Building Strong Families and Communities through Lawful Self-Governance

Zion is built one act of compassion at a time — freely and unconditionally.

Friends of the Original Constitution (FOTOC) is a community-driven organization dedicated to helping individuals and families strengthen independence, responsibility, and well-being through lawful, peaceful, and voluntary means.

Our work is rooted in enduring constitutional principles — personal liberty, accountability, cooperation, and respect for human dignity — and in the understanding that legitimate authority begins with the people themselves.

Why We Exist

Across the country, many people feel increasing pressure on their families, finances, and communities. Systems meant to provide stability can feel distant, impersonal, or difficult to navigate.

FOTOC exists to support people who are seeking practical, lawful ways to:

• Strengthen family stability
• Increase personal responsibility and resilience
• Rebuild neighbor-to-neighbor cooperation
• Live with greater clarity, integrity, and purpose

We focus on constructive solutions — not conflict — and on strengthening individuals and communities through conscious choice, personal responsibility, and voluntary cooperation.

A Peaceful and Lawful Path Forward

We believe meaningful and lasting change begins with individuals choosing to live intentionally — in alignment with conscience, original constitutional principles, and in service to one another.

FOTOC encourages:

• Lawful self-governance
• Voluntary association
• Community stewardship
• Mutual aid rooted in dignity, not dependency

There is no call to disruption, rebellion, or withdrawal from society. Our mission is to support people as communities grow more stable, cooperative, and unified over time through lawful, deliberate, and peaceful means.

The Declaration of Restoration

The Declaration of Restoration serves as a foundational affirmation of values and intent. It reflects a personal commitment to responsibility, constitutional principles, and peaceful civic engagement, grounded in the understanding that authority originates with the people themselves.

The Declaration is written intentionally and plainly. It is meant to be read thoughtfully and affirmed voluntarily by those who feel aligned with its principles.

Building Community Together

FOTOC is being built by people who are willing to contribute time, skills, compassion, and experience in service to others.

Our growing community includes:

• Families
• Volunteers
• Educators
• Service-minded professionals
• Local organizers

Participation is always voluntary, and roles develop gradually as programs, resources, and lawful pathways come online.

Help and Support (In Development)

When individuals or families face hardship — financial, housing-related, medical, or personal — isolation often makes challenges worse.

FOTOC is in the process of building community-based pathways to help connect people with:

• Local resources
• Volunteer assistance
• Peer and community support

As these services are developed, all assistance will be offered respectfully, without shame or coercion, and with a focus on long-term stability.
