Will You Sign the New Declaration of Independence?
The Small Government PledgeSM: I vote small government. Every issue. Every time. No exceptions. No excuses.
56 Individuals signed the original Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence was NOT simply a strong expression of political opinion.
It was NOT an attempt to influence, persuade or lobby the King or Government of Great Britain.
It was NOT a mere petition. It said, “We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble Terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated Injury.”
The Declaration of Independence “published and declared” that the “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…”
Then the 56 Signers backed up the declaration with their personal commitments. They wrote, “And for the support of this Declaration…we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”
To the British government, it was an Act of Treason.
They risked everything. Their homes could be confiscated or burned. Their families might be arrested and imprisoned. They faced the gallows. If they failed.
Yet their bold declaration and pledge set in motion the events that led to Independence, Liberty, and the United States of America.
If you were alive then, if you had the opportunity, would you have taken the risks those 56 Signers took? Would you have signed the Declaration of Independence?
We hope you would have. We hope we would have, too.
