It is almost the 4th of July, the birthday of our country, the day we declared ourselves independent from England. But how close are we today to what the founding fathers were fighting against.

Here is a link to the entire text of the Declaration of Independence. Look at some of these complaints they had against King George of England and see if you notice that the same things can me said about to complain about King George of the White House:

  • He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
  • He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
  • He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
  • He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
  • For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
  • For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
  • He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
  • He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries
    to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun
    with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
  • In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in
    the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only
    by repeated injury. 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.


This was the remedy of our founding fathers:

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


What is OUR remedy? And who is willing to sign it?
