for its work in education, history, law, and public policy, integrating the elements of faith and morality throughout all aspects of American life and culture. Much of the uniqueness of WallBuilders message stems from its massive collection of original documents from early American history, affirming George Washington's declaration that, "Of all the habits and dispositions which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."

Rick Green has served in both church and state, being a leader not only in his local church but a Texas State Representative as well. Rick has influenced tens of thousands of Americans to become salt and light in their communities, helping them understand their dual citizenship and responsibilities both as citizens of Heaven and of America. Rick's presentations contain compelling historical and Biblical facts that create interest and inspire patriotism.

Rick earned his B.B.A. in finance from Angelo State University, his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Texas School of Law, and serves as president of the Torch of Freedom Foundation (www.torchoffreedom.org). He is married, a father of four and an entrepreneur who has built several successful businesses. Rick has a solid Biblical worldview and is an excellent teacher of how Biblical principles and Christian values relate to current events and every aspect of life.

Founders Values Monthly Meeting
(1/26/2011) 6:30PM - Newark Senior Center- 200 White Chapel Drive. Newark, DE

We will have a very special 2011 kickoff event. We'll be joined by UD Professor Dr. David Legates who is a well respected climatologist and citizen activist John Nichols who will hold a discussion on the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative which Delaware is currently participating in. Among the topics to be discussed will be:

How much is it costing us?
Is CO2 a pollutant?
What is the relationship between government and the utility companies?
What is SmartGrid?
What about nuclear energy?

Also, Congress read the Constitution last week but they skipped a few passages. We'll delve into those skipped parts and find out why Congress considered them controversial.

8/28 Restoring Honor Rally
*Update* We are would like to thank all of the people who attended the event. Delaware sent over 20 busses plus many thousands who drove or carpooled. We were among the hundreds of thousands (close to a million in my opinion) who met at the feet of Abraham Lincoln to restore honor to America.

Founders Values is a supporter of a strong education system. We know that you are too. That's why we have decided to put together the 1st Annual Founders Values Scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded to the Delaware student who achieves the best overall score in three categories: Citizenship, Grade Point Average and Essay Submission.

We will be holding a series of fundraisers that will raise money for the scholarship. Our goal is to raise $5,000 dollars to send the winner of our essay contest to the college of their choice.

We hope that you will join us throughout the next school year as we award one student from Delaware the opportunity to advance their education. In addition to the scholarship program, Founders Values will also recognize the first ever Patriot School of the Year and Patriot Teacher of the year in the 2010-2011 school year.

In preparation for our "Faith of the Founders" event, we are asking you to do some light reading. Below you will find links to information published by WallBuilders who is teaming up with us to provide you a glimpse of the faith of our founders and the role it played in our nations founding. These publications have been methodically researched and contain some of the most interesting facts about faith in American politics. It's well worth your time to check it out.




The date is March 5, 1770 and most of the colonial city of Boston is preparing to rest for the night. A group of men and boys who are members of a radical group known as the "Sons of Liberty" have picked a fight with a member of the British Army stationed at the Armory. The Sons of Liberty quickly shift from throwing insults to throwing rocks and shells. As the member calls for the guard to help him a series of events is set in motion. These events would lead to America's founding. Use the links below to learn more about the people, events and documents involved in creating the most free nation ever concieved.


Italy, Russia, Venezuela and Cuba have struggled with the chains of Socialism for many years. On June 23rd 2010 you met people who have survived these regimes and who escaped them by coming to America. First take a look at this video of one of the panelists, Founders Values member Donna Ellingsen describing her personal experience with Socialism (video here). Use the links below to learn a little more about some of these countries and their totalitarian leaders.
