The Citizen's Oath
I [ Your Name ] do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will support and defend
the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take this obligation freely,
without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;
and that I will well and faithfully
discharge the rights and responsibilities afforded to me
as a Citizen of the United States of America.
So help me God.
(OR This I affirm under penalty of perjury.)
Why An Oath?
The Citizen’s Oath is a voluntary, personal act of commitment to the values that define us: liberty, justice, accountability, and equality under the law. We don’t take the oath because we have to. We take it because we believe in what this nation can be — and we’re ready to stand up for it.
Those who serve in the US Armed Forces take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, as do government workers, and elected leaders. Naturalized citizens take an oath and forswear prior allegiances.
But many natural-born US citizens haven't.
Perhaps it's time we should.
In times of profound uncertainty, we must reconnect with the rules that power our nation. This country belongs to all of us, and its founding document is more than just words on parchment. It’s a promise.
