“Mr. Speaker, Thomas Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence, wrote ‘when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another… they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.'
“I represent a people, the Underserved, whose race, religion, gender, orientation, and other characteristics cause them to be ground underfoot by their government.
“But their government no more. They have seceded. Do not block this action, do not arrest this activity. This declaration is our gain and your loss.
“We shall coexist, but not relent.”
