"When in the Course of Human Events"

We all remember these decisive words from our Declaration of Independence. “When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…” The necessary act of separation came to be known in the minds of the American Patriots as the only measure that would insure their Liberty and ultimately establish their Independence. I feel that the necessary act of separation came to realization gradually by smaller measures over time until finally the common man in the American Colonies had no resemblance to the common man in Great Britain. Different culture and traditions had erupted among the colonists and they no longer embraced their identity as Englishman. They began to attach their identity with the colony they were from. Thomas Jefferson the Virginian and Benjamin Franklin the Pennsylvanian were in fact shaped by the region in which they lived as any person on this earth has undoubtedly experienced by their home town. In fact you could say that their fundamental understanding of Liberty, Independence, and Freedom in some ways derived from their hometown and attributed the desire to secure it! They understood that the opening words of the Declaration of Independence would cast the die for every Independence movement from 1776 through eternity.
The Declaration of Independence plainly states that it becomes “Necessary” for separation during the “Course of Human Events”. People can grow apart overtime and the governments representing those people can grow apart from the people in which they represent. Disenfranchisement of the people is just as evident then as it is today; the exception being that at some points in history tyranny was challenged and put in its place. After the American Revolution the rights of man were secured unto the people as the U.S. Constitution took shape. Limits of power were put into place to ensure that government would be accountable to the people and properly restrained. This provided the solution and defined what the proper use of government should be, to protect Individual Freedom and Personal Liberty. This framework of the Federal government was contingent with the understanding that sovereign states of the union would protect their citizens by the same account and insure their rights as freemen.
But what to do when sovereign states stop protecting rights of their citizens and stop restraining Federal Governmental powers all for the guaranty of Federal Government funding? Simple, the people retain the right to alter or abolish it remember? So in perhaps the most freedom conscience place left in America, tyranny’s high water mark has crested upon the region known as Jefferson. This region made up of several rural counties of Northern California and Southern Oregon has observed time and time again that they bear little resemblance to the urban citizens of California and Oregon. And due to this constant disenfranchisement of the people in this region by both state governments as well as the Federal Government, it is becoming “necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…” It is self evident to understand that a independent sovereign State of Jefferson would be better off insuring the rights of its people better than the current states of California and Oregon would ever do, for the government of my home would be home and it would look after the best interests of its people. Just as Great Britain over extended herself with war for empire, the Federal government as well as the state governments of Oregon and California have over bloated their governmental powers and are now seeing the negative effects of a government out of control. The time to challenge tyranny is at hand and it has become now “necessary” to separate ourselves from the state governments that do not represent their people and create the only viable solution, a free and Independent State of Jefferson!
