Declaration of Independence Part 2: For Congress, Senate & State

Legislators, July 4, 2026

The Unanimous Declaration of the Fifty United 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 and women 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 and Women, 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 affect 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 50 States; and such is now the

necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history

of the present Atheist Marxist Religious Theocracy (AMRT) is a history of Decades 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.

(AMRT) has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public

good.

(AMRT) has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance,

unless suspended in their operation till (AMRT) Assent should be obtained; and when so

suspended, (AMRT) has utterly neglected to attend to them.

(AMRT) has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people,

unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right

inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. (Election Fraud)

(AMRT) has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and

distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them

into compliance with his measures.

(AMRT) has ruined reputations, finances and extortoted Representative Houses repeatedly,

for opposing with manly firmness (AMRT) invasions on the rights of the people.

(AMRT) has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected;

whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at

large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of

invasion from without, and convulsions within.

(AMRT) has endeavored to prevent the legal population of these States and supported

illegal immigration of (AMRT) similar from other countries; for that purpose obstructing the

Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations

hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

(AMRT) has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for

establishing Judiciary powers which are not of (AMRT) powers.

(AMRT) has made Judges dependent on (AMRT) Will alone, for the tenure of their offices,

and the amount and payment of their salaries.

(AMRT) has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to

harass our people, and eat out their substance.

(AMRT) has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Paid Internal Armies without the

Consent of our legislatures.

(AMRT) has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

(AMRT) has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution,

and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should

commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

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

For supporting transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For attempting abolishing the free System of American Laws, establishing there in an

Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example

and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these States:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering

fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to

legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

(AMRT) has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of (AMRT) Protection and

waging War against us.

(AMRT) has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the

lives of our people.

(AMRT) is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the

works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty &

perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a

civilized nation.

(AMRT) has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms

against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall

themselves by their Hands.

(AMRT) has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on

the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless (AMRT), whose known rule of warfare, is an

division of class, race, religion, sex undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and

conditions.

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. Leadership of

(AMRT), whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to

be the ruler or members of executive, legislative, judiciary of government positions of a free

people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our American brethren. We have warned them

from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction

over us. We have reminded them of the legal circumstances of our emigration and

settlement here and children thereof. 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 Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress,

both Federal and at State levels Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world

for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of

these States, solemnly publish and declare, That these United States are, and of Right

ought to be Free and Independent States from

(AMRT); that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the laws created by (AMRT), and that all political connection between them and (AMRT), is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. 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 and that none of us are associated or members of the treasonous (AMRT) created abroad to destroy our Freedoms given to us by those of past who have fought and died to preserve of Bill of Rights and Constitution of Americas Founding Principles.
