The Founders in their own words, the documents that anchor American Liberty, and the references we keep for every Patriot.

Today’s Quote
“
Speak seldom, but to important subjects, except such as particularly relate to your constituents, and, in the former case, make yourself perfectly master of the subject.
George Washington (1787)

Every weekday, The Patriot Post publishes a quotation from America’s Founders or the great Patriots who followed them. The Founders’ Quote database keeps every one — more than 1,200 quotations, each filed by its author and its subject, and searchable by keyword, author or category.

The documents that anchor American Liberty

The full text of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the Federalist Papers, and the charters, speeches, letters and party platforms that shaped the Republic — reaching back to Hammurabi and the Magna Carta and forward to the present day. The library’s more than 400 documents are arranged across 11 eras, each in the order they were written, and the long-form works can be read chapter by chapter.

Pencil portrait of Ronald Reagan
Ronald Wilson Reagan · 1911–2004

The greatest president of the 20th century

President Reagan was the inspiration for The Patriot Post. Reagan 2020 is our collection of works documenting his extraordinary life and leadership: his speeches, from “A Time for Choosing” and his First Inaugural to “We Will Be a City Upon a Hill,” his record in office, biographies of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, and the tributes, eulogies and remembrances that followed his death in 2004.

“… the preservation and enhancement of the values that strengthen and protect individual freedom, family life, communities and neighborhoods and the liberty of our beloved nation should be at the heart of any legislative or political program presented to the American people.”

Colored-pencil drawing of the Stars and Stripes

Old Glory, and how to honor it

Everything the Flag Code asks of those who fly the Stars and Stripes, in one place: the etiquette of the flag; the protocol for displaying it outdoors and indoors, at half-staff, in a parade and alongside other flags; how to retire a worn flag with dignity; and the history of the flag itself.

Emergency Preparedness and Response Planning Committee

A plan for your family, before you need one

Prepared for The Patriot Post by our Emergency Preparedness and Response Planning Committee: a two-step action plan for your family, guides to sheltering in place and to the supplies to keep on hand, briefings on chemical, biological, radiological and electromagnetic-pulse threats and on pandemics, and the emergency contacts you will want close by. Print them and keep them — you will likely not have the Internet when you need them.
