Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security

We live in the state of Arizona and we can’t believe that she the Ex-Govenor made it to the appointment of Homeland Security. Oh my God! We are astonished and heartbroken. As an American who believes in life, liberty and justice for all along with the persuit of happiness, can’t understand (even though I’ve read it)how they can put through this REAL ID. What happened to our right to freedom of movement? Our one of seven sons recently moved to another state and applied for an ID. Denied because AZ has a lock on it. How can he get around this so that he can be gainfully employed. Wasn”t asking for a drivers license just an ID. Help we hate this law, what can we do to stop it? Thank you so much for making us aware of our rights being taken away. All you patroits ought to speak up LOUDLY AGAINST THIS NOW!
