July 4, 2013 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE from THE CORRUPT TWO-PARTY SYSTEM WHEN in the Course of political events, it becomes necessary for the voters of Texas to dissolve the political bands which have connected them to a certain political party, and to assume the power of individual thought and action which is essential to preserve their liberties, a decent respect for the opinions of the electorate requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self evident, that all voters are created equal -- although political parties are not -- with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are the right to work with the Party and vote for the candidate that will most promote their liberty and work against intrusive government. -- That to frustrate this right, the two party system was instituted, deriving its power from the Texas election code. -- That whenever this two party system becomes destructive to freedom, it is the right of the voters to alter or abolish it, and to turn to a new party founded on such principles and organized as most likely to promote their liberty and prosperity, or to above all stop straight party voting. Experience, indeed, has proven that Parties long established will not change unless faced with extinction, and that voters are more disposed to suffer the lesser of two evils, even though that has undeniably led to evil, until they realize that if any Party thinks that it has you in its hip pocket, you are going to be sat upon. The Texas People have faithfully supported with overwhelming success one party based on the dreaded “wasted vote” scare tactic, only to see their vote wasted by their elected officials working against them. The People have discovered that they have walkaway power, and that the time has come to use that walkaway power to . . . . walk away. Going to hell in a slower handbasket no longer has any appeal. When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design by the two party system to reduce the electorate to a rubber stamp of a despotic government, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off those constraints and to consider a new Party to preserve their freedoms. Such has been the patient sufferance of Texans; they have held their noses and voted for people they know will not do what they want with a vow to hold their feet to the fire, only to find that politicians prefer burnt off feet to bucking the political elites and the monied interests. The People have decided that they really do not want elected officials they must watch like a three year old boy around a book of matches. The decade long reign of King Richard and his Republican Texas legislature is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having the direct object of reducing individual and Texas sovereignty in favor of obedience to national and global powers. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. They have acquiesced in an ever-expanding police state in which our privacy is virtually nonexistent and we are constantly under government surveillance. They have failed to defend our Constitutional and natural rights to arm and defend ourselves. They have refused to protect the people of Texas from unlawful searches and bodily assault at airports and other public places. They have enacted and perpetrated ruinous property taxes so that no one ever really owns his property but merely rents it from government in ever more prohibitive terms. They have failed and refused to secure the Texas border against invasion, trespass, and violence and assist property owners in defense of their property rights. They have, against the clear will of the people, promoted a plan to steal through eminent domain a half million acres through the heart of Texas to transfer to foreign interests to build toll roads, and to toll existing paid-for roads, which the people do not want but with which no one will be allowed to compete. They have combined with others to subject us to foreign sovereigns and jurisdictions in violation of our constitutions and natural rights. They have erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance, and Gardisil our daughters. The People understand that our Liberty, Country, and Constitution are under attack like never before and will be lost if we do not act, and soon. Washington is broken – irreparably for the near term—and Austin will be, too, if we do not turn this thing around, fast. The two party system is corrupt and broken. It will never fix itself and cannot be reformed from within, though many have tried, mightily. The Powers That Be have frightened the People into submission by scaremongering about the wasted vote syndrome and the lesser-of-two-evils shibboleth. They have demanded unwavering allegiance -- warning the People of dire consequences should they not hold a veto proof majority: the sun will not rise, the Democrats will hold a statewide office, and Rutgers will defeat Texas A&M in football. In every stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned, in Tea Parties and other ways, for Redress in the most humble terms, or as humble as is fitting for a Texan to be. Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated Injury, and at election time by false promises to reform. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the Necessity, which announces our Separation, and hold them as we hold the rest of mankind, even Yankees, Enemies in War, in Peace, Friends. We, therefore, the united voters of the sovereign State of Texas, solemnly Publish and Declare that we are, and of Right ought to be, Free and Independent Voters; that that we are absolved from all allegiance to the two major parties and that all political Connection between us, is and ought to be absolved; and that as Free and Independent Voters, we have the full Power to vote for, contribute to, and work for liberty candidates in whatever party; and do all other Acts and Things which Independent Voters may of right do. And that henceforth the words “wasted vote syndrome” and “lesser of two evils” will be met with swift resistance as a provocative breach of the peace and “fighting words.” And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on our Constitutional and natural rights and rational self interest, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. Toward liberty, Kathie Glass
