The John Galt Pledge
"I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live
for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."
|
We the undersigned, take this pledge as a personal Declaration of
Independence. We each, as sovereign individuals, respectively assert
the exclusive right to our own lives, our liberty and our property, as
guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. As government is properly instituted to
protect our rights, we oppose, and declare as unconstitutional, all actions
taken by government that violate the very rights it is charged with defending.
We support a return to the principle of individualism upon which this country
was founded. And rejecting any initiation of the use of force as being
wholy inappropriate, we support a society based strictly upon voluntary
association and free trade among its people.
To date, 244 individuals have taken the John Galt Pledge.
