Declaration of Independence from King George

  • by: Laura Perkins
  • recipient: George Bush, President, United States of America
We realize that the founding ideals and principles of our nation are under serious threat from the Bush administration and we intend to vote Bush and his supporters out of office in November.
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, July 4, 2004.

The Unanimous Declaration of the undersigned concerned citizens of the United States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with a leader, 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 humans 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 Humans, deriving their just powers from the Consent of the Governed, --That whenever any leader becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to remove that leader from office and to replace him with a leader more likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by removing the leader to whom 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 a tyrant, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of the Citizens of the United States of America under George W. Bush's Administration; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to remove the usurpers from office and restore the Systems of Government established in the Constitution of the United States of America. The history of the present President of the United States 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.

He has failed in his sworn Oath, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public Good.
He has passed other laws that infringe upon the rights of our people, rights inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has undermined the Constitution of the United States of America and its representative Democracy by seeking appointment to the Office of the President against the Will of the People.
He has appointed judges whose adherence to fundamentalist religious doctrines is at odds with their Duty to protect and correctly interpret the Constitution of the United States.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harrass our people, and to spy on their activities.
He has started a war with Iraq under false pretenses and obtained the consent of the Congress by misrepresentation of his motives for that war.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power of the Congress by misappropriation of funds, which he used to plan and start an unauthorized war.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
For detaining prisoners without Writ of Habeus Corpus;
For illegal search and seizure;
For invading our private medical records, library records, and purchasing records without our consent;
For outsourcing our jobs to other parts of the world;
For shifting the burden of taxes onto the poor and the middle class and away from his wealthy friends;
For enlarging the gap between Wealth and Poverty;
For denying aid to the working poor and those who cannot find jobs;
For refusing to protect our electoral process;
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury;
For threatening our most cherised and valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Government;
He has failed in his Duty to protect the People of the United States from attack, ignored warnings of imminent threat, and abdicated government to vacation at his ranch in Texas while our Nation was under such threat.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, decimated our forests, removed our environmental protections, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He has given his support to proposals for frivolous Amendments to our Constitution.
He has attempted to silence public criticism of his policies.
He has allowed the abuse and torture of prisoners of war.
He is at this time keeping large armies of our people in foreign countries to compleat the works of Death, Desolation and Tyranny, already begun with circumstances of deceit and unilateralism scarcely paralleled in the modern age, and totally unworthy the Head of a Civilized Nation.

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. A President whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the leader of a Free People.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our Congressional Brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of the foundation of our Nation. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common citizenship to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our Freedoms and Liberties. They too have been deaf to the Voice of Justice and of the Constitution. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, and vote out of Office George W. Bush and all Members of Congress who have denied reasonable representation to the interests of the People.

We, therefore, the People of the United States of America, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in our name, and by our authority, solemnly publish and declare, That these United States are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to George W. Bush, and that all political connection between them and the Bush Administration, will after the November Election be totally dissolved. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our dedication to protection of our Liberties and reaffirm the founding Principles of our Nation.
