Invitation To Publish
Sustaining the rule of law through public legal education must become an essential
function of American life, yet try to name just one American institution
that is teaching the rule of law to the people ... what it is and what it requires in the
way of due process protections.
The Rule of Law is sometimes capitalized thusly to emphasize
its importance, yet you won't find one in a hundred outside the closed society of lawyers
that can begin to tell you what it is and, sadly, many lawyers and even a few presiding
judges lack any sufficient understanding of the rule of law and due process.
It's as if nobody cares what rock the Statue of Liberty is
standing on, i.e., the foundation of laws established according to fixed principles
approved by the common man ... dare we say "self-evident truths"? The people
praise the lamp she lifts in New York's harbor but ignore the book under her arm. Instead
of making things better through law and order, using the common-sense tools available for
us all to use, they damn and condemn the system ... because they do not know. Some
intentionally harm others ... because they do not know.
Join us in the task of educating people in the non-partisan rules
of court that make liberty secure, teaching everyone the fundamental principles by which
"good" can always be made to prevail and conflicts can be resolved peacefully.
The rule of law and due process are powerful principles not well
enough understood in these times. Some of us must care enough to insure that the children
of this generation learn what it is that sustains their liberties. We can utilize
these justice-establishing principles to secure for ourselves and for our posterity
the blessings of human liberty and a stronger, more stable peace. You are needed in this
work. Your written thoughts are invited.
Please write explaining the rule of law and the principles of due
process in your own words. Poems will not be rejected. Essays of any length will be
considered. If you do caricatures or draw cartoons send them in to teach the rule of law
and/or the principles of due process. Please get started at once. No idea is too silly or
too outrageous. Together we can publish the truths by which future generations can survive
the present threat of ethical disintegration. We can unite future generations in the most
important cause of all.
Time is of the essence, however. Do your part. Start today.
Encourage others to get involved. Use your own ideas to explain the principles of due
process and the rule of law from your own unique point of view. Speak to
"everyone". Write or draw. Make it clear. Be humorous. Be friendly. Give hope.

Urge people to understand that guns alone never free people. They
oftener enslave.
Words are the things that make liberty possible.
Here's your chance to use yours.
