To Congress, July 4 2010 A DECLARATION By The Citizens of the United States of America,
When in the course of history, it becomes necessary for the citizens’ to dissolve the political parties which have connected them together and assume the powers of the country, the separate but equal station which the laws of nature and God entitles them, to respect the opinions off its citizens it requires that they should announce the reasons that force them to separate.
We hold these truths to be without question, all people are created equal, these rights are given by God and not the government, some of these rights are, Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to ensure these rights, Our Government was created among the people, getting their powers from the agreement of the people, whenever that form of government becomes destructive of these rights, it is the right of the people to change or abolish it, and to form a new government, based upon these principals and organized in a way that will seem most likely to protect their safety and happiness. Caution will say that governments around a long time should not be changed lightly, but experience shows that people will suffer while evil is bearable than to make changes to remove this evil that they have become used to. But when an endless line of abuses and violations take place designed to reduce them to mere serfs, it is their right, their duty, to throw off such government, and to elect new guards for themselves and their children’s future security.
The citizens in their suffering have been patient, and now is the time which forces them to alter their former system of government. The history of the Federal Government is a history of repeated injuries and disrespect, the goal to create a ruling class over the citizens of this country. To prove this let the facts below submitted to the world.
They have refused to enforce the laws, the same laws enacted by them for the public good
They have forbidden governors to pass laws that mirror laws enacted by congress and have asked that these laws be suspended until their plan is complete.
They have refused to follow laws they themselves made for the citizens.
They have refused to meet with the citizens, and when they do it is at places unusual, uncomfortable, distant from the people and packed with their own supporters, for the sole purpose of wearing them down.
They have ignored the Constituent repeatedly, for opposing their invasions on the rights of the people.
They have interfered with the election process to cause others to be elected by offering jobs and other items of value. Items owned by the people and not the government to pass legislation that could not pass on its own merits. Exposing states to the dangers of invasion from without and convulsions from within.
They have tried to prevent the population of these states from passing laws protecting their own boarders from an invasion of illegal foreigners ,refusing to pass others encouraging illegal migrations into this country.
They have obstructed justice by refusing to prosecute voter intimidation and to dismantle the laws in place to investigate wrongdoing by their own.
They have made elected officials dependent on their will alone by the trading of votes for the largeness of the federal pocketbook.
They have appointed a multitude of new czars that answer only to them and sent swarms of IRS officers to harass our people and tax their labor.
They have kept among us in times of sacrifice large groups of special interest that do not share the pain of this economy.
They have affected to render the military powerless to protect our country.
They have combined with others to try to subject us to laws foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving their consent to acts of pretend legislation.
For have passing legislation in the dead of night, through parliamentary tricks, at the last minute so serious public debate could not take place, and then exempt themselves from its mandates.
For protecting themselves, with mock trials, from punishment for crimes against the people of this nation. For trying to cut off our trade of oil, to all parts of the world.
For imposing taxes on us, without our consent.
For attacking private citizens’ without the benefits of a trial by jury but a trial by the media.
For squandering our goodwill overseas, insulting our allies and apologizing for pretend offences.
For perverting our justice system to make some crimes against special groups worse than the same crimes but without the offensive thoughts.
For taking away our freedoms, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our government.
For suspending our own laws, and declaring themselves invested with powers to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
They have said they cannot do their jobs, they cannot protect our boarders, cannot protect the individual citizen, cannot stop the spending or reduce taxes, but insist on more control over our lives.
They have plundered our seas, ravaged our coast, and destroyed the lives of our people by their inaction in the gulf oil spill. They could not accept foreign help but found the time to send lawyers.
They have at this time taken over large portions of our economy, Autos, banking and healthcare. Borrowed tremendous sums of money and the result of all this is an economy on its knees.
They have constrained our fellow citizens’ from excelling with crushing taxes, burdensome regulations and intrusive reporting. They have turned doctors and hospitals into paper mills, businessmen into bureaucrats, and citizens’ fearful of their own government.
They have excited domestic insurrections among us, and have tried to bring the inhabitants of our boarders the illegal immigrants who only want to live off the fruit of our labor through the redistribution of our wealth.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated insult. 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 not forgotten our local representatives. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to overstep their bounds. We have reminded them of the circumstances of their employment by us. We have appealed to their sense of justice and fairness and asked how could you do this to your own constituents. They too have been deaf to the voice of the people and thought they knew what was best for us. We must then announce our separation and hold them as we hold everyone by their actions and deeds.
We therefore, the citizens’ of the United States of America by the authority of the people of these states solemnly publish and declare and right ought to be free and independent and absolved of all allegiance to both political parties. All allegiance to either party ought to be totally dissolved and that as free and independent voters have the full power to change this government starting with the November 2010 election and continuing until this form of government is changed to one we can again be proud of. With a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
Excellent!

Hear, hear!!!!!
It’s not the fault of the parties. It’s the fault of the people we’ve elected, which is to say it’s our fault?
There’s nothing in our founding documents about political parties.
The only difference between third parties and the first two are third paties don’t have the power to screw over the voters.
All in in November, It’s now or never.
I was not trying to advocate a third party. We all need to vote for a candidate that supports our views regardless of party. (I know I am preaching to the choir here on Free Republic.) I did this when I noticed how many grievances our founding fathers had with the king as we have with our “ruling class” these days.
This article continues to be very popular on my blog.
The author certainly hit a raw nerve.
