The Ruth Institute Declaration on Unalienable Rights: MAKE THE FAMILY GREAT AGAIN
"We Hold these Truths to be Self-Evident"
Life, Marital Fidelity and Family should be Priorities of US Foreign Policy
To the Honorable Donald J. Trump, President of the United States:
You campaigned on the promise to Make America Great Again. Your Secretary of State, Michael Pompeo, established a Commission on Unalienable Rights
to advise his department in its dealings with international organizations. We, the undersigned, wish to encourage you and the Secretary of
State to Make the Family Great Again.
Whereas:
Marriage and the family are universal institutions for the stability of society and the continuation of the human race.
Loyalty and fidelity are universally recognized as virtues.
Children need their mother and father.
Stable loving families provide the basis for strong societies, including thriving economies, national security and international peace.
The United Nations and other international organizations often work at cross-purposes to these important truths.
Making America great again requires that we make the family great again, both at home and abroad.
Therefore, we urge the Commission on Unalienable Rights to work for recognition of the following fundamental rights:
The right of every child to a relationship with his or her natural mother and father except for an unavoidable tragedy.
The right of every person to know the identity of his or her biological parents.
The right to life from conception to natural death.
The right of families to educate their own children in their faith tradition and values without being undermined by the state.
Mr. President, we, the undersigned, respectfully ask that you instruct Secretary Pompeo to use these principles as guides for the United States
when dealing with governments and international organizations.
