David Barton is the Founder and President of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization that presents America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on our moral, religious and constitutional heritage.
WallBuilders is a name taken from the Old Testament writings of Nehemiah, who led a grassroots movement to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and restore its strength and honor. In the same way, WallBuilders seeks to energize the grassroots today to become involved in strengthening their communities, states, and nation.
David is the author of numerous best-selling books, with the subjects being drawn largely from his massive library of tens of thousands of original writings from the Founding Era. He also addresses well over 400 groups each year.
His exhaustive research has rendered him an expert in historical and constitutional issues and he serves as a consultant to state and federal legislators, has participated in several cases at the Supreme Court, was involved in the development of the History/Social Studies standards for states such as Texas and California, and has helped produce history textbooks now used in schools across the nation.
A national news organization has described him as "America's historian," and Time Magazine called him "a hero to millions - including some powerful politicians. In fact, Time Magazine named him as one of America's 25 most influential evangelicals.
David has received numerous national and international awards, including Who's Who in Education, DAR's Medal of Honor, and the George Washington Honor Medal from the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge. His work in media has merited several Angel Awards, Telly Awards, and the Dove Foundation Seal of Approval.
Being Paulbears for Ron Paul, they should embrace Barton for his historical accuracy on issues of the Constitution and other founding documents and original historical writings from the founders. The problem seems to be that they don't like the Christianity that engulfs those documents and writings from the men, (and women), who founded this great country. Barton literally owns many of the documents, books and even one of the first 'United States Senate Approved' Bibles that he speaks and writes about. What more proof is needed.
"Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any others."
John Adams.
Some people just can't stand that and other truths about our founding so we have revisionist history taught in schools now. A college degree really means nothing anymore when it comes to history.
