          Declaration of Independence of 1994



                 A Declaration by the

               Sovereign Citizens of the

               Several States Within the

                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 people 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 the people, 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.



     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 the people of the

several states of the United States of America; and such is now the

Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of

Government.



     The History of the present federal government of the United

States of America is one of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all

having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over

these States and over the sovereign citizens within the several states.

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.



     All Branches, the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, of the

federal government, have refused Assent to Laws, the most wholesome

and necessary for the public Good, the most blatant example of which

is the total contempt in which they have held the Constitution of the

United States and the rights of the citizens of this country protected by

the limitations upon government set forth in the Constitution;



     The President and Congress have forbidden state Governors

to pass Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, under inducement

or threat of the loss of federal funding, unless suspended in their

Operation till their Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended,

they have utterly neglected to attend to them;



     The legislative branch 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, as evidenced

through the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution

of the United States, and the present federal voting system, which is a

national sham and disgrace, and prevents the common man from

participating either as a candidate, or by meaningful vote for a

candidate of his choosing in a truly free and open election;



     The Congress convenes in a manner which is inaccessible to

the general public who are not allowed to address the Congress nor to

directly supervise the activities of Congress, and publishes its business

in records not readily accessible to the People, intentionally obtuse in

the construction of both the laws and the publication thereof, for the

Purposes of deceiving and fatiguing the people into Compliance with

such Measures. The federal judicial offices and congress have set

themselves wholly apart from and above the people, immune even from

suit for their transgressions, answerable to none, and responsive to

none except those who further their private interests;



     The federal government, through unlawfully constituted federal

agencies which purport to be "law enforcement," and under the color of

laws enacted by the legislature which exceed the constitutional

jurisdiction of the federal government, has repeatedly murdered or

incarcerated those who have opposed with manly Firmness the

Invasions on the Rights of the People;



     The federal government has endeavored to prevent the

Population of these States; 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; and has endeavored to depopulate the United States, and for

that purpose, has waged chemical, biological, and radioactive warfare

upon the people, and encouraged and funded abortions and acts of

genocide upon large populations of the people;



     All the branches of the federal government have obstructed

the Administration of Justice, by subjugating the federal courts to the

department of Treasury and the Executive Branch, and by refusing

Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers and the independent

investigation of crimes committed by agencies and officials of the

federal government, insulating them from their crimes through executive

pardon, legislated and judicially created immunity from criminal and civil

prosecution;



     The Federal Judiciary have been selected on the will and whim

of the executive branch and a Congress inattentive to anything but their

own special interests and the will and money of lobbying groups, and

the judiciary is dependent upon them for the Tenure of their Offices,

and the Amount and payment of their Salaries;



     The federal government has erected a Multitude of new Offices,

and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out

their Substance;



     The federal government has kept among us, in Times of

Peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our Legislatures, or

through the seduction or coercion of the state legislatures through the

mechanism of "federal tax monies" offered in exchange for the

cooperation of the state legislatures in handing over the sovereignty of

each state;



     The Military has been rendered independent of, and superior

to the Civil Power, through the enactment of laws which wholly abridge

the Constitution of the United States and which seek to avoid the effect

of the Posse Comitatus Act through surreptitious and covert methods;



     The President, officers of the executive branch, and Congress

have combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our

Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving Assent to their

acts of pretended Legislation;



     For quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops, foreign and

federal, among us;



     For protecting agents of the federal government and military,

from any trial or by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders

which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States;



     For regulating and strangulating our Trade with all Parts of the

World;



     For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent; for failing to

publicly acknowledge, more than 60 years ago, that the federal

government was in fact, bankrupt, but instead, concealing these facts

from the people and entering into a fraudulent agreement to finance the

bankruptcy, by creating and perpetuating a fraudulent monetary system,

to the enrichment of private bankers, insurance companies, and their

stockholders, called the "federal reserve system", whereby paper notes

are created to "loan" to the federal government at interest rates fixed

by these private bankers, and where only a portion of the interest and

none of the principal on these loans is paid each year; a system

whereby the payments are extorted from the people through a

fraudulent, coercive, unjust and unlawful federal tax scheme foisted

upon the people without their knowledge or consent and through a

labyrinth of licensing agencies and required licenses for all manner of

endeavors, which are themselves nothing more than taxes by another

name; all enforced by unbridled terrorist tactics and fear produced by

the brute force of an unrestrained government that seizes property and

imprisons those who do not "voluntarily" submit.



     For depriving us, in many Cases, of the Benefits of Trial by

Jury;



     For proposing and enacting legislation to federally criminalize,

indeed to suffer the death penalty in many cases or at the least the

forfeiture of property, for the free exercise of the unalienable rights of

free speech and free press, freedom of worship, freedom of assembly,

or the right to keep and bear arms;



     For enacting legislation to seize the property of the people

under a myriad of pretenses, and to imprison persons on the testimony

of unknown, unidentified, and often paid, informants, who become

informants to secure for themselves a more favorable position in a

prosecution brought against them, and all within the states where the

federal government has no legal powers of law enforcement;



     For abolishing the free System of English Laws in the states,

and establishing therein 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 usurping the power of our own Legislatures, and declaring

themselves invested with Power to legislate for us in all Cases

whatsoever;



     The federal government has abdicated Government here, by

declaring us out of its Protection and waging War against us;



     The federal government has plundered our Seas, ravaged our

Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the Lives of our People;



     The federal government, at this Time, is transporting large

Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of Death,

Desolation, and Tyranny, already begun, often under the color of the

law of the United Nations, and with circumstances of Cruelty and

Perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous Ages, and totally

unworthy of a civilized Nation;



     The government 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;



     The federal government has excited domestic Insurrections

amongst us;



     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. A President, whose Character is

thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the

Ruler of a free People.



     We, therefore, the sovereign citizens of the several states of

the united states, which now form the United States of America,

appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our

Intentions, do, in our own names and right and by the authority of God

Almighty, solemnly Publish and Declare, that each of the sovereign

citizens undersigned are, and of Right ought to be, Free and

Independent Sovereign Citizens; that they are absolved from all

Allegiance to the federal government of the United States of America,

and that all political Connection between them and the federal

government of the United States of America, is and ought to be totally

dissolved; and that as Free and Independent Sovereign Citizens, each

has the full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances,

establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which an

Independent Sovereign 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.
