The Unanimous Declaration of Semi-Independence:
Of the Constitutional Republic of Graceazona to the United States of America and the Great State of Arizona :
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation as a Semi-Independent Micro-Nation yet still living under all Constitutional Laws and Regulations required by the true Constitutional Republic of the United States of America that our founding fathers gave us. Equally, the Constitutional Republic of Graceazona will comply with the Constitution, Laws, and regulations of the Great State of Arizona and earnestly seek sovereign protection and respect for the sovereignty of the meager territory and properties of the Constitutional Republic of Graceazona; for which, we agree to continue to pay all of our Arizona taxes and act as law abiding citizens of the State of Arizona. We also will pay all legally required taxes to the government of the United States of America and to the State of Arizona . We the people of the Constitutional Republic of Graceazona respect the “Rule of Law” and only desire to live in peace and harmony with all peoples and nations. Since we will continue as law abiding citizens of the United States of America and the Great State of Arizona, we are simply asking that our individual liberties and independence be respected within the confines of our small Micro-National Territory .
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal (not collectively, but individually), 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 men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these two citizens; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the President’s of the United States of America (since Woodrow Wilson) is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these two citizens. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world:
1. These Presidents have refused their assent to Constitutional Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. These Presidents have forbidden the governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till their assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, they have utterly neglected to attend to them (e.g. the lack of Border Security, which places our life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in grave peril).
3. These Presidents have refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only (i.e. Health Care Reform, restrictions to free enterprise, and Economic Stimulus pork bills all against the will of the majority).
4. These Presidents have called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with their measures.
5. These Presidents have dissolved and divested representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness their invasions on the rights of the people. This has been accomplished by empowering un-elected “czars” and subverting, thus usurping the powers of the Legislative Branch of the United States of America .
6. These Presidents have refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. We are not secure from enemies foreign and domestic and our borders are porous and can easily be penetrated by terrorists, narco-traffickers, and numerous International Criminal Organizations and other elements.
7. These Presidents have endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands by terrorists, foreign criminal organizations, and narco-traffickers (e.g. Unsafe corridors within the borders of the United States and Arizona, which now are controlled by foreign enemies and gravely dangerous to United States citizens).
8. These Presidents have obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing their assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. They have chosen not to prosecute domestic terrorists, such as the New Black Panthers and illegal alien sanctuary cities. Instead, they are prosecuting the State of Arizona for desiring to assist the Federal government by protecting United States citizens from foreign criminal and terrorist invaders.
9. These Presidents have made judges dependent on their will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries and tyrants within the Legislature have been duplicitous against the will of the citizens of the United States of America .
10. These Presidents have erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. They have grown government agencies and granted them powers that are clearly in violation of the Constitution of the United States of America and caused our citizens unsustainable debt.
11. These Presidents have and are imposing taxes on us without our consent.
12. These Presidents have been taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments and changing our Constitutional Republic into an “Elitist Socialist Progressive Statist Oligarchy”.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
We, therefore, the representatives of the Constitutional Republic of Graceazona, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of this semi-independent micro-nation, solemnly publish and declare, that these united peoples are, and of right ought to be free and a semi-independent state. We are absolved from some allegiance to the current government of the United States of America, and that some emotional, attitudinal, spiritual, and certain political connection between us and the current government of the United States of America, is and ought to be partially revised in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America; and that as a free and semi-independent state, we have full power to conclude peace, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which other semi-independent states and independent states may of right do. We humbly ask that the Great State of Arizona to protect and defend our right to exist as the semi-independent micro-nation of the Constitutional Republic of Graceazona. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
The Bottom-Line: We can enhance the revenues and treasuries of, and to, the United States of America and the Great State of Arizona by being recognized as the sovereign micro-nation semi-independent Constitutional Republic of Graceazona. We will continue to pay all taxes and abide by all Federal and State Laws as citizens of the United States of America and the State of Arizona . We merely desire to creatively pursue free enterprise under the sovereign authority of the Constitutional Republic of Graceazona, by printing, marketing and selling collector limited edition postage stamps, providing citizenship with passports, and the like to kind peace loving souls of good humor. We do not wish to take any State’s or Nation’s physical territory. We just desire that our address: (8638 E. Placita Pueblo Bonito, Tucson , Arizona 85710-2676 ) be officially recognized as the Constitutional Republic of Graceazona. This is only an act of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Additionally, please don’t forget we want our borders secured from foreign terrorists, criminals, and other foreign elements who wish us harm. We need the US Border Patrol on the borders, not in the Base Exchange at Davis-Monthan AFB. We need to treat these narco-traffickers as enemy combatants. They virtually control Mexico and they will soon control our government as well. If this is not a war on our country, I sure do not know what could be classified as one. You are well aware that the illegal narcotics business earns more untaxed and uncontrolled revenues than earned legitimately by the world’s automobile industry! These narco-traffickers are able to bribe federal employees, small businesses, and large corporations in order to move their products into our country. They are also able to move their illegal revenues, contraband, and arms/weapons back across our borders by using these very same compromised assets and agents. Worst of all, “cut-outs” are being funneled to some politician’s political coffers through these very same small businesses and large corporations who have been cooperating with these International Criminal Organizations. Restore integrity! Restore integrity now.
