I am a citizen.

I am not a second-class subject. I bend a knee to no one.

I am a member of my community, a juror-in-waiting, a paying resident of my city and county, a citizen of my state, and a citizen of the USA.

No office in this land is greater than mine for I am a citizen and citizens alone can cement their will in this design.

Though some are chosen and housed in great buildings, these office holders have limitations put on them which are not negotiable.

No rights are greater than mine for all our rights are equal and only end but upon colliding with another's.

Those of the office-holder are much less for they are bound by and limited in scope and scale by our common agreement, the Constitution.

No responsibilities are greater than mine for mine and those of my fellows carry the weight of wisdom that would be applied in producing our great country.

Those of the office-holder are reduced for their simple tasks of carrying out small things I and my fellow citizens require.
