I am a member of Brookings Area Indivisible. We will be recognizing No Kings Day on June 14. Here are some reasons that we declared our independence from our last king:
- He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.
- He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
- He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.
- He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.
- For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world. For imposing taxes on us without our consent.
We do not need or want a new king.
