DR. EVERETT HERSHEY SHARES ON HUMAN RIGHTS AT THE iCHANGE NATIONS™ - HUMAN RIGHTS GLOBAL CONGRESS™ LAUNCH

Dr. Everett Hersey and Amb. Dr. Clyde Rivers

It was a great privilege to be a part of the unveiling of the iChange Nations™ - Human Rights Global Congress™, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I believe that this organization will be one of the most effective teachers of Human Rights in the world today. I say this because I saw the vision, not to promote the rights of one nation, religion, or individual, but to promote the rights of all humans.  

  

I was able to speak on the Human Rights Article 19 of the United Nations, ”Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”

We will not always agree in life, but that does not mean that every individual should not be able to state what he or she believes. The surest way to destroy all the other Human Rights is to not allow someone to speak out when their rights have been violated.

The Human Rights should never be up for a vote of popular opinion. If this happens, you will see the destruction of a freethinking society. It becomes one of tyranny in a very short period of time. As Benjamin Franklin said “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”

The only way to ensure that the rights of all men, women and children are protected is not through the strength of our police force or military, but through the teaching and the practice of living the Golden Rule – “Do not do anything to another that you not want them to do to you.”
