"We Still Hold These Truths"
A Call to Action for Moral Citizens in an Unjust Moment
We live in a moment where the law no longer answers to moral clarity. Where the courts have drifted from the compass that once guided us. Where the foundational truths of this nation — that all are created equal, and that government derives just power from the governed — are treated as optional, even disposable.
But they are not.
They are foundational.
Meaning — Does the Government, instituted among men, derive its JUST powers from the consent of the governed? Is that line in our Declaration of Independence poetry or real?
This is a call to every American who still believes that moral law takes precedence over legal convenience. Who knows, in their bones, that the Declaration of Independence is not just historical rhetoric — it is the soul of the Republic.
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men…”
That sentence is not decoration. It is our reason for being.
Without it, there is no legitimate Constitution. No government worth obeying.
Without it — No America.
Why We Must Speak Now
The Supreme Court — an institution bound to justice — has drifted into a cold, amoral formalism. It recites text but forgets meaning. It upholds power but forgets purpose. When rulings deny personhood, trample dignity, or protect the state over the citizen, we must ask:
What are we here for?
We are not governed by ink and parchment alone. We are governed by the moral law that preceded them — the people’s declaration that liberty, justice, and equality are the conditions of legitimate rule.
We call it the Declaration of Independence.
It’s time to call on it again.
What You Can Do Now
1. Speak — Tell others that moral truth must return to legal power. Quote the Declaration. Invoke it when courts and lawmakers forget why we exist.
2. Vote — Not just for party or policy, but for people who understand that rights are not granted by government, they are protected by it.
3. Challenge — When rulings betray equality, challenge them in court, in writing, in the streets. History turns when conscience does.
4. Teach — Help Americans remember that the Constitution is not a starting point — it is the outcome of a more profound truth.
5. Write — To The Supreme Court of the United States to let them know how the Declaration of Independence is “Pre-Law” (to the Constitution).
We Still Hold These Truths
The Founders were imperfect. But the moral standard they invoked was not. It still stands. It still guides. And it still obligates us.
Let us be the generation that restores moral accountability to power. That reclaims the Declaration not as a museum relic, but as the living mandate of a self-governing people.
Let this be the start of something sacred.
Not left or right — but forward.
Not partisan — but principled.
Not abstract — but American.
Join me. Publish. Protest. Vote. Speak.
Because if we don’t hold these truths, no one will.
