September 7th Foundation For Freedom Conference - Orlando Florida

2024-08-19

Attention Patriots, faith-based leaders, Sheriffs, and elected officials: Join the Foundation for Freedom Conference in Orlando, Florida on September 7th. Over the past four years, our Constitutional Republic has faced severe challenges, and this conference is your call to action to revive it. Hear from speakers across the nation who will empower you to restore our country, one county at a time. Speakers include Sheriff Richard Mack, Alex Newman, Ben Peterson, Dr. Caleb Cooper, Sheriff Glenn Hamilton, Dr. John Littell, John Fischer, Shane Krauser, Esq., Eric Flowers and Kristina S Heuser, Esq.

Learn more about the conference on our website and sign up today! https://florida.foundationforfreedom.us/

We will delve into our Foundation for Freedom and discuss the numerous challenges facing Americans in 2024. Florida has shown a simple solution, with 44 of its 67 counties standing up to unconstitutional government overreach. County Supervisors and Sheriffs will share their outrage at the usurpation of our 1st, 5th, 9th, 10th, and 14th amendments during COVID, which inspired them to pass resolutions protecting their citizens’ Constitutional rights, declaring that their counties uphold the Constitution and God-given rights without infringement.

You’ll hear how a pastor, with his sheriff’s support, resisted the unconstitutional closure of his church during COVID and sent federal agents packing. Be inspired by a review of the Mack/Printz v. USA Supreme Court ruling that reaffirms our 10th Amendment rights as a defense against tyranny.

Don’t miss this opportunity at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel on Friday and Saturday, September 6th and 7th.

Register today and be part of the solution to restore our Country.

God Bless you and God Bless the USA! See you September 6th in Orlando!

About the Foundation For Freedom Conference

Throughout our nation’s history, the federal government has repeatedly attempted to encroach upon our Constitutionally protected, God-given rights. Through Acts, Executive Orders, Laws, Mandates, Proclamations, Supreme Court Rulings, and Treaties, the three branches of government have gradually reshaped our understanding of their roles and authority. Instead of “we the people” being the employers of our elected officials, we have been reduced to mere subjects under the centralized power of the federal government. We have failed to challenge unconstitutional actions and nullify these overreaches.

To understand the strategy behind the federal government’s usurpation of our Constitutional rights, one can look at the assault on our 2nd Amendment rights. The second amendment remained unchallenged from 1791 until 1934 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt introduced The National Firearms Act as part of his New Deal for Crime legislation. This was ostensibly to curb gangland crimes but was, in reality, the first attack on our right to bear arms. Over the last 90 years, federal and state governments have systematically attempted to disarm the American public under the guise of protection. This includes unconstitutional Acts like the Gun Control Act of 1968, The Brady Bill of 1993, and President Clinton’s Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.

A significant challenge to this disarmament came with the Supreme Court case of Mack/Prince v. USA, where two Sheriffs stood against the unconstitutional 1994 Act and won. This case ignited a national movement to safeguard our second amendment rights. In response, many counties, particularly in Florida, passed Resolutions to become Sanctuary Counties for the Second Amendment. These Resolutions aimed to position counties as protectors against state and federal overreach.

The importance of constitutional counties became even more evident during Covid and the 2020 election cycle. Our 1st Amendment rights of assembly were violated by shelter-in-place orders, and our 5th Amendment rights were compromised along with the 9th, 10th, and 14th Amendments due to arbitrary business closures and vaccine status discrimination. This pattern of federal overreach highlights the need for counties and their sheriffs to stand up and pass resolutions defending the entire Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

Our upcoming Foundation for Freedom Conference on September 6th & 7th in Orlando is a crucial call to action. Sheriffs, Elected Officials, and Pastors will share their experiences and strategies for upholding the Constitution, empowering attendees to enact similar resolutions in their counties. The conference will also address pressing national issues like the border crisis and election integrity. Don’t miss this chance to join the constitutional county movement and make a difference. Our Constitution is in jeopardy and requires immediate action to revive it. Our Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for their country, and now it’s our turn to do the same.

Register and become the solution to the restoration of our Country.

God Bless you and God Bless the USA! See you September 7th in Orlando
