/* Signing of The Deceleration of Independence */
Following her return, Jefferson (Kermit) is chosen to write the Deceleration of Independence. Fozzie, Piggy and Gonzo then begin to make a series of ridiculous demands, and the chickens appear on stage to sing again. After Kermit yells at everyone to be quiet. He explains that the deceleration was more then a list of demands, but instead that it was about things that "we all believe in, things that were worth fighting for". He then quotes the beginning of the Deceleration (with the chickens clucking God Bless America behind him).
{{Quotation} | We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.}} Sam the Eagle is so moved by the performance that he begins to cry. After JJ remarks that he is now the town crier, Sam says "just ring the bell". With a ringing of the bell, the group sings Great Moments in History ending the show.
