If I met any of those brave men in the great beyond, I would be ashamed to tell them what has happened to America.
On April 15th millions of people should send a copy to the Whitehouse....
” . . . our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor.”
How many present-day politicians can say the same?
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
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:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Sounds like King Barry is well on his way.
He has usurped power from the people.

Burger King hats for everyone...especially Zero.
You said — “On April 15th millions of people should send a copy to the Whitehouse....”
It would be more useful in your kids’ hands.... LOL...
You said — “How many present-day politicians can say the same?”
Ummmm..., it’s not like the politicians come from another species... LOL...
You can say that about our *population* at large and it’s true. That’s where the politicians come from. They grow up in neighborhoods and in the culture that we are in. That’s the problem...
Start at the bottom for the solution....
>We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.
Yep. ...And it’s rather alarming how many of those grievances can be leveled at our own government right now.
...I daresay, none. Methinks they are altogether an honorless bunch.
Got a pen? I’ll sign it. (oh! thought for second this was a contemporary writ!)
Not a bad idea!
Always good to read.
Thanks for the post and ping.
1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Good point.
