About FiveBoxes.com
There's an old saying: "There are five boxes to use in the preservation of liberty. The Soapbox, the Mailbox, the Ballot Box, the Jury Box, and the Ammo Box. Use in that order."
The purpose of FiveBoxes.com is to use The Soapbox to inform you, the reader, about what is happening in this country and around the world. The stories we will link to, and the articles we will write, have a singular purpose: to motivate you to act. In the coming days we will be adding the remaining Boxes to the site with useful information you can use to help you act.
This is not a "Republican versus Democrat" website, since people in both of those political parties have betrayed the trust we the people put in them when we elected them.
This website is about the preservation of liberty to all, something that every American should be able to agree upon.
A Letter from the Editor
Liberty. It is the cornerstone of our nation, the reason so many fought and died to create and preserve this great land. But today we find our liberties in peril.
Lawmakers are sacrificing our liberties for special-interest group dollars. Judges are sacrificing our liberties in the name of political party affiliations. The media is brainwashing us and our children to sacrifice liberty in the name of "political correctness."
The spirits of the founders of this land — who gave of their fortunes, their families, and their lives in the name of liberty — are crying out in the night. Can you hear them? "Awake! Awake from your slumber! The liberty we yearned for, that we fought and bled and died for... you are letting it slip away by drib and drab! Why have you let this happen?"
It is time that We The People take back the liberties that were given to us by our Creator and ensured to us by the blood of the brave souls who founded this great nation, the liberties that have been squandered by elected officials in the name of political power.
It is time that we, as Americans, take a stand. It is time that we wrest our liberties back from the tyrannical hands of the politicians who have betrayed our faith and our trust. It is time that the silent sit mute no more, for "all tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."
We have a responsibility to ourselves, to our families, to our children, and to our nation to act. And to protect the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our posterity, we must act now.
