Answer 2

Kindly contact the Heritage Foundation at 1-800-546-2843. They will gladly send you, for free, a pocket sized copy of the declaration of independence and the constitution of the United States. Every citizen should have at least one copy in their homes. They should even be used in our taxpayer funded public schools. Home school, Parochial and most private schools still have them as part of their grade school curriculum. Unfortunately, due to media bias, most people seem to think that the declaration of independence starts with the words "We hold these truths to be self evident..." It does not!!! The very first paragraph is most important and I will not type it here. Do your homework and you may learn much.
