We The People
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


And...


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all (people) 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.


And...

That this nation, shall have a new birth of freedom. . . and that government of the people. . .by the people. . .for the people. . . shall not perish from the earth.

And...

With malice toward none, with charity for all... let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

2. A bit of Madison, a snippet of Jefferson...
And two teaspoons of Lincoln for good measure.

They are not empty words on a page. They are not meaningless rhetoric. They are immune to obsolescence. They endure, as we all have these eight lonmg years. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :patriot:
