Thank you gonzo309,
We should all take a moment to contemplate how far we've come from the noble aspirations of a free and determined people. It should be noted that while the particulars of the day are different. Several of the listed grievances apply once more. Our government and in particular our executive branch has been acting in a most imperious way.
Here a a few of the grievances that could easily be said were contemporary in the form of executive orders and runaway bureaucracies exerting arbitrary power over us.

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever."

Now, in many ways they are not literally doing these things in the same fashion, but through devious and deceitful ways accomplishing the same tyrannies.

I do not believe they respect the original intent, are upholding their oaths, and in so doing deserve the same respect as King George.
Respectfully,
O.A.

Saw it. A great rendition. Very emotional for me.
I love this country and what it stands for. When rendered the way it was, it really brings the point home.

Not just military . There were players, owners, and team patriarchs . Got to admit got misty eyed, until the tyrant's wife got on. Those words on her lips was blasphemous! !

The Declaration of Independence pre-game was beautiful and moving and at the very end, Dear God, two wives of 2 politicians that have left our Veterans dying from delays in care as well as awful care !!!! Made me utterly sick to my stomach !!!

The Declaration of Independence is often read during the super bowl.

that was the highlight.

Is that the same standing army that occupies about 1,000 U.S. military bases in over 140 foreign countries? Is this what the U.S. should be proud of?
