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.
