"Three cheers to Wanker and the other framers of this new Declaration of Independence! We Americans are sick of submitting to the small-minded and carping limitations that liberals and Europeans seek to impose on us. . . . Stand up and show your pride! Support this movement for a New U.S. Declaration of Independence!"

It has been nearly 230 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed. Much has changed in the course of these two centuries. Once a ragtag collection of rebellious colonies, America is now a Power to be reckoned with: a military and economic power unlike any the world has ever known.
In order to reflect these new political realities, as well as to celebrate the accomplishments of our current president George W. Bush, a number of prominent Americans have decided it's time to draft a new U.S. Declaration of Independence. These Americans believe our new superpower status demands new thinking.
Taking the lead from the Bush Administration's unique policy decisions, we have thoughtfully considered various new aspects of American independence. We have drafted a special document to express our thinking on what independence means in the new political order implied by President Bush's policies.
