and   Whereas, the Alaskan Independence Party has elevated the political debate and enlightened the understanding of Alaskans through its proclaiming of the timeless principles of good government handed down to us by our nation’s founders, having shown by a truly Alaskan spirit of rugged individualism, that form of liberty that is grounded in personal responsibility; and   Whereas, the Alaskan Independence Party has been a friend and ally to the Constitution Party, having assisted or provided ballot access to every Presidential candidate of the Constitution Party since our party’s inception, thereby providing Alaskans a Constitutionally valid alternative and helping to bring the message of our shared cause to the attention of all Americans; and   Whereas, many faithful supporters of the Alaskan Independence Party have sacrificed much over these twenty five years, more than history will record, from its founder Joe Vogler to its current members and officers who follow in his footsteps, laboring tirelessly to defend the rights of Alaskans;   Therefore, be it resolved, that the Constitution Party National Committee hereby congratulates the Alaskan Independence Party on the momentous occasion of its twenty fifth anniversary and declares support for their continuing efforts to restore the rights and liberties of the citizens of America’s “Last Frontier” – we wish you continued success in the next twenty five years and trust that your best days are yet to come.   Webmaster Sun, 14 Jun 2009 22:31:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:18 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/17/Resolution-Opposing-the-Confirmation-of-the-Nomination-of-Sonia-Sotomayor.aspx#Comments 0 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=129&ModuleID=504&ArticleID=17 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=17&PortalID=0&TabID=129 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/17/Resolution-Opposing-the-Confirmation-of-the-Nomination-of-Sonia-Sotomayor.aspx by Constitution Party National Committee Newark, New Jersey Whereas, on May 24, President Obama nominated 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be a supreme Court justice, citing her empathy and life experiences; and   Whereas, she denies the applicability of the individual right to bear arms protected by the 2nd Amendment to the citizens of the several states; and   Whereas, she favors statehood for Puerto Rico, which would increase the danger of America ceasing to be an exclusively English language country; and   Whereas, she supports giving voting rights to convicted murderers who are still serving time in prison; and   Whereas, she is comprehensively opposed to the death penalty for convicted first degree murderers; and   Whereas, she has been a member of the National Council of La Raza, many of the leaders of which favor amnesty for illegal aliens and the return of the southwest United States to Mexico; and   Whereas, she favors racial and ethnic quotas in education and employment; and Therefore, the Constitution Party National Committee urges the US Senate to reject confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor to be a justice of the supreme Court of these United States.   Webmaster Sun, 14 Jun 2009 22:23:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:17 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/20/Resolution-Condemning-the-Federal-Bailouts-of-Private-Industry.aspx#Comments 0 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=129&ModuleID=504&ArticleID=20 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=20&PortalID=0&TabID=129 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/20/Resolution-Condemning-the-Federal-Bailouts-of-Private-Industry.aspx by Constitution Party National Committee Newark, New Jersey Whereas, “Bailouts” have increased the federal debt that will be handed down to subsequent generations; and   Whereas the “Bailouts” violate the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause by allowing the federal government’s interference with a private contract; and   Whereas our Founders were emphatic that the public treasury should never become a public trough, and   Whereas, the Federal government is not granted the power to invest in and take over private industry; and   Whereas, industry “Bailouts” begun by Republican President George W. Bush and escalated by Democrat President Barrack Barack Obama, are unconstitutional and these presidents had no authority to fundamentally alter the relationship between the federal government and private businesses; and therefore be in it   Resolved, that the Constitution Party strongly condemns such “Bailouts” of any and all private industry as they are completely unauthorized by, and in fact are, in violation of specific sections of the Constitution of the United States and further because they constitute a cruel and unfair tax on the posterity of our nation.   Webmaster Fri, 12 Jun 2009 22:34:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:20 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/19/Resolution-Opposing-Calls-for-a-Constitution-Article-V-Convention.aspx#Comments 0 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=129&ModuleID=504&ArticleID=19 http://constitutionparty.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=19&PortalID=0&TabID=129 http://constitutionparty.com/OurPrinciples/Resolutions/tabid/129/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/19/Resolution-Opposing-Calls-for-a-Constitution-Article-V-Convention.aspx by Constitution Party National Committee Newark, New Jersey Whereas, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States have been our nation’s standard and title of liberty respectively for more than two centuries; and   Whereas, the freedom and liberty of all Americans can and will continue to be maintained by adherence to the principles contained therein; and   Whereas, thirty-two states have called for an Article V Constitutional Convention, and of those, twelve have rescinded their call, leaving twenty states with open calls for a Convention; and   Whereas, the original Constitution Convention did not limit itself to the subject for which it was called; and   Whereas, the American people have no assurance that a Constitutional Convention will safeguard the liberty and freedom that have been bequeathed to us by the Founding Fathers as a result of the Constitutional Convention of 1787; and   Whereas, a Constitutional Convention has the potential to undo the protections of our unalienable rights and limits on government defined by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights enumerated in the first 10 Amendments; Therefore be it   Resolved, the Constitution Party National Committee calls upon all Americans to defend the Constitution by opposing calls for a Constitutional Convention, and be it further   Resolved, we call upon citizens of the states which have approved and still have an open call for a Constitutional Convention to petition their state to rescind a call for a constitutional convention; and be it further   Resolved, we call upon all Americans to learn the principles contained in the Constitution and apply those principles and power, inherent in the people and reserved to States in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, to safeguard our liberties.   Webmaster Fri, 12 Jun 2009 22:33:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:19
