A declaration of independence from the government of the United States of America

A government is empowered through the consent of the governed to serve a
sacred purpose, namely, to create a bright and sustainable future for its
people and a biodiverse garden of its region. This purpose is possible.

If a government no longer serves its intended purpose then it is proper that
each individual formally withdraw his or her consent to be ruled by that
government.

Through a consistent stream of actions the United States Government has
proved itself to be corrupt, having turned away from serving its original
purpose. The United States Government has therefore failed, and is de facto
illegitimate. Consequently, all of its authorities over me are hereby
removed and the United States Government is hereby disbanded in its
entirety. All branches, the legislative, executive and judicial branches,
including all offices and resources, political, military, informational and
financial, are hereby disenfranchised and replaced by local,
self-organizing, bioregional governments and currencies that promote
sustainable infrastructures and demonstrably serve the principles of
integrity, transparency, interdependence, consciousness and the sustainable
well being of their entire ecology.

Human beings carry an inalienable responsibility for choosing to whom or
what they pledge their allegiance. From this moment forward I no longer
pledge my allegiance to the organization that has called itself the
Government of the United States of America. We are dissociated. I disallow
that organization to legislate, adjudicate, use money, or make agreements in
my name, either nationally or internationally. I hereby withdraw my
franchise from the United States Government and I no longer submit myself to
its authority. I hereby abandon my United States Passport as worthless, null
and void because through its own actions the United States Government has
invalidated itself.

This document recognizes that the United States Government has irredeemably abolished itself by no longer fulfilling its true purpose. This document announces that I take my authority back from that failed organization. The United States Government no longer has authority to represent me, tax me, detain me, question me, or in any way rule over me. It
can no longer take any actions in my name. From this moment forward I take
back my autonomy. I hereby declare my independence from the organization
that has called itself the Government of the United States of America.

  • If you think now was the right time to do it and you're how old? How is it that you lived through so many bad Presidents?

  • I wonder what the legal options are for voluntarily becoming a refugee. Will the US deport you to your country of choice? It's not like there's a "new world" to colonize anymore and I doubt they'll let you just freeload on their soil.
  • hippies. same people, just getting a little smarter.

  • If you are truly doing this - which I believe you are, don't get me wrong - how do you plan on functioning in daily life? And also, could you get arrested for this? Could the government just say, "Your document has no power over American Law," and then the cops come and arrest you? I'm sorry, but this is fascinating, and I would like to understand the logistics of it.

  • Power to the people.

  • No need for a gigantic power struggle... The need in our government is for a decrease in federal power and an increase in state power as it was when our government was established and up until Franklin Roosevelt's "reign" in the thirties and forties.

  • I really do not understand why you would want to denounce your citizenship to the U.S. We have the right to change who our leaders are, thats why we have elections. If you are so unhappy with who is in office DON'T reelect them. Support and campaign for someone who shares your ideals. It's pretty simple it is not like we live in a dictatorship. I really cannot stand people in this country that are so anti-American do you not realize that we are still the most generous country ever we are still a global leader in science, technology, medicine, and agriculture. We give more in charity and aid then any other country. Why do you feel that it is so bad to live here. If you really hate it here that much then leave and good riddance.

  • thank you sephig, true words of wisdom

  • I enjoyed this for it's eloquence and insight.
    The 10 reasons stated in the full declaration are well thought out. The anonymous writer is now living in South Africa so, it would appear that she meant every word that she wrote.

  • Im sorry you guys i live a very happy and fulfiiling life w/ my family raising my young and innocent kids.Id never realized that people think about the gov't this much.Gov't does not keep from doing anything at all.
    What im trying to say is if you keep gov't out of your mind and just live your life to the fullest everyday than gov't can never control you

  • It is completely possible to be happy with your personal life and still have significant energy left over to care about injustice, government corruption, naive environmental policies, and other issues that affect us and all of our children (i have six).

    I view the original statement as a form of guerilla theater in the tradition of creative political protest more than a serious legal statement at this point.

  • Ogmin you live in a world of conspiracy and the over thinking of everything. Have you ever considered looking into OCD treatment.

    Try living in a country like North Korea or Burma for a month and come back and tell me how bad it is here.

    New Generation, Same Hippies. Let me guess you smoke pot wear hemp sandals, play hacky sack and have long hair.

    Coincidence i think not

    But im not saying the pot thing is bad, just everythin else.

  • I reject the premise that the purpose of government is to create a biodiverse garden of its region. Therefore, everything else you said is null and void.

    But I like your style.

  • I bet you feel like a free man now, huh? Lucky.

  • Why go through all the trouble to declare your independence from the goverment of the United States of America?

    If you are really that dissatisfied, then renounce your citizenship and move to another country...

    ...there's no need to act like an unwanted, crazy ex-girlfriend about it.
  • really? seriously?
    weskandel
  • This is brilliant, it's too bad there is too many apathetic people in this Country to fully overthrow this BANK ran Country.

    When the Founding Father's founded this Country they did it with the hope that we would overthrow our Government if it did not do what it was supposed to do, that time has come and we are too complacent.

    I commend you, and pray you follow through. I will back you 100%, I have been an activist for about 2 years now, ever since I was 18, when I finally woke up and smelled the corruptness.

    WE vote them in, WE vote them out. WE have EVERY authority for forcefully remove them from that position of "power," if treason were to occur. And, in my opinion, treason is not abiding by that oath that was taken 4 years ago, treason is the Patriot Act which now makes this a DICTATORSHIP, whether you see it or not - it is.
