CitizensReUnited - Foundation in Freedom

Excerpts from the

Declaration of Independence

July 4th, 1776

The Rally for Our Cause!

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another . . . 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, 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 . . . But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Are we not at such a crossroads in our country once again?

Our Foundation of Freedom and Liberty

In 1776, the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[note 1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

In Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address regarding our Civil War:

"that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

The Pledge of Allegiance - Francis Bellamy & President Eisenhower

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." (President Eisenhower added "under God")

Add all of these quotes and the excerpts from the Declaration of Independence below and you have the Focus of our Foundation, Freedom and Liberty for All. This is what made our country great! We need to go back to our roots and retrace our steps towards freedom.
