    When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
    people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them
    with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the
    separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of
    Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
    mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel
    them to the separation.
    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
    the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of
    Government becomes destructive to 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
    and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem
    most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. . . .

We believe that what matters most is not narrow appeals masquerading as values, but the shared values that show the true face of America; not narrow values that divide us, but the shared values that unite us: family, faith, hard work, opportunity and responsibility for all, so that every child, every adult, every parent, every worker in America has an equal shot at living up to their God-given potential. That is the American dream and the American value.
