Trump has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
Trump has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructed the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
Trump has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
Trump has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

We want redress for:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
Trump has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, …
We need No Kings, No Dictators, No Oligarchs.
If you want to send this to our current Weimar Congress, I would be willing to sign it.
