A Modern American Declaration of Liberty
A Modern American Delcaration of Liberty ^ | June 12, 2013 | Jeff Head

A MODERN AMERICAN DELCARATION OF LIBERTY

In establishing this Republic, our forefathers taught that man made institutions have no authority to grant or deny that which has been endowed upon us by God. They taught that unalienable rights are thus given to mankind by God, the Creator, and that governments exist not to grant or deny these rights, but to protect them. They stated that it becomes necessary in the course of human events from time to time for a people to dissolve themselves from the political bonds that hold them. They recognized and warned that a overburdensome central government could become too strong and they went to great lengths to insure that a system was established that was checked within itself by a balance of powers. This system was also the agent of sovereign states that made up the union. This was to ensure that the federal government did not,

"usurp from the States all government in little as in great things, when all government shall be drawn to Washington as the center of power it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as oppressive as the government from which we separated." Thomas Jefferson.
Such times are upon us. The original Constitution of this Republic, and its intent, has been so grossly misrepresented, misinterpreted and wrested that it is scarcely recognizable. Professional politicians, who have made careers and fortunes out of public service have, in many cases, sold out the interests to the United States to foreign powers and financial interests and their organizations. In other cases, they have usurped and wrested the interests of this people and their liberties on behalf of their own personal ideologies, vain ambitions and carnal appetities. Thereby, the very purpose of the system established by our forefathers (to protect each citizen's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness) is being abjectly corrupted.

As a result, we reaffirm the following to be self evident : That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among which 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 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 most likely to effect their safety and happiness. When a long train of abuses, usurpations, cover-ups and mis-appropriation, pursuing invariably the same object depicts a design to reduce the people to despotism, to the rule of tyrants, it is the right of the people, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security.

We are at such a point and juncture in the history of this Republic. The forces moving us toward totalitarianism compel us to reaffirm the constitutional intent of our forefathers and therefore disassociate ourselves from the usurpations, misappropriations, misinterpretations, corruption and humanism which infects our government's elected and appointed officials, and return our government to the more limited form our forefathers established and intended. The recent history of the federal government is one of repeated injury and usurpation leading to totalitarianism.

To illustrate this, let the following list of conditions speak for themselves : Officials of the federal government (elected and appointed) have :

In short, through this long list of abuses, and many more too numerous to list, the officials within our own government, both elected and appointed, have placed this Republic on the road to totalitarianism in a Marxist or Fascist form, pursuing invariably the object of the overthrow of our republican system and its attending free market.

In every stage of these injustices, American citizens who have petitioned for redress or sought to expose the above stated injuries and designs have been answered by repeated injury, slander, criminalization, imprisonment and death.

A governing body whose character is thus so patently marked by every act that would define tyranny is unfit to rule a free people.

Some may argue that these actions have been taken by "duly elected" or appointed officials on behalf of the people. To this we say that no individual, no oofficial or governing body, who have taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and bear true faith and allegiance to the same (which all of these officials have done) has the right or authority to alter or change the express directives of that constitution, except by means provided for within the constitution itself which is the Amendment process. Changes in the name of "States of Emergency", "Executive Order", "Treaties", "Initiatives", "Acts", "Proclamation", "Presidential Directives", "Strategic Alliances" or any other avenue outside of constitutional amendment, properly ratified by the people of the several States, represent a violation of their oath of office and establishes those involved as enemies of "We the People".

Yep, there's a long line of tyrants that would be cheering and egging him on...and at the head of that line, IMHO, would be Lucifer himself.

But there is an equally long line of patriots egging us on, to stand as a free people, as free men and women in this blessed land to put a stop to it...and the most powerful and loving Being in the universe stands at the head of that line!

Amen to that, cripplecreek.

But, in that regard, it is far too late for me, so I will join John Hancock and make sure my signature is writ large for them so there is not mistake.

Signed, but you need to fix the spelling errors. Title on petition says Delcaration instead of Declaration plus several others.

Not the spelling police, just would make it more appealing.

Signed (#10).

Thank you, Jeff Head. I am but a man of 33 years, but I am prepared to live twice my lifetime of pain if it means the Republic of America lives for another 500 years.

God bless you, my friend.

I am a man of 57 years, having survived serious cancer and been disabled as a result over 3 years ago. But I too am willing to place my all, my very life on the line if it means being a part of restoring our Constitution and this Republic to its intended place, for the sake of my wife, my five kids and their spouses,, my current nine grandkids, and the entireyty of the rising generations.

And in memory and honor of my fine parents, who have passed, my World War II combat vet father, and his wonderful Christian wife, my mother, and all of those who have gone before and sacrificed, lived, bled, and died for our Republic.

I made the commitment knowing full well it could mean my life and my savings, but it is a fight I believe is right to take. I am a newlywed, coming up on 1 year, and we have no children. It is for my wife and my yet-born children that I would partake in this fight.

I’m a humble man, once having considered the seminary and living a life of chastity, I am now a young professional and indebted to my family and God for everything I have. If my country is against me, my God is not, and with God, everything is possible.
