As we often do, a suggested reading for the 4th of July weekend. Today it seems the Constitution is under assault from all sides, with an administration assaulting the rule of law and civil rights advocates identifying its fundamental flaws. Lets refresh ourselves on our purer, more basic rights.
This weekend is a great time to [re-]read the Declaration of Independence. We find it very inspiring to read it sometime around the 4th of July each year. As we have discussed before, some believe that the right to vote is more fundamental than the Constitution. Here is a link to a copy for your reading <Declaration of Independence>
The Declaration of Independence asserts our rights to determine and change our form of government – without voting integrity we lose that most fundamental of rights.
“The right to vote… is the primary right by which other rights are protected” – Thomas Paine
