The American Writ of Grievances

Below is a preview of The American Writ of Grievances. It is the first of a set of documents currently being written, and the start of a process we've undertaken here at UniteOrDie.org to step outside of the rhetorical debate and work for actual reform and resolution of grievances. In the coming months we will work towards the goal of writing and introducing actionable legislation. If you're ready to rise above the fray and appeal to the sensibilities of an emerging post-partisan America, we invite you to join and be a part of this process.

The existence of American governance has been marked by periods of wealth and destitution, fortune and failure, and ethics and corruption. Throughout the ebb and flow of human governance, the will of the American people is to endure and innovate; to rise above and triumph over the burden of the impossible. The greatness of the American Republic isn’t simply an invention of an arrogant consciousness; it is the sum of a great collective of individuals that challenge the imperfections of mankind to govern itself in an ethical manner. Any consideration that holds to an assumption that the American Republic will die with a whimper at the hands of corruption and unscrupulous politicians is an exercise in ignorance of the true collective of power in the United States: We, The People.

We the people; residents of the greatest experiment in governance ever to be known to mankind, party to the greatest successes and innovations in history, the heart and soul of the greatest nation on earth have stood idle for the last time in viewing the unobstructed trespasses of a government evolving into tyranny. It is our birthright as the citizens of the United States, and our duty as children of our Creator to stand in solidarity against those who would infringe on our God given rights to liberty. No more shall the trespasses against our tongue, our sovereignty, and our way of life go unanswered. No more shall the impetus of conformity to unconstitutional laws inhibit us from enjoying the rights guaranteed us by the struggles and triumphs of our forefathers. No more shall our elected representation spit in the face of the very mandates and concessions that grant them their employment under our republican form of government. No more will the eagle slumber as vultures creep into the sanctity of her nest.

We the people of the United States of America, having triumphed over the depredation and filth of tyranny once before, emboldened with solidarity in reverence to the platitudes of our forefathers; hereby issue this writ of grievances.

For a few months now, the members of Unite or Die have taken part in crafting a document in the same fashion that our founding fathers did - a list of grievances. We want to load it up with signatures and send it to DC. I invite everyone to come check it out and get involved.
