Well, I glad they found a copy someplace!
Sure as hell ain’t none in Washington DC anymore.

Cool!
Not quite as rare as Obama’s birth certificate, school records, and senior thesis, though.

They better sell while it still holds value. . .a couple of more years of Obambi and it won’t be worth the paper upon which it is written.

I once heard a British comedian say the following...
We in Great Briton would like to congratulate you Yanks on the anniversary of your Independence from this sovereign crown.
You in America call it Independence day and the Forth of July.
While we here still fondly refer to it as...High treason.
:o)

Treason never prospers.
What’s the reason?
Because if it doth prosper,
None dare call it treason.

I’ve always wondered: what happened to the copy they sent to King George?
Well apparently, it got lost in the mail.

I believe - cannot swear to it - that the two copies sent to King George III are in the hand of the British Public Record Office - one in the Colonial records, one in the Admiralty records.

The DEA siezed it and burned it - it was printed on hemp vellum.

Thanks for the post, natman75 and for the ping, thefactor.
A most appropriate subject as we approach the Fourth of July.
