# Of the Users, By the Users, For the Users

![We The Users](/images/wetheusers.png)

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all users are created equal. That to secure their rights, networks are created, deriving their just powers from the consent of the networked.

We here highly resolve that the open standards of the Internet shall not have been written in vain. That this network, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that the network of the users, by the users, for the users, shall not perish from the earth.
