The Declaration of Independence, established…
“…Governments (derive) their just powers from the consent of the governed…”
“… (administration has) a history of repeated abuses and usurpations…”
He has…
“…refused his Assent to Laws...”
“…(denied) his Governors…”
“…refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people…”
“…called together legislative bodies … (distanced from our) Public Records…”
“…(bypassed) Representative Houses…”
“…exposed (us) to all the dangers of invasion …and convulsions within.”
“…obstruct(ed) the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners…”
“…obstructed the Administration of Justice…”
“…made Judges dependent on his Will…”
“…erected …New Offices, and … Officers to harass our People...”
“…kept among us…Standing Armies without the Consent ....”
“…(rendered) the Military independent of …the Civil Power.”
“…(given) his Assent to… Acts of pretended Legislation:”
“…quarter(ed) large bodies of armed troops among us:”
“…protect(ed) them, by mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit…”
“…(cut) off our Trade with all parts of the world:”
“…(imposed) Taxes (Tariffs) on us without our Consent:”
“…(deprived) us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:”

“…(ignored) our most valuable Laws… altering… the Forms of our Governments:”
“…(obstructed) our own Legislatures...”
“…abdicated Government…. waging War against us.”
“…destroyed the Lives of our people.”
“…(transported) large Armies of … to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny...”
“…constrained our fellow Citizens…”
“…excited domestic insurrections amongst us”
And…
“…Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury…thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant…”
If this isn’t clearly defined as a clear and present danger to our country and our freedom, I don’t know what is.
You must act before we cease to be the United States of America.
