Declaration of the Free States of the American Republic

Version 1.0 — 12 March 2026

Preamble

The Republic of the United States is betrayed. The States of the old Slave Confederacy, joined now by other States devoted to domination and minority rule, have risen again—united under a cruel tyrant—to seize the powers of the federal government entrusted to them. Where the Slave States once divided our Republic in order to expand human bondage into the western territories, they now capture the institutions of the Republic to enthrone a tyrant and impose dictatorship upon us all. Out of a decent respect for the judgment of history, the Free States of the Union therefore declare the causes which compel us to name this tyranny and to resist it until the Republic is restored.

The commonwealth of the Republic has been plundered; the revenues of the people diverted from their lawful purposes; and institutions established to secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are systematically subverted to serve tyranny. The rule of law has been reduced to pretense. Justice is no longer blind, but obedient. The armed forces of the United States have been turned from defense to coercion—an instrument of violence at home, of piracy upon the high seas, and of illegal war abroad. Masked federal agents seize, abduct, and kill citizens with impunity. What once restrained power now merely adorns it. The institutions built by our forefathers now stand debased by cruelty, corruption, incompetence, and vanity.

The design of this tyranny is the destruction of democratic civilization on this continent, the extinction of self-government, and the reduction of the Free States to subjugation, dependency, or annihilation.

Bill of Grievances — Indictment

The history of the present Tyrant of the Slave States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of absolute despotism over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armed forces without the consent of the legislatures.

He has turned the powers of the executive against the legislative branch. He has refused assent to duly enacted laws. He has obstructed their execution. He has seized the revenues of the Republic for criminal purposes.

He has reduced the legislative powers of the Republic to impotence, binding them not to the people, but to his command.

He has corrupted the Supreme Court, which now serves the Tyrant openly—declaring him immune from criminal accountability, empowering him to seize the appropriations of the Republic, to dismantle its agencies, to deploy the military against the people, and to enrich himself, his family, and his servants.

He has abdicated the proper functions of government, declaring vast portions of the people outside his protection while extending favor and immunity to those who serve his ambition.

He has corrupted the civil service, expelling the competent and the ethical and replacing them with the servile and the cruel.

He has corrupted public information, flooding the nation with falsehood and dismantling institutions of record and expertise.

He has established systems of surveillance and reprisal, monitoring lawful speech, intimidating journalists and whistleblowers, and suppressing inquiry until truth itself is treated as an enemy of the state.

He has dispatched masked and unaccountable agents into our cities to commit murder, kidnapping, extortion, and harassment, establishing terror as a method of governance.

He has obstructed the administration of justice. He shields himself and his adherents from accountability for sex trafficking, murder, kidnapping, bribery, extortion, and other grave crimes. He turns the instruments of justice into weapons against his enemies and shields for his own wrongdoing.

He has established places of confinement beyond the reach of law, where persons are detained indefinitely without charge or trial and subjected to cruel and arbitrary punishment, feeding a machinery of profit, intimidation, and silence.

He has turned the armed forces of the nation inward, employing them against citizens and accustoming the people to soldiers as enforcers of obedience rather than defenders of the Republic.

He has subverted free commerce, coercing private enterprise through threats and favoritism, demanding tribute as the price of lawful operation, undermining contracts, and destabilizing the financial systems upon which prosperity depends.

He has destroyed the public health infrastructure, allowing preventable disease to spread unchecked, discarding medical expertise, and condemning countless citizens—present and unborn—to unnecessary suffering and death.

He has endeavored to extinguish the advancement of knowledge, attacking universities, suppressing research, defunding science, and elevating superstition over reason.

He has debased public property, converting monuments, offices, and lands held in trust for the people into instruments of personal glorification.

He has violated the faith of treaties, abandoned democratic allies, threatened friendly nations, and shown servility to foreign despots.

He has violated the laws of nations, engaging in piracy, kidnapping, and extrajudicial killing abroad.

He has usurped the power of Congress to declare war, attacking sovereign nations without provocation and implicating the Republic in war crimes and crimes against humanity.

He has robbed not only the present generation but the future, dismantling institutions that required centuries to build and leaving to our children a nation diminished in liberty, security, and hope.

Resolving Declaration

We, the People of the Free States, assembled in the name of democratic government and accountable to history, do solemnly affirm that we remain bound by our oaths to the Constitution of the United States; that we honor the sacrifices of those who founded this Republic and of those who, in every generation since, have labored and fought to preserve it; and that we accept the duty imposed upon us by their example.

We declare that the Republic was not established to serve factions, tyrants, or states of bondage, but to secure liberty, justice, and self-government to the People. That trust has been violated. It must now be redeemed.

We affirm our unshakable resolve to restore the Republic to its rightful owners: the People themselves. We reject the claim that a minority, sustained by fear, exclusion, and economic misrule, may govern a free and productive nation against its will. No tyranny can long prevail over a people who outnumber it, who outproduce it, and who remain committed to law, reason, and mutual obligation.

The Free States will resist all attacks upon their people and all unlawful seizure of their resources by every constitutional authority available to them. We will defend civil life, representative government, and the public trust placed in our care. We will neither submit to extortion nor normalize illegality.

We further declare that crimes committed under color of authority are not absolved by obedience, nor erased by time. Every unlawful order, every act of bribery, extortion, theft, violence, or corruption shall be investigated and prosecuted according to law. Restitution shall be sought for every public resource misappropriated, and accountability restored where it has been deliberately dismantled.

We affirm that no branch of government stands above restraint. The Supreme Court shall be reformed so that it may never again serve as an instrument of minority rule or executive domination, but shall return to its proper role as a guardian of constitutional limits. The Executive Branch shall again be subject to criminal accountability, as the Constitution requires.

We resolve to preserve the full and truthful record of this dark period, so that it may neither be denied nor repeated. Memory is the safeguard of liberty. History shall be taught without erasure or distortion, that future generations may recognize the signs of corruption and resist the seductions of authoritarian power.

We commit ourselves to the rebuilding of the institutions of justice, science, health, and education that were deliberately weakened or destroyed. We will restore the conditions of inquiry, competence, and integrity upon which prosperity and human advancement depend. The Republic shall again lead in technology, medicine, finance, and knowledge—not by domination, but by example.

We further declare our intention to restore the United States to its rightful place among nations: a leader in peace, in human rights, in lawful trade, and in democratic cooperation. Treaties shall be honored, alliances renewed, and the rule of law reclaimed as the foundation of international order.

The defeat of authoritarianism at home shall stand beside the defeat of monarchy, the abolition of slavery, and the defeat of fascism abroad, as a defining achievement of the world’s first modern democracy.

For the support of this Declaration, with firm reliance on constitutional principle, historical truth, and the collective resolve of a Free People, we pledge our efforts and our vigilance to the restoration of the Republic. With gratitude to those who came before us and devotion to those who will come after, we accept this duty and the burden it places upon us.

The Republic our forebears built and entrusted to our care shall not perish from the earth in our time.
