Help requested for Declaration of removal of the Consent of the Governed.

The Declaration of the People of the 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 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 Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present Federal Government of these United States of America is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over the People of the Sovereign States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

It has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

The Courts of the Federal Government have refused to hear the complaints of lawfully elected president regarding the fraudulent elections of certain States.

The Courts of the Federal Government have refused to hear the complaints of the States as to the fraudulent elections of other States.

The Courts of the Federal Government have refused to hear the complaints of the citizens of the States as to the fraudulent elections of certain States.

The Federal Government in violation of its constitutional duty to ensure a republican form of government to the States permitted certain states to conduct elections not in accordance with their own laws. When these violations were brought to the attention of said government it failed to act.

When presented with ample evidence of fraudulent votes, vote tampering, failure to follow the laws of the State in which the election was taking place and impeding lawful election observers. The Federal Government disregarded the evidence and failed to act to decertify these elections.

When presented with ample evidence of voting machines that were not designed and built to ensure fair elections and resistance to tampering the Federal Government failed to act to rectify the damaged elections or to preclude the use of these machines in subsequent elections.

The Federal Government failed to prevent an ineligible candidate from being placed before the people for election to the office of the Vice-President of the United States.

The Federal Government failed to prevent an ineligible candidate from being placed before the people for election to the office of the President of the United States.

The Courts of the United States when presented with evidence of ineligibility of the said candidates refused to hear the complaints of the people.

The Federal Government has erected a multitude of Federal Agencies, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. The Federal Government has imposed on the citizens laws and regulations that force the people to act against their religious beliefs.

The Federal Government has, in times of peace, sent our Army to foreign lands without a declaration of war.

The Federal Government has created agencies independent of and superior to the State’s Civil power.

The Federal Government’s courts have struck down our States constitutions amendments, and dully passed legislation without just cause. For protecting Federal officers, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For failing to enforce our boarders and ensure that aliens crossing our boarders are peaceful law-abiding individuals.

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 government whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our elected officials. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their courts to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of our constitutional rights. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the People of the United States of America, in Good Conscience, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, withdraw our consent to be governed by the Federal Government of the United States of America.

Here’s a version I’ve kept up with for 30 years since the Clintoon days.

The United States of America
Prelude to Liberty

From time to time, a great nation is born, arising from people who join together, acting in concert, with the common interests and goals of living free and prosperous lives. In 1776, our founders joined in union the existing thirteen British colonies and acted as a single united nation with the founding principles of individual freedom and liberty. With bravery and courage, the nation of the united States of America was born and paid for in blood through a revolution to gain independence from England. Through the years since, she has suffered through wars and fought political oppressions, holding on to what liberty and freedom could be kept from those who sought to enslave her.

Today, over two hundred years later, we still believe that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We still believe that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. It is still held true 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 affect their safety and happiness. It is still basic to our beliefs that any government traitorous to the basic principles of freedom and liberty, while such treason may be declared to be within the laws of such government, it is the right of the people, and their duty, to throw off such a government and to provide for the security of their future.

There has been in the past few centuries a great effort by many people to remove our Constitution as the governing document and philosophy of our great nation. There has been a perverse evolution of our government so that it now prevents the people from obtaining liberty and justice and enslaves them to the bondage of the government. The government controls and restricts freedom. It controls and perverts justice while committing acts of tyranny. It demands the fruits of our labors without our consent.

The governments have been effective through their use of the public media and through the brutal and forceful agencies of the federal and States’ governments. They have used the public media to distribute their propaganda of fears, lies, and promises of comfort to the American people. They have used federal and State agencies to enforce their will, and they have corrupted the State and federal legislatures to create laws of their bidding while also ignoring the needs of the people.

We have warned them from time to time of their attempts by their actions to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have continued to remind them that we are a free country without bondage to government. The destruction of liberty and freedom by these people must be stopped and the individual liberty and freedoms restored.

To this end, We the People must abolish our current governments and declare these free and independent States to be without bond to the existing governments. These free and independent states shall be maintained as States in union.

The governments, federal, State, and local, that have corrupted our system of governance have been warned, protested against, threatened, and even voted from office, all without satisfactory results. The governments have become increasingly corrupt while creating a system that betters their efforts to gain control and power. Regardless of election or appointment, the people are not heard, and actions required of our redress ignored.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these united States; and such is now the necessity for which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present government is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States and We the People. To prove this, let the following facts be submitted to a candid world.

1. The Presidents have conducted acts of war on foreign soils without a declaration of war and without approval of war from Congress, rendering the military independent of and superior to the civil power.

2. The federal government has a long-standing policy directed at disarming private citizens while militarily arming the once most peaceful of government agencies who now commit acts of terrorism, tyranny, and cruelty.

3. The government has ordered and allowed its operatives to conduct actions in foreign nations that are unlawful in those nations and these united States.

Many firearms have been banned or sizeable taxes levied for ownership by private citizens, while the standing armies and law enforcement agencies of the government enjoy their use.

9. The government has plundered the incomes of the people by taxing their incomes beyond their ability to pay and still maintain a standard of living equal to the efforts of their labors.

22. The people are denied equal opportunity to campaign for public office as two dominant political parties control the majority of private and public funding necessary for campaigning and have established rules for candidacy that prohibit equal representation.

23. The two dominant political parties deny alternative party candidates equal access public funds that they enjoy and to public forums through construction of prohibitive election campaign laws and regulations.

35. The federal government has cooperated in allowing foreign governments to control our laws, our regulations, and our actions, foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws without consent by treaty or approval of the people.

36. The government has placed our armies in the control of foreign governments.

37. The federal government has regulations and orders that allow foreign armies on our soils to conduct actions against the people of these united States in support of the federal government.

39. The states no longer have representation in the federal government through the office of state appointed senators.

40. Secrecy of government actions in the name of national security takes place at the expense of the public good.

51. The government has created a system of fiat currency and has eroded our monetary holdings through money laundering, high taxation, and unwarranted national debt. The government has removed our currency basis in gold and silver.

52. The people no longer have the vote as the political parties have found they can perform many acts of fraud to declare themselves the victor in any political election without consequences, court support, or legislative support to stop their fraud.

53. The governments of the States have declared themselves to be dictators under the guise of public health and safety and have demanded that we shut our businesses, stay in our homes, restrict our travels, prevent our presence in public places, and participate in acts to display our obedience to the government.

54. The governments have allowed foreign invaders to assume citizenship, to hold public office, to be officers in our courts, and to serve in our military.
