The Constitutional Alliance is providing a short summary of the three pieces of legislation/resolutions we are in the process of sending to each state legislature. We will be and are working with private citizens, state legislators, ministries, and state groups to make sure each state legislature takes up what the Constitutional Alliance has proposed. We have XXXX'ed out the name of the State we first wrote the legislation/resolutions for. If you, or a group you belong to in your State/Commonwealth supports what the Constitutional Alliance is doing, we encourage you now to sign up for our newsletter and email updates that will begin by the start of March. Please keep in mind it is our intention to leave FaceBook in March, 2021. There is much work to get done as we work with state legislators and attorneys.
If you have questions you can contact Steve Meyer, the Executive Director of the Constitutional Alliance or Mark Lerner, our Co-Founder and Spokesperson at Contact Us Here.
Following are three pieces of legislation/concurrent resolutions- Legislative attorneys in each State or Commonwealth can adapt the legislation/concurrent resolutions to the specific State or Commonwealth in question. In States/Commonwealths where the legislative deadline has passed for introducing legislation, legislators will know of ways to have the legislation introduced as an Amendment, substitute language, and so forth. Concurrent Resolutions are rarely subject to legislative deadlines.
1) XXXXXXXX FRT (Facial Recognition Technology). This legislation bans the use of FRT with specific exemptions, otherwise a court ordered/approved warrant must be obtained before FRT can be used. The need for the legislation is biometrics have been, and is the linchpin of a surveillance state. Citizens have a right to religious freedom, free speech, peacefully assemble, and seek redress of their grievances without fear, or being intimidated by government and/or law enforcement. There are people of faith that object to being photographed, thus enrolling these people into a system that depends on being photographed is a violation of their religious freedom.
2) XXXXXXX Concurrent Resolution to request the XXXXXXX congressional delegation to support funding NAPHSIS (National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems). The federal government spend trillions a year, yet despite the 9/11 Commission stating that we must know a person is who they say they are, the States and federal government have failed at this obligation. Departments of Motor Vehicles cannot say a person is who they say they are when issuing drivers' licenses because as required by federal law, Public Law 109-13, Section 202, States/Commonwealths are not verifying the authenticity, and/or ownership of birth certificates to acquire drivers' licenses. States/Commonwealths cannot say they know people are in fact U.S. citizens, or that the birth certificates of deceased people are not being used to acquire a drivers' license. As a result of drivers' licenses or valid state issued identification cards in most cases being used to register to vote, and/or to vote, the people responsible for ensuring only qualified voters can vote are not able to fulfill their responsibilities. The cost of funding NAPHSIS is only $50 million. The $50 million is a very small price to pay so government can make sure people are who they say they are, do not have more than one drivers' license at a time, in any state or states, and are U.S. citizens.
3) XXXXXXX Concurrent Resolution to support the 2nd Amendment. The Executive branch, including the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security is put on notice that should the Official Purposes of Title II of the Real ID Act 2005 be used to require a Real ID compliant drivers' license to purchase a firearm and/or ammunition, XXXXXXXX will withdraw from compliance and participation in the Real ID Act 2005. The Fourth Official Purpose of the Real ID Act 2005 allows for the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to add the purchasing of a firearm, and/or ammunition to the list of Official Purposes of the Real ID Act 2005.
We have been asked why use Concurrent Resolutions instead of EO's (Executive Orders)? The Constitutional Alliance does not support the use of Executive Orders in lieu of legislation. For too many years/decades both the Republicans and Democrats have used EO's to circumvent the legislative process. Also, by having many States/Commonwealths pass the Concurrent Resolutions it sends a strong message to the federal government that States/Commonwealths are not surrogates of the federal government. States/Commonwealths must be the buffer between an overreaching federal government and the people.
We have also been asked why support the 2nd Amendment specifically? The Real ID Act 2005 allows for the Secretary of the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) at his or her discretion to add to the Official Purposes of the Real ID Act 2005. Congress should have never abrogated its Constitutional responsibility to pass laws to the Executive Branch, much less a single individual, the Secretary of DHS. We use the 2nd Amendment because it receives more attention than many other Amendments.
