When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for citizens to dissolve the political bands which have heretofore connected them with the two, major, existing political parties and to assume among the powers of the earth, a new political party, with the separate and equal station which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitles it, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for citizens
to dissolve the political bands which have heretofore connected them
with the two, major, existing political parties and to assume among
the powers of the earth, a new political party, with the separate and
equal station which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitles
it, 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 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, political parties are
instituted among Men, deriving their powers from the consent of their
members, That whenever any political party becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the Right of those members to separate themselves
from it, and to institute a new party, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them seem
most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed,
will dictate that affiliations with existing political parties long
established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and
accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed
to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by
separating from such political parties to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations by both major,
political parties, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a
design to reduce the American public under the absolute Despotism of
the Federal government in Washington, D.C., it is their right, it is
their duty, to throw off their allegiances to such parties, and to
form a new political party for their and their children's future
security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of the American people; and such
is now the necessity which constrains the undersigned citizens of the
United States of America to alter their allegiances to their former
political parties. The history of the present Republican and
Democratic Parties is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny
by the Federal government over the American people. To prove this,
let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
---Both parties have created a tax system which stifles individual
initiative and hard work and punishes those who would produce the
wealth of this nation, while rewarding those who would choose to do
nothing at all.
---Both parties have created a tax system which, at the end of the
barrel of gun, compels citizens to subsidize a political spoil system
designed primarily to keep members of those parties in power.
---Both parties have created whole classes of people who, to their
spiritual detriment, have become solely dependent on the Federal
government for their sustenance and, as a result, sell their vote to
whichever party offers them the most governmental assistance.
---Both parties have systematically gutted the Right of the citizenry
to bear such arms as are necessary to protect themselves and their
families against evildoers, both foreign and domestic.
---Both parties, in pursuit of maintaining political position and
power, have run future generations of this nation so far into debt
that those generations can never realistically hope of being free of
the yoke of those to whom that debt is owed.
As a major component of the debt saddling our children and
grandchildren, both parties have pursued a policy of providing
trillions of dollars of "bail outs" to failing banks, mortgage
lenders, credit card companies, Wall Street investment firms and multi-
national corporations who owe no allegiance to this country,
justifying such bail outs to the public with the argument that these
entities were just "too big to fail," where in actuality the
motivation for such "bail outs" was both parties' continued
indebtedness to these big businesses and the unions associated with
them.
---Both parties have pursued a policy of encouraging the ever-
increasing centralization and collectivization of wealth and power in
an evil triumvirate of Big Government, Big Business and Big Unions, to
the detriment of those principles of limited government, individual
liberty and personal initiative, which made this country great.
---Both parties have debased the value of citizenship in this nation
by permitting those who would ignore and defy the immigration laws of
this nation to freely enter and remain herein.
---Lastly, both parties have allowed the laws and Constitution of this
nation to be so subverted and twisted that giving honor and glory to
Nature's God, our Creator, either in our schools or in our public
discourse, is now forbidden by a court system instituted to protect
the same unalienable Rights He endowed.
We, therefore, as citizens of the United States of America, in General
Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for
the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name of the good People
of the United States of America, solemnly publish and declare, That we
are and of Right ought to be Free and Independent of the Republican
and Democratic Parties; that we are absolved of all allegiance to
those parties, and that all political connection between us and those
parties, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as members of
a new, Free and Independent political party, have full Power to do all
Acts and Things which an independent political party 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.
