For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of trial by Jury:

For transporting people for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System set up by the Bill of Rights, establishing therein arbitrary government offices with enhanced technology so as to eliminate Habeus Corpus and privacy altogether and render institutions mere instruments for introducing absolute rule.

For abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments placing institutions above individuals:

For corporate infiltration of our legislatures and controlling legislatures through the influence of financial gains and losses:

They have abdicated the rights of individuals by declaring those who practice the Five Freedoms of the First Amendment as out of their protection and waged war against us.

They have plundered and polluted our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our resources, and destroyed the lives of the many for the benefit of the few.

They are at this time transporting large armies of mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of any civilized nation.

For every stage of these oppressions we redress in the most humble terms.   Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury and ostracism. The leaders of these institutions, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, are unfit to be the rulers of a free people.   Those authorities who disregard the Five Freedoms of the First Amendment as it applies to individuals will be met with conscious practice of the first Amendment.

We appeal to our native justice and magnanimity 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 brotherhood. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces them, and holds them, as we hold the rest of mankind, exploiters when they don't practice the Golden Rule and brotherhood when they do.

We, therefore, the people of the United States of America, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by authority of the Bill of Rights, solemnly publish and declare, that these united people are, and of right ought to be Free and moreover protected when practicing the Five Freedoms of First Amendment, foundational human rights and when authorities act to remove those rights from individuals and offer them to institutions, they contradict the foundational First Amendment and therefore require no allegiance and ought to be met with conscious resistance and that all political connection between them ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent individuals, we have full power to conduct ourselves as presented in foundational First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.   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.
