Cynthia McKinney's Declaration of Independence

In front of the Pentagon on March 17, 2007, Cynthia McKinney addressed a crowd of peace activists and delivered the following declaration of independence:

"As an American of conscience, I hereby declare my independence from every bomb dropped, every threat leveled, every civil liberties rollback, every child killed, every veteran maimed, every man tortured.

And I sadly declare my independence from the leaders who let it happen."
