MD Civics Central
Here are some recommended off-site resources to help local Marylanders with being involved and aware in accordance with our Christian Heritage:
The Maryland Freedom Caucus is the 13th state caucus formed under the State Freedom Caucus Network. It was founded by elected officials who believe in defending freedom, individual liberty, and constitutional government for the people of Maryland. Our members are committed to being bold standard bearers for shared Conservative values and principled leadership in the Maryland General Assembly.
We are honored to have the strong support of the U.S. Congressional House Freedom Caucus and its members as we fight for Marylanders at the state level.
Convention of States Action is a grassroots movement to call a convention of states under Article V of the Constitution in order to propose amendments to the Constitution that limit the power and scope of the federal government.
Per Article V of the Constitution, two-thirds of the state legislatures must pass resolutions calling for a convention of states. These resolutions are counted by Congress to determine if there are enough to call for a convention. These resolutions must be worded identically to prevent any legal challenges when they are counted.
Convention of States Action is taking a deliberate and coordinated approach to organize efforts to pass identical resolutions in state legislatures. As of today, our resolution has been passed in 19 state legislatures. We are almost halfway to the necessary 34 states!
Each state must pass their own resolution and so each state has its own grassroots volunteer team. In Maryland, we are powered 100% by volunteers. We are regular folks with regular jobs and we live in the same neighborhoods as you. Check out the Our Team page to get connected with us!
Convention of States Action is a Section 501(c)(4) non-profit organization. We are a non-partisan movement!
Maryland Right to Life makes it easy for citizens to become actively involved in the state legislative session each year from January through April which may include contacting elected officials or providing written or oral testimony before the Maryland General Assembly. There are several ways citizens can help make a positive difference in the state of Maryland regarding pro-life public policy.

Being Biblical Citizens Requires a Knowledge of Biblical Principles & How to Apply Them
Throughout our history, American pastors & churches have played a vital role in establishing and preserving religious and civil liberty.
Being “salt & light” requires knowledge of the culture we are attempting to preserve as we fulfill the Great Commission to “make disciples.”
Being Biblical Citizens requires a knowledge of Biblical principles and how to apply them to the world around us. You and your church can be the catalyst for restoring Biblical values in your neighborhood, State, and Nation.
THE FIGHT CONTINUES.
Charlie Kirk poured his life into building a movement rooted in faith, freedom, and love of country. He believed America’s future depended on raising up a generation who would NEVER SURRENDER.
That vision is alive and stronger than ever. Prayers are rising, support is pouring in, millions of students are rallying, volunteers are flooding in, and vigils are filling churches and schools across the nation. The fire Charlie lit is burning brighter than ever.
Now the responsibility is ours. We will honor his legacy by pressing forward—not slowing down, not surrendering. This is not a time to preserve what was built. This is the time to fight harder, grow faster, and unleash the true power of the grassroots machine Charlie created.
We will make Charlie proud. We will defend America’s future. And we will not stop until freedom prevails.

WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting America’s forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built – a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined. In accord with what was so accurately stated by George Washington, we believe that “the propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained.”
The United States Constitution was designed to secure the natural rights proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence. Signed by Constitutional Convention delegates on September 17, 1787—Constitution Day—it was ratified by the American people and remains the most enduring and successful constitution in history.
In this twelve-lecture course, students will examine the political theory of the American Founding and subsequent challenges to that theory throughout American history. Topics covered in this course include: the natural rights theory of the Founding, the meaning of the Declaration and the Constitution, the crisis of the Civil War, the Progressive rejection of the Founding, and the nature and form of modern liberalism.
