Promote Liberty through the Declaration of Independence

[Gumba of Liberty]

I truly believe that one of the best ways to sway people toward liberty is to have them read the Declaration of Independence until they really understand it. Most people haven't even read it once. There are a few ways to motivate people to read it on a mass scale:

-Rand Paul, in his closing remarks, asks the American people to read the Declaration of Independence in a Presidential Debate. (I think this could win him the election if he plays it right.)

-Make the reading of the Declaration of Independence a tradition in your family on July 4.

-T-Shirts?

Yup, the DoI is a good read...and should be used as a basis for starting anew.

[Anti Federalist]

I whole heartedly concur.

We have suffered enough under these latter day Intolerable Acts.


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

[Czolgosz]

Amen.

and to provide new Guards for their future security.


and to accept the responsibility of guarding their own security as well as those they hold dear.


As long as there are new "guards," they will eventually become the same as the old "guards."
