HERRICKREPORT-CONSERVATIVE NEWS AND VIEWS
A NEW DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the people to dissolve the judicial
bands which have connected them one to another and to assume among themselves an equal station to the
elements in society and who have set themselves apart from the law and against the Laws of God and the
Laws of Nature; a decent respect requires that weshould declare the course that impels us to this
separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all people are created equal and are endowed by the
Creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of
Happiness. That to secure these rights Governments are instituted amongst men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed. That when ever any form of government and their laws become
destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish the rule of law and to
seek protection from the law and the lawless and to reconstitute the law laying it's foundation in
such principles, and organizing it's powers in such form, aswe shall see most likely to effect our
safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that the laws long established should not be changed for light and
transient causes, and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind is more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, then to right themselves by abolishing the form to which they are
accustomed. But when a long train of abuses both by andagainst the rule of law, pursuing invariably
the same object evinces a design to reduce us under absolute rule by the lawless and the unlawful. It
is our right, it is our duty, to throw off that law and to provide new guards for our
futurecollective security.
Such as been the patient sufferance of these United States and now the necessity which constrains us
to alter ourpresent system and reform the law and it's protectors.We let the facts of the tyranny be
seen by the entire world.
The present system refuses to act upon laws both wholesomeand necessary for the public good. The
vague and weak institutions of our law has excited domestic insurrections amongst us. It has endeavored
to bring on the inhabitants of our cities and in our country side thegangs, drug lords, highway
murderers, computer thieves, kidnappers, child molesters, rapists and petty and grand larcenists whose
known rule of warfare is an indistinguishable destruction of all ages, sexes, andconditions.
In every stage of the oppression we have petitioned for redress in the most humblest terms. Our
respected pleas have been answered only by repeated tyranny. A law, which ischaracterized by the
repeated injury is not a just law; but a law unfit to guide a free people. We have warned thelaw
makers, we the people, the law givers, from time to time of the attempts by our own legislature to
extend an unwarranted jurisdiction of laws unjustly balanced to the lawless against the lawful. We have
appealed to our native justice, we have conjured them by ties of our common kindred to disavow the
lawless and the law that protects them frompeople it was established to protect.
We must therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation from the law, and hold
it has we hold the rest of mankind...Enemies in Injustice, and inPeace, Justice and
Tranquility...friends. We the People of the United States appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
World for the restitute of our intentions, do in His Name and by the authority of Free People.. ..Free,
Lawful and Law Abiding Citizens, solemnly publish and declare that we are free and independent of the
Law that was established over us and which now punishes free people.
That we are absolved from all allegiance to a law that protects the unjust and those that seek to do
us harm. It is our right to seek His Divine Protection under His law and to reconstitute our new law in
His mercy and to protect us from powers that have brought us to this end.
To this we entrust our security and our right of self protection to ourselves and to each other
gathering together a such times and places to protect each citizen from the tyranny of others. And at
such time to reconstitute the law to our own protection and the preservation of society from it's
enemies.
To this end we pledge our lifes, our fortunes and our sacredhonor.
