| Hi John, Two hundred fifty years ago, a small group of ordinary Americans took an extraordinary step.
By signing the Declaration of Independence, they weren’t just breaking from a king.
They were affirming a bold idea: that people are capable of governing themselves, and that liberty depends on responsibility, courage, and action.
The Declaration didn’t promise ease or comfort. It grounded our nation in timeless civic values, beginning with a simple truth:
“All men are created equal,” and are endowed with unalienable rights, among them “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Those words are a call to action.
The Declaration goes on to remind us that “Governments are instituted among Men” to protect those rights.
But when they fail, it is the right and responsibility of the people to act. America’s story has been shaped by citizens willing to step forward.
That same spirit is at the heart of Americans for Prosperity’s “One Small Step” initiative, commemorating our nation’s 250th anniversary.
This January, your one small step is simple but powerful.
👉 Add your name and sign the Declaration of Independence, affirming the principles that unite us and committing to the civic values that keep liberty alive.
