How We Can Commemmorate Our Fight For A Nation of Laws
We must make the country SEE the state we're in, the fight we're going through.
We need artists to remember this fight and these fighters in portraiture -- Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Democratic House attorneys, staff, and the entire House Democratic majority who won over Mitt Romney.
Even more, we can promote any and all art, music, education and media that sustain a rule of law culture against fascist or financial powers or alt right culture that promote only a nation of men.
As Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Democratic House attorneys and staff constantly stand inspired by our Founders, quote them, live up to them in word and deed, so we must try to promote them however we can.
We can uphold their "“Undaunted resolution." We must, for our children and grandchildren, pledge "our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor." Yes, we can. We must try.
Because our Founders did not come out of their situation unscathed.
for reasons of security, the Declaration with the signatures was not published until January, 1777—six months after the signing—for it was fully understood that if the Revolution failed, the signers would be rounded up, their property confiscated, and their lives forfeited...
Nearly all the signers, in either a civil or a military role, became involved in the prosecution of the war. Over a fourth of them—seventeen—saw military service, and twelve of these were actively in the field during the Revolution. Four of them were taken prisoner. A civilian signer, Richard Stockton of New Jersey, father-in-law of Dr. Rush, who served as Surgeon General, was, however, the first to be captured...
Stockton was one of those who gave both his life and his fortune to back the instrument that he had signed: his health permanently broken by the ordeal of imprisonment and his fortune virtually wiped out, he died, at fifty, before the war was over.
Several of the signers lost their fortunes not to enemy action but in acts of private generosity for the public good.
