JULY 4 2012 INDEPENDENCE DAY

 Hello  friends, here we are celebrating OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY 2012, and what does that mean to US? Well for sure, WE fought for OUR RIGHTS to become an INDEPENDENT COUNTRY a long, long, long time ago. On July 4, 1776 the Declaration Of Independence was ammended to the Constitution of the United States giving US that right, once and for ALL! But somewhere and someone decided for US to be divided not united, and thats where we stand  TODAY. I don't know how you feel about that, but it makes me feel uneasy, sad, and mostly upset, that WE accept IT. On this day we should be HAPPY and PROUD to be an AMERICAN, for what WE stand for, what do we stand for? To watch this country be torn apart, and watch all OUR morals, values, faith DISAPPEAR before our eyes, WHY? WE  all need to become more accountable for what happens in AMERICA, and hold those not accountable now, ACCOUNTABLE. It is our responsibility to this country, for WHICH IT STANDS, as OUR forefathers stated, to be INDEPENDENT. So today should be the START of US getting and going BACK to our heritage, and become that GREAT NATION, under  GOD, from which WE came from. I hope you have the COURAGE, and be BRAVE enough, to STAND UP  and say, I'm an AMERICAN, I'm INDEPENDENT, I'm UNITED (not divided) and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to acheive this. We can make this HAPPEN, believe it,  do it NOW and a change will come. It took US time to become that INDEPENDENT COUNTRY back in 1776, it won't be that long for US to get there TODAY. Have a great  INDEPENDENCE DAY, and a safe 4th of July, GOD BLESS AMERICA AND YOU

The Declaration of Independence was a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies, then at war with Great Britain, regarded themselves as independent states, and no longer a part of the British Empire. John Adams put forth a resolution earlier in the year which made a formal declaration inevitable. A committee was assembled to draft the formal declaration, to be ready when congress voted on independence. Adams persuaded the committee to select Thomas Jefferson to compose the original draft of the document,[2] which congress would edit to produce the final version. The Declaration was ultimately a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The Independence Day of the United States of America is celebrated on July 4, the day Congress approved the wording of the Declaration.
After ratifying the text on July 4, Congress issued the Declaration of Independence in several forms. It was initially published as a printed broadside that was widely distributed and read to the public. The most famous version of the Declaration, a signed copy that is usually regarded as the Declaration of Independence, is displayed at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Although the wording of the Declaration was approved on July 4, the date of its signing was August 2.[3] The original July 4 United States Declaration of Independence manuscript was lost while all other copies have been derived from this original document.[4]
The sources and interpretation of the Declaration have been the subject of much scholarly inquiry. The Declaration justified the independence of the United States by listing colonial grievances against King George III, and by asserting certain natural and legal rights, including a right of revolution. Having served its original purpose in announcing independence, the text of the Declaration was initially ignored after the American Revolution. Since then, it has come to be considered a major statement on human rights, particularly its second sentence:
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.
This has been called "one of the best-known sentences in the English language"[5], containing "the most potent and consequential words in American history."[6] The passage came to represent a moral standard to which the United States should strive. This view was notably promoted by Abraham Lincoln, who considered the Declaration to be the foundation of his political philosophy, and argued that the Declaration is a statement of principles through which the Unitnotably promoted by Abraham Lincoln, who considered the Declaration to be the foundation of his political philosophy, and argued that the Declaration is a statement of principles through which the United States Constitution should be interpreted.[7] It has inspired work for the rights of marginaliHello friends, here we are celebrating OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY 2012, and what does that mean to US?
