Re-Declaring Our Declaration
Your birth certificate is an
important document. It certifies your existence, defines your heritage, and
declares your time of arrival.
The Declaration of Independence
is the birth certificate of our nation.
We can be grateful our
Declaration was not written today by entrenched politicians and lobbyists
overcome by the influence of self-interest and majoritarian bias. It was written
by experienced individuals familiar with the marketplace, the open sea, and back
alleys. Highly educated in the classics, our forefathers read the wisdom of
Plato, Cicero, Locke, and Hume along with multitudes of other writers from whom
they derived the genius that gave our nation birth. From this wisdom they
synthesized a form of government heretofore unknown on the planet … a
government designed to gain advantage of our human strengths and insure against
the adverse consequence of our human weaknesses.
The truths of the Declaration are
timeless: People are naturally endowed with the right to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. The sole purpose of government is to secure these
rights to the people. Power is inherent in the people and is delegated to
government on a limited basis for this purpose. The people retain the right to
re-engineer their government to any extent they deem necessary when it loses
sight of its purpose. These truths served us well and will serve future
generations if we hold to them and re-declare them to the children in these
present times of turmoil and philosophical confusion.
Encompassed in these rights is
the freedom you currently enjoy to speak freely to others. You have the right to
use independent judgment and express your opinions without interference of
government censors. The principles of our Declaration, the birth certificate of
the United States of America, must be held up for the people to see and kept
before the eyes of our leaders who must be made to abide by its principles. We
ask that you use your individual power to help secure our liberty and that of
our children by promoting the principles of the Declaration of Independence and
the purpose of Jurisdictionary to promote Public Legal Education.
Thank you!
