Citizens Defending Freedom
Join us as we engage in freedom. The generations before us sacrificed for our freedoms. Now it’s our turn to stand up. We simply stand for and defend the freedoms provided by the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Federalist Papers, and are looking for a multitude of citizens to become Ambassadors for Freedom. When we join together, we can become a mighty voice and force in our community. Citizens Defending Freedom will educate and empower you as you engage in your stand for freedom.
