America's Founding Fathers

1--George Washington- First President 1789-1797
He defined the role of the U.S. Presidency

2--John Adams- Second President 1797-1801
A fervent patriot, Adams served as a Massachusetts delegate to the Continental Congress, a diplomat in Europe, and the first Vice President under Washington

3--Thomas Jefferson- Third President 1801-1809
As the author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson pioneered the tenets of political and spiritual freedom, that America is built upon

4--James Madison- Forth president 1809-1817
One of the most influential founding fathers, Madison was the primary author, of the U.S. Constitution- including the first ten admendents (The Bill of Rights)

footnote-- That beautiful document, our Constitution is not a "living breathing document" and only a socialist/communist would say it is. The Bill of Rights include our Second admendment, The right to keep and bear arms. All the first ten admendments are individual rights, including the right to keep and bear arms- and only a socialist/communist would say it isn't a individual right. The Bill of Rights does not give you these rights, these rights were given to you, by God the creator of the heavens and earth. When you were born into a free country you automatically had these rights. These rights were written into the U.S. Constitution, to protect those rights you already had.
