description: Page 13 - Our state and federal constitutions go hand in hand to lay the foundation of our liberties. In the name of living and breathing constitutional ideology we have become a litigious legal society.

Our founding is based on a solid and unmovable belief in the preservation of the right of ordinary people to be the primary source of power given by God.

This week, the people in Virginia spoke and no amount of money could stop them. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor suffered a stinging loss to primary challenger Dave Brat.
