An American's Declaration of Independence
What We Want From Our Government

We want the government to stay out of our private lives. We are Americans. Our ancestors fought and died for our freedom. Our minds and our bodies are our own.

We insist upon equality of rights, wages, and educational opportunties, and believe reliable, affordable healthcare should be made available to all American citizens.

We require a government which teaches, practices, supports and defends tolerance and respect amongst and towards its citizens, regardless of their age, race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.

We demand that our elected government fulfill its responsibility to faithfully patrol, secure, and defend our borders, protecting the physical welfare and financial stability of America's citizens.

We remind the government that American armed forces are comprised of our parents and our children, our brothers and our sisters, our aunts, our uncles, and our grandparents; individual people who have sworn to protect and defend this nation. They don their uniforms trusting that their lives will not be interupted nor sacrificed to achieve political, theological or financial gain for the benefit of a select few. Our government must never betray this trust, and We The People of the United States of America will hold our elected officials fully accountable for their decisions.

We demand fiscal responsibility and accountability from our government.

We insist upon a government which remembers and respects America's requirement for separation of church and state, one which comprehends that in America, an elected official's personal religious beliefs may not be legislated upon its citizens.

We ask our elected officials to recall that they are formally charged with ensuring the equal well-being of ALL of the citizens of this great nation, and reiterate that they have not been granted permission to favor any segment of the population at the expense of or to the detriment of the remainder of its citizens.

We solemnly reaffirm the right of free speech for ALL Americans, without fear of reprisal.
