“…we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” – July 4, 1776
This is what the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence stated. And now we are asking you to also make a pledge – a pledge of just $20.21 per month.
A pledge to Restore Virginia Now.
In declaring war on the British tyrant King George, the brave men of 1776 risked everything. We are not at that point.
But just as important is our upcoming fight against tyranny in Virginia in 2021.
You see, some of the signers, like the Adamses of Massachusetts and the Lees of Virginia, already had broad political experience and had earned a considerable degree of fame. Some, like Benjamin Franklin and George Wythe, were known and highly respected throughout the colonies. Others were unheard of, chosen as delegates because they were willing to serve, several as last-minute replacements for men who had refused to vote for independence or to support it.
Some signed reluctantly. We have John Adams’ word on that: “…there were several who signed with regret, and several others with many doubts and much lukewarmedness.” But none signed casually. They were clearly aware, as Abraham Clark of New Jersey put it, that they would have “freedom or a halter.”
Here in Virginia, after five years of hard-fought war, we secured that freedom.
Our goal today is the same – to secure our life, liberty, and our property.
On July 4, 1776, those brave men, many of them Virginians, declared their independence from a tyrant that taxed them heavily, tried to confiscate their firearms, and ruled over their lives.
And today, we Virginians suffer the same in 2020.
In 2021 we will take back our Virginia and send the Richmond Radicals and tyrant Governor King Northam packing. The fight is here. The fight is now.
Will you help?
