Abstract
As MEMBERS of the OMAHA DE PORRES CLUB we firmly believe that: ALL MEMBERS of the ONE HUMAN RACE, without any exception, whatsoever, have been equally endowed by the CREATOR, through HIS promulgation of the NATURAL LAW, with the following fundamental HUMAN RIGHTS: A THE RIGHT TO LIVE A FULL AND COMPLETE LIFE, to the utmost of their, capacity, both in PRIVATE and in PUBLIC. Consequently, we recognize the following inalienable rights in each and every member of the HUMAN RACE 1. The right to be recognized as a MEMBER of the HUMAN RACE. every member of the HUMAN RACE. 2. The right to be treated with the respect and dignity DUE RACE. 3. The right to be integrated into the SOLIDARITY of the HUMAN and MOST COMPLETE LIFE POSSIBLE 4. The right to choose the BEST means to living the FULLEST B. Consequently, since every individual human Right implies a corresponding OBLIGATION on the part of others to respect that right, always keeping in view the COMMON GOOD, we as MEMBERS of THE OMAHA DE PORRES CLUB, utterly condemn as UNJUST every violation of the above mentioned inalienable human rights Specifically do we condemn as UNJUST: 1. The estimating of some members of the HUMAN RACE as essentially inferior human beings. 2. Anything and everything that tends to FRUSTRATE in any way the living of the FULLEST AND MOST COMPLETE life POSSIBLE in another. 3. Every form of COMPULSORY SEGREGATION. 4. Any and all forms of DISCRIMINATION against individuals because of COLOR only C. We recognize the above not only as violations of JUSTICE, which requires that we render unto every HUMAN BEING his DUE, but, also as violations of CHARITY, which further requires that We LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR AS OURSELVES D. CONSEQUENTLY, as MEMBERS OF THE OMAHA DE PORRES CLUB, we pledge ourselves to regulate our own dealings with others in accordance, with the above TRUTHS and PRINCIPLES, and, further we pledge ourselves to strive in every way possible to get others to do the same.
