We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God,
to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today,
that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you,
because you obey the voice of the Lord your God”
Deuteronomy 28:1-2
We sing: God, Bless America!
While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, as we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
God bless America, land that I love!
Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with the light from above,
From the mountains to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam,
God bless America, my home sweet home!
From the mountains to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam,
God bless America, my home sweet home!
God bless America, my home sweet home!

Strategic Focus for Tuesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
The Battle for the Survival of the Nation! – Part 22
The President’s Advisory 1776 Commission Report – Part 1
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.”
Psalm 33:12
The greatness in America’s founding is that it was not we who chose Him, but He Who chose us. We simply responded to His invitation…which included a destiny that would change the world! Today, as we sing out: “God, bless America!” we invite our people to once again respond to the alternate cry: “America, Bless God!” Pray.
The President’s Advisory 1776 Commission Report
Takes Historic and Scholarly Step to Restore Understanding of the Greatness of the American Founding
Today, we are beginning a new series. We will be reading and coming into agreement with the report of the members of the 1776 Commission, established by President Trump. In their one and only report, the 1776 Commission presents a definitive chronicle of America’s founding. It is a powerful description of the effect the principles of the Declaration of Independence have had on this Nation’s history.
It is also a conclusive rebuttal of the left’s reckless “re-education” attempts that seek to:
- reframe and rewrite American history;
- propagandize America’s youth with the hateful idea that the United States is not an exceptional country but an evil one.
Pray.
The 1776 Commission was comprised of some of America’s most distinguished scholars and historians, including Dr. Carol Swain, who was our guest speaker on last Friday evening’s SHABBAT Call. After hearing her story about the work of the Commission, we decided to do an in-depth study of the report, praying into it as we read.
Anticipating that they would be disbanded immediately after Joe Biden entered the White House on January 20, 2021 (which they were), the 1776 Commission released their report on January 18th, 2021. It was then republished in March 2021 to include the Preface, Notes and commentary by Commission members Larry P. Arnn, Carol Swain, and Matthew Spalding. Today, we begin with the Preface to what may well become one of our nation’s historic documents!
We pray:
- That as we read and pray into the text of this document, our hope will be lifted, our hearts will rejoice, as the Spirit of the American Revolution infuses and strengthens us for the battles that lie ahead. Pray.
This is the overview of what we will be considering in the coming days:

PREFACE
THE 1776 REPORT proceeds from a commission announced on Constitution Day, September 17, 2020. Its purpose was to advise the President of the United States and the nation about how to prepare for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in July 2026.
The Commission’s first responsibility was to produce a report summarizing in accurate terms the principles of the American founding and how these principles have shaped our country. Accurate and honest telling of the American story being vital to well-being and unity of the nation, the Commission was also directed to consider ways to recover and sustain an excellent teaching of American history. Pray.
While we are partisans of the cause of our country, this report is not a partisan effort. Most of the history set forth in this report enjoys broad agreement among scholars. Our task was to summarize that history, make note of some contentious issues, and ponder how the story of the American Founding might be best taught to our students. We composed this report and submitted it to one President with the full intent to advise that one, or the next, whatever might come.
We offered The 1776 Report to a deeply divided nation. Our divisions today are not so grave as the worst, which came in the American Revolution and again in the Civil War, but as in those times, we differ greatly about the central meaning of our nation. And because the principles of the nation make claims about the nature of human beings and about human liberty, we are arguing today about the basis of everything human. Pray.
The principles and events of the American founding are a matter of history. The way to settle disputes about them is to examine the historical record. In that record will be found the truth about what America’s founders meant, intended, and envisioned in establishing this nation. This report calls for such an examination.
The purpose of studying history, like education itself, is the pursuit of truth. We today may differ from the founders very much, but that does not change what they thought and did, and to know what they thought and did provides us context and likely direction for our time. Pray.
The 1776 Report rehearses some evident and essential features of American history. It recommends that these become the framework through which American history is taught. These features include the majesty and the unique nature of the Declaration of Independence, the central document of our nation’s founding that, despite its practical purposes, articulates universal principles of freedom and equality that are true for all men and all time. They include the unsurpassed success of the Constitution of the United States, the basis of a representative form of government wherein the people are the sovereign over a government to which they have vested the authority to secure their rights according to their consent. Pray.
They also include the imperfections in and stains upon American history, small and large, especially the blight of slavery and race discrimination, and they include the obvious fact that those particular practices are condemned with eloquence and lasting fame by the Declaration of Independence. Pray.
They include the story of the greatest Americans, the ones who fought against despotism from Bunker Hill to Yorktown, who fought against slavery at Gettysburg and Cold Harbor and hundreds of other battles; against tyranny at Belleau Wood, Omaha Beach, and Pork Chop Hill. They include especially those who perished in all those battles, and in battles still today, and those yet to come. Pray.
They include those who led those soldiers and helped to inspire their sacrifices, statesmen like Washington and Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan; civic leaders like Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Booker T. Washington, and Martin Luther King, Jr. They include the men and women of every color who fought to protect the rights of all. They were all, black and white, men and women, devoted to the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. Pray.
This is the story of America, one of the most consequential and inspiring stories in human history. It is the only basis upon which we can unite as a people, for it is our story. It makes us a people, and ennobles our common purpose. We should recover it, teach it, and revere it. Pray.
The 1776 Report was submitted to the President and released as a public document on January 18, 2021—Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The President’s Advisory 1776 Commission was abolished by an Executive Order of the next President on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2021. Pray.
Herein is the original text of The 1776 Report, with the addition of footnotes and some explanatory commentary to support our work. It was written not for professional historians as much as for the American people. We intend it to inform but also to inspire. We encourage you to read it for yourself.
While a Commission can be formally dissolved, and a document may be removed from a website, these principles and our history can never be erased. We will all…indeed, all of us must…continue to work together to perpetuate and defend these principles and the free life they protect.
We pray:
- That as we read and pray through this document, that the Spirit of the American Revolution will be activated in each of our hearts and flood our souls. Pray.
- That this document will confirm the truth about our history, so that truth will set us free and bring new understanding and liberty those to whom we, in turn, impart it! Pray.
- That we will rise up as our Founding Fathers did, to see that nation remains ONE NATION UNDER GOD, from the despotism and tyranny that has attempted to destroy it! Pray.
- That President Trump will continue to communicate with and encourage the people of this nation, reminding us that God’s promise stands and that we have a “future full of hope.” Pray.
- That he will soon emerge to take his rightful place as the duly elected president of our nation! Pray.
- That he will respond to our letter and set an “appointed place” and an “appointed time” for our meeting with him! Pray.
