"Aha Members would allow us to read a declaration - they said [no]"

She's absolutely right.  They wrote some pointless declaration of independence that has no real-world effect on anyone or anything so we all asked ourselves what would be the point of that?  I mean, I could have my 7 year old son come up and give a presentation on what he drew with his crayons, but what would be the point of that?  Who cares about his drawing?  What practical effect does it have on anyone's life?  Do we really have time to be wasting like that?  Can't I do that on my own time?

If you can't identify for us any practical effect your "declaration" would have on anyone then I still see no reason to allow you to waste everyone's time by reading it.  You likely would have been shouted down and booed off stage anyway.

"I am for Self-Determination "

No you're not, you're for self-riighteousness.  There is a huge difference.  One requires practical considerations, the other does not.
