"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
disolve 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 seperation." - Thomas Jefferson; Declaration of Independence.

The time is rapidly approaching when it will become necessary for such poignant words to be penned again. The reason being that those who are acting on behalf of the people of the United States are not being held immediately accountable for their actions. These actions have separated the governing body from the original ideas and values that were first ratified by the thirteen colonies, thus putting the constitution under peril. The constitution is under attack and will continue to erode until those who care, will stand and defend it.
