The Declaration of Independence

This is the second part of "A Powerful Performance." Here, the Declaration is read by many popular actors, including Mel Gibson, Michael Douglas, Whoopi Goldberg, Winona Ryder, and others. To hear it read with such zeal is very inspiring. Think of this document whenever you think of the role of government.

the Declaration itself isnt retarded...however this commercial is extremely retarded...i dnt need whoopi goldberg and the guy from american history x reading me the shit.

While you have a right to call this video retarded, as some of the actors reading may not exactly embody the highest of moral or ethical standards, it is important to remember that the Declaration of Independence is not in the National Archives just because it looks pretty. The Declaration of Independence is essentially, as a document, one of the primary blocks in our nation's foundation.

Is it me, or is the actor who reads after Whoopi Goldberg the same one from "The Illusionist," Edward Norton?

hear that?"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."

This is pretty powerful.

Many of todays PolySci politicians better pay attention to this said document as some have caused a variance to the rules set forth in the document and I would say are subject to immediate removal from office

Mel Gibson has changed his tune to conform with the New False patriotism.

The Declaration of Independence was first published in full outside North America by the Belfast Newsletter on the 23rd of August, 1776.A copy of the document was being transported to London via ship when bad weather forced the vessel to port at Derry. The document was then carried on horseback to Belfast for the continuation of its voyage to England, whereupon a copy was made for the Belfast newspaper
