The US is having an identity crisis, our generation forced to decide: will we or will we not choose to stand on the principles bequeathed to us: the equality of all; God-given inalienable rights to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness; & govt. existing to secure those rights.

Important we consider that question because it’s not the way we function now. Much govt policy does NOT respect the equality of all & does NOT support everyone’s pursuit of happiness. According to Dec of Ind, if govt fails to do its job it’s the right of the people to alter it.

The Declaration of Independence is America’s mission statement; part of our problem is that our generation has failed to emotionally and psychologically bond with it. Its principles are dead if they’re not alive in our hearts. Read it and reread it. It will change you. #bigtruth

To those being critical of the Declaration, many signers were Abolitionists. The document espoused a universal truth about all persons being equal. They formed a government that allowed necessary changes to take place until the Ideal was met. It's a journey we are still on.

We used to hear it read every 4th of July.

The Declaration Of Independence does not guarantee a right to someone else's labor.

Keep in mind. When that document was written, "Men" meant white men and "Rights of the People" meant white people. This still applies today. Black folks are still marginalized, Slavery still exists in The Exception to The 13th Amendment. Police kill us with impunity. HELP❗

Trump uses the Laws of Chaos. Marianne is the one who understands this, and can dismantle this and restore sanity using the Law of Love.
