\\
 "The framers of the American Constitution combined the best political ideas of the past with innovations in what The Federalist called an improved science of politics: federalism, separation of powers, and checks and balances. Doing so, they created a form of government which had, in the words of James Madison, "no model on the face of the earth."

Because men are not angels, government is necessary. Because no man stands to another as God to man, or as man to beast, government must be based on consent. The moral foundation of the Constitution is in the Declaration of Independence and its principle of equal rights. Under the Constitution, the government was to be limited.

 (Larry P Arn President Hillsdale College, Forward to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.)

**In 2020, our challenge and our mission as COS volunteers and self-governing activists is to ensure that our framers' model of liberty survives and thrives for all time.**

During these politically turbulent times, it is not always easy to stand up, to stand out, to speak up, to take action, to be courageous!

I believe it is not an exaggeration to say that each of you who signed the petition, volunteer, accept team and leadership roles, show up, and participate, are the "framers" of our country's future.

Thank you for being a part of the COS Florida team!
