The People’s Rights…

WHAT ARE OUR NATURAL RIGHTS?
The rights of citizens are explicitly explained and affirmed in the governing documents of the United States as well as each State of the union:
>> The U.S. Constitution
>> The Bill of Rights
>> U.S. State Constitutions (choose yours)

We encourage you to review the salient points in these documents from time to time – and ensure that your representatives are advocating for the protection of our health, safety, property rights, natural resources and general quality of life.
