The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
We must study and learn for ourselves the principles laid down in the Constitution... If we do not understand the role of government and how our rights are protected by the Constitution, we may accept programs or organizations that help erode our freedoms. An informed citizenry is the first line of defense against anarchy and tyranny.-Ezra Taft Benson, June 1986

We are told, however, that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty;" and as we posses the best Constitution and the best government in the world, let us preserve it, and transmit it intact, pure and unadulterated to our children.-John Taylor (The John Taylor Papers 1:285)

The only way we can keep our freedom is to work at it. Not some of us. All of us. Not some of the time, but all of the time.
So if you value your citizenship and you want to keep it for yourself and your children and their children, give it your faith, your belief, and give it your active support in civic affairs.-Spencer W. Kimball
