We interrupt our regularly scheduled Design Quota to bring you the June 7th, 1776 edition.

It's a pretty important date in American history, one of the most important. On June 7th, 1776 Richard Henry Lee brought the following resolution before the Continental Congress of the United Colonies:

"Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and inde­pendent states, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."

This is our declaration of independence. The Virginia Resolution on Independence was the catalyst to our freedom. 

Thanks to Katie for her inspiration and passion for American history ;)
