Happy 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Lee Resolution (which stated "these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States... absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown) and the beginning of Congress' consideration of the Declaration of Independence.

Celebrate this wonderful nation of ours this weekend!

"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."
