Welcome to Our Posterity

We are a non-partisan educational organization that believes Our Posterity is granted equal protection under the U.S. Constitution in the Preamble.

Preamble of the United States Constitution

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

We are in the process of incorporating as an educational, tax exempt, nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the rights of our children, grandchildren and their posterity. Much more is to come. This is just a quick post to get our new website started.

Most of the founding fathers believed that Providence guided the founding and early years of our Republic. Join me and others in prayer that Divine Providence will once again guide and sustain this Republic. That there will be a revival of the national interest in the hearts and minds of all Americans, and that God will bless America again.

The following is a comment by our Executive Director Mark Hansen, posted on an article written by Gary Hart titled “The National Budget and the National Interest”

After you read the comment below, follow the link above to join the discussion.

Senator Hart, I completely agree with you that “Budget accountability requires a profound sense of the national interest”. We part ways on how that national interest can be achieved. I don’t believe that the national interest can be achieved through the current political process as it occurs in the nation’s capital today. If you look at the reality of our situation today you see special interests and self interest consistently prevail through the political process at the expense of the national interest. I am not being cynical, just trying to be realistic. We have to see the world as it exists if we hope to change it . . . and change it we must. Not so much for ourselves as for our posterity. They will be stuck with the bill.

I don’t believe that this change can come from more public education by political leaders, simply because the majority of political leaders today don’t have the desire or the will to lead that kind of effort. There are a few exceptions in both parties, but it is going to take more than a few.

Change has to come from the hearts and minds of every American and then it will be reflected in the leaders they send to Washington. This is the challenge of our generation. We baby boomers have already been called the “me generation” by our parents because of the way we approached the first half of our lives. I sincerely pray that we will be known as something other than the “selfish generation” by our grandchildren as they look back on us.

I fear that what we are witnessing today is something that the founding fathers warned of . . . That this Republic cannot be sustained by any other than a religious and moral people. The decline of the national interest and rise of special/self interests may well be related to a change in this generation that violates that founding principle. Unless we change the course of our generation, it could well be the fatal flaw that results in the decline of our Republic.

I could say that we simply can’t let that happen. But then, how realistic is it to say that when the current reality is that we are letting it happen as we speak. Most of the founding fathers believed that Providence guided the founding and early years of our Republic. Join me and others in prayer that Divine Providence will once again guide and sustain this Republic. That there will be a revival of the national interest in the hearts and minds of all Americans, and that God will bless America again.
