Free America

          I don't know about you, but I haven't read or studied The Declaration of Independence , Constitution , or the Bill of Rights in a very long time. You can't protect what you have, if you don't know what you have as an American. 

What's sad are the children who aren't even taught about these documents, and how very revolutionary they really were then, all the way up to today.

So I hopped on the internet and looked up the US National Archives, www.archives.gov, and printed off these documents.

So here is the first part of The Declaration of Independence.

                          The Declaration of Independence

                                In Congress, July 4, 1776

       The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

     When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Wow............... these early American's were pissed off........

We were English before the American Revolution.... and we were proud of our English roots. So to do something like this......... it was serious.  We didn't want to rebel.... we just wanted to be treated like every other Englishman.  But King George didn't want to hear it...... and so, we had to show him WHAT ENGLISHMEN WERE CAPABLE OF.
