   Therefore, be it resolved that the Constitution Party National Committee opposes the National Popular Vote and will work in individual state legislatures to defeat it.    Be it further resolved that the National Constitution Party will work to preserve the Electoral College.   Webmaster Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:44:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:16 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/15/The-Role-of-County-Sheriffs-in-Saving-our-Constitution.aspx#Comments 0 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=129&ModuleID=504&ArticleID=15 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=15&PortalID=0&TabID=129 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/15/The-Role-of-County-Sheriffs-in-Saving-our-Constitution.aspx by Constitution Party National Committee Phoenix, AZ Whereas, the County Sheriff in the United States exercises great authority in matters of law enforcement in his individual county; and   Whereas, Sheriff Richard Mack, former Sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, in 1994, became the first sheriff in the confederation to file a lawsuit against the Brady Bill, requiring state and local law enforcement officials to perform mandatory background checks; and    Whereas, Sheriff Mack won a Supreme Court victory which ruled the provision unconstitutional; and   Whereas, Sheriff Mack, endorsing the action of Sheriff Nixon of Lincoln County, Montana, suggests that he would, in the future not file a lawsuit, but simply say “No” to the enforcement of  unconstitutional acts; and    Whereas, an excellent article entitled, “Can the County Sheriff Save Our Constitution?” concerning Sheriff Mack’s experiences and advice, appears in the October 12, 2009 issue of The New American; and   Whereas, the Constitution Party of Florida is presently preparing to forward copies of this article under a cover letter from our Party to all 67 County Sheriffs in the State of Florida, requesting that they endorse the procedure of Sheriff Mack in present and future unconstitutional mandates; and   Whereas, such action on the part of our County Sheriffs might well be effective in halting  unconstitutional programs and mandates in our country; therefore be it    Resolved, That the Constitution Party at the National Committee Meetings in Phoenix, Arizona, strongly urge all State Parties to follow the Florida example to make certain that every County Sheriff in the United States of America has access to this article with our Party’s request that they reject said mandates.   Webmaster Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:42:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:15 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/14/Protection-of-the-Industrial-Agricultural-and-Manufacturing-Base-and-Workers-of-these-United-States.aspx#Comments 0 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=129&ModuleID=504&ArticleID=14 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=14&PortalID=0&TabID=129 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/14/Protection-of-the-Industrial-Agricultural-and-Manufacturing-Base-and-Workers-of-these-United-States.aspx by Constitution Party National Committee Phoenix, Arizona ResolutionWhereas the Constitution Party declares that the so-called condition of “man-made global warming,” or “climate change,” has no definitive scientific basis or foundation, and   Whereas laws proposed to address this non-existent problem will do tremendous and irrevocable damage, both short and long term, to the industrial, agricultural, and manufacturing base of our national economy, and   Whereas such laws will irreparably harm the employment of our citizens, will do great harm to their economic status, and will economically shatter our confederation;   Therefore, be it resolved that it is the position of the Constitution Party that all laws seeking to address the so-called “man made global warming” or “climate change” issue should be opposed, and   Be it further resolved that all citizens should be mobilized in support of this effort to protect our national economy and the workers of our nation, and    Be it further resolved that the Constitution Party calls for a full, true, and open national debate regarding the realities and science of so-called “climate change.”   Webmaster Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:40:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:14 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/13/Presidential-Candidate-Ballot-Line-Position.aspx#Comments 0 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=129&ModuleID=504&ArticleID=13 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=13&PortalID=0&TabID=129 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/13/Presidential-Candidate-Ballot-Line-Position.aspx by Constitution Party National Committee Phoenix, AZ Any State party affiliated with the National Constitution Party that participates in the Party’s presidential nominating convention shall place the choice of the national convention as the presidential candidate on its State’s ballot.   Webmaster Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:39:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:13
