America was founded by rebels, by spiritual warriors. They were not perfect people, but they risked their lives for freedom and to bequeath us the enduring principles they encoded in The Bill of Rights. It continues to inspire the world over 200 years later. In 1775, Patrick Henry declared “Give me liberty or give me death!” All the US Founding Fathers knew when they signed The Declaration of Independence that they were signing their death warrants if the 13 colonies lost the war with Britain. Yet, John Hancock wrote his name so large that it is now synonymous with “signature”. In effect, they were all saying to the mighty British Empire, “You know where to find us — and we are not afraid”.
August Landmesser was a German who refused to do the “Sieg Heil” salute during a Nazi rally at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg on June 13, 1936. When all the Germans around him saluted Hitler, Landmesser stood alone in his refusal to follow the crowd.

John F. Kennedy wrote Profiles in Courage in 1955 as a Junior Senator from Massachusetts. The book celebrates eight unsung American heroes and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Kennedy had the courage to defy the unconstitutional Federal Reserve System and to restore the US Treasury’s constitutional right to print our money interest free so we would have no national debt and not have to pay income tax. He may have been assassinated, in part, because of that defiant act.+++
