My Father on The Declaration of Independence / Constitution Part 1


How many of you have actually read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution including all of the Amendments?  How many of you who have read them have read them within the last 10 days, 10 weeks, 10 months or 10 years?

I have just reread them and had forgotten how powerful this short statement really is.  It rekindles the love for our country (if you have one, and if you don’t, then why are you reading this?) and the obvious love that the Founding Fathers had forAmerica.

I shall not write it all here now but I shall give it to you bit by bit.  I pray that it has the same impact on you that it had on me.

 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 for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
To be continued. . .
