A Declaration of Independence from Political Parties

From time to time it may become necessary for a people to abolish a political system which neither works for nor seeks the consent of the people and to once again assume the status of Independence.

“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.” For some time now this government, which has been poisoned with a two party system, has been inadequate, unresponsive, belligerent, and tyrannical. And a long train of offenses has once again been suffered by the people at the hands of the government that was once supposed to protect and defend them. It is our right and our duty to throw off this system in which the people’s rights, the security of our nation, and our economic liberties are not protected nor even considered. To prove this, let the facts once again be shown to the world.

They have refused to honor the rule of law, instead they have cared only for political pandering and rhetoric which frenzy the people to the support of their unjust causes.

They have passed bills tainted with thousands of unneeded earmarks resulting in financially irresponsible political favors for the congress but no help to the American People.

They pass bills without reading them.

They make law in closed-door meetings; shut out from public scrutiny.

They have obtained power in the private sector using taxpayer money with no intention of relinquishing that power, even after the so called crisis is over. Instead, they regulate it into bankruptcy and strip it of its right to self-govern and sell positions in the private sector to their political friends for campaign donations.

They have used government contracts paid for by the taxpayers in order to intimidate the owners of media companies into reporting favorably on their misdeeds in the hopes of garnering the support of the people so that they can continue to misuse taxpayer money and abuse the citizens of the United States.

They have used financial and economic emergencies as an excuse and a means to invade and usurp the rights of the people.

They have funded organizations that are known to commit election fraud, intimidation and coercion to elect and re-elect themselves and their political friends.

They have refused to protect and defend the borders of this country while criminals, drug dealers and human smugglers infect our population, murder our people and cripple our standard of living through deflated wages and siphoning American money to other countries; while at the same time making it tedious and stressful to legally enter this country with endless and useless regulations all in the name of safety.

They have placed activist judges in areas of importance who violate the very Constitution they are sworn to uphold by creating policy and law from the bench in order to please their own political ideologies or that of their masters who placed them in their positions of power.

They have created useless, money-sucking agencies which fulfill redundant missions and cost more than twice what they were projected to cost.

They have abused our military first by undermining their mission, their morale, their security nd their lives for the purposes of political gain.

They have endeavored to make the citizens of the United States subordinate to other laws outside of the Constitution by signing treaties which are deliberately designed to undermine the American people and way of life.

They have housed the United Nations, a body of corrupt vipers and hate-mongering murderers, on our shores under the guise of peace.

They have held themselves above the law and safe from justice when they have committed crimes against the people.

They have regulated our industry in such a manner that it cannot compete with foreign trade.

For taxing citizens and businesses alike with obscene and never-ending taxes and confusing tax codes.

For burdening the citizens with an endless bureaucracy of incompetent federal employees who care not for the business of the people and make it impossible to get anything done quickly.

For failing to enforce or even follow their own laws with the full expectation of compliance by the citizens.

For nullifying legal contracts in the private sector.

For failing to protect the rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

For refusing the private citizen of the right to carry military arms and form lawful militias as per the Constitution.

For separating us by race, religion, gender, nationality and creed, pitting race against race, and man against woman, religion against religion and claiming political victory at the people's expense.

The have endeavored to pass laws that were knowingly in such contrast to the will of the people and would burden them in such a gross manner that the people had to all but revolt before the laws were defeated.

They have betrayed the American trust and violated the Constitution by creating a Federal Reserve which is a private bank that controls our currency, prints our money and controls our interest rates.

They have indebted us to foreign countries and shackled us with debt that is so high that no generation alive or the ones who have yet to be born will ever see the American people debt free.

They have burdened the people with high energy costs by refusing access to sources of energy here and instead mortgage the American people to the Kings and Tyrants of the Middle East.

They have created an entitlement culture which enslaves minorities and the poor to the government.

In every stage of these oppressions we have strived for resolution through new elections of representatives, senators, and presidents only to be answered with political rhetoric and inaction. A government that is thus marked with self-serving corruption and oppression can only be labeled tyrannical and thus unfit to govern a free people.Nor have our political parties been able to address the situation. Every two years we volunteer our time, energy, diligence and money to the causes of our parties and are rewarded every time with more corruption, greed and control by the government. We have had out liberties slowly chipped away by Congress and Presidents alike and every two years we reward them with the honor of office and pay them salaries as if to thank them for oppressing us. We appeal to God and to the people of this nation to free us of our political oppressors, the two-party system, and the politicians who keep us a people divided. We absolve ourselves from the political parties and the system of abuse that each enjoy over us. We cling to logic, freedom, liberty and all the risks and rewards that go with them. We declare Independence from this political neurotoxin that has become both Republican and Democrat; which has poisoned the Congress and the Presidents and declare ourselves a free and independent people.

“--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.”
