>>>> Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, and the other

>>>>WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all

>>>>That to secure these Rights, Governments are

>>>>the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form

>>>>Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is
>>>>the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,

>>>>such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such
>>>>Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect

>>>>be changed for light and transient Causes; and
>>>>accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Man-kind

>>>>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

>>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. (emphasis added)
>>>>
>>>>Now, over two hundred years after the statement of

>>>>lies, corruption, legal plunder and terror. We have
>>>>waited in despair for reforms and redress, but the
