A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
supporting the United States Congress to ensure passage the American Sovereignty Restoration Act.
(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Whereas, the United States of America became an independent, sovereign nation for the reasons expressed in the Declaration of Independence and as the result of a bloody war to achieve its independence; and
Whereas, the Constitution of the United States of America is, and rightfully must remain, the Supreme Law of the Land; and
Whereas, the Constitution of the United States of America provides for limited, nondelegable and diffused powers of governments that are separated among the Congress, the President and the judiciary and that preserve the powers and duties of the individual states and the people; and
Whereas, the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees personal liberties of each individual citizen; and
Whereas, the Charter of the United Nations purports to supersede the independence and sovereignty of the United States and the Constitution of the United States of America and to usurp powers delegated in the Constitution by:
1. Concentrating in the United Nations Security Council control and use of certain American military personnel and the military personnel of all member nations for its own purposes without any accountability and in violation of the exclusive power of the United States Congress to declare war.
2. Seeking authority to tax citizens of the United States and other member nations directly to support United Nation activities.
3. Sponsoring and extending to all nations, whether signatories or not, an International Criminal Court that violates the rights of the accused as well as the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights; and
Whereas, the oil-for-food effort in Iraq has been a global scandal that enriched Saddam Hussein and his inner circle, leaving the Iraqi people further deprived, and further enabled him to acquire arms and munitions that were used against United States forces, all occurring under the supervision of the United Nations; and
Whereas, a United States representative has introduced a bill in Congress known as the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2009. This important legislation, H.R. 1146, would end the membership of the United States in the United Nations; and
Whereas, the only benefit to the United States of America of belonging to the United Nations is our country's veto authority on the Security Council to protect our allies, such as the Nation of Israel; and
Whereas, H.R. 1146 would repeal the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, the United Nations Headquarters Agreement Act and various other related laws. The bill would prevent the authorization of monies for United Nations military operations and would terminate the participation of the United States in United Nations peacekeeping operations; and
Whereas, the Constitution and bylaws of the United Nations frequently conflict with the Constitution and laws of the United States. Over the years, past presidents have unconstitutionally transferred their authority to the United Nations commanders without the consent of Congress.
Therefore
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring:
1. That, at such time that the United States of America ceases to use its veto authority in the United Nations Security Council to protect allies such as Israel, the Members of the Legislature support the Congress of the United States in taking immediate steps to ensure the passage of the American Sovereignty Restoration Act, or similar legislation, and in taking any other measures necessary to dissolve the membership of the United States in the United Nations.
2. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit copies of this Resolution to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona.
