Maybe the American majority can declare it's independence from the from the unelected, unrepresentative minority which are taking away our rights, our freedoms and our history, one by one.

JULY 4th BUMP!
These people seem to be deliberately targeting our heritage in order to throw us as a nation into chaos. Divided we fall. The people who took our pledge, and in places banned our flag...they are the definition of their own new favorite word : "divisive". I find their behavior to be the definition of their SECOND favorite word : "OFFENSIVE".
If you haven;t already, please forward the petition to your friends, relatives and neighbors. Your whole email address book, asking them to sign and forward it on themselves.

I BUMP to your dedication!!
The original site was the Give me Liberty or Give me Death Site
But, having said that, your site is very, very good and I thank you for putting the effort into it and the information out. I pray more and more Americans will get involved in countering the decades of lies and deceit that have gone into efforts by enemies to unravel the fabric of our society and great Republic.
It gives me great hope and bolsters my faith to see so many becoming involved!
BIG JULY 4TH AND 21,780 SIGNATURE BUMP!
Happy Fourth of July

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. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
...
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
My point is that the clearly read right to free speech and to no infringement on religious expression of the 1st amendment trumps the convoluted reasoning regarding the same by these judges that says that the wording in the Pledge, since that wording was adopted by Congress as the pledge to the flag, represents congress passing a law that establishes a particular religion.
God is a generic word that can apply to all religions as understood by the founders. The 1st amendment does not say that America will distance itself from religion altogether, and in essence make no religion its "religion" ... it simply says it will not make laws establishing a particular religion.
I do not view the pledge as doing that ... I do view the pledge as re-affirming what the founders established and firmly stated, that the founding and sustanance of this nation is based on the "Creator" and His endowment og unalienable rights.
FRegards.
