2. Is our Right
Edited on Sat Dec-05-09 11:16 AM by Dreamorpheus
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" ~Jefferson

"self-evident, that all men are created equal"
:All men(Human) are Equal.
"'that they are endowed''with certain unalienable Rights,''Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.'"
:All men have equal Rights.
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men"
: Governments primary standing order, to secure Equal Rights for all men;
Government is to be of the people, by the people, for the people.
"deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
:Governments powers are given by the governed(men), and exists only under the consent of man.

We are all agree thus far, Right? This what the above states, correct?
Well is any of the above congruent with the government you know today?
What is going on in government is contrary to what was proposed when it was created, and by the same doctrine that Brought it into existence, will be removed.
