Declaration of Independence, Republic of Johnsonia

 When in the course of human events it becomes obvious that the nation one inhabits has failed to address and respect the well-being of its citizenry, it becomes necessary to declare independence from the same. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all human beings are created equal and that they deserve to be considered so throughout their lives. That the planet, being the only place these people are able to live, should be revered and protected. And that leaders should concern themselves solely with the prosperity of their citizens and the preservation of the planet.

The current governing bodies of the United States of America, including its president, are deficient in all these respects. Therefore, we the citizens of *** ******* Ave., Haterfield, NJ, do hereby declare independence from the United States of America.

We do this because our wishes as citizens of the United States of America have been belittled and overlooked for too long, and we see that this state of affairs will get far worse in the years to come.

Therefore, this Declaration of Independence will go into effect on 1st October 2020. We pick this date because it's easy to remember.

Our nation will be called the Independent Republic of Johnsonia. May it never perish until its founders do, and after that we don't particularly care.

Are you President and Mr J is Vice-President? I know what your Official Bird is!

Very tempting for us all to do that, going off grid of this Messy National situation and each Citizen just choosing to do the right thing and ignoring these Fools in Power would probably work out better. Like Debra above I think I know what your Official Bird is too.

Yes! Time to secede from the travesty of the so-called 'United' States! I'll be over here on the West Coast freeing Cascadia.

I like your Declaration, President Johnson.
