Considering how it has suffered under almost CONSTANT ASSUALT over the past 6 years, JULY FOURTH is always a good time to say thanks for one of this country's greatest achievements...
THE BILL OF RIGHTS
The Bill of Rights: A Transcription
Note: The following text is a transcription of the first ten amendments to the Constitution in their original form. These amendments were ratified December 15, 1791, and form what is known as the "Bill of Rights."
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UNIVERSAL THANKSGIVING should be offered by all that this BACKBONE of what AMERICA truly stands for shall survive any single one man posessed of too much power & too little sense...

After I posted my flag record animation I found the picture of the "flag girl" cabinet card I posted last 4th of July along with an additional "flag girl" from our collection. Thought I would put them up again.
Have a star spangled holiday!

Vintage, we do need to thin down the collection but there are some cards that you will need to buy from our estate. That is one of them. I would love to find who "Baby Sutton" was. Seems they would not have written "Baby Sutton" on the negative if it was a family picture. I have not been able to locate any theatrical family called Sutton from the period but I keep looking. Research is the thing I love most about the internet.

Pixiamom, pretty cute!
Our weather forecast for tomorrow in Maryland is for thunder showers. BOO! Looks like our cookout will be a washout.
Maybe I'll make crab cakes instead.
