Why the Name “WallBuilders”?

In the book of Nehemiah, the nation of Israel rallied together in a grassroots movement to help rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and thus restore stability, safety, and a promising future to that great city. WallBuilders has chosen this historical concept of “rebuilding the walls” to represent allegorically the call for citizen involvement in rebuilding America’s foundations. As is written in Psalm 11:3, “If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?”

WallBuilders’ Goals

Educating the Nation

WallBuilders develops materials to educate the public concerning America’s history and the laws and policies set in place by the Founding Fathers. WallBuilders aims to present an uncensored view of American history, thus not only giving meaning to history but also keeping it from becoming what Charles Coffin termed “an incomprehensible enigma.”

Providing Information

WallBuilders acts as a resource to those working toward improving federal, state, and local policies. They do this in part by providing direct assistance to our elected and appointed officials. This assistance takes several forms, including consulting with both legislators and judges, at their request, on legal and historical issues; testifying in state and federal hearings; providing research services; identifying and supporting sound legislation; and providing historical perspectives to current problems.

Encouraging Christians

WallBuilders encourages people of faith to become involved in the civic arena, whether through prayer or direct involvement. As President and gospel minister James A. Garfield stated, “Now, more than ever, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature… [I]f the next centennial does not find us a great nation… it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.”

Praise for the Print Edition

The seed [WallBuilders’ is] sowing is bringing a harvest of righteousness and countering a tide of ungodliness. Praise the Lord.

—Pastor Billy Joe Daugherty, Oklahoma

David’s commitment to quality research and to making America a better place for our children shines through in all of his professional activities.

—Bill Dannemeyer, former congressman, California

[WallBuilders’] materials were the turning point for me in becoming a Christian. . . . I feel like I have been granted a new life. . . . I thank God for [them] for influencing the way my life has changed.

—Gary Sterling, presentation attendee, Texas

While watching [WallBuilders’] tape The Spirit of the American Revolution, I wept thinking how far our nation has moved away from the concepts of the Founding Fathers. . . . What can we do to get back to the founding concepts and blessings that our forefathers received?

—Sam Brownback, U. S. Senator, Kansas

Seeing how far our country has moved from its beginnings and the original intent of our Founding Fathers has encouraged me to be very active politically to try to bring about a move back to our beginnings.

—Connie Potter, presentation attendee, Washington

David’s materials . . . have given me and other legislators the courage to defend the moral values that made our country great.

—Ellen Craswell, State Senator, Washington

About Wallbuilders

WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting American history and heroes with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built—a foundation which, according to WallBuilders, has in recent years been seriously attacked and undermined. In accord with what was stated by George Washington, WallBuilders believes that “the propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained.”
