The following is the Declaration of The Revolution. It is our modification of the Declaration of Independence. You will find that a great deal of it is the same. The Founding Fathers were possessed of great wisdom. And that is why the Constitution, a document that seems to be fading in the hands of lesser men who would pretend to have dignity and honor enough to sit in the place of those great men is still, in our opinion, the greatest document of any government ever written. The foresight in the Declaration of Independence is equally timeless. The difference is only the source of the tyranny. The source that is now threatening this great nation now does not come from a tyrant across the sea, but instead from many tyrants within.

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 the pursuit of Happiness, and the right to keep and own that which they have acquired throught by the fruits of their own labor. — 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 States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to replace their former representatives within this Government. The recent history and present state of the government of these United States of America has become one 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 current establishment within our government HAS allowed the creation of laws that are in direct violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United states. Including among them laws that hinder even the most basic rights that should be afforded to citizens of this great nation.  They have repeatedly usurped individual rights designated to us by our creator, in an attempt to instate a society in which the abstract concept of the greater common good is a higher moral principle.
  • The current establishment within our government HAS subjected it's people to unjust taxes that are not apportioned in direct violation of the Constitution.
  • The current establishment within our government HAS so corrupted our economic system through excessive regulation, taxation, and favor to private interests, that the line has become blurred between healthy interactions in a free economy and collusion between government and said private interests. In addition it has enslaved the economy of this great nation to a private central bank. In so doing creating endless and perpetual debt to the private institution known as the Federal Reserve Bank. Rather then using the powers our government has to coin it's own currency, our government has entered into a contract to borrow our own currency from this organization at interest. The burden of this debt being needlessly taken from the rightful earnings of the citizens of this nation.
  • The current establishment within our government HAS allowed private interests to have an overpowering influence over our nation's laws and policies. In addition many of the current officials within our government have been corrupted themselves by these same private interests to the betterment of these private interests and to the detriment of the common citizens of our great nation.
  • The current establishment within our government HAS engaged this nation in wars and hostilities that have been executed in a manner contrary to our Constitution and the intentions of it's progenitors. Thereby forcing great hardship upon the people of this nation both personally and financially. And causing great distrust and resentment towards this nation from the other nations of this world.
  • The current establishment within our government HAS sought the passage of laws that would bring this nation dangerously close to a state of tyranny. Mentioned here, but not limited to, the violation of Posse Comitatus. Allowing our government to use it's own armed forces to police the citizens of this great nation. To attempt to eliminate Habeas corpus, depriving our citizens of their legal right to seek relief from unlawful detention. And laws that hinder or outright violate the Constitutional rights of our people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.
  • The current establishment within our government HAS sought the enactment of policies that violate the commitments made in previous international treaties.  This applies to enemy combatants including the accords of the Geneva Convention and it's provisions for prisoners taken in conflict. Further straining our nation's relations with the other nations of this world .
  • The current establishment within our government HAS sought the enactment of policies that violate the commitments made in previous treaties with the native peoples, who were living in this great land before the establishment of the US government.
  • The current establishment within our government HAS failed utterly to take action to rectify these matters that are critical to the survival of this great nation and it's liberty. None of the governing bodies of this nation have sought to fulfill their sacred duty by oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of these United States against all enemies foreign or domestic. Despite the blatant and repeated violations of officials within this establishment against the same country and it's Constitution they swore to defend.

In every stage of these oppressions we seek to petition for redress in the most humble terms: Our hope is that our petitions will not be answered by further injury. Any government official, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be part of the government of a free people.

We therefore as members of this organization do appeal to the supreme judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do in the name and by the will of the good people of these United States, solemnly publish and declare that this country should return to the state of liberty it was intended to maintain by it's founders. We seek to defend this nation's glory that a greedy and corrupt few would tarnish in pursuit of personal power at the expense of liberty. We And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other regardless of our individual political affiliations, our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Will you sign this Declaration of freedom from the corruption that has closed it's grasp around the lifeline of our liberty?
