Fourth of July

Founding fathers believed in freedom of the press, religion, speech, assembly, and petition.

Opportunity must be opened to all.

United we stand and divided we fall.                                                                                                                                                                            

Religious establishment by the government is prohibited.

Trial by jury is a constitutional right; taxation without representation is not.

High crimes and misdemeanors by the president are impeachable offenses.

Oligarchies(Rulership by 'the few') in America must never be allowed.

Freedom is not really free; it always cost us something.
 
Justice delayed is justice denied.*

Union of 50 states makes up The USA.                                                                                                                                                         	

Liberty and Justice in America are for all.

Yielding to the will of the majority is the American way.
