should be required reading (along with Constitution) monthly in these times...
http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/document/
what were the grievances? just a few...
"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."
"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."
"For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:"
"For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever."
etc...
"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. 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."
