"Over the past few decades, we have been taught to accept clear violations of vital constitutional rights, so much so that we have become comfortable signing them away without any resistance."

Eleanor McKloskey

$5,000 Winner!
"As I have learned more about the Constitution and studied our nation's history, I now understand that these rights are not automatic but earned; they endure only if each generation chooses to value, defend them, and live them out."

Joseph Vondrachek

$3,000 Winner!
"When you are raised in a free country, you are more inclined to take your liberty for granted. This complacency can be fatal for a free nation. I was blessed to see my grandfather's love for America, and I intend to pass this love onto my children."

William Erhart

$2,000 Winner!
"This is the responsibility we all share: to live out the values we claim to uphold. I must, and we must, all be willing to pay the price for freedom, for in every generation, someone must sacrifice for it."

"This program has helped open my eyes to what is really happening in the country today, as well as provided me with a more in-depth understanding of the founding of America, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution."

Briley Jones

$2,000 Winner!
"Since being a representative government was one of the distinguishing marks of the American founding, anything that strays from this precedent ought to be struck down as unaligned with the Founder's vision for our nation."

Samuel Korkus

$2,000 Winner!
"In a democracy, as the founding fathers knew, what threatens freedom the most is factions popping up which, in the strength of their numbers, subjugate the rest by their voting power. For this reason, the United States was built as a Republic."

Alexander Krajewski

$2,000 Winner!
"There is no greater achievement than to execute the plan that God has for you, and it is my belief that preserving Constitutional freedom in America is an essential part of that for every American."

Sara Miller

$2,000 Winner!
"America is built on the voices of its people, our representation, democracy and liberty. When we do not speak up, we lose a part of ourselves, just as we do when we choose not to vote."

Holden Mora

$2,000 Winner!
"The Founders' vision of the American state is one that is much friendlier to the pursuit of happiness—and not only temporal prosperity, but also eternal happiness in Heaven—than the tyranny of modern bureaucracy."

Edward Onks

$2,000 Winner!
"Silence gives consent. This quote by Plato, while short, is a very important concept. It means that I am just as responsible for what I allow to happen by my silence as I am when I voice my opinion. If I stand by while radicals send our country down a path of no return, my inaction makes me complicit."

Sofia Schisler

$2,000 Winner!
"Americans must remain informed and engaged, and elect leaders who are committed to upholding the Constitution rather than reshaping it to fit modern political agendas."

Day Schual

$2,000 Winner!
"As a free people, we must care for our land. No one else is going to do it for us; when we founded our country, we took on that responsibility."

Anya Smith

$2,000 Winner!
"Through a deep understanding of our freedoms, I can recognize when they are being infringed upon, and realize when I must take action."

Mary Solyman

$2,000 Winner!
"If something was true about human nature and rights in 1776, it remains true today. The Founders didn’t write for a moment in time; they wrote for mankind."

Grace Wolf

$2,000 Winner!
"One great way to personally help preserve freedom in America is by learning about our foundations and our history; by having a greater understanding of the very document that America is built upon."
