Declare Your Independence

#11252698 - 10/15/09 02:10 PM (17 years, 23 days ago)

So I was reading the Declaration of Independence of the United States and thought that it would be very appropriate to rewrite portions to fit the situation of today. It's hard to deny that the american people have a lot of reasons to be pissed off with the government right now, and so we should probably express it somewhat formally. I've offered up a few suggestions and would like to have everyone add on a piece or two. All of my additions/alterations are in bold.

Quote:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands 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 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 hath shewn, 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 United States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present United States Government is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

The use of public funds and the misuse of legislative, executive, and judicial authority to favor the ascension of multinational and transnational corporations to a level of power and influence which directly threatens the rights and liberties of United States citizens and many others around the globe. Our government has effectively become a Corporate-Congressional Complex.

The Congress is derelict in it's duty by allowing the President of the United States and the organs of the Military Industrial Complex to carry out illegal, and immoral wars at great cost to the American People and the victims of such wars.

The Congress has become nearly ubiquitously corrupted by the inordinate influence of lobbyists, special interests, and foreign interests and consistently fail to meet the needs and expectations of their constituency.

The unequal preference for upholding the rights of Corporations legally defined as Persons while simultaneously disenfranchising Natural Persons of such rights in direct violation of the intents and purposes of legitimate governance.

The abuse of "National Security" Laws and Agencies to subvert the constitution, cover-up and breed corruption, and carry out heinously immoral acts against individuals, groups, and populations.

With the acquiescence of the United States Government the American Public has been deliberately and systematically defrauded by Private entities such as the Federal Reserve through inflation, manipulation of markets, usury, and unconstitutional taxation.

Okay, now add your piece.
