General Lance Miller of the Democratic Unification Party made a suprise call to arms for the military of the Commonwealth of Erectobia. General Miller was quoted as stating the following:
"It is time for a change, our President is no worse than Saddam Husein himself. We need democracy and we need it now!"

General Lance Miller released the following constitution:

-------------------------------------

That is only a brief portion of the "new" constitution that General Miller wants to adopt, the other 75 percent of it just includes ways on how national funds are handled, amendments, and so fourth. This reporter will be happy to support the General as with his move toward Civil War, I finally am able to voice free speech.

OOC: This is an actual decleration of independence in a way from my country, dictatorship will no longer be the way of our land as we are slowly progressing toward Democracy.
