Declaration of Independence

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for the benefit of the greater good, "Dissolve the political system which oppresses the people it is meant to govern!!!"

That due to this disregard of the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God and the Powers of Earth, Equality among individuals has suffered. It is with respect to the current system of government and to the opinions of my siblings and family, that this Declaration state the causes for which the Federal Government should be separated from its citizenry. At this time the world is in need of religious reform and tax reform, of political reform and racial and ethnic harmony and of gender equality.

It is further stated that state and local government and corporations and organizations are so entwined with our social experiment in "Democracy" that a parallel government must now be established during the take-over of the current corrupted political system.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal in certain inalienable rights. Americans have been given the privilege to vote; each vote should be counted equally and cast responsibly. Every individual deserves respect and government was designed to serve as caretaker and servant to those governed. That to secure these Rights, governments are instituted deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government or familiar relationship becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. It is then given to the people to institute a new Government or significant relationship or partnership laying a Foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light or transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown that people will suffer Evil as long as Evil is sufferable, rather than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. That the wrongful seizure or exercise of authority or privilege belonging to another has currently led to a long train of abuses, separating families over sex, drugs, and incarceration, endless war and endless poverty.

That while both the governed and those that govern may have equal desires and pursuing invariably the same object, a government, religion, family or other significant relationship which exhibits a design to gain control of those governed under absolute authority must be taken down. It is the right of the people; it is their duty to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the people of the United States and of our enemies and of our allies; and such is now the necessity which constrains us to alter our current system of government. The history of the current United States Federal Government mirrors the history of the King of Great Britain, 1776, and is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, the wrongful seizures of property, and lack of oversight, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute ruling class of corruptible individuals. The history of Republicans and the Democrats is a history of repeated injuries and abuses all leading to gender and racial bias and a disparity between rich and poor. It has led us to a place to where the dollar isn't worth a dime and anyone can be touched by homelessness, hopelessness and loneliness.

To prove this, that the following facts be submitted to a candid world:

The Federal Government has refused to enforce our Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good or to repeal laws of no benefit to the greatest number of individuals.

The Federal Government has passed legislation in direct opposition to public mandates; government officials are notorious for breaking campaign promises, having scandalous affairs and behaving badly.

The Federal Government has ignored the foundation of Democracy - One Person, One Vote.

The Electoral College has failed to provide leaders that address issues with the urgency needed and should be abolished.

The Federal Government has ignored the Popular Vote and Americans have suffered injustice. They have caused a dysfunctional two-party system where the silent majority remains unrepresented.

Current legislation has failed to resolve the problems we as Americans face today.

The President has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance and suspended enforcement of laws contrary to its own benefit, and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them timely. He has caused laws to be lengthy and complicated.

Each new law enacted or accepted as revised should clearly state in two pages or less, purpose and funding. Laws should reflect the society it is intended to protect and assist. Politicians and deal-makers have sold our souls. Let us stop the divisionism of party politics, write a new Constitution, build a new foundation on public-private enterprise, free pot and free projects paid for by advertisers, honest advertisers. I for one am tired of people's pet projects and pork spending. I am tired of governmental regulations and the Drug War funded but not winnable. New housing laws ending homelessness, affordable health care and mental well-being, full/continuing, affordable education, good jobs, good relationships, solar, wind and other renewable energies, and the end of poverty, racism and sexism are great goals we can live with.

We need change. We need social change. We need a new Constitution. We need to stop income taxes and the IRS. I am tired of the Tax Man living fat on my thin dime. We need fair sales taxes. American needs a value added tax added to a production/cost tax, full health care, a thirty-five hour work week and 6 week vacation benefit and retirement planning should be for all Americans not just Executives. We need to go Metric and zero out decimal points and eliminate cents in monetary transactions - making balancing bank statements easier, eliminating many costly accounting mistakes and lowering professional accounting fees. Stop minting coins except perhaps the fifty- cent piece. We need to standardize parts on vehicles and equipment and use metric tools and make use of robots to improve safety and quality of life. We want equal pay for equal work. Laissez-faire attitudes towards women's issues, corporate culture, political practices, lobbying, the Drug War, shame Americans.

Congress has refused to pass laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, denying the right of representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to the wealthy and powerful, and the greedy and the corrupt. The mortgage crisis, homelessness, the bank bail-out and bonus rip off, the sale to Americans of inadequate health insurance vs. proper health care, the sale of obsolete technology - gas guzzling cars and equipment all demonstrate lack of oversight. No one knows how many people want and need to be working in jobs that can provide for themselves and/or their families.

The President has called together legislative bodies at places and times uncomfortable for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

The Legislature cannot resolve basic issues. Year after year they deal with the same volatile issues, finding no compromises.

Federal spending is out of control and too many people are out of work. American presidents have been guilty of invasions on the rights of the people. Our presidents are guilty of manipulation with respect to elections and the Electoral College. The Democrats and the Republicans have divided this nation into a two-party, bi-partisan, sexually and religiously ignorant country. We have evolved into a country where sex is not properly taught and respect is not a key element of the education. We have retained a dual standard for men and women with sour consequences. Unplanned pregnancies, drug-use, date-rape, spousal rape, gang rape and other forms of abuse and violence are not acceptable and shall not be tolerated.

The Federal Government has refused to sufficiently address the problem of immigration, the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers from invasion from without, and convulsions within.

The Federal Government has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration to the United States and achieving the American Dream of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of peaceable assemble and freedom to petition the government for redress of grievances not just home ownership, a job and food on the table.

Americans suffer from lack of clean air and clean water, lack of sustainable energies and worth-while occupations.

The Government has failed Americans refusing to fund adequate job creation, adequate health care andadequate mental health therapy.

The bailout of Main Street needs to occur immediately.

The Government has made judges dependent on the Government for the amount and payment of the salaries. Voting for Electors and Judges are often irrational as candidates are not always known to those who elect them; leading to detrimental outcomes for society.

The Government has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out our substance. Our children have been ravaged in the savagery of war.

The Government has kept spies among us and maintained the country at war to obstruct justice to that end and repealed the writ of habeas corpus.

The Government has effected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.

Abolish the "Sacred" Government for suspending government of the people. The President has chosen to war against our own and deny freedom of speech and has given us false information and outlandish propaganda. The Federal Government has caused the nation to be at war over oil for the benefit of a limited number of individuals. American Oil Men's profit and shady dealings have lead to continuous and bloody war in Iraq and Afghanistan. War is looming in Iran. We as Americans are guilty of breaking treaties and conventions and are fair game for retribution.

Amendment Two allows guns for a "Militia" not for civilians, not for criminals, not for the local police. We need to combine

Time, Nature and Man have caused our seas to be polluted and our lands to be barren .Population growth needs to be checked. Worldwide poverty is stoppable if we learn to share the Earth with our neighbors.

Mortgage Bankers have destroyed the lives of the people and we have a housing crisis. We have been robbed of our homes and of the fruits of our labor.

The Government is at this time most likely transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and destruction, already begun with circumstances of cruelty, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of a civilized nation. The agencies that protect us to form interstate militias.

Americans need fair pay for safe labor, safe food and the chance not to live in poverty.

The sexes need a new respect and working relationship for America and the world to move forward in Human Rights and Equality for Women and protection of minors under the age of 25. That means:

NO Voting, driving, military service, no alcohol, no tobacco. The age at which a minor is responsible is age 25, not 21. New technology proves that the brain does not fully develop until age 25.

Pregnancy is not always avoidable. To wit, abortion is an individual choice not to be taken lightly. Sex education of young and old, restriction of alcohol age 25, planned parent-hood, counseling, adoption and other options. In an age where rape has shown to be not preventable, it is time to show compassion and assist the victims. Therapy and treatment for traumatic experiences needs to be wide-spread to help victims deal with grief and rage.

Let us suggest men use condoms or out of body sexual and spiritual contact to prevent pregnancies and STD's and create intimacy and responsible relationships.

Women that have been raped have too often discarded by family and society too often turns to prostitution and lesbian relationships. Young men, abused as children, sell themselves to survive. Too often young homosexual men are not secure in their own sexuality and are abused by family members or bullied at school.

Federal, State and Local governments have obstructed the Administration of Justice by failure to prosecute rapists and child molesters, pornographers and prostitution. Universities and the military foster the abuse of and discrimination against women. Violence against women cannot be tolerated. Violence in movies and television spawn Copy Cat crimes.

Our schools are guilty of failure to provide sex education and failure to provide music education and art education. Our school's failure to graduate 100% of high school students is shameful.

The Government is responsible for unnecessary hardship of American citizens through their own neglect and failure of oversight.

The Federal Government is not responsible for our children's education, we are!

America still has a terrible homeless problem, among them homeless veterans and families put out of their homes with no work. Our war veterans are being treated shamefully, often losing their families after serving in the military.

There is no equality in America. Women are too often seen as possessions. Women are not slaves, second-class citizens, property, and trophies. Curiosities.

Americans want jobs and the things money can buy that include teenagers. We are weighed down by taxes and mismanagement of funds; the IRS usually goes after the little guy not the corrupt corporations that hire Tax Accountants to avoid paying their fair share. Corporations incorporate in Delaware and keep bank accounts overseas to avoid taxes.

Children need guaranteed health care, women need pre-natal care. We all deserve free breakfast and honest, safe work that pays a living wage and a chance for lifetime worthiness.

We all need proper nutrition; we all need counseling and therapy; we all need good government. We deserve good government. We do not need a Bush-Clinton-Obama dynasty, the Kennedy dynasty was enough. We do not deserve career politicians afraid to see justice served. We have created chaos by allowing our state constitutions to be altered yearly. We need standardized state constitutions and basic, easy readable and understandable laws to guide us; common law, criminal law, family law, contract law. Our constitution should be a finite document. New laws should fall under specific branches of law that address specific issues.

Expensive end of life care should be replace by hospice care, home care or assisted living, a seat by the Ocean, an endless cruise, a place in town with regular visitors, shared meals and shared conversations.

Americans need to learn moderation. We should also be alive on New Year's Day after a night of celebrating on New Year's Eve.

We should be proud to pledge our allegiance. To the Flag of a Country of citizens united by a common cause for the common good. It is a rare gift.

The Government has created chaos and has sided with bankers and Wall Street and not Main Street.

We are all victims, we need to be less judgmental of each other and of our past, to be more forgiving and more understanding and more helpful of each other.

To declare the "Government" corrupt, and neglectful, and to tell the truth, is to risk being outcast.

Governmental policies are responsible for outsourcing jobs without providing training and jobs, a hot meal and shelter to all Americans. Freedoms which we as Americans hold dearly and fight for fiercely.

Government officials and contractors, lobbyists and military are currently using the services of prostitutes at taxpayer expense. They have failed to recognize the value of legalization and oversight of sex workers and sex as a need of all individuals. The failure to regulate and control prostitution has lead to high rates of sexually transmitted disease and human rights violations. The failure to pass Equal Rights Legislation has resulted in the failure to protect women and children.

I have an American Dream where women and children are protected and men take their responsibility seriously. The strong should protect the weak and not abuse those less able. I am tired of governmental sex scandals. I am tired of military personnel and governmental employees watching pornography and protecting pornographers under First Amendment Rights.

I have a dream that we as Americans can live as one people, united!

The Government has failed to enforce its own laws equally and is guilty of fostering discrimination in hiring and traditionally pays women and minorities less in salaries. Male attitudes have forced women into poverty and prostitution.

The Government has failed to pass laws for the benefit of the public good and fund necessary works projects.

The Government is too big and is bankrupting its citizens. Career politicians are the Carpetbaggers of today.

The Government has failed to legalize marijuana for the benefit of the people.

The Government has taxed us unfairly and sold us pills instead of pot,

Our Doctors have give our children Ritalin instead of taking them off of sugar and poor quality food; instead of making sure they have adequate nutrition and safe home lives; that our children laugh and sing.

Our Doctors are threatened by the Federal Government and afraid to lose their licenses should they prescribe medical marijuana.

Our Doctors are not involved in the well-being of their patients due to reimburse schedules of insurance companies, middlemen. Why are we paying Middlemen? Why are we paying the Federal Reserve interest to print money? Don't we know how to print money? We know how to mint coins. Why are we still minting coins? Why are we still using paper money? Why do we still have so much junk mail? Why don't people stay home when it snows? Why don't people stay home when their sick? Are flu shots necessary or just another scheme to get you to give your money to someone else? Why don't we just cancel Christmas and Christmas presents and overspending and celebrate the life of a man who only wanted us to be bountiful and grateful to God. Why are Americans so bold as not to respect other American's religious beliefs, a first amendment rights?

The Government is guilty of:

Failure to recognize the health benefits of marijuana

Separating families unfairly by keeping marijuana illegal to protect a century old battle over the cheap production of hemp

Keeping inflated prices on marijuana

Favoring one industry over another

Creating monopolies

Maintaining Black Market Economics

Causing segments of the population to deal with drug dealers, pimps and sex perverts

Ignoring the will of a large segment of the population

Judging people righteously

Taxing Americans unjustly

Encouraging alcohol and tobacco use and addiction

Encouraging the use of Hard Drugs by not legalizing the use of marijuana for recreational use

Encouraging violence by allowing continued abuse of alcohol

Loss of tax revenues that could be used to restructure the Health Care System through marijuana taxation

Loss of jobs through their failure to cultivate marijuana as a cash crop

Encouraging suicide through by allowing continued use of alcohol

Encouraging suicide by allowing bullying to exist in schools, sports, military and the workplace

Allowing prejudice against homosexuals to exist

Loss of opportunity to foster creativity

Supporting the War on Drugs.

Schools are guilty of not preventing our children from underage drinking. Abuse of alcohol by college students has lead to rape, suicide and death. Girls often drop out of college when pregnant.

Failure to prevent drinking and driving, and driving distracted and the consequences, instead of providing solutions such as:

All night transportation provided at no cost to all local counties.

Hop on the double decker bus w/ a hundred bottles of beer on the wall.

Zero tolerance for any alcohol beverage consumption and adequate technology to prevent operation of heavy equipment-

I.e. motor vehicles-cars, buses, boats, planes, motorcycles, trains, etc.

Provide luxury cars on railroads for travel pleasure, with 4-Star restaurants and smoking lounges and stops along the way and American railroad travel passes at reasonable rates.

Failure to train Americans for needed jobs and occupations.

Provide adequate mental health assessments and therapy.

Provide music in schools.

Failure to appease angry individuals

Failure to stop alcohol and violence

Failure to stop a drunken society from destroying itself.

We are a Nation of bias individuals too often motivated by Greed or Race.

People should not be allowed to be verbally abusive or be able to use foul language in public. Pornography comes with a high price. Freedom is not free.

The government has failed us in firearms, tobacco and alcohol regulation and enforcement.

The foundation of the family in America is weak due to governmental regulations and unequal enforcement of those regulations

Pornography and gender bigotry have led to the decline of society and infested our institutions and culture. Drugs have ravaged an addicted society and we are left weak and vulnerable.

People are judgmental and don't hold themselves to the same standards as they hold others.

Labeling and foul language, sex and violence are reflected in the world in which we live, it is present in our families, in our schools and in our communities.ara

People do not treat each other as they would like to be treated. .

Move Federal Headquarters to New York City and use teleconferencing instead of taxing Americans for travel and protection of a few select individuals.

Americans are best served by those who would protect us from corrupted authority and bullies; protect us from those who foul the air with their freedoms and need to be curtailed.

We need to maintain DNA records and up to date health records to protect ourselves and to keep track of our ancestry. We deserve to live and die with dignity. We deserve to know our Roots.

The Financial Crisis is evidence that we need Wall Street reform. It is evidence that the government works against the American people with a mind of its own.

Healthy competition among states and no unhealthy rivalries need to be established and supported. Travel within the United States needs to be improved drastically and can be achieved thru public private partnerships. Travel benefits for all Americans and not just the select few that are simply self-serving should be established as a constitutional right for all Americans.

The Federal Government has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

The Federal Government has endeavored to prevent the population of our States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

They have obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing to establish laws of equal justice.

Our Founding Fathers legacy has made Supreme Court Judges dependent on presidents for nomination to office and play a game of political upper handedness.

They have erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. Our children have been ravaged in the savagery of war.

They have allowed undeclared wars, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

They have affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the civil power. All in the name of Democracy!

They have has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving their Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation.

The political polices of our presidents are responsible:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States;

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world;

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent;

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury;

For transporting political prisoners beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring Countries, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in our southern neighbors;

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, Treaties and Conventions, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments, i.e. the Village Green, grandstanding on soap boxes, use of stocks for punishment. Community halls, the local pub family atmosphere in bars, the local newspaper, weekly church attendance and the local cop on the beat and the family doctor.

For adulterating freedom of speech, and freedom of religion "Try the Bastards!!!"

For overriding the popular vote and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever;

For Failure of Due Diligence in responsibility; and for or failure to acknowledge that there is little democracy in America; only Democrats and Republicans and Men get to be president historically.

They have abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of their Protection and waging War against Immigrants.

Their actions have plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

The Military is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of a civilized nation.

Government has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive to bear Arms against our former Allies, to become the executioners of our friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands; all in the name of Democracy.

American Foreign Policy is responsible for domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of Mexico and Columbia, the merciless Drug Lords, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of this Oppression, we have petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. Presidents, whose characters are thus marked by every act which may define Tyrants, are unfit to be the rulers of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our Washington D.C. brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of sanity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity hold our government liable. Let us separate, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We the undersigned stand fast as a nation of individuals with equal rights. We as a people believe in “One person, one vote." We believe in Equality for All!

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People, solemnly publish and declare, That these United States are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that we are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Greedy Bureaucrats, Lobbyists, and other Fat Cats; and that all political connection between them and the people of these United States, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, united we have full Power to hire, train and maintain a state militia, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States, and free people may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
