This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the Faith and Freedom Conference in Washington D.C. This inspiring organization identifies with the values and issues in America, especially the battle regarding the right to life and the promoting of the pro-family stance within American society. From various speakers, such as Congressman Alan West, came the resounding idea of not forgetting the origins of the American people, and the values that set our nation on the path to greatness. The call to be strong in the defense of our morals, to uphold our Constitution and to never fear in the unveiling of our Christian faith. President Reagan once referenced the United States being a light of liberty and freedom to all other nations, and if our light were to die out, then so goes the hopes of democracy to other nations.
Another impressive speaker, Michelle Bachmann, passionately advocated for the ideals of the modern American woman. As the mother of five, Mrs. Bachmann defends the right to life and the institution of the family, especially the sanctity of marriage. The defense of marriage has been yet another battle fought by stalwart conservatives, such as Representative Bachmann, who, beginning in 2003, had pushed against the tide to redefine marriage. However, with her intense work and that of like-minded individuals, the definition of traditional marriage won out in an overwhelming fashion.
These battles are part of the war the secular society has waged on the ideals of conservative America, that is, the ideals our great nation was founded upon; Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is the disregard for these inalienable rights that has led to fight which our generation will be a vital part of. We must stand for the dignity of human life, from the defenseless baby to the protection of the sacrament of marriage. It is under the leadership and inspiration of leaders, such as Representatives West and Bauchmann, that my generation is correctly informed so that we too can participate in the restoration of a moral society.
