Dammit, I was off on my post count.
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 Colonies United States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain US 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. Freedom of speech has been suppressed and restricted, with “free speech zones,” and protests confined to restricted areas where they are not allowed to protest at the site of the object of protest. Free exercise of religion has been restricted, with people of faith sometimes forbidden to express their faith if they should do so in any government-owned venue. The enumerated powers of Congress have been far surpassed and exceeded, with the assent of all three branches of government colluding to rewrite the Constitution, and its limits on Congressional authority. Further, the 10th amendment restraining Congress from exceeding the enumerated powers has been ignored. The obligation of Government to show just cause and obtain warrants for searches and seizures has been eviscerated, with numerous areas where warrants and just cause are ignored. <insert more here> Go ahead, add your own at the bottom of the list. The original was pretty long.

Why are you starting trouble by airing your grievances here?! You know that Dear Leader hates peasants who object to his totalitarian ways?
Oh wait, you're talking about the Revolution. Come to think of it, we're at about full circle. What representation? Did we want TARP, 0-Care, or to be groped at the airport by a stranger of the same gender (if they had hot women, they can have those hot women grope me all they want). |
