This day, July 4th, represents the birth of a new nation, the creation of a new civilization, one founded on the principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity. A God Government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived by the consent of the governed; for which American Patriots pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor! We are so grateful to our Beloved Saint Germain for his inspiration to the early Patriots urging them to: "Sign this parchment! Sign! ... Sign your name to that parchment! Sign not only for yourselves but for all ages! For that parchment will be the textbook of Freedom, the bible of the Rights of Man forever!"
