"to keep ourselves, our children, our children's children and future generations free from danger, free from risk of loss, free from fear, anxiety, doubt and free from our government exposing us to harm, danger and unauthorized people who would listen and intercept us and our communications, free from our authority (power) becoming obsolete or non-existent by having something (this document) that promotes and contributes to our well-being, happiness and prosperity, ensuring that we are free from restriction and control, that we may express ourselves the way we choose to without unjust governmental control, without interference, undue regulation and without the government getting in our way, hiding from our sight or delaying or stopping our progress toward our goals,

"with the highest authority, and with no other being more powerful or having more authority, we cause this document to offer instruction and direct the course of government in the particular way it is written, these are the rules and guide we lay down, recognize and accept in our alliance to each other, the Constitution for the United States of America."

"You and I who are citizens of these States which have agreed and are in harmony with the following specific form of government, "

"so that we may proceed as specified in this document in shaping better instructions suited for our purpose and this alliance of people,

"to bring about law, and a procedure of law, making stable; fairness, equity, the qualities of moral rightness and being just,"

"to make sure and to secure that our families, households, lives and our country's internal affairs are free from commotion, disturbance, anxiety, tension… that they are composed, unclouded, fair and steady,"

"to plan ahead and prepare to resist the dangers, attacks, evils or harms that we face as a community,"

"to advocate and contribute to the common concerns we have involving our health, happiness, well-being and prosperity,"

Love the analogy. The most common rebuttal in conversation that I get, whether it's in person or online, is that I am anti-government (or anti-tax). Neither is further from the truth. I simply want both in their proper place, where they work for the people. Not restricting individuals, but following the purpose of the Constitution.

I broke the Preamble down into today's language for my son… Was thinking I should probably send it on to my local elected officials…

Interesting comparison. But , while towns, stores, etc. do eventually pack up Christmas and put it all away, we are stuck with the out of place federal government all year long, and year after year.
