 
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.
This
is part of the
Declaration of Independence
I thought it would be appropriate
to have this since
it will be Fourth of July
Even though, I was born and
raised in Hawaii, I am still an
American and very proud to be
one. We have the priviledge
of being a free individual,
freedom of speech, freedom of
choice
freedom of religion.
Here is my tribute to the United
States of America
