Declaration of Facts

Declaration of Facts is the basis of justice in the statement of one’s testimony. Your testimony is powerful. When you state the facts of an event in a testimony, then it can be admitted as evidence in a court of law. As opposed to telling a friend or writing a complaint which may be considered hearsay.

How did The United States of America get its start? As a matter of fact with a declaration! It took courage to write the self-evident facts. But look at the result of the courageous men and the women who supported them changed the world! This is the power of the testimony in a Declaration of Facts document.

Testimony is the Cornerstone of Truth

In American Common Law, a testimony is the cornerstone of truth. Maxims of law state the following about declarations (or affidavits):

The burden of proof lies on him who asserts the fact, not on him who denies it, because from the very nature of things a negative cannot be proof.
An unrebutted affidavit stands as truth.
Truth is expressed in the form of an affidavit.
No court and no judge can overturn or disregard or abrogate somebody’s Affidavit of truth.
The only one who has any capacity or right or responsibility or knowledge to rebut your Affidavit of truth is the one who is adversely affected by it. Its his job, his right, his responsibility to speak for himself.
