Description

“The Declaration of Independence is a religious document”

Two items. ALS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, March 17, 1991. A letter regarding the state of religion in the United States. In full: “The Declaration of Independence is a religious document. Our Michigan Constitution written with morals taken from the Northwest Ordinance reads, ‘religion, morality and knowledge being essential for human well being and good government education shall forever be encouraged.’ Our leaders and our people are not as religious as they were. This is a danger because Jefferson wrote, ‘The God who gave us liberty gave us life. Can any nation’s liberties remain secure if it removes the conviction they are the gift of God?’ Fortunately President and Mrs. Bush are both religious;” and a glossy 8 x 10 photo of Romney as governor, signed in blue ink. Letter in fine condition, photo in very good condition, with a central vertical crease and scattered impressions. RRAuction COA.
