The Declaration of Independence Part 1

Its amazing what is in it!

The Declaration written in 1776: Wow! Isn't that happening NOW?

Get involved...perform it aloud...in groups....alone...live...online:

"He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries"

"He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power"

"He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foriegn to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws"

"He is at this time                                

transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries                      

to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, 

already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy 

scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages,                   

and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation."
