new declaration of independence

---

From the Constitution Party, July 4, 2025

A Declaration of the Rights of American Citizens, 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 the Citizens of America requires that they
should declare the causes which cause them to declare their Public Functionaries to be
traitors who have violated their oath of office and disregarded the Constitution.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equally free and
independent, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the right to own and use Private Property.–That to
secure these individual rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Public Functionary
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to correct them, and to
return Government to its limited form. Prudence will dictate that long established
traditions should not be changed for light and passing causes; and accordingly, all

experience hath shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evil is sufferable,
than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But
when a long train of abuses and violations, following invariably the same Object,
demonstrates a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is
their duty, to throw off such Public Functionaries, and to return to the Guards for their
future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of We the People; and such is
now the necessity which constrains them to alter their current Systems of Government
and return to the limited government we previously had. The history of the present
Oligarchy is a history of repeated injuries and violations, all having the direct purpose of
establishing an absolute Tyranny over the People. To prove this, let Facts be submitted
to a candid People.

They have created a wall of bureaucracy and agencies to insulate them from
accountability.

They have erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent swarms of Officers to harass
our people, and take their private property.

They have refused to pass laws submitted to them, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

They have treated some individuals and groups like second-class citizens, violating their Rights for the preferential treatment or benefit of other individuals or groups.

They have used the IRS and Law Enforcement agencies to target and harass those who have questioned or resisted them.

They have repeatedly prevented and persecuted Citizens for speaking out at public
meetings, Citizens who have opposed with firmness the invasions on the rights of the
people.

They have made Judges through bureaucracies who are dependent on their Will alone,
for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries, and have
directed abuse of justice by their judges.

They have repeatedly ignored due process and, without warrants, searched private
property and records, taken private property, and imprisoned individuals indefinitely.

They have raised and kept among us, Standing Armies of alphabet agencies and
bureaucrats to rule in the place of the limited legislature, executive, and judiciary
branches of the Constitution.

They have combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our
constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving their Ascent to their Acts of
pretended laws:

They have bought our schools and indoctrinate our children into their service:

They have used the guise of environmental protection to steal our private property and
confiscate our assets.

For protecting their bureaucrats, by a mock Trial or no trial, from punishment for any
abuses which they have committed on the Citizens of these States:

For creating and facilitating conflicts in foreign lands for their own profits:

For wasting our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers, lives and
wellbeing and the meager resources of our Citizens, for their wars and conflicts:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent, to pay for unconstitutional expenditures:

For abusing us with the unfettered tax of inflating away our incomes and savings
through fiat currency and crushing debt:

For preventing us from using sound money, silver and gold, for currency:

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For taking away our Constitutions, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering
fundamentally the Forms of our Governments through their judges:

For buying our own Legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to
legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

They have abdicated the right to govern here, by declaring us out of their Protection and waging War against us.

They have incited domestic insurrections amongst us and have endeavored to bring on
the daily destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions, We have Petitioned for Redress in the humblest
terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Public
Functionary, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is
unfit to be the representative of a free People.

Nor have We been lacking in thoughts of our American brethren. We have warned them
from time to time of attempts by their government to extend an unwarrantable
jurisdiction over us. We have invoked them by the ties of our common kindred to
disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably disrupt our connections,
communication, and our unity. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of
kinship. 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 Constitution Party, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for
the correctness of our intentions, do, in the Name of the Citizens of America, solemnly
publish and declare, That We the People are, and of Right ought to be Free and
Independent; that We are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Oligarchy, and that all
political connection between us and the Oligarchy, is and ought to be totally dissolved;
and that as Free and Independent Citizens of America, We have full Power and Right to
do all other Acts and Things which Free Citizens may of right do. We invoke the return to the Constitution and to a limited government that will secure our inalienable Rights.

We demand that our States get their creation, the U.S. government, back under control. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
