American Petition in Support of the Declaration of Military Accountability

“The love of liberty is interwoven in the soul of man and can never be totally extinguished. There are certain periods when human patience can no longer endure indignity and oppression.

The spark of liberty then kindles into a flame.” 

-Samuel Adams

          On 1 January 2024, a group of 231 service members and veterans ignited a new spark of liberty through a Declaration of Military Accountability. In this declaration, the signers pledged to hold military leadership accountable for their violations of the law and constitutional rights over the last several years. 

          This petition intends to kindle that spark of liberty into massive flame. To that end we hereby pledge our support for the Declaration of Military Accountability and intend to expand this pledge to include holding accountable all those in governmental authority who have abused their positions in unlawful and corrupt ways.

          We The People are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As the Declaration of Independence notes, “Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.”

          We no longer consent to be governed by those who use their positions to enrich themselves and who pursue un-American agendas at the expense of the governed. It is our birthright therefore, as Americans, to demand and enact the changes we require in the government of our nation. 

          In the spirit of our founding fathers and following the example set by the Declaration of Military Accountability, the signers of this petition pledge to hold our leaders accountable and remove those in each of the three branches of government who have broken our laws, trampled our rights, and denied our ability to live in freedom.
