“Fifty percent (50%) of voters nationwide believe that the rights we enjoy as Americans were given to us by the government and the Constitution. A ScottRasmussen.com survey found that another 50% believe we were endowed by our Creator with certain rights that no government can take away.

This divided understanding is found across virtually all measured partisan and demographic groups. . . . ” (Excerpted from ScottRasmussen.com)

Half of all voters nationwide are wrong! The Declaration of Independence established the founding principles of our nation, which would be based on “securing,” an old-fashioned word for preserving, the rights given to us by God.  Read it for yourself:

“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. . . . ” (Read the whole declaration HERE.)

Pray for a correct understanding of our rights as Americans and where they come from. Download our prayer guide–Pray to Uphold the Constitution or call our office to order in bookmark form (1-800-USA-PRAY).
