It was a beautiful, crisp September morning, and I looked up from my Wall Street Journal to watch the sunrise over the East River.
It was a peaceful moment, a pause to reflect on the beauty of the landscape and my place in life. That is the first thing I remember about Sept. 11, 2001: how sharp the horizon was as dawn illuminated lower Manhattan. (Read more)
Seven years ago today our country watched in horror as terrorists used hijacked commercial aircraft to attack us. The aircraft were taken over and piloted by men intent on trading their lives for hundreds of thousands of innocent American lives… (Read more)
It's been a month since the Senate amnesty bill went down in glorious (red, white and blue) flames, but its outraged and bitter proponents are still engaged in character assassination -- calling those of us who opposed the monumental fraud bigots and racists. (Read more)
“…how little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy! -- Thomas Jefferson

The Declaration Alliance is a civic public policy and issues advocacy organization that aggressively defends the Founding principles of the American Republic.
DA and its political action committee, DAPAC, form the "political" counterpart to the Declaration Foundation, a non-profit educational organization founded in 1996 by Alan Keyes.
DA seeks to influence policy and legislation in several critical areas. Our current focus is on organizing, funding and supporting initiatives to protect and defend our God-given, inalienable rights, enshrined in principle in the Declaration of Independence, and codified in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.
Most critically under assault by out-of-control courts is our fundamental right to the free exercise of religious convictions, and assertion of our rights of conscience. This unconstitutional agenda of judicial usurpation of the people's religious liberty is coming down to a profound public policy and political battle to:
Protect our First Amendment right to free speech and free exercise of religious beliefs--including our founding mandate to freely and publicly acknowledge the authority of the Creator God. (See http://www.persuade.tv/)
Replace the income tax with a simple and equitable national sales tax.
Protect the right to keep and bear arms.
Protect, defend and uphold our national security and sovereignty, at home and abroad, by prosecuting with determination the war on terror in all its dimensions. This objective requires that we reject partisan political maneuvering with the potential to jeopardize our military men and women in foreign theaters of war, and that we secure America’s borders against foreign invasion. (See http://www.minutemanhq.com/; http://www.operationcompletion.com/; and http://www.declarationalliance.us/why_we_fight.php)
Independent of any partisan considerations, DA has essentially only one political loyalty--the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. Like our Founding Fathers, DA's political action is wholeheartedly devoted to higher purposes than just the gaining of office or the protection of a particular material interest. DA enters the arena to do battle for the liberty and justice that it is our God-given duty to preserve.
At DA, we believe that the principles of the Declaration are eternally true, and form the basis for American life, liberty, and happiness. Please join us in carrying out this conviction in the tumultuous arena of the American political struggle, for the benefit of our country and fellow citizens.
