The Declaration of Independence that our Founders gave us made a proclamation of Liberty based upon 700 years of struggle with tyrannical kings – beginning in 1066 England. The Declaration is rooted in documents that go all the way back to 1100 – The Charter of Liberties, the Magna Carta, and the Bill of Rights of 1689 to name a few. Each declaring what our founders knew – that Liberty was a gift from God and was worth life, fortune, and sacred honor. After 10 years of petitioning King George III our founders, with history in hand, declared their liberties and threw off the bonds of another tyrannical government. Today the value of Liberty has not changed, yet we cannot reclaim our nation without becoming reacquainted with the Declaration of Independence and the sacrifices made throughout history by those who fought before us.
