Now, what is the Tree of Liberty Society? To better understand the name and what we're about, it's important to go back to the founding generation and the symbol of the Liberty Tree. The Liberty Tree was far more than a patriotic symbol. It functioned as a physical rallying point for popular resistance, a kind of grassroots command center for what contemporaries openly called "rebellion." Even through today's standards, many of the ideas and actions associated with the Liberty Tree would be labeled extreme, radical, or even insurrectionary. The Liberty Tree was most famously an elm tree in Boston beginning in 1765 during the Resistance to the Stamp Act.

It became the meeting place for the Sons of Liberty and a symbol of direct popular sovereignty. The idea that the people themselves, not institutions, were the ultimate authority. Similar Liberty Trees appeared throughout the colonies, each serving as a local note of resistance. The Liberty Tree represented a shift from petitioning authority to defying it. Before 1765, colonists protested largely through legal petitions, pamphlets, and appeals to parliament. After the Liberty Tree, protest became public, coercive, and sometimes violent. The people, not corrupted courts or legislatures, became the primary enforcer of political norms. The Liberty Tree symbolized the belief that laws violating natural rights were not binding, that obedience to unjust laws was morally wrong.

This included refusal to comply with taxes, obstruction of courts, intimidation of judges and customs officials. Colonists used the Liberty Tree for public pledges to resist parliament, for burning of British symbols, and ceremonial declarations of loyalty to liberty over law. The colonists were acting under natural law, the ancient English right of resistance, and the belief that government existed only to secure life, liberty, and property, and that once government violated those ends, it was considered not merely corrupt, but actually illegitimate. Now today, the Tree of Liberty Society believes that American support of the Founders' cause shouldn't be merely in terms of the results, but in the principles that brought those results about, and seek to read what the Founders read, and do what the Founders did, so that we can bring about what the Founders did.

We reject libertinism though, or the false freedom of "do as thou wilt," but embrace the principles of liberty in the fashion of the Founders, in the spirit of liberty under God and His laws. As we build strength with your help, we will be in the same position of the Founders to throw off the chains of tyranny, and again have a biblically moral and free society. Now how do we do this? We do it through the printing, and publishing, and distribution of books, production of videos, pamphlets, exclusive member trainings, interviews, public outreach, public gatherings and presentations, and just so much more. So I want to ask you, will you show the courage of the Founding Fathers and join with us today?
