To amend the 13 Amendment of the Constitution of the United States to remove the legalization of slavery in our country

Created by D.P. on January 24, 2013

Since the addiction of the 13 Amendment to our constitution which abolished slavery, it have been a little known and little taught fact that our constitution have alway maintained the legalization of enslaving some part of the American population. With the election of our first African American president this legalization of slavery remains enshrined in the very symbol that stands for Democracy and freedom for all. To spread Democratic values and hope to other parts of our world when we ourselves can not assure our own people of the hope that we are willing to live by our words. To live by our words in 2013, knowing or not that some Americans can be legally held in slavery as dictated by the 13 Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America is a word that insults our nation.
