Declaration of Independence: Mark II

As the people of this country over the past 100 years have seen fit to forget why we split from the British Empire it is time for a second Declaration of Independence to state that we the individual do not cede our rights as free persons to the notion that the products of our labor and industry as at the disposal of those who see us as evil and the looters & moochers as the virtuous victims to whom the product of our labor and industry is given without our consent and with no regard for the constitution. 

That being said below is a revised constitution that clarifies those things that the founding fathers assumed the reader would understand and makes specific some things that were to general to the point of being useable against the very individuals it was meant to protect. 

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds 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. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all persons 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 with no right conferred therein guaranteed to any entity outside of the individual. 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. 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. 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 states; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter the systems of the federal government. The history of the recent office holders of President represents a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an overreaching central control over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. 

They have forbidden the governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained via permission of the Justice Department; and when so suspended, The Justice Department has asserted final rule on all local laws as such and usurped the sovereignty of the states.They have refused to assent to laws in regards to rights of the people, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

They have used the media in all forms as a platform for disingenuous means against member of the legislature for opposing with manly firmness their invasions on the rights of the people and private industry.  They have called together legislative bodies at times unusual, uncomfortable, and with the reason of expediency for a perceived threat, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

For imposing taxes on us without our consent and prosecution of non payment of these taxes through assumption of guilt before trial through government procedure: 

Several presidents have imposed on the citizenry through legislation without the consent of the governed taxation with the sole purpose of providing unearned stipends that are unconstitutional and unsecured. 

They have set controls of private industry and trade that have been imposed with the specious reason of fairness of which there is no guarantee and none should be expected. 

In every stage of these oppressions and others we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by derision as upsetting the general welfare and persecution through covert & overt means. A Chief of state, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the Chief Executive of a free people.
