Declaration of Independence - We Need to Re-declar

Here is the complete text of the Declaration of Independence. The original spelling and capitalization have been retained. Read without my edits.

(Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776)

The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen 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.

The Tea Parties that sprang up had no choice - it becomes necessary for one people to ... it was neccessary.

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.

Unless you have the audacity to earn more that 250K and then you are not equal and must be taxed outrageously, and kill your 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 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.

Imagine what would happen if the government thought it derived it's power from the consent of the governed - would we have Obama Care right now if they remotely believed this?

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Prudence, I think Congress needs to looks up the definition of this.

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 these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government.

The election of 2010 and forsight into 2012.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

President Obama and his Congress

He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

Arizona's Immigration Law.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

Passage of retaining the current tax structure, also known as Brush's Tax Cuts.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

Does Card Check sound familiar?

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

Closed doore meetings that were supposed to be transparent?

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

General Stanley McChrystal

He 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 meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

Rep. Al Franken

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

I guess he's not guilty of this. The problem is that the migration is of the criminal sort and there lies the problem.

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

Voter Intimidation in Philly

He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

Sonia Sotomayor.

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

Tsars anyone?

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

Does sharia law scare you now?

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

The illegal immigrant drug armies.

For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:

The Case of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani: A Terrorist Let Off Easy
for the bombing of the USS Cole.

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:

Do we trade anymore or do we just buy other countries stuff and they take our money? There's no trade cause they don't buy our stuff!

For imposing taxes on us without our consent:

Just try to buy Coke in the near future with out taking out a loan, do to junk food tax.

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:

It's a good thing we're gun toting, bible thumpers to protect ourselves from being transported.

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:

Arizona's Immigration Law suit?

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.

He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

Gulf oil spill clean up and Obama's recovery.

He 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 and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.

President Obama goes over seas and apologies for American encouraging foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death...

He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.

Our high seas is the intranet and our arms are the words we can type and read. We must fight Republic versus Democrat and execute political careers.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

Domestic Insurrection, if that doesn't sum up 2009 and 2010 I don't know what does.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

We have emailed. We have called. We have voted.

Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British 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 consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

Did you not notice all the rallies held across the nation? Or the townhall meetings?

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 the 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 that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, 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.

Signed
Dana

Enough for now...
