A Declaration of Individual Independence

Posted by sakerfa on July 2, 2009

Whereas, Patrick Henry said: “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.” James Madison wrote: “It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow. For far too many decades, government, at all levels, operating almost virtually unrestrained by the constitution and lobbied by socialists, radical environmentalists, corporations, bankers, unions and foreigners, has far exceeded its constitutional authority and has continuously assaulted or taken away our constitutional rights as regards the ownership of our land, as well as many other of our freedoms and liberties, as guaranteed and protected by the U. S. Constitution, and
Whereas, all natural born or naturalized Americans are sovereign and free citizens of the United States of America and are only bound by the Constitution of the United States (and laws not in violation thereof) and by the Constitution of the state in which each of us resides, and further, each believes in the words of Alexander Hamilton wherein he wrote: “No legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy (agent) is greater than his principal; that the servant is above the master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people; that men, acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid. It is not to be supposed that the Constitution could intend to enable the representatives of the people to substitute their will to that of their constituents. A Constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by judges as fundamental law. If there should happen to be a irreconcilable variance between the two, the Constitution is to be preferred to the statute”, and
Whereas, corrupt legislatures and bureaucrats, at all levels, in violation of their oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the U. S. Constitution, have passed and are continuing to pass, voluminous, unreadable, incoherent acts, ordinances, regulations, restrictions, edicts, laws and ratify treaties that are in direct violation of the strict and literal interpretation of our federal or state constitutions, pursuant to the intent of the framers or drafters of said constitutions, and
Whereas, the U. S. and state supreme courts have failed in their duty to literally interpret our Constitutions as the supreme law of the land and have inserted, in some cases, radical political, environmental, or socialist bias into their decisions, thereby rendering those decisions void, and
Whereas, we consider the words of George Sutherland, Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court to be inviolate, wherein he wrote: “To give a man his life, but deny him his liberty, is to take from him all that makes his life worth living. To give him his liberty, but take from him the property which is the fruit and badge of his liberty, is to still leave him a slave”, and
Whereas, the net result of these acts by government, is that all American citizens have lost most if not all of their freedoms, their liberty, their property rights and American sovereignty, to the corrupt, unconscionable and unconstitutional violations of the supreme law of the land, at the hands of federal, state and local politicians, lawmakers and bureaucrats.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that I, the undersigned, an independent, natural born, or naturalized, sovereign and free citizen of the United States of America, being of sound mind and body, do hereby decree, ordain and affirm that I am not a slave of the federal, state or local government, in any respect, or in any regard, and I will only be bound by the federal and state constitutions, or under my historical right of jury nullification and my interpretation of that right and I shall be bound by only such laws that I interpret to not be in violation of said constitutions, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that I hereby place government, in all forms and at all levels, on notice that I stand ready to defend my sovereign and individual, unalienable rights and American sovereignty, as did our forefathers and all those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. And further, if it becomes necessary, “I do hereby solemnly pledge to all others who will defend constitutional liberty and sovereignty, my life, my fortune and my sacred honor in this pursuit, as did the framers of our Constitution..
Signed, executed and affirmed by me this 4th day of July, 2009.
