TCDLA and statewide Declaration coordinators Robert Fickman of Houston and Chuck Lanehart of Lubbock thank the following folks who organized Declaration readings in some 144 places in Texas, California, Louisiana, Peru and elsewhere this year.
This 13‑year‑old tradition continues to inspire the public, the media and most importantly those who participate in these patriotic celebrations of liberty. The Great Document probably means something different to each person who reads. However, regardless of our political and social backgrounds, we all read to protect the rights and liberties that we hold dear and that we fight to defend every day.
Robb expressed his personal opinion in his introductory remarks to the Houston reading, “To me it’s an annual opportunity to remind the tyrants In the court‑ house and elsewhere that we don’t accept their tyranny and we will fight them for as long as takes.”
These intrepid Declaration organizers are to be congratulated:
