Necessary for us to dissolve political bands connecting us to @madgeorge3. Need to assume separate and equal station. By laws of nature, we are impelled to separate. As of today, all 13 colonies are independent! Huzzah!

We are not pleased. Off with your little red head and tiny hands @tjeff76. Low IQ! You’ll be sorry! Sad!

It is self-evident: all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness: That’s our moral standard; what’s yours @madgeorge3?

@jadams and @bfranklin agree with me. You had us at hello but now it’s goodbye. Don’t step on us @madgeorge3!

Stick to farming. Your hands much too tiny for such big ideas. @tjeff76 is dumb as a rock. I’m smart! Sending @tgage, @redcoatburgoyne, @neversurrendercornwallis to teach you rabble a lesson. Who’s your daddy! Watch out!

Governments are instituted among men and derive their powers from the consent of the governed. What don’t you understand @madgeorge3?

Be a good boy @tjeff76 and have a cup of good English tea. You’ll feel better in the morning. Still time to come to your colonial senses. Wise up or else!

If government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. That’s you @madgeorge3. Too many abuses and usurpations! Talk about sad!

Bill of particulars @madgeorge3: standing armies without our consent; obstructed justice; obstructed laws for the naturalization of foreigners; refusing to encourage migration hither; made justices solely dependent on your will…
@madgeorge3: …combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution; altered fundamentally the forms of our government; plundered our seas and ravaged our coasts; incited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, etc, etc. Totally unworthy Head of a civilized nation!

Boo-hoo! I am king. You are not @tjeff76.

@tjeff76 .241 yrs
A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Reminding @madgeorge3 of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. You too deaf to listen? Enemies in war, friends in peace. Your choice.

Millions over here love me! No one here has ever heard of @tjeff76. Bad show! Low ratings! Not watching!

We have appealed to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions. These united colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states! Dissolving the bonds of our union. That trumps you, @madgeorge3!
