I would like to post a statement from an article that was adopted by our congress in 1776, and modified to fit current situations.
 
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by there creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, goverments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed (when has our government done what the governed has ask to be done, without the influence of big corproations with deeps pockets full of money). That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to the ends (meaning the end of our life, liberties and happiness), it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying the foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. When a long train of abuses and usurpation, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them (the governed) under absolute despotism, it is their (the governed) right, it is their (the governed) duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new gaurds for their (the governed) future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies (states); and such is now the necessity which constrains them (the governed) to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present President of the United States, in a short history of repeated injuried and unsurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the good of the people, but instead for the better of himself and his fearfull government from the sweat and labor of the governed.
