Clothesline : The Declaration of Consent Revocation Posted on March 25, 2013 by Joseph Demetrio A Declaration, by We The Free Men and Women of the States united When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for a Free people to revoke the consent of governance which they have graciously bestowed upon a group of individuals, 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 revocation.

It is beyond debate that among these rights are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Free men and Free women, deriving their powers from the Consent of the governed.
