**White House. Independence Day, 2006 by the President of the\
United States of America a Proclamation**

<http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/06/20060626-6.html>

On July 4, 1776, our Nation\'s Founders declared \"That these United
Colonies are, and of Right, ought to be free and Independent States.\"
This declaration marked a great milestone in the history of human
freedom. On the 230th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, we pay tribute to the courage and dedication of those who
created this country, and we celebrate the values of liberty and
equality that make our country strong.

The patriots of the Revolutionary War acted on the beliefs that \"all
men are created equal\" and \"that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights.\" By advancing these ideals,
generations of Americans have unleashed the hope of freedom for people
in every corner of the world.

As we celebrate our independence, Americans can take pride in our
history and look to the future with confidence. We offer our gratitude
to all the American patriots, past and present, who have sought to
advance freedom and lay the foundations of peace. Because of their
sacrifice, this country remains a beacon of hope for all who dream of
liberty and a shining example to the world of what a free people can
achieve. May God continue to bless the United States of America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim July 4, 2006, as
Independence Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe
with all due ceremony our Independence Day as a time to honor our
Founders and their legacy of freedom and remember with thankfulness the
sacrifice of our men and women in uniform.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty six day of
June, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence
of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

GEORGE W. BUSH

**U.S. Department of State. July 4th \-- Celebrating Independence Day in
the United States**

<http://usinfo.state.gov/scv/life_and_culture/holidays/july_4.html>

Independence Day is regarded as the birthday of the United States as a
free and independent nation. Most Americans simply call it the \"Fourth
of July,\" on which date it always falls.

Independence Day is regarded as the birthday of the United States as a
free and independent nation. Most Americans simply call it the \"Fourth
of July,\" on which date it always falls.

The holiday recalls the signing of the Declaration of Independence on
July 4, 1776. At that time, the people of the 13 British colonies
located along the eastern coast of what is now the United States were
involved in a war over what they considered unjust treatment by the king
and parliament in Britain. The war began in 1775. As the war continued,
the colonists realized that they were fighting not just for better
treatment; they were fighting for freedom from England\'s rule. The
Declaration of Independence, signed by leaders from the colonies, stated
this clearly, and for the first time in an official document the
colonies were referred to as the United States of America.

In the United States, July 4th is a day of picnics and patriotic
parades, a night of concerts and fireworks. The flying of the American
flag (which also occurs on Memorial Day and other holidays) is
widespread.

**The National Archives (NARA). The Declaration of Independence: A
Transcription**

<http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/declaration_transcript.html>

**IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.**

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people
to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature\'s God entitle them, a
decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

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.\--That
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed, \--That 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.\--Such has been the patient sufferance of these
Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter
their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of
Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all
having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over
these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for
the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend
to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large
districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of
Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and
formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,
uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records,
for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his
measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with
manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others
to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of
Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise;
the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of
invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that
purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing
to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the
conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent
to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their
offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of
Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the
Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to
the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to
our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to
their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders
which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring
Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging
its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument
for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and
altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested
with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection
and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and
destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to
compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with
circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most
barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to
bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their
friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to
bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages,
whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all
ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in
the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by
repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have
warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend
an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the
circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to
their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the
ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would
inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have
been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must,
therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace
Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in
General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world
for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority
of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That
these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent
States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown,
and that all political connection between them and the State of Great
Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and
Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace,
contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and
Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of
this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine
Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and
our sacred Honor.

**The Fourth of July 2006**

<http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/006825.html>

On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the
Continental Congress, starting the 13 colonies on the road to freedom as
a sovereign nation. As always, this most American of holidays will be
marked by parades, fireworks and backyard barbecues across the country.\
\
**2.5 million**\
In July 1776, the number of people living in the colonies. (1776

**Better than 50-50**\
The odds that the beans in your side dish of baked beans came from North
Dakota, Michigan or Nebraska, which produced 60 percent of the nation's
dry, edible beans in 2005. Another popular July 4th side dish is corn on
the cob. Florida, California and Georgia together accounted for 51
percent of the sweet corn produced nationally in 2005.
[http://www.nass.usda.gov](http://www.nass.usda.gov/)

**Please Pass the Potato Salad**\
Potato salad and potato chips are popular food items at July 4th
barbecues. One-half of the nation's spuds were produced in Idaho or
Washington in 2005.
[http://www.nass.usda.gov](http://www.nass.usda.gov/)

**More than 68 million**\
Number of Americans who said they have taken part in a barbecue during
the previous year. It's probably safe to assume a lot of these events
took place on Independence Day.\

\
**Fireworks\
\$201.9 million**\

In 2005, the dollar value of U.S. imports of American flags; the vast
majority of this amount\
(\$5 million) was for U.S. flags made in China.

**Patriotic-Sounding Names\
30**\
Number of places nationwide with "liberty" in its name. The most
populous one is Liberty, Mo. (28,528). Iowa, with four, has more of
these places than any other state: Libertyville, New Liberty, North
Liberty and West Liberty.

-   Thirty-two places are named "eagle" --- after the majestic bird that
    serves as our national symbol. (Places include cities, towns,
    villages and census-designated places.) The most populous such place
    is Eagle Pass, Texas, with 24,847 residents. There is also Eagle
    County, Colo., with a population of 47,530.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Eleven places have "independence" in their name. The most populous
    of these is Independence, Mo., with 111,023 residents.

-   Five places adopted the name "freedom." Freedom, Calif., with 6,000
    residents, has the largest population among these.

-   There is one place named "patriot" - Patriot, Ind., with a
    population of 195.

-   And what could be more fitting than spending the Fourth of July in a
    place called "America"? There are five such places in the country,
    with the most populous being American Fork, Utah, population
    22,387.\

On July 4, 1776, Americans claimed their independence from Britain and
Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to
the \"land of the free and the home of the brave\" so they can begin
their American Dream.\
\
The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people.
Each year on July 4, Americans celebrate that freedom and independence
with barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. Through the Internet we
are learning about and communicating with people of different nations,
with different languages and different races throughout the world.
Bringing the world closer with understanding and knowledge can only
benefit all nations.\
\
We invite all nations to celebrate with Americans online this Fourth of
July.\
\
Happy Birthday, America!
