This document, regularly known as the Heart Mountain Fair Play Committee Manifesto, attempts to ignite a united response against the violation(s) of their constitutional rights. This committee and the ensuing manifesto were primarily focused on protesting the forced conscription of imprisoned Japanese-Americans into the United States Army. The argument in this manifesto is quite intriguing in its underlying tone of civic pride. While they are demanding an upheaval of the discrimination placed against them, they are still eager and willing to defend the constitutional rights not being granted to them. This committee did not carry a tone of animosity in its argument(s), but rather called for justice and free will to be restored to all individuals who called themselves American. The Japanese-Americans, through this committee, were not looking for a dramatic or revolutionary upheaval of the system, but rather a return to the promises and institutions that founded the United States.

We would gladly sacrifice our lives to protect and uphold the principles and ideals of our country as set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, for on its inviolability depends the freedom, liberty, justice, and protection of all people including Japanese-Americans and all other minority groups.
