The Declaration of Independence (updated with audio)
Rep Toby Nixon wrote an essay on the Declaration of Independence which I found interesting. So in honor of our Country’s Independence day, here it is. It is followed by a poem I saw on Michelle Malkin.
The 4th of July is a complex holiday for me, full of pride, sorrow and resolve. Ths is only one small aspect of it, and I may post more tomorrow. Then again I may just take the day off with my family and enjoy a rare sunny day in Washington.
Note: Tomorrow, Stefan Sharkansky will be presenting a virtual reading of the Declaration, featuring people of all ages reading small passages, including me. I will be adding a post to it tomorrow when he releases it. Shark also gets the Hat Tip for this essay.
NOTE 2: Here it is:
The Declaration of Independence as read by your fellow Sound Politics readers is here [audio]. Follow along with the text.
Happy 4th of July to all of you. Celebrate our country’s heritage proudly.
