The Declaration of Independence

Friday is Independence Day, and we have a patriotic idea to pass along to you from one of our members.

Jeffrey thinks it would be great if more Americans actually read the Declaration of Independence on July 4th - and so do we!

It's easy to lose touch with the founding ideas that were deeded to us by those who paid such a high price for our independence.

So this Friday, we encourage you to read the Declaration, and better yet, read it aloud with your family and some friends.

To print out a copy of the Declaration, please click here.

If you aren't able to download this pdf image, we encourage you to do an online search and find one to print out.

Or perhaps, like me, you have a copy on a bookshelf in your home.

To whet your appetite, here is the concluding passage of one of the most noble documents ever penned, the Declaration of Independence:

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Here is wishing you and yours a happy, safe, and patriotic 4th of July!
