I would go more like this, personally:

The Declaration of the Citizen-Patriots of the Fifty United States of America
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, 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 separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, 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, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security — Such has been the patient sufferance of these States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to Strongly Consider altering their Systems of Government. — The history of the current Presidential Administration is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
It has Willfully created and practiced Executive Policy in direct Defiance of the Constitution of the United States of America, and with utter Disdain of the Co-Equal branches of the Legislative and Judicial. We cite:
The NSA wiretapping program that was ordered without the Assent of the Congress by Major Votes, and without compliance to the FISA Court oversight established for precisely such eventualities.
The Establishment of Powers of Dictatorship in the "Continuity of Government", claimed unilaterally in Presidential National Security Directive #51, which would place Exclusive Power of ordering Government under the Authority of the Executive branch.
The Violations of International Treaties in the form of Kidnappings and Torturous Acts under Illegal Executive Authorization, committed upon the Sovereign Territories of our Allies, as well as upon the United States of America-held territory of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The Willful Defiance of the Constitution, under the Military Commisions Act and PATRIOT Act, to remove that Most Fundamental Protection of Law known as Habeas Corpus... which the previous Assembly of your respective Houses was party to.
The Illegal Manipulations of Individuals holding the Office of U.S. Attorneys for Political Gain, above Integrity to their Oath of Office.
We the Citizen-Patriots of the Fifty United States of America further submit a direct Comparison, in order, to those Abuses and Usurpations endured by our Founding Fathers who created our Constitution:
For suspending our own Legislature, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
In every stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A President, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
We, therefore, the Citizen-Patriots of the United States of America, to the General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these States, solemnly publish and declare, That these United States are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the Bush Administration, and that all political connection between them, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
I know I'm not THAT good an author...
