It was only 233 years ago that our nation issued a clarion call for independence with principles still valid today, even though there are some footprints of misappropriations on many by today's political activist judges.
The signers of the Declaration of Independence endured sacrifice of labor and blood. There were 56 men signing this document 233 years ago. Their lives displayed death from war injuries to nine of them. Five were captured, thrown into prison and beaten. Many lost their wives, sons, daughters and some entire families. One signer actually lost 13 children. Even two wives were severely beaten.
All 56 at one time or other became victims of manhunts and even driven from their homes, while 20 actually suffered the total burning of their homes.
And some Americans today think we have a hard time.
Our nation's birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, was purchased at an extremely high price. Thomas Jefferson said, "Without God, our struggle for independence and freedom would surely have failed."
For today, it remains for us to ask ourselves, "Just how long can America maintain her freedom?"
The political forces in Washington, D.C. seem so ready and willing to dominate corporations, financial institutions, newsroom and even our churches and religious freedom.
We must be willing to fight and give it our all, much like our Founding Fathers, if America is to survive and be the country it was intended to be some 233 years ago.
