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.

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. . ."

Although our forefathers declared equality in the Declaration of Independence, here we are 233 years later and still seeing a lack of equality and continued discrimination. Let us hope that a time comes when those words will have a real meaning.

Happy Independence Day!


Remember - "A day without laughter is a day wasted."
May the wind sing to you and the sun rise in your heart...
