The Declaration of Independence was really about a people’s Dependence
On Selfless United Leaders
Acting on Universal Principle
Who in turn were Dependent
upon the Will and Sacrifice of the People
On July 4, 2012 we remain dependent on those we empower:
Representatives
Executives
Judiciaries
Government & Corporations
To operate our democratic system of principles and processes
in order to nurture
to educate
and to protect us from tyranny, inequality and injustice
The signers of the Declaration of Independence were dependent upon a mass of people to rise up in support. The people were dependent upon their new government to honor and extend the nascent foundation of human rights for themselves and future generations.
And the governments to follow were dependent upon the people to vigorously and earnestly construct commerce, industry and society within certain bounds.
Definitions of Tyranny:
Absolute power, especially when exercised unjustly or cruelly (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language)
Arbitrary, unreasonable, or despotic behaviour or use of authority (Collins English Dictionary)
Today, the actors have changed, but the relationships have not. The people are dependent upon our leaders
Congress, the Executive Branch and the Supreme Court,
Corporations
Institutions
—to provide a framework of capital, education and jobs to satisfy the demand for products, services and enterprise.
Governments and corporations are fully enabled and empowered by us. Their existence is through our laws and for our benefit.
Governments and corporations are not things. They are made up of people like us
but controlled at the top by a very small number of leaders whom
we count on,
depend on,
empower
to establish systems and processes that serve us.
We depend upon governments and corporations for large scale frameworks and resources
that provide enterprise, sustenance and value
and that protect us from tyranny and harm.
July 4, 2012 is when we say enough is enough to those we depend upon for systems that nurture us, treat us as equals and provide a truthful basis for understanding and action.
We will not accept a Congress with members whose intent is more about their election than creative, thoughtful and energetic action to help all of us.
We need to be able to depend upon each other to protect the unifying ideals that we celebrate on the Fourth of July. Those entrusted to lead us must live up to the high standards of the framers of our extraordinary organizational system. Let’s support leaders whose only agenda is to nurture all of us, ensure equality, educate with truth and establish compassionate and intelligent systems that renew the promise of the framers on July 4, 1776.
Nurture, Equality, Truth and Systems are the founding principles that stand up to the test of time and tyranny. They are our Declaration of Dependence.
