We, the citizens of Vashon-Maury Island,
Washington, are unwilling to sell at any price... our dignity, our freedom, or our love
for justice. We
acknowledge and accept the risks of citizenship, knowing that
our freedom and dignity depend on our being faithful to our
principles, whatever the cost.
Therefore, We, the undersigned, do affix our names to
this understanding and this pledge:
the understanding that what we strive for is equal justice
for all. Anything less is not justice at
all. And it is
to the realization of this understanding, and to our
love for one another, that we pledge our lives, our
fortunes, and our sacred honor.

(If
you live and vote on Vashon Island, you are welcome to
add your name to this. Just let me know mark@gpln.com
and once I am
able to verify your name, I will add it to the list. If you are from some other locality, I invite you
to copy this page, replace the name of your community and circulate
it there. When enough people are
willing to take this pledge, we will have our country
back. And all we will have to do to get it back, is go to the polls and
vote. Of course, if not enough people feel as we
do--whether they sign or not--we won't have the country we
were hoping for.
In
any event, we will know soon, I think, if the Great American Experiment
is destined, at least in the short run, to be a success or a
failure. Soon enough, we will
know if we have kept
the faith... if we have taught our children well... if we
understand what freedom means... if we are willing to do what it
takes to preserve our heritage.)
