Friend!

Same to you. And yours, of course.

There is a line in that Declaration that says more about America and the people who started it than any other. And we hear often that “It’s against it...” or “It violates it...”

But I hope all can understand what the true meaning is and what was said.

“He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation”

Note what it says. our constitution. Uncapitalized. Doesn’t mean some writings on sheepskin. It means what is TRULY IN OUR HEARTS in terms of fairness and the role that the common man should have in furthering government, and indeed about the purpose of government itself.

Our constitution.

Hard work.
Honesty.
Fairness.
Legal and understandable and sensible law and trial proceedings.
Forgiveness for the stupid ass mistakes we’ve all made.
A universal acceptance that if somebody contracts and promises something to someone, then they are obligated.
A common goal and a common dream with focus on the family.
The incomparable and subtle beauty and force of the English language. Like whatever.

We get the government we deserve. And I have a huge amount of faith in my fellow Americans. I personally believe that all the old methods have failed.

regards,
David
