A Democracy Takes Action!

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable 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.”

- The words above are directly pulled from The American Declaration of Independence which sets forth a fundamental principle upon which democratic government is founded.

Some governments in a democracy do not grant the fundamental freedoms enumerated by Jefferson and other signers of this Declaration; because governments are created to protect the freedoms that every individual possesses by virtue of his or her existence, it is imperative to exercise our rights and take action if those rights are not forthcoming!

This captures was taken at Deer Creek just north of Indianapolis, Indiana. The protest of farmers had gathered just before the Farm Aid concert.
