Membership
Dear Swiss Patriot and Friend of Democracy: I am writing to invite you to become a member of the newly formed International Bundesbrief Society. Your background compliments those of our mission of fostering constitutional democracy worldwide. You may know the Bundesbrief of 1291AD (sister of the Magna Carta of 1215AD) as the founding document for the nascent Swiss nation and today it is a beacon of light to countries worldwide who seek liberty. The antique 715-year old Bundesbrief document left Switzerland for the first time on June 10th, 2006 and was displayed at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia--- birth city of the United States--- and triggered the founding of our International Bundesbrief Society. Honorary members of our International Bundesbrief Society include Faith Whittlesy, former US Ambassador to Switzerland and Arnold Koller, former Swiss Federal Councilor and "father of the modern Swiss Constitution." Billions of people around the world yearn for the freedoms we all enjoy in countries like Switzerland, the United States, Great Britain, Canada and the other great constitutional democracies. Yet, strive as they may, a mountain of barriers exist; barriers built by time and tyranny. However, we can help break these barriers by showing the way to constitutional democracy with the Bundesbrief as the messenger. Join our International Bundesbrief Society and pledge support for our world-wide mission of freedom, liberty, education, democracy, education, ethics, federalism, rule-of-law and fair dealing. As background, I am a dual US and Swiss citizen and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Public and Urban Policy in 1981 and a life member of our local New Helvetic Society. My relationship with family in Switzerland and America have inspired me to share with the world our unique and powerful democratic heritage. Your membership would kick off a rapidly growing local, national and international membership drive for patriots and law-abiding people with an affinity for Swiss democracy. In closing, let me say how pleased I would be to bring your names forward to the membership committee. Sincerely, Jim Scherrer, President and Founder |
