Why We Exist

MISSION

We are dedicated to the education and awareness of local and federal government policies which results in a stronger, independent local government and a limited, constitutionally-sound federal government.

Founders’ Intent does not take an active role endorsing or financially supporting candidates or political parties, nor does FI support agencies that conduct this business. This does not prohibit FI from receiving financial support from other organizations. The mission is simple, the vision defined, and the solution surrounds us.
 

THE PROBLEM

Our federal government today grossly misrepresents the original intent established in the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. And there’s something you can do about it.

You play a role in your local community, and your local community influences local government, which influences state government, which has the potential to steer the federal ship in its proper direction.

  • The EPA mandates ethanol and incandescent light bulbs.
  • The U.S Congress enacts a one-size, standardized bill, “No Child Left Behind,” for your children’s education.
  • The Affordable Health Care for America Act forces the financial hand of the private sector.

The Obama Administration and his complicit majority Party hasn’t passed a federal budget in over 1,000 days. Our national debt surpassed $15 trillion in November of 2010, and currently on pace to grow by $100 billion each month. Our nation’s total liabilities included those that are unfunded– Social Security, Medicare and federal pensions— equals $99 trillion. This amount exceeds the entire net asset base of the United States, which caps out at $78 trillion.

Our southern states suffer in the face of Federal policies rooted in compassion and amnesty, leading to unnecessary cultural, security and economic struggles and the inability to protect themselves.

But, we the people have been given the Tenth Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
 

THE ORIGINAL INTENT

Our Constitution, written in approximately 116 days and with 4,543 words, pales in comparison to many of today’s education, health and energy bills. The Affordable Health Care for America Act, better known as Obama Care, was written in approximately 165 days, but it stretched 363,000 words.

We the people have a problem. But we the people hold a crucial key to the solution: the Tenth Amendment.

What Founders’ Intent provides is a solution to the problem.  A solution at the local level that has the potential to transform our government on the federal level.
 

THE SOLUTION

Founders’ Intent has a clear mission:

“We are dedicated to the education and awareness of local and federal government policies which results in a stronger, independent local government and a limited, constitutionally-sound federal government.”

Members of Founders’ Intent aim to educate people by speaking at locally-sponsored seminars, research and write content-rich white papers and facilitate community activism through mainstream and independent media venues.

Founders’ Intent Executive Director, Edward Willing, is a guest speaker at educators conferences, political gatherings and special seminar events across the country. FoundersIntent.org will provide more information regarding future events. The website also provides contact information and ways to get involved.

We welcome anyone curious about our nation’s past and concerned about our future to participate and become fellow Architects in building a network of well-educated, fully-equipped defenders of true liberty and a successful American culture; one that can again be an example for the world to follow.
