The
Declaration of Independence makes very
clear how the colonists expect to be treated as “free people” and what good
government does. Good government requires pursuing the common good, cultivating
and protecting the rule of law and the sovereignty of the people, encouraging
material prosperity and growth, and providing access to justice, security, and
peace for the citizens. (Danielle Allen, Our
Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of
Equality, p. 247)

TOV AFFIRMATIONS
TOV
AFFIRMATIONS:
(TOV means protect life, preserve life, make life more function and increase the quality of life.)
This
is the beginning of a new day.
You
have been given this day to use as you will.
You
can waste it or use it for TOV.
What
you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.
When
tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever.
In
its place is something that you have left behind.
Let
it be something TOV.
FOUR
THINGS YOU CAN'T RECOVER:
The
stone after the throw.
The
word after it's said.
The
occasion after it's missed.
The
time after it's gone.
Do
TOV Choose Life!
