Independence Day Coming, Part 1 of 6
Whereas July 4th, Independence Day celebrates the government, June 21, Responsible Liberty Day, celebrates the people and the people’s proposition: the preamble to the Constitution for the USA or the U.S. preamble for short. Statutory law that does not conform to the U.S. preamble may be amended.

Independence Day Coming, Part 2 of 6
As we prepare for the 4th of July, 2019, the press-failure wonders what the Washington, D.C. celebration will be like. Political division prevails in the USA, not only between two major parties but within each party and in the presidency.
The government will again lamely celebrate claimed political independence from England. War was initiated by local farmer-militia who liberated Worcester Massachusetts on September 6, 1774; the English never returned to Worcester homes and offices. Poets attributed the war to the “shot heard round the world” seven months later. But the USA’s colonial-English psychology is unfortunately maintained by tradition. For example, the plea “[whatever-God-is] save the Queen” has its U.S. surrogate.

Independence Day Coming, Part 3 of 6
The 2019 Independence Day will be propagandized as the nation’s 243 birthday. But the American Revolutionary war accomplished only the 1783 Treaty of Paris: England recognized the eastern-seaboard’s former English colonies as 13 globally free and independent states. The 13 states ratified the treaty on January 14, 1784. It’s called the Treaty of Paris because England surrendered foremost to France, the dominant military power at Yorktown, VA in 1781.
In 1787, 12 of the eastern seaboard states held a convention and proposed a global nation. On June 21, 1788, 9 states established the USA (231 years ago). Two globally-free states joined before operations began under 11 states on March 4, 1789. Two states remained globally-free for many months. (Louisiana was then part of a French territory under Spanish flag.)
The new global nation was uniquely predicated on individual self-discipline of by and for the people so as to encourage responsible human liberty. About 1/3 of the delegates to the 1787 convention did not sign the 1787 U.S. Constitution, some because they wanted to preserve the lame Confederation of States.

Despite tradition, the people’s proposition, the U.S. preamble, does not separate church and state. The proposition offers civic, civil, and legal collaboration to provide 5 public institutions in order to encourage each citizen’s liberty to responsibly pursue happiness whether personal religion is involved or not.
The 5 public institutions---Union, Justice, Tranquility, defense, and welfare---do not include religion, leaving the individual citizen’s use of religion a private choice. In other words, pursuit of religion is reserved for responsible human liberty. That the U.S. preamble is secular is a myth. That the government should not partner with religion is a fact.
We dread any public display of religion-government partnership in July 4th, 2019 celebrations, unless divine humility is expressed, such as “whatever-God-is.” “Whatever-God-is” helps the theist maintain appreciation that he or she cannot dictate-to or describe whatever-God-is, especially if it is an intelligent being.
Clarifying that the U.S. preamble’s proposition prevents government partnership with religion in order to encourage individual citizens to accept responsible liberty regarding spirituality or none is key to an achievable better future.

Independence Day Coming, Part 5 of 6
On June 21, 2019, 7 people at Bluebonnet Library, Baton Rouge, LA, publically introduced to the world Responsible Liberty Day, commemorating the establishment of the USA as a global nation on June 21, 1788. Perhaps fewer than 1000 people were informed of the meeting. We intend to celebrate Responsible Liberty Day in the USA so appeal to 329 million Americans.
About 67 people collaborated over the last 5 years so as to produce this unexpected articulation: The U.S. preamble proposes responsible human liberty. Dreams come true under free speech. Our work has developed into collaboration to discover the U.S. preamble’s ultimate proposition, which may happen in a distant-future generation.
We urge people who care about responsible human liberty for the continuum of living citizens to share A Civic People’s message. Use our blog, promotethepreamble.blogspot.com; Facebook Page, “A Civic People of the United States”; join our Mail Chimp mass email account; personal Facebook accounts; our business card; and, more importantly, word of mouth to spread the message: a better future is available under the U.S. preamble’s proposition with the-objective-truth as the standard for discovery.

It does not surprise us that civic self-discipline is a hard sell: The U.S. preamble’s civic, civil, and legal proposition has been obfuscated and neglected for 231 years.
We’d like to meet with the elected or appointed government official who has a record of performance under the U.S. preamble’s proposition so as to enlist his or her help in promoting civic, civil, and legal use of the U.S. preamble in the USA. The U.S. preamble’s proposition leaves no room for allegiance to foreign or alien powers. Yet many candidates proudly express alienation to the U.S. preamble’s proposition.
We hope that at least one candidate in Louisiana’s October elections will run on a platform featuring trust-in and commitment to the U.S. preamble’s proposition along with the candidate’s interpretation of the U.S. preamble.
