The Declaration of American Values reflects the consensus of the shared values that form the basis of America’s greatness. The values affirmed in this Declaration are transgenerational and foundational. They are what make America a great Nation. At this crucial time in history as we celebrate the birth of this revolutionary experiment in self-government, we believe it is necessary to declare the values that unify us and that form the fabric of the United States of America.

Read the Declaration of American Values and on the Liberty Counsel web site. You can join in support of these values by posting a comment on our Life, Liberty and Family blog. Click on the "post a comment" link at the bottom of the blog.

It is fitting that we contemplate these shared values on this 232nd anniversary of American independence.

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, which announced the colonies' separation from Great Britain. One of the signers, John Adams, believed that the day would be celebrated as a day for remembrance with "solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty."

Liberty Counsel prays that you and your family have a blessed Independence Day.

Mat Staver on "Just In ... With Laura Ingraham" on FoxNews Channel Tonight

The following debate has just been confirmed for this afternoon.  Mathew D. Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of the Liberty University School of Law, is scheduled to appear on the television program, "Just In ... With Laura Ingraham," which airs on the Fox News Channel at 5:30 p.m. ET.

The program will feature a debate between Mat and Mike Rogers, a homosexual activist who owns BlogActive.com. The topic is the California Marriage Protection Act. The Act, which has been certified to appear on the November ballot in California, will amend the state constitution to preserve marriage as the union between one man and one woman.

The California Supreme Court has ruled that California must recognize same-sex marriages, but the amendment would reverse the effect of the Court order and undo all of the California same-sex marriages.
