    Citizens for a James Madison Memorial

    James Madison, the fourth president of the United States, is the single most important figure for the idea of religious freedom in America. He is the father of the cons ution; he helped pass the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, ins uted the Bill of Rights, and stopped religious tests being mandatory for taking public office.

    Washington has a monument. Lincoln has a memorial. And Adams has a show on HBO, but the key figure for our current way of life is often ignored.

    No other founding father has done more for religious freedom in America, including the worldviews of humanists, than President Madison. He is a fascinating figure that has been overlooked and should have recognition. He is the most responsible for the religious freedom that our society has today.

    I encourage all of you to join the Facebook group here. Share this post and the Citizens for James Madison Memorial on your Facebook. Right now it is about awareness. The goal down the road is to have a memorial designed, funded, and built. Thanks for your support.

    Just name a high school after him and let it become the highest drug used school in SA, to memorialize him.

    He has a state capital named after him. Whenever UW has a home game televised, we honor James Madison.

    You must be a bag southsider. Good restaurants but that's it. Not bad traffic since no one lives there.

    They have alot more and better houses around there, so maybe it's not that bad anymore. When I went there, c/o 99, it wasn't bad but there was alot of drugs. If I had kids in hs, and lived in sa, I wouldn't worry about them going there.
