The national unemployment rate fell to 9.4% at the close of last year in December, 2010. The country experienced a gain of 103,000 jobs. There is a dilemma with these figures. Some say that while jobs are being created, there is also a faction of the unemployed population that is blending into the background of our society and they are becoming invisible. These are the people who no longer qualify for unemployment and have basically given up after two, three, four, five and more years without a job. We must also consider that portion of the population that is approaching retirement age and few to no employers are giving them any consideration.
Even though we didn’t create as many jobs as we wanted last month, there was a trade off in that unemployment was reduced in terms of rates more than anticipated by the experts. Experts wanted one hundred fifty thousand jobs to be created. We were short by forty seven thousand. The government had its share of lay offs and cut backs of approximately ten thousand workers. Nearly one and a half million Americans qualify as unemployed who are outside the radar range. In other words they have essentially given up looking for work.
We need to experience an increase of about 300,000 jobs for it to impact the labor rate. A job growth spurt of 150,000 only accounts for and balances out the newest members of our population (birth/immigration). The statistics reveal a total job loss of 8.5 million during this recession. Others argue a much higher number is more realistic ranging from fifteen to twenty million jobs lost. We enjoyed a gain of 1.1 million jobs in the entire year of 2010. 2010 proved to be the best year for hiring since 2007 when the recession began under the former administration. On average the last quarter of the year 2010 yielded job gains of 128,000 per month.
Overall although we’d all like to see a quick fix to the recession and unemployment, the statistics speak loud and clear that we are on the UPSWING in terms of the economy, the job market and the overall recession. We are climbing up and out of our ditch and that is great news. Again, it is slow but it appears rather steady. We have to begin looking at the plus side of all of this. This is a country that was still facing stagnant issues with collision of American & Russian satellites; North Korea launches a rocket which spawns a meeting of the United Nations Security Council; H1N1 virus reached epidemic proportions; Government takeover of GMC because of grave financial issues; American Samoas are hit by an 8.3 earthquake rendering total destruction;
Red River flooding in Fargo North Dakota; Mount Redoubt in Alaska errupts on several occasions; Tornados ripped through the midwest and south and in areas not typically affected by tornados;
Dubai asks for a deferment on their debt after it completed monumental renovations and other construction and development projects, as a result stock markets drop significantly world wide in every major market (11/2009); Effects of Hurricane Katrina still linger and people remain homeless, the BP Oil Spill (spring of 2010), The Afghan War, the Iraqi War, the call of duty and rapid response to the victims of a monumental earthquake in Haiti, entire countries are being bailed out of financial ruin by the European Union (we are not one of them because we are not part of the European Union)…
This is merely a handful of items and events that occurred in the last two years. Eventhough we faced all of these issues and so many more, we are still climbing upward despite our obstacles. What does that tell you about our nation?

AN EASY WAY TO KNOW & RESEARCH ALL POLITICAL CANDIDATES & VOTE IN THE ELECTION OF 11-2-10. We are using Georgia as an example, but you can click on your state of interest at the end of the blog article: NEXT TUESDAY – VOTE
This upcoming election on November 2, 2010 is extremely important for a variety of reasons. We are entering the tail end of October and we remain in the thick of the effects of a recession that started years ago. Is it reasonable to expect this recession to be repaired by now? Is it reasonable to expect some improvement through partial repair by now? Are there repairs that have occurred but that are invisible to us? Could the country have collapsed completely as we know it, but we were spared such a tragedy because of the government’s work we fail or refuse to recognize? We speak to people every day who are unemployed and when its all said and done their unemployment compensation has been exhausted and they no longer care about what is or isn’t fair when evaluating our leaders. The unemployed want and need results. They are desperate and ready to lean on Democrats, Republicans, Tea Party supported candidates, Libertarians, Green Party candidates and Independents. The main focus is gambling on who we THINK might have the solutions and more importantly who has the most EXPEDIENT SOLUTIONS to unemployment, generating new jobs, motivating the cycle of spending through a stronger sense of financial security. How can Americans earn cash and gain wealth? How can businesses increase business and profits? How do we stabilize our economy and crawl out of this recession as quickly as possible? We can start by voting.
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE VOTING FOR? THANKS TO PROJECT VOTE SMART, WE HAVE A LITTLE HELP IN THIS AREA.
WHAT IS PROJECT VOTE SMART?
http://www.votesmart.org/program_about_pvs.php
On common ground at a unique research center high in the Montana Rockies, a struggling group of Americans, who you are unlikely to know and will probably never meet, have begun a battle. A battle to protect all of us from the selfish interests that strip us of the most crucial component in our struggle to self-govern — access to abundant, accurate, and relevant information. Here at Project Vote Smart, Americans young and old volunteer their time, take no money from special interest groups, and have committed themselves to an extraordinary effort that, if successful, will provide their fellow citizens with the tools for a reemergence of political power not known for half a century. Their idea is one you may have thought of yourself. It is a deceptively simple concept but enormously difficult to achieve and would not be possible without the collaboration of citizens willing to lay their partisan differences aside for this one crucial task.
Picture this: thousands of citizens (conservative and liberal alike) working together, spending endless hours researching the backgrounds and records of thousands of political candidates and elected officials to discover their voting records, campaign contributions, public statements, biographical data (including their work history) and evaluations of them generated by over 100 competing special interest groups. Every election these volunteers test each candidate’s willingness to provide citizens with their positions on the issues they will most likely face if elected through the Political Courage Test.
GEORGIA VOTING NEWS & LIST OF CANDIDATES:
INCUMBENT DEFINITION: A person who holds a designated, assigned, established or indicated position, role or office. We can’t state the issues of each candidate in this blog, but we provide some general information so you have a way to conduct your own research under search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing or whatever search engines you prefer or typically use.

Although we are in the business of identifying and locating high qualitytalent for employers across the nation, we understand the reality of near or distant future retirement for many of the people we have placed in viable job positions over the years. For this reason we are drawing our valued readers’ attention to the latest news in Social Security. Given the recession and stats on unemployment, it will come as no surprise to many of you that there will be no increase in Social Security benefits for the year 2011. They claim it is based on the fact that inflation is too low. Doesn’t it make more sense that regardless of inflation, we are in the midst of just barely treading water as a nation because of the recession? We are sorry to report this news for the numerous retirees and disabled Americans across this country.
When you consider that so many of the elderly are barely able to afford their medication on the fixed income they currently have and to think it has been this way for them for years, it seems there is little relief for their wallets and feeling secure through their twilight years. Just as all of us know someone who knows someone who is unemployed, facing foreclosure or bankruptcy now we can all say the same is true of the 58 million Americans who are affected by this Social Security ruling. This is the second consecutive year that seniors and others won’t see an increase in Social Security benefits.
How will this effect the elections? It can’t help the Democrats and President Obama when it comes to the senior and disabled vote. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi mentioned that only after the elections will the House and Senate vote on a bill that would pay all Social Security payees $250.00. The bill is likely to be rejected by the majority of Republicans and several Democrats if and when it reaches the Senate floor. This is the same proposed bill which was rejected last year around this time. It may not matter to many senior and disabled voters WHO is opposing the bill as much as it will be yet another poor reflection on President Obama and his administration whether justified or not. Some argue that it is President Obama’s duty to successfully woo, court and convince Republicans and opposing Democrats to sign such a bill. Gas prices have certainly climbed in the last few weeks along with a host of other retail items and this seems to have little bearing on overall inflation when it is measured against the housing market and other industry statistics.
PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE NOW SO YOU DON’T FORGET TO VOTE NOVEMBER 2ND, 2010 NO MATTER YOUR PARTY AFFILIATION OR LACK THEREOF WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO EXERCISE YOUR VOICE THROUGH VOTING SO WE DON’T LOSE THIS PRECIOUS AND DELICATE RIGHT. WE STRIVE TO SUPPORT OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE LEADERS.

In the event you haven’t heard or seen by now, NBC has aired a show named OUTSOURCED. It is based on a film by John Jeffcoat. It aired on Thursday, September 23, 2010. This is a sitcom which depicts an American male being assigned to manage a call center in Mumbai, India (formerly Bombay) where the order processing department has been relocated or rather outsourced. Initially we heard a great deal of ranting & raving from the American population about this show. Comments ranged from the show’s insensitivity to poor timing to television executives being out of touch or not seeming to care. Several weeks later we began hearing from members of the Indian culture as they compared the show to the sitcoms here in America that “use to” depict minority Americans in a negative or condescending light.
We were fairly amazed at the timing of the show and were unable to determine if it was meant to lift the spirits of Americans and Indians through irony and sarcasm. Nevertheless there are petitions on FACEBOOK protesting and boycotting the show and all of NBC. Some loyal viewers of NBC are refusing to stop on that channel ever again even if it means giving up sports and some of their favorite shows and movies. There are a few former variations on this show. “Going for An English”; “Mumbai Calling” and “Goodness Gracious Me”. They are all foreign based. While “experts” are presenting the question whether or not people SHOULD be outraged about this or whether or not the show can be described as offensive to Americans and-or the Indian culture, real people with and without jobs all over the world have voiced their opinions loud and clear. Some say its a travesty because people have actually received jobs (acting) by making fun of people without jobs during a time when this country and even other countries could conceivably drown in this recession. By drowning, they mean rioting in the streets for a loaf of bread kind of drowning. One gentleman said that until the executives at NBC have been out of work, depleted all their savings and investments and lost everything they own, they can’t begin to identify with the average American. In addition, they said even if NBC could identify or are identifying with the American citizen, they still find the jobless hysterical because people who have money find people without money laughable, entertaining, and think of them as existing for their entertainment.
We have searched high and low for responses to comments like these from NBC and we were unable to locate any. It is not to suggest they don’t exist, but perhaps they were not listed in a more prominent position in the search engines or on the Internet websites. Is there money to be made from the static and comments SURROUNDING a show versus the show itself? It would be no different than what reality television stars do or celebrealities like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Their names alone generate an income. They don’t have to worry about whether or not their shows are a hit. They just need to be certain people continue talking about them and people want them to make appearances with them, their products or services. In a world where you can brand just about anything, could that be NBC’s hidden strategy? Release a show about Americans losing jobs in the middle of a recession, make it a comedy and watch it explode in popularity before it even airs…?
Is the signing of the NAFTA agreement the cause of our “Outsourced” reality here in America? (North American Free Trade Agreement – January 1, 1994 during the Clinton Administration).

Carry the battle to them. Don’t let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don’t ever apologize for anything.
Harry S. Truman
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? JOIN OUR DISCUSSION
Well we are already here. Our first Monday in the month of September. End of summer, start of football season or is it more than that?
WHEN WAS THE FIRST LABOR DAY?
1882 on September 5th in New York City organized by Peter J. McGuire (carpenter) as a march/parade from City Hall to Union Square then on to Reservoir Park for a picnic. The event included 10,000 workers and their families.
WHEN WAS LABOR DAY FORMALLY ESTABLISHED?
1894
WHAT MADE IT OFFICIAL?
Labor Day became official based on the events surrounding the PULLMAN STRIKE of 1894 during Grover Cleveland’s administration (The 22nd and the 24th President of the United States, which makes him the only president to have been elected to office twice but not in back to back presidential terms. He is also noted for being the only Democrat elected to office during the lengthy reign of a Republican majority between 1860 to 1912. Cleveland was a conservative in that he was not an advocate for inflation, subsidies for businesses, farmers or even veterans, pricey tariffs, or imperialism ).
WHAT WAS THE PULLMAN STRIKE?
The Pullman Strike was a political battle between the railroads and the labor unions which started in Pullman Illinois. A company by the name of the Pullman Palace Car Co. suffered a strike of three thousand of its employees because of drastic reductions in wages. You have to understand that rail cars were the most popular mode of travel back then so traffic flow was adversely effected. Anything West of Chicago did not move. Eugene Debs was the head of the American Railway Union that represented approximately 250,000 workers in 27 states. President Cleveland sent federal troops and marshals to shut down striking because of its ill effects on the nation. From a legal standpoint President Cleveland said it was affecting the U.S. Postal Service’s ability to deliver mail. He was thereby justified in sending troops. 13 union workers were killed and fifty seven were injured. Six thousand members of the union were involved and caused about $350,000.00 worth of damage (nearly nine million today).
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LABOR DAY?
When it was first established nationally, a parade was to take place following a festival to honor, encourage and celebrate the American spirit of trade and labor organizations. Some question the political cleansing attempt on the part of President Cleveland given that it was passed six days after the Pullman strike ended and many of his cabinet members did not believe the president had the right to unleash 12,000 army troops and marshals to the scene.
WHAT IS LABOR SUNDAY?
Labor Sunday is the Sunday before Labor Day. It was established in 1909 to highlight the spiritual and educational elements of Labor Day as it relates to the Bible.
WHAT IS THIS OTHER LABOR DAY – MAY 1ST?
This is an international holiday recognized and celebrated by about eighty countries. It is also known as the International Workers’ Day or May Day. It focuses on labor unions specifically. It marks the 1886 Haymarket Massacre of Chicago on May 4th. It started out as a rally for striking workers who were pushing for an eight hour work day. Someone threw a bomb at police while police were trying to break up the rally. Police retaliated with gunfire. Eight officers were killed. The majority were killed by “friendly fire”. To this day it is unknown how many civilians were killed. Eight men were tried. Four were convicted and executed and one man committed suicide in prison. Please take special note that the prosecution was convinced that none of the eight defendants were involved in throwing the bomb.
We so often get caught up in thinking the era we live in is the most volatile, the most corrupt as every generation wishes for the “old days” when matters were simpler, people were kinder, and there was a niceness in the air. Let this be a lesson and a strong reminder to all of us that corruption and suspicion of corruption go back long before any one of us was born. There is much more to many of these stories, but we don’t want to make the blog an entire American history lesson. Illegal searches were conducted and freedom of speech was squashed during this time.
Perhaps we need to look a little more carefully at Labor Day and its true meaning from all perspectives. Some of us recall May Day when we were children, but that is a holiday that has gone by the way side for the most part in this country.
I HEAR GOOD & BAD THINGS ABOUT UNIONS:
Many people believe unions to be useless today. Many people take for granted the working conditions they have today and are unaware that those limited hours, pay, vacation time, sick time, and other benefits were as a result of labor unions fighting and its members dying for improved working conditions. Nothing is a given in this world unless you understand its history and continue to demand that it remain on the “books”. Some form of American unions have been around since the start of this country.
WHATS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT CHILD LABOR LAWS?
Unions were instrumental in establishing child labor laws. Most of us are too young to know of a time when children as young as three years of age were put to work for twelve hour days, no school, and were working in conditions that most adults could not survive in. The Industrial Revolution sparked the need for even more children working in small, tight, dangerous spaces that adults could not reach because of their size. Children worked in mines, around dangerous machinery, chimneys, prostitution and more. Because of the unbearable hours, malnutrition, no health care, children would sometimes fall asleep on the job. Even though they were working side by side with their parents and siblings, it was not unusual for a shop boss or supervisor to beat the child. The parents could not fight back because it would mean the loss of jobs for the entire family. Essentially it was about two steps higher than slavery minus the racism. This was nearly every company across the board. So it wasn’t as if you could argue unfair treatment, quit and get another job with a sanely operated company.
To give you an idea of how barbaric our society was back then, and by we I mean every continent on the planet, it was a big milestone when Britain came through as the first nation to pass a law in favor of children. Its laughable now, but then it was a huge relief to many families and children. It fell under the title of FACTORY ACTS in the early 1900′s. Children under the age of 9 were not allowed to work at all. Chidren between the ages of 10 and 17 were limited to a twelve hour work day, which indicates they were working sixteen or more hours per day prior to the law. We still have sweat shops and worse still today. The poorer the country the fewer child labor restrictions there are.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE U.S.A.?
1.7 million children UNDER THE AGE OF 15 were said to be working in 1900 in the U.S.A. in the fields of industry. By 1910 that number had climbed to 2 million. Labor unions were already up and running, fighting and battling for rights for everyone. The issue was that as with any movement, the extremists are the gutsiest of all, but with that extremists mentality comes a number of harsh negatives. The union leaders in the 1700′s and 1800′s and beyond were known to be violent, unruly, coercive, and intimidating to co-workers and political officials. Many would argue that if they weren’t, nothing would have been accomplished with those in power in America. It was only through fear that politicians were motivated to rein in the questionable employment practices of large company owners and executives. Opposition to unions, even today, allege that unions are socialistic and no longer necessary. In fact many would argue that we have swung too far in over compensating for our history and now we are dealing with ungrateful, selfish, nondedicated workers who have a sense of entitlement and take advantage of the system. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THIS ISSUE?
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? JOIN OUR DISCUSSION
Always remember humans are charged with keeping one another in check. It doesn’t matter if you are the President of the United States, a CEO of a major corporation, a clerk at a retail store or you are out of work on disability. Honesty and integrity should be at the top of every man and woman’s list because no one is any more important or any less valuable than the other. Every single one of us impacts, shapes and influences our employers, family, friends, children, community, the nation and the world. We are each representatives of this list. We have an obligation to be the best we can be to our employers and to the people who fought and still fight for the luxuries we enjoy today.
HAPPY LABOR DAY!

UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION (one view): One view of what President Obama has requested and the responses to that request in terms of budget proposals from the White House. http://changesinworldmap.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/adjustments-in-geography-and-political-reality-appearing-in-world-maps/
EXTENSION OF UNEMPLOYMENT (different view): This is a view that the extension of unemployment benefits prolongs the unemployment status of individuals. http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20100711/OPINION/100709025/1006/NEWS01/Other+views++Extending+benefits+prolongs+unemployment+(July+11)
FLORIDA JOB TRENDS: Only health care and education fields are creating new jobs throughout Florida. Florida reached a 12.3% unemployment rate in March of 2010. It has declined since then, but is still high. Florida struggles to stay under 11% for future months. Remain aware and open about how the numbers are calculated in each state. The arguments still remain by many that unemployment decreases are skewed because there is an undocumented unemployed population which falls off the unemployment benefits radar on a weekly basis. This may or may not effect the numbers that anyone reads or hears about. http://www.brookings.edu/opinions/2010/0702_jobs_greenstone.aspx

Keep in mind that with every document, act, bill, law or doctrine comes controversy no matter how well intended it is. Different Americans have different perspectives and they are justified from their personal perspective.
No one can deny that our Declaration of Independence was a crucial part of who and what we are today. It is history whether you think of it as good, bad or indifferent and for that we honor and support this country, its growth and maturity over the years and generations. If you are seeking perfection in a country or nation, you won’t find it. If you are seeking a clean slate of history in a nation, you won’t find that either just as you will NOT find that in any one person’s life.
The same is true of our present and future. We are not and will not be perfect – ever. We can only pull together and work as a unit to improve on our current state.
It is our history and we are grateful for the victories and the defeats. Just like any family, we have the good, the not so good and the less than not so good and we embrace and acknowledge every single member of our American family. As with any human being, we make mistakes and we are continually growing. We are comparatively young given our current establishment and government structure.
We have a long way to go, but we have made great strides in a very short period of time. Every stride has come with a price and from this we must continue to learn as a great nation and as individuals.
In 1776 thirteen American colonies were deemed independent and free from the British Empire and rule. We thereby entered into the Declaration of Independence which the Continental Congress formally adopted.
Can you name the original thirteen colonies, known as states? (SEE BELOW FOR ANSWERS)
Beside each state are the names of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. There are 56 signatures.
New Hampshire:Josiah Barlett, Matthew Thornton, William Whipple
Massachusetts:John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Hancock (President of the Continental Congress), Elbridge Gerry, Robert Paine
Rhode Island: William Ellery, Stephen Hopkins
Connecticut: Samuel Huntington, Roger Sherman, William Williams, Oliver Wolcott
New York: William Floyd, Francis Lewis, Phillip Livingston, Lewis Morris
New Jersey: Abraham Clark, John Hart, Francis Hopkinson, Richard Stockton, John Whitherspoon
Pennsylvania:George Clymer, Benjamin Franklin (oldest at 70), Robert Morris, John Morton, George Ross, Benjamin Rush, James Smith, George Taylor, James Wilson
Delaware: Thomas McKean, George Read, Caesar Rodney
Maryland:Charles Carroll, Samuel Chase, William Paca, Thomas Stone
Virginia:Carter Braxton, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Jefferson (wrote majority of the Declaration) , Francis Lightfoot Lee, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Nelson, Jr., George Wythe
North Carolina: Joseph Hewes, William Hooper, John Penn
South Carolina:Thomas Heyward, Jr., Thomas Lynch, Jr., Arthur Middleton, Edward Rutledge (youngest at 26)
Georgia: Button Gwinett, Lyman Hall, George Walton
BELOW IS A QUOTED COPY OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE:
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount an payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred. to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. —And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
