          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.

our Lord:
