A Statement of New Independence

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for, We The People of these United States of America, to dissolve the political bands which have subjected, and continue to subject us to treasonous activities committed by the government, and to obtain once again the protections and respect entitled us as citizens, we must declare the causes which impel us to this 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 to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or 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.
