Good article for background. Back in 1968-69 mayors had a different idea abt their Summer of Rage. Bill Ayers and Angela Davis live on. I bet if you dig a bit, you’ll find them still doing what they do today. They got away with murder then. — tls

Article 1, Section 10
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

13th amendment
Section 1

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Think about “Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts.”

The people have an unlimited right to contract. Voluntary servitude through contract, (quid pro quo, the what for what), is lawful. Why do so many people contract their rights away in exchange for a perceived benefit? Safety? Security? A false sense of security?
A big swindle or a twisting of the mind? Fear?

How many people, the once free and independent, have signed away their rights through contracts? If they did not write it why would they sign it or place their “autograph” on a document? Most do not “understand” what they are signing away.

When the people learn how to handle their own affairs through due process of law there is no need to contract with those that would gladly attorn or transfer your rights (or property) for you. Rights are property. The people need to learn how to defend their liberty interest for if you can’t protect your rights you do not have any.

Big smile thanks!

Lee Resolution – June 7, 1776

Acting under the instruction of the Virginia Convention, Richard Henry Lee on June 7, 1776, introduced a resolution in the Second Continental Congress proposing independence for the colonies. The Lee Resolution contained three parts: a declaration of independence, a call to form foreign alliances, and “a plan for confederation.”
On June 11, 1776, the Congress appointed three concurrent committees in response to the Lee Resolution: one to draft a declaration of independence, a second to draw up a plan “for forming foreign alliances,” and a third to “prepare and digest the form of a confederation.”

Declaration of Independence – July 2, 1776

Independence Day Should Have Been July 2 –July 2, 1776 is the day that the Continental Congress actually voted for independence. John Adams, in his writings, even noted that July 2 would be remembered in the annals of American history and would be marked with fireworks and celebrations. The written Declaration of Independence was dated July 4 but wasn’t actually signed until August 2. Fifty-six delegates eventually signed the document, although all were not present on that day in August.
