An Updated Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the Principles of the United States of America;
That all people, regardless of gender, race, religion, or whom they love,
are created equal with unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness,
That Governments derive just power from the consent of the Governed
to uphold these rights,
That Absolute Power corrupts, and a robust balance of power
is necessary to defend against Tyranny and Despotism,
That Freedom of Speech and Assembly must be upheld
to spotlight Corruption and safeguard minority rights,
And that our Diversity of Cultures, Ideas, and Opinions
is our source of Strength and Resiliency.
