When in the course of human events it becomes clear that the rights and privileges of our fellow Americans according to our Constitutional law have been violated, it becomes necessary for the people to band together in solidarity and assume the powers granted to them by God and the Constitution of the United States, to petition their government for a redress of grievances.
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. — 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 of 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 has 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 citizens of the United States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
The Government of the United States has a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these Citizens. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Our government has failed to protect the integrity and independence of the press and the digital public square.
Our lawmakers have passed laws, which often disproportionately affect Blacks and People of Color, intended to maintain the status quo of economic and political power.
Our politicians have sought to put in place barriers to voting to maintain their current balance of power.
Our politicians have deliberately participated in gerrymandering, drawing and redrawing political boundaries, to their benefit and to the detriment of citizens.
Our politicians have encouraged Tribalism and stoked divisions within the country.
Our politicians have ignored the intended pluralism of the Constitution and established a de facto oligarchy to the detriment of citizens.
Our government has failed to put in place measures, like term limits for all political offices, to prevent the centralization of power into the hands of the few when it should be distributed among the people of the United States.
Our lawmakers have repeatedly legislated to bail out corporations with taxpayer dollars to the detriment of the citizens.
Our politicians have ignored the prudence of a sound budget.
Our politicians have ignored fiscal responsibility and sought to spend without limitation.
Our government has eroded the value of our currency, taxing the citizens without representation and diminishing the purchasing power of our savings.
Our courts have ignored the constraints placed upon them to evaluate law and have participated in legislation from the bench and judicial overreach.
Our Presidents have violated the separation of powers mandated in the Constitution and sought to govern through executive orders, bypassing the will of the people and establishing laws without cooperation or input from the House of Representatives or Congress.
Our government has encouraged the Rule of Law to be undermined, allowing money or position to purchase better outcomes in our courts.
Our government has encouraged secrecy and discouraged transparency.
Our government has created pay to play barriers in national politics.
Our government has failed to defend the first amendment and encouraged censorship of speech and repression of religious freedom.
Our government has violated the 5th Amendment by failing to implement measures against illegal searches and seizures with regards to privacy and digital information.
Our government has violated the rights of citizens to due process with the implementation and sustained support of the Patriot Act.
Our federal government and representatives have failed to promote the general welfare of citizens by refusing to work together to coordinate an effective response to our national public health crisis.
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. Such a government that refuses to address the concerns of its citizens, is failing to be the guardian of the rights of a free people.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, Digitally Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these United States, solemnly publish and declare, that as citizens we are united in solidarity in our defense of our rights. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to defend one another’s Lives, Liberties, and Right to Live According to our Conscience. We charge our lawmakers with the task of finding, amending, or eradicating all such laws that are in violation of our Constitution and of redressing our grievances which have been listed above.
