One would hope that all Americans have read this document, and indeed have referred to it often. After all, it is a document that not only laid the foundation for our nation, and its constitution --- but also is the genesis for an experiment that has inspired people around the world for for over two centuries, and continues to do so today.
For those that are too lazy to read the document at the link, they are also probably too lazy to really understand the gift that the document and the signers gave us. Or to bother with defending the nation it gave birth to. But, I have also provided a link to an excellent recording of a reading of this document by Scott Ott here.
Happy Birthday, America and American Independence. Long may you remain the shining example of freedom and liberty for all the world.
