While members of Light Foot come from a variety of backgrounds, we all have one thing in common. That is our belief in the founding principles of this great nation. These principles are founded in two documents that are at the center of the American ideal, and include  the "inalienable" Rights of all mankind. When our nation was formed, it was a belief that these Rights are NOT given to you by the government, but are Rights that belong to the People, and it is the job of the government to protect these Rights. These ideals are laid out in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights (as part of the United States Constitution). As such, we have included both documents here, to remind people what it means to be an American, and what we believe is worth fighting for.
