About the Author

I am a 68 year old citizen of the United States who is concerned about the expansion and transformation of our federal government. I am concerned about the way the United States is being consolidated into one national State, no longer under the control of a limited federal government, but under the absolute control of an unlimited national government.

Hello, my name is Stephen L. Corrigan. I live in Cincinnati , Ohio. God has blessed me with a lovely wife, 5 beautiful daughters, and 14 grandchildren.

I have a B. A. Degree in Art from Missouri Western University and a Master's Degree in Religious Education from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I have served in the U. S. Navy for 6 years on conventional submarines.

While in college, I was taught a very important fact. I learned that God had designed man to think in pictures not words. For the past 18 years I have used that knowledge to create a unique way of drawing mechanical illustrations to explain the principles used by the founders. It is based upon the principle identified by the founders in "The Declaration of Independence" as "The Laws of Nature".

My daughters, who are all now married, are striving with their husbands to live by the standards established by God in His Holy Word. For more than 40 years I have seen the liberties that God has given to me and my fellow Americans being replaced by civil rights issued by our federal government.

I have come to the conclusion that if my children and their families are to have the same liberties that I have had, to raise their families under God's standards and to raise their children to fear God more than their federal government, I must do my best to make sure the context of the founding principles are kept alive and practiced by the men and women within our justice system.

My goal, with God's help, is to teach (1) that our nation is a "free Protestant" confederacy (an association of individual free States), not a democracy existing as one consolidated State and (2) that all constitutions, in such a confederacy, are to be seen as instruments to identify the rights and limits of government at the different levels, not the liberties of a free People.
