Preamble to the Bill of Rights
THE Conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution
We are seeing the realization of Jefferson's prophecy:
"The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in... the federal judiciary; an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States."
So on this Anniversary Day, "what are we to do?" Well, to begin with, get and read a full copy of the Bill of Rights. Read and understand its original intent. Share these ideas with others. Suggest that the federal courts and federal government are out of control and have usurped power that is not theirs to take. And when the fight comes to your door in your local school or local community, get together with others and take the shield of the Bill of Rights and take a stand.

The Bill of Rights it turns out is not so much a declaration of rights at all,
but a further set of declarations of prohibitions against the federal government.
The Founders knew the greatest threat to the liberty of the people was a national government
that would constantly attempt to expand its powers. They did not want the federal government to serve
as "watchdog" over the States. Their view was that each State would guard the freedom of their people
and when this did not happen that pressure would build up at a State level and that correction would come
at a State level without interference from the federal government...
