JULY 4 1776 THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE IS SIGNED IN PHILADELPHIA Written by Thomas Jefferson and signed by 56 American patriots, the Declaration of Independence breaks the colonies away from Britain, and sets forth the ideal that governments exist to protect and serve the people, not to control them. America’s founders believe that rights come from God, not government. Liberty and prosperity follow when government is restricted in size and power. Decentralized, limited government, God-given rights, a moral foundation, solid debt-free currency, respect for private property rights, and minimal taxation represent the opposite of what the Illuminati and the latter day French and Marxist revolutionaries advocate. The most well-known lines of the Declaration sum up what America is all about: "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, --That 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.”
