Declaration of Independence

The text to the Declaration of Independence

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

hen 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.

i have to memorize the first pragraph for class and say it in class jeesh so much work....oh and i had to memorize the PREAMBLE

[rjanis123]

@jojobo11 there's a cute little video that might help with the preamble ... I'm sure it's here on you tube .. search for "Schoolhouse Rock Preamble" ... good luck.. but, more importantly than just memorizing the words, try to take some time to soak up their meaning

I dunno Ron, it is easy to see how are rights are violated to the point of no return, but as long as we can band together and speak out against it, we still have a grain of ourselves, and from that, we canmove mountains if we must..

as ling as we can talk we are free.... however long we can?

Temple, I don't know if you're a movie guy or not.. but in the Lord of the Rings Gimley says just before they decide to storm Helm's deep, "Overwhelming odds, Certainty of defeat... what are we waiting for" and with that level of moxie they are successful ... that's sort of how I feel .. whatever the fight, whatever the odds, when I am called upon, I will answer that call... but, that's just how I am, and always have been

Peace :):)

@rjanis123 they only have the preamble for the constitution :(

[mariacazares1]

@jojobo11 i have to do the same thing and im only in 8th grade

[GoneTemple]

I am not a movie guy at all anymore... they stopped making them about 15 years ago... now they just remake them with a few exceptions, and LOTR is one of those exceptions for sure. The spiriit of Gimley was amusing and motivational for sure.

I agree, and stand ready

Then we do what HE would do in HIS name as HE has told us to do. HE will help us don't you worry about that. NO weapon shall prosper against us! GOD bless!

ya' know what, I in many ways hope you are right.. I hope the King of Kings smites all these buggers that have sullied this once great nation.. as well as most of the rest of the planet .. but .. and this is hypothetical .. what if no one is coming .. what if "we" are all "we" have .. what if, and again just hypothetical, what if it is up to "US"?
