Two hundred fifty

“The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.”  Thomas Paine

“Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.”  George Washington

“A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” Thomas Jefferson

“Let us tenderly and kindly cherish therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.” John Adams

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”  George Washington

“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”  Thomas Jefferson

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Thomas Jefferson

“A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” John Adams

“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”  Thomas Paine

We have it in our power to begin the world over again. May it be so, and may the United States of America become all she was intended to be.

Happy Fourth of July!
