The national Community Rghts movement represents a local level cultural and legal strategy for communities, both conservative and progressive, it's not about ideology, to rein in corporate power.

Thomas Linzey explains exactly why the constitution is not what people are talking about when they say "constitution", they mean the bill of rights, which had to be rammed down the throats of the "founding fathers" by the people.
