Greivances and the Declaration of Independance

Listed below are some of the grievances our Founding Fathers had with the government of England, do any of these sound familiar to you?


He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.


For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

Any of these sound familiar?

This should open the eyes of the American people that we are becoming, and have become a socialist state.

Wake up, people, WAKE UP!

This is what happened in Russia!

Freedom and liberty is slipping through our fingers!
