To the Legislators

TO THE LEGISLATORS

I, the people,

have waited patiently

I gave you my vote

and you conspired against me,

my friends, family and children

I revoke your power

I, the people, may govern

myself in any way I choose

you are dismissed

you will not be forgiven

but you will not be punished

your lives will be spared

go now
