Carter Braxton, Thomas Malaren, John Hart, David Farrar, Thomas Lynch Jr., Leah Lax, George Read, Laurie Roth, Lewis Morris, David Weldon, Stephen Hopkins, Carl Swensson, William Ellery and Kevin Richard Powell.
Who are they?
In a word…Patriots.
Braxton, Hart, Lynch Jr., Read, Morris, Hopkins and Ellery were among the 56 who signed their names to the Declaration of Independence.
The others, Malaren, Farrar, Lax, Roth, Weldon, Swensson and Powell…Patriots too.
The latter group were the plaintiffs, last Thursday in a courtroom in Atlanta, Georgia, as Obama’s eligibility to appear on that state’s ballot was held.
Were the 56 a great deal different than the 7?
No.
The 56 gave birth to a nation of laws and stated their case in the Declaration. That nation was, via the Constitution, entrusted to the people.
The 7, guided by the Constitution, are carrying the torch having stated their case in a Georgia courtroom.
