What are you doing for Independence Day? May I suggest something? READ the Declaration of Independence, or ...?

Question

... another idea, learn something more about this document. Reading straight through it will take you only about 5 to 15 minutes depending on your reading speed and listening to this short web seminar on the Declaration will only take about 11 minutes.

I would like to start a new tradition in my family so we are going to read the Declaration together, and I am going to suggest that they listen to the video link as well. Let me know if you will join me and get your family involved.

and please Let me know what you are doing and if you will take the time to remember what our founders did for us 235 years ago. Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

Don't you love it?

One person thinks the war was won on July 4th.

Another admits he deliberately wants to remain ignorant.

What's up with that? At least the incorrect information from the first answerer wasn't the result of Deliberate ignorance.

Our Founding Fathers were amazingly brilliant and thoughtful men of great character and we should all truly get to know their thinking on the reasons behind the Constitution. Any Supreme Court Judge who says we can't know what our Founding Fathers intended when they wrote the Constitution is too ignorant or too stupid to be the judge of Anything.

Answer 2

I'm hosting a BBQ for friends and family. Although I won't be reading the Declaration of Independence or Constitution, it's a great idea to incorporate a reminder of the reason behind the holiday in any festivity. I applaud your suggestion.

Answer 3

For Independence Day, you can read the Declaration Of Independence and learn about it. You can learn the conflict with the British and the US like the war. The war between Britain and the US and the US won on July 4th. So that's why we have Fourth Of July to celebrate our freedom from the British.



Happy Fourth Of July!
