“When our founding fathers put their signatures on the Declaration of Independence, those 56 brave people, most of whom by the way were clergymen, they said that we had certain inalienable rights given to us by our creator, and among these life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, life being one of them.

“The dissemination of the individual's opinions on matters of public interest is for us, in the historic words of the Declaration of Independence, an 'unalienable right' that 'governments are instituted among men to secure.' History shows us that the Founders were not always convinced that unlimited discussion of public issues would be 'for the benefit of all of us' but that they firmly adhered to the proposition that the 'true liberty of the press' permitted 'every man to publish his opinion'.” MenMatterShowsGovernmentWould BeIndividualInterestLibertyOpinionIssuesBenefitsIndependencePressesConvincedEvery ManSecureDiscussionFreedom Of SpeechFoundersDeclarationUnlimitedPropositionsHistoricPublishDeclaration Of IndependencePublic InterestDissemination Author:John Marshall Harlan II

“Wise statesmen ... established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity should look up again at the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began.” MenShouldLooksSelfFatherInterestWhiteLibertyRichWiseBattleIndependencePursuitDoctrineLook UpEntitledEvidentDeclarationWhite ManPosterityPursuit Of HappinessStatesmenRich ManDeclaration Of IndependenceFactionsLife Liberty And The Pursuit Of Happiness Author:Abraham Lincoln
“Thomas Jefferson understood the greater purpose of the liberty that our Founding Fathers sought during the creation of our Nation. Although it was against the British that the colonists fought for political rights, the true source of the rights of man was clearly stated in the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson wrote that all humans are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights . . . . It was self-evident to him that denying these rights was wrong and that he and others must struggle to win what was theirs.” MenHumansSelfPoliticalPurposeCertainFatherWinningNationsLibertyStruggleGreaterRightsCreationSourceUnderstoodIndependenceCreatorBritishEvidentDeclarationFoundingOur Founding FathersDeclaration Of IndependenceUnalienable RightsPolitical RightsColonistsGreater Purpose Author:William J.

“There are a number of Americans who've been taught that, that the Constitution has nothing to do with immigration. The Declaration of Independence has nothing to do with it. It's the Statue of Liberty. And there is complete and total ignorance about it. And I maintain it's because they have not been taught the truth. And even if they have been taught the truth, they have rejected it in favor of what their political biases happen to be as their political biases relate to their narrative and the agenda.” PoliticalLibertyIgnoranceConstitutionIndependenceImmigrationRejectedDeclarationDeclaration Of IndependenceStatue Of Liberty Author:Rush Limbaugh
