The Sovereign Individual Declaration of Independence
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a Sovereign Individual to dissolve
the political bands which have connected the Sovereign Individual to another, and to assume among the
powers of the earth, Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
Individuals requires they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
I hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Individuals are created equal, That they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Happiness. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Sovereign Individuals
deriving their just and limited powers from the consent of the Sovereign Individuals governed. That
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right and even the
Duty of the Sovereign Individuals to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying it's
foundation on such principles and organizing it's powers in such form, as to the Sovereign Individual
shall seem most likely to affect the Sovereign Individual's Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed will
dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and
accordingly all experience has shown, that Individuals are more disposed to suffer, while evils are
suffer-able, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a
long train of abuses and usurpation's, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce
the Sovereign Individual under absolute Despotism, Oligarchy, Tyranny or any other form of forced
compliance to a ruling class, it is the Right and the Duty of the Sovereign Individual to throw off such
Government and to provide new Guards for the Sovereign Individuals security. Such has been the
patient sufferance of this Sovereign Individual of These United States; and such is now the necessity
which compels this Sovereign Individual to alter this current Form of Government. The history of the
Government of These United States ( hereafter referred to as they) is a history of repeated injuries and
usurpation's, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Totalitarian and Tyrannical
rule over the Sovereign Individuals who make up These United States. To prove this, let Facts be
submitted to a candid world.
They have subverted and perverted the document that established the Form of Government chosen
by the Sovereign Individuals who founded "These United States of America", The "Constitution for
These United States", that established our Form of Government as a Representative Republic, by
deeming the written words to be interpretable and changeable by whomever the elected Governing
body is at the time. Ignoring the Fact that there is a process written into The Constitution to be followed
if changes are to be desired.
They have ignored the restrictions placed upon their powers by The Constitution by forming
Governmental Agencies that are not answerable to the Sovereign Individuals through the power of the
ballot. They have allowed these Agencies to force regulations and penalties upon the Sovereign
Individuals and a Free-Market system of economics, forcing businesses to flee this country and
creating a large unemployment problem here.
They created an Agency known as the Internal Revenue Service, that they have stated is
responsible for collecting a "voluntary" tax, known as the income tax, yet if a Sovereign Individual
does not "volunteer" to pay this tax, the Sovereign Individual is subjected to extortion methods,
penalties, jail and even the confiscation of private property. This Agency has also turned Sovereign
Individuals, who operate businesses into tax collectors, taking from the Sovereign Individuals who
trade their labor for compensation from them. Again, if the Sovereign Individuals who operate
businesses do not "voluntarily" collect this "voluntary" tax, the Sovereign Individual is subjected to
extortion methods, penalties, jail and the confiscation of private property.
They took away a sound money system when they implemented a Federal Reserve system with
the Federal Reserve Act, which has through the years turned our money into near worthless
currency. When our gold backed currency we had would still be able to be traded for the same amount
of anything today that it would have been able to be traded for the day they created the Federal Reserve
system.
They perverted the separation of powers as outlined in The Constitution by creating the War
Powers Act, which allows the sitting President to send our greatest resource, our young Individuals
into Life- Threatening situations without a declaration of war as prescribed by The Constitution. They
have taken the Defenders of These United States, the armed forces, and turned them into an offensive
force which they use at will throughout the world as they see fit, regardless of the consequences.
They have further perverted the processes stated in The Constitution by allowing Presidential
signing statements, which has allowed them to pass unconstitutional bills into law , allowing the
President to put statements on the parts of bills he finds unconstitutional, but still passing the bill as it
was lumped together, instead of it being vetoed for unconstitutional parts and sent back to congress.
They have used the regulatory and taxation agencies for their own personal profits with mandates
that businesses purchase certain items needed to comply with the regulations.
They have used licensing and regulatory agencies to turn Sovereign Individuals businesses into
pay-to-play businesses.
They have perverted the Morals and Principles of a once great nation by controlling the way that
our children and grandchildren are educated, and by rewarding bad work ethics, while at the same
time punishing good work ethics.
They have replaced Common or Natural Law with Statutory Law, Case Law and uniform codes
whose main purpose is to extort more of the Sovereign Individuals private property for the
Governments use.
In short they are taking the private property of the Sovereign Individuals, to fund the destruction
of the Sovereign Individuals Natural Rights and Liberty.
In every stage of these Oppressions the Sovereign Individuals have Petitioned for Redress in the
most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A
Government whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyranny, is unfit to be
leaders of free Sovereign Individuals.
Nor have I been wanting in attentions to my State and local governments, I have warned them
from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarranted jurisdiction over the
Sovereign Individuals. I have reminded them of The Constitutions of the State and These United
States. I have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and have called upon them by the ties
of our common kindred to disavow these usurpation's, which would inevitably lead to our enslavement.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and Liberty. I must, therefore, declare the necessity,
which denounces our Separation, and hold them as I hold the rest of humankind, Enemies in War, in
Peace Friends.
I, therefore, a Sovereign Individual of These United States of America, appealing to the Supreme
Judge of the world for the moral integrity and correctness of my intentions, do, in the Name of Liberty
and Justice, solemnly publish and declare, That this Sovereign Individual is, and of Right ought to be a
Free and Independent Individual; that I am absolved from all compliance to the Federal Government of
These United States, until the time that they return to the written word of The Constitution of These
United States, as written not interpreted, all political connection between I and the Federal
Government of These United States, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and as a Free and Sovereign
Individual; I have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and
do all other Acts and Things which Sovereign Individuals may of right do. And for the support of this
Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, I pledge my Life, my Fortune,
and my sacred Honor.
So as a Sovereign Individual or Self-Governing Individual, I am a Government of One. One of
hundreds of millions of Governments of One of These United States.
I have studied, researched, and observed the representatives elected to our Governing bodies. I
have read and understand the Constitution of The United States, from the point of view one of “ WE
THE PEOPLE “ and have come to the conclusion, that for many years now, the elected representatives
have proven, time after time, that they are not inclined to follow the guidelines of the Constitution, nor
show the self-restraint of a self-governing people. So after many years of patience, and generations
calling for a redress of grievances, it has reached the point where the Sovereign Individual must use
their power as the last check on the elected Government in order to stop the usurpation of the
Constitution of The United States, and again establish ourselves as Free and Independent Individuals, I
hereby declare my Rights and Powers as a Sovereign Individual and a Government of One.
My Body is my Governing Body, it is the equality in which we are all created. No Local, County,
State or Federal Government, nor departments thereof, may overrule my decisions of how to nourish,
clothe, shelter, protect or preserve my Body. No Local, County, State or Federal Government, nor
departments thereof, may overrule my decisions on what or who will diagnose, treat, cure or prevent
any illness, disease or injury that may afflict my Body.
My Knowledge and Wisdom however acquired are the Legislative branch of my Government.
My Morals, Principles and Conscience are the Judicial branch of my Government.
The Great Seal of my Government is my Signature, affixed by my own hand.
My Personal Property, including Real Estate or Land, or any other material goods, that I may
acquire, invent, author or discover, through fair and honorable means, are the property of my
Government of One, to be used as I see fit, so long as I cause no harm to another Sovereign Individual
by my actions. Any and all attempts by another Sovereign Individual, Local County, State or Federal
Government, or departments thereof, to confiscate, remove, destroy or restrict, my use of my property,
without just cause, shall be treated as an act of War.
Any wealth I may acquire, by any means, fairly and honorably, shall be considered the Treasury
of my Government of One, including work I may agree to perform for another Sovereign Individual,
which shall be considered contract labor, whether by verbal or written contract or by employment
application and acceptance, because all are morally binding contracts. Compensation for my labor will
be decided by myself and the other Sovereign Individual. Any interference or restriction of the fair
compensation agreed upon between the two of us involved by local, county, state or federal
Government, or department thereof, shall be considered theft and treated as an act of War.
If I choose to marry another Sovereign Individual , so far as any local, county, state, or federal
Government, or department thereof, shall acknowledge is the alliance and merging of two seperate
Governments of One. Not to be treated differently together than they were separately. If because of
this alliance we choose to have children, whether by natural birth or adoption, I reserve the Right and
the Power to raise them according to my morals and principles, nourish, clothe, shelter, discipline,
educate, preserve and protect them as I would myself.
As a Government of one, I reserve the Right to Worship the God of my choice, to gather with
others of my faith and beliefs, whenever, wherever, and however I or we prefer. Any restriction of this
Right by local, county, state or federal Government, or department there of shall be treated as a crime
against the Constitution and the first Amendment, and an act of War.
As a Sovereign Individual and a Government of One I reserve the Right and Power to arm myself
and those under my protection with whatever arms and weapons are needed for the preservation of my
personal Government in all ways necessary. To see to the proper training in the use of said arms and
any restriction of the Right by local, county, state or federal Government, or department thereof shall
be treated as a crime against the Constitution and the Second Amendment and an act of War.
There may be no hope for preserving a governing system, as set forth by the Constitution of The
United States without abolishing what elected representatives have turned it into, but I as a Sovereign
Individual believe it possible.
To restore the Constitutional Representative Republic as ratified in the year 1789 along with the
first ten Amendments, known as the “Bill of Rights” ratified in 1791, I, a Sovereign Individual and a
Government of One do propose the following steps to achieve the restoration.
Since the elected representatives show no desire to honor their oath's to “ preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution of The United States”. I along with the millions of other Sovereign Individuals
Must reclaim our Rights as Governments of One, and research and annul all unconstitutional acts, laws,
agencies, departments, etc, instituted by Governments past and present including federal, State, County
and Local Government.
Until such a time as this research and review can be done, by committees selected by the
Sovereign Individuals, all laws, regulations, agencies, departments etc. of Federal, State, County and
Local Governments, not dealing directly with the defense and preservation of the Sovereignty of the
Individual and the Right of Self- Government , shall be declared dissolved and inoperative. All monies
that have been appropriated for the operations and enforcement of said laws, regulations, agencies,
departments, etc. shall go directly toward paying off the debt accumulated by the Federal, State,
County, and Local Governments, and until the time that all these debts reach a zero balance all
compensation of elected representatives, at all levels of Government, shall be suspended along with all
benefits, such as medical and retirement. All staff of said representatives shall be declared unnecessary
and all monies and benefits, promised them by said representatives, shall go directly toward paying the
debt.
Until the time that the review of laws and regulations shall be completed all statutory law, codes,
case law implemented by said representatives, past and present, shall be declared irrelevant in deciding
criminal cases. Law shall revert to Natural Law, Common Law or Public Law and be equal toward all
Sovereign Individuals including those elected as representatives, or all elected officials at all levels of
Government.
All presidential decrees and / or proclamations ( past and present) shall be declared as having no
force, until such a Constitutional Review may be accomplished upon them.
All declared States of Emergency, declared by Presidents, Congresses, at all levels of Government are
declared no longer in force, with the exception of Local and State declarations where Sovereign
Individuals, within their area of representation, have their Life, Liberty, and personal property in
jeopardy by the forces of nature, or foreign or domestic invasion.
All direct theft of personal treasuries of Sovereign Individuals shall cease immediately, all monies
in the treasuries of the Local, county, State and Federal representative Governments shall be a
consumer based tax and once collected on each consumer item may not be collected on that item again.
All laws, regulations , agencies, departments, decrees and proclamations found to be
unconstitutional shall be brought into a court as a true crime against We the Sovereign Individuals, and
shall be prosecutable against any representative, alive or deceased, responsible for the presentation of
said law, regulation, agency, department, decree or proclamation up to and including treason to the
Constitution of The United States. This prosecution shall include all representatives who are found to
have supported same law, regulation, agency, department, decree or proclamation by their vote of yea.
If found guilty their punishment will be decided by the jurors delivering the verdict and may include
penalties, fines, seizure of gains ( including personal property ) acquired as a direct result of said law,
regulation, etc, and even incarceration. All penalties, fines, and seizures will go into the Treasury of the
Local, County, State, or Federal Government where the Constitutional infraction occurred and shall be
used to pay existing debt at that level of representation, if zero debt is found at that level it shall be
deemed surplus and used for the operation of representation at that level, as allowed by the Sovereign
Individuals within that district or area.
All penal systems, Local, County, State or Federal shall immediately adopt a rehabilitation style
structure, based on living as a Sovereign Individual, where anything needed or wanted shall be
acquired by the fruits of their own labor, not through the theft of Free Sovereign Individuals personal
Treasuries.
All entitlement programs shall cease at the State and Federal levels and be renamed helping
programs, relying on the Sovereign Individuals in the local areas generosity and willingness to aide the
Sovereign Individuals they encounter in their day to day lives.
All foreign aide promised by the representatives of the Sovereign Individuals shall cease and
monies shall be used to pay the outstanding debt that has been placed upon us by these representatives.
Any future foreign aide will be at the discretion of the Sovereign Individuals, on an individual basis.
