The American’s Creed

“I believe in the United States of America, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people;
whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed;
a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States;
a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.”

The American’s Creed was passed as a resolution of
the U.S. House of Representatives on April 3, 1918.
– Written by William Tyler Page,

Inspiring Patriotism, Courage & Caring
by True Americans:

As Americans, we believe in Country over Party, Truth over Lies, and Right over Wrong.

In the words of our Declaration of Independence:

“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.”

In the spirit of our National Creed, we Celebrate the words and actions of our Forefathers in founding this Country and the deeds of Ordinary Americans Helping each other, Finding Common Ground, and Making a Difference toward the betterment of life for us all!

“Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge.
Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights,
and where learning is confined to a few people,
liberty can be neither equal nor universal.”

– Benjamin Rush, 1786

James Madison
Fourth President of the United States

“[T]here are particular moments in public affairs,
when the people stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage,
or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men,
may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards
be the most ready to lament and condemn.

– James Madison: Federalist No. 63, 1788

COUNTRY OVER PARTY:

George Washington - courtesy of Wikipedia Commons

George Washington
First President of the United States

“Citizens by birth or choice of a common country,
that country has a right to concentrate your affections.
The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity,
must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism,
more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.”

– George Washington

George Washington
First President of the United States

“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends,
they are likely in the course of time and things, to become
potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men
will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and
to usurp for themselves the reins of government,
destroying afterwards the very engines
which have lifted them to unjust dominion….

The alternate domination of one faction over another,
sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension, which
in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities,
is itself a frightful despotism.”

– George Washington, Farewell Address, Sep. 17, 1796

George Washington
First President of the United States

“Let me now . . . warn you in the most solemn manner
against the baneful effects of the spirit of party . . .
It serves always to distract the public councils
and enfeebles the public administration.
It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms;
foments occasionally riot and insurrection.
It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption . . .
A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance
to prevent its bursting into flame . . .”

– George Washington, Farewell Address, Sep. 17, 1796

John Adams - Second President of the United States - courtesy of Wikipedia Commons

John Adams
Second President of the United States

“There is nothing which I dread so much as
a division of the republic into two great parties,
each arranged under its leader,
and concerting measures in opposition to each other.
This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded
as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.”

– John Adams in letter to Johnathan Jackson, 1780.

Thomas Jefferson - Third President of the United States - courtesy of Wikipedia Commons

Thomas Jefferson
Third President of the United States

“I never submitted the whole system of my opinions
to the creed of any party of men whatever
in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else
where I was capable of thinking for myself.
Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.
If I could not go to heaven but with a political party,
I would decline to go.”

– Thomas Jefferson letter to Francis Hopkinson, 1789

Thomas Paine - Philosopher, Revolutionary & Founding Father - courtesy of Wikimedia Commons

Thomas Paine
Philosopher, Revolutionary, and a Founding Father of the United States

“Party knows no impulse but spirit, no prize but victory.
It is blind to truth, and hardened against conviction.
It seeks to justify error by perseverance,
and denies to its own mind the operation of its own judgment.
A man under the tyranny of party spirit is the greatest slave upon the earth,
for none but himself can deprive him of the freedom of thought.”

– Thomas Paine, The Opposers of the Bank, 1787.

* * *

“Our fellow citizens of a different party or persuasion
are not our enemies –
no matter how fervently the cunning misrepresentations
of interested men attempt to cast them as such.

The true enemies of the people are those
who by such false means attempt to sew fear,
hatred, and divisions among us,
for their own purposes and selfish gains.

But united together, with truth as our compass and
compassion for our fellow man in our hearts,
those who would tear us asunder and thereby rob us of
our liberty, our livelihood, and our self-government
will not prevail.”

– Unknown

“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.
Though passion may have strained it must not break our
bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching
from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart
and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the
chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will
be, by the better angels of our nature.”
