@beschlossdc Did he remember to change "…established by the state" to "…established FOR A state"? :)
@BeschlossDC Looks like he crossed out the word "Jerks" a lot.
@tinimarty8 Do you see anything about "marriage" being a right?
@BeschlossDC Fascinating to see!Although Thomas Paine was the real author of the Declaration. Jefferson just edited it and took credit.
@BeschlossDC I would love to read the unedited version.
.@beschlossdc One of the best examples of a peer edit I have seen.
@BeschlossDC where is this original draft located?
@BeschlossDC @mathof1 Where does it say about automatic weapons?
@BeschlossDC @Lerepco thanks for the RT! :)
@BeschlossDC @strobetalbott Just goes to show that even the best writer can use a good editor.
@BeschlossDC @EWErickson Not to be confused with the Constitution which was revised by Anthony Kennedy and John Roberts.
@BeschlossDC @mental_floss Amazing!
@BeschlossDC @PaulaEbbenWBZ do u suppose he knew what he was preserving when he kept this?
@BeschlossDC @mental_floss How wrong is it that I read that subtext as "w revisions by JJ Abrams and B. Franklin"?
