[3/3/16, 8:52:55 PM] Drake Bailey: Congressmen and Senators from ALL States need to sign this Document : [3/3/16, 8:53:07 PM] Drake Bailey: New Declaration of Independence This Third Day of October, in the year of our Lord 2015 The unanimous Declaration of We The People of The united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. 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.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, 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; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present Queen of Great Britain and Crown Vatican is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these People. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. They have refused Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. They have forbidden Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance. They have refused to follow Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish their rights. They have corrupted Representatives repeatedly, impinging on the rights of the people. They have refused for a long time, corrupted our elections and representatives. They have obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing to allow Judiciary powers. They have made Judges dependent on their Will alone, for the tenure of their offices. They have erected barriers and sent large numbers of agents to harass our people, and take their property. They have attempted to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. They have combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving Assistance to their Acts of pretended Legislation. For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For controlling our Trade with all parts of the world. For taking our Taxes without our Consent. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses. For abolishing the free System of Laws, establishing therein an Arbitrary, enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule of the Crown. For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments. For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. They have abdicated Government here, by declaring us without Protection and waging War against us. They have destroyed the lives of our people without cause. They have constrained our fellow Citizens to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren. They have excited domestic insurrections amongst us. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. 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 of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown and Vatican Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain and Vatican City, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States 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.
