Declaration of Independence Text

The text of the Declaration of Independence One of the most important documents in human government history. How many of today's leftists would call this document unconstitutional? Note the many, many references to God here. Not Allah, not Budha, not any wooden idols or false gods. The Creator. The one who created this universe and all of us, from Whom all our rights flow:
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

10th amendment

10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the US Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.” "Millions of Texans are tired of Washington, DC trying to come down here to tell us how to run Texas."
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has joined with state lawmakers in supporting a resolution reaffirming states' rights under the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, reports said Tuesday. "Millions of Texans are tired of Washington, D.C. trying to come down here to tell us how to run Texas," Perry said in a speech supporting House Concurrent Resolution 50. "I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union," he said.
"I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion inton the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state," he continued. "That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm states' rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Texas proposal also calls for prohibiting or repealing all federal legislation imposed on the state that requires compliance under penalty of civil or criminal action.
