The Declaration of Reclamation

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, 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 shown
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 citizens of these 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 two-party system is a history of
repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment
of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to
a candid world.
The current body of elected officials, members primarily of the Republican and
Democratic parties, have over the last century shared control of the day to day
operations of our governmental infrastructure and in doing so have created an
environment leading to the destruction of personal liberty and individual rights,
freedom of choice, and equality under the law.

The list of grievances is long, some injuries include:

1. Allowing the creation and sustained operation of The Federal Reserve System,
a banking cartel that controls the monetary system in all forms, burdening the
citizens with the hidden tax of inflation and other ills associated with the
current fiat monetary system.
... we conclude that the [Federal] Reserve Banks are not federal ... but are
independent privately owned and locally controlled corporations... without day to
day direction from the federal government.
-9th circuit court; Lewis vs United States, June 24, 1982
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than
standing armies.
Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at
defiance. The
issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the
people to
whom it properly belongs."--Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President.
"A great industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit. Our system of
credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the
worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in
the world-- no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by
conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of
small groups of dominant men." -- President Woodrow Wilson
2. Enforcement of the 16th amendment, which was never properly ratified by the
states, creating a tax on the wages of individuals, violating constitutional
limits on taxation.
“The more laws are enacted and taxes assessed, the greater the number of
lawbreakers and tax evaders” –Lao Tzu
"100% of what is collected is absorbed
solely by interest on the Federal Debt ...
all individual income tax revenues are gone
before one nickel is spent on the services
taxpayers expect from government."
-Grace Commission report submitted to President Ronald Reagan on January 15, 1984
"We now have so many regulations that
everyone is guilty of some violation."
- Donald Alexander, IRS Director, before Congress ~1975
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil
than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder. - Frederic
Bastiat ‘The Law’
3. Forcing an agenda of Socialist World Government based on the model of
collectivism.
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will
believe it.” –Adolf Hitler

After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful
grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the
whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small,
complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and
the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will
of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it
to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not
destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses,
enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to
nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the
government is the shepherd. – Alexis de Tocqueville

The sovereignty fetish is still so strong in the public mind, that there would
appear to be little chance of winning popular assent to American membership in
anything approaching a super-state organization. Much will depend on the kind of
approach which is used in further popular education. -
Council on Foreign Relations

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to
vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely
to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on
earth is the individual). – Ayn Rand

“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical” -Thomas Jefferson
4. Creating the illusion of fair elections by using electronic voting devices
and corporate money to alter electoral results.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a
well-armed lamb contesting the vote! – Ben Franklin
"Forced to choose, the poor, like the rich,
love money more than political liberty;
and the only political freedom capable of enduring
is one that is so pruned as to keep the rich
from denuding the poor by ability or subtlety
and the poor from robbing the rich by violence or votes." - Will Durant,
"Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
Those who count the votes decide everything."
—Communist Tyrant and mass murderer Josef Stalin
5. Perpetuating war against the false foe of “terrorism” to curtail
constitutional rights, grow government and advance the ideals of collectivism.
I don’t give a goddamn. I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my
way. ... Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It’s just a goddamned piece of
paper! - George W. Bush, White House cabinet meeting to discuss the renewal of
the Patriot Act, in response to GOP leaders presenting a valid case that the
Patriot Act undermined the Constitution. Doug Thompson, Capital Hill Blue, Dec 5,
2005 http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7779.shtml
“Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious
to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican
liberty”-- George Washington
“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether
the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name
of liberty or democracy?” -- Mahatma Gandhi
6. Engaging in a foreign policy that creates enemies, not allies.
“The cost in terms of liberties lost and the unnecessary exposure to terrorism are
difficult to determine, but in time it will become apparent to all of us that
foreign interventionism is of no benefit to American citizens, but instead is a
threat to our liberties” -- Ron Paul
“Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto”. -- Thomas
Jefferson
7. Systematically destroying the educational infrastructure of America by
promoting the ideals of collectivism and creating an environment designed to
indoctrinate our youth.
"Parent choice'' proceeds from the belief that the purpose of education is to
provide individual students with an education. In fact, educating the individual
is but a means to the true end of education, which is to create a viable social
order to which individuals contribute and by which they are sustained. "Family
choice'' is, therefore, basically selfish and anti-social in that it focuses on
the "wants'' of a single family rather than the "needs'' of society. -Association
of California School Administrators
"The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled
society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by
traditional values." – Zbigniew Brzeninski, National Security Adviser to Jimmy
Carter and President Bush as co-chairman of the Bush National Security Advisory
Task Force; executive director of the Trilateral Commission
8. Gradually destroying American sovereignty by neglecting our national
boarders and creating avenues for illegal immigration and the creation of the
North American Union.
"The SPP process, however, is being conducted in a secretive manner with a view to
“harmonizing” U.S., Canadian and Mexican policies, regulations and practices in
ways that may actually undermine our security and sovereignty. For instance,
measures that would make it easier to move goods and people across borders could
have the effect of further weakening this country’s ability to secure its
frontiers and prevent illegal immigration. Such secretiveness seems not to be
accidental. The public interest group Judicial Watch had to resort to use of the
Freedom of Information Act to obtain notes from a “North American Forum”
conference, attended by U.S. government and corporate officials. Conferees made
reference to using a practice called “evolution by stealth” to prevent significant
opposition from developing to the desired end-state: a supranational North
American association of some kind." - From an August 2007 letter to Prsident
Goerge W. Bush signed by more than 20 concerned Represntatives in the United
States Congress
9. Invading the privacy of Americans, listening to our phone calls,
investigating our financial ventures, and reading our email, all under the
pretense of security.
“And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to
infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to
prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping
their own arms; or to raise standing armies, unless necessary for the defense of
the United States, or of some one or more of them; or to prevent the people from
petitioning, in a peaceable and orderly manner, the federal legislature, for a
redress of grievances; or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and
seizures of their persons, papers or possessions.” -Samuel Adams
A government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal
monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims. –Ayn Rand
10. Attacking our constitutional right to bear arms, thereby limiting our
ability to protect our property from either criminals or a tyrannical government.
Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would
resist us have been totally disarmed. -Sarah Brady
There is no reason for anyone in this country -- anyone except a police officer or
military person -- to buy, to own, to have, to use a handgun. The only way to
control handgun use in this country is to prohibit the guns. -President Bill
Clinton
“Under every government the [last] resort of the people, is an appeal to the
sword; whether to defend themselves against the open attacks of a foreign enemy,
or to check the insidious encroachments of domestic foes. Whenever a people ...
entrust the defence of their country to a regular, standing army, composed of
mercenaries, the power of that country will remain under the direction of the most
wealthy citizens.” - Anonymous 'framer' of the US Constitution; Independent
Gazetteer, January 29, 1791

Just as man can't exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right
to translate one's rights into reality, to think, to work and keep the results,
which means: the right of property. –Ayn Rand
11. Contributing to economic turmoil and high jobless rates through the illegal
income tax, corporate bailouts, foolish fiscal policy and inflationary spending.
“All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise not from defects in
their Constitution or Confederation, nor from want of honor or virtue, so much as
downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation”. –John Adams
Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution...
the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping
its hands off. –Ayn Rand
“Men naturally rebel against the injustice of which they are victims. Thus, when
plunder is organized by law for the profit of those who make the law, all the
plundered classes try somehow to enter -- by peaceful or revolutionary means --
into the making of laws. According to their degree of enlightenment, these
plundered classes may propose one of two entirely different purposes when they
attempt to attain political power: Either they may wish to stop lawful plunder, or
they may wish to share in it”. - Frederic Bastiat ‘The Law’ 1848
12. Removing freedom of choice in healthcare through the creation of a cartel in
the industry.
“They have gun control in Cuba. They have universal health care in Cuba. So why do
they want to come here?” – Paul Harvey
“If the people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they
take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who
live under tyranny” – Thomas Jefferson
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when
it's free. – P.J. O’Rourke

This is only a partial list of abuses the American people have suffered at the
hands of the current two-party system. On many occasions the citizens have sought
redress for our grievances, only to be denied by those elected to represent our
best interests in a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.
We have from time to time reminded them of our constitutional rights, of the
values that Americans hold dear, and of the sacrifices of our fore fathers. Our
pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

Therefore, claiming our birthright as free men, as free AMERICANS, we join forces
to declare that no longer will we stand by idle as our constitutional rights to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are torn from our grasp.
