Our Vision

Our Vision

Our vision includes a Declaration of Human Rights that applies to all citizens of the United States, without exception or distinction of any kind. The rights we present here were originally a project of Eleanor Roosevelt in conjunction with the United Nations in 1948. We have adapted them for use in these times, but the essence remains the same.

Preamble

All people are entitled to the rights and freedoms described in this declaration without distinction of any kind. This includes, but is not limited to race, sex, language. religious denomination or status, sexual orientation, gender identity, political opinions, economic status, national or social origin, property status, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction or exception shall be made on the basis of political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory from which a person originates.


These rights apply to every citizen of the United States. Furthermore, they shall not to be restricted or overturned by any referenda or legislation proposed by any individual or group of individuals. Legislation shall be used only to expand civil and human rights, not restrict them. In the exercise of one's rights and freedoms, limitations apply solely for the purpose of ensuring respect for the rights and freedoms of others, and to ensure the health and safety of the public. No individual's rights are more important than another's.
