Citizen's Petition To State Legislators

Under the authority reserved to State Legislatures in Article V of the United States Constitution, I am directing the State Legislature to complete an “Application” to the United States Congress directing Congress to convene the “Countermand Amendment Convention”.

1. When 34 State Legislatures complete a similar “Application”, Congress is obligated to convene the called for Convention. This Citizen petition also directs the State Legislature to approve the Delegate Resolution for the “Countermand Amendment Convention”.

2. The Delegate Resolution defines the duties and obligations of the delegates the Legislature sends to the Convention. The delegates are Ambassadors representing their State Legislature at the Convention. They are not free Agents. The Delegate Resolution incorporates the text for the proposed Amendment. Encroachment by the Federal Government has been prohibiting the States from exercising States Rights under the Tenth Amendment. The “Countermand Amendment” will restore State Legislative Sovereignty by:

1. Restoring and protecting the Sovereignty of the United States Constitution.

2. Restoring and protecting the State Legislature and State Constitution by prohibiting the encroachment of these rights by the Federal Government through Countermand Rights:

a. Countermand Rights disallow laws that are onerous to the States (current and retroactive) when 60% of the States concur.

b. Countermand Rights will force Congress, the Courts and Executive Branch to first consider the interest of the States before passing onerous laws on the States.

3. Providing Enforcement Powers under State Laws when the Federal Government refuses to prosecute violators of the provisions of this Article.

4. Assure that the Federal Government does not violate Citizens’ rights to be secure in their persons when the Government uses electronic or other methods of surveillance.

As a citizen of the United States of America, I do hereby direct the State Legislature to complete the “Application” on Congress under the Authority each State has in Article V of the United States Constitution and to pass as a State Legislature “Resolution” the Delegate Resolution for the “Countermand Amendment”.

COMPARISON TABLE OF THE COUNTERMAND AMENDMENT VS. OTHER ARTICLE V GROUPS: http://citizeninitiatives.org/Media/Comparison-Table.pdf

WHY THE COUNTERMAND AMENDMENT: http://citizeninitiatives.org/Legislators/Why_CA_2.pdf

The Countermand Amendment will empower the States to Countermand and rescind any Federal law or regulation that violates States Rights or personal liberties. When 60% of the States agree on a specific Countermand the law or ruling is automatically rescinded. The Federal government can rewrite the law in a way more amenable to the States or abandon it. The States now become respected partners in government, not subjects to Federal mandates.

With the Countermand Amendment States retain their sovereign deliberative authority. WE THE PEOPLE will be able to petition legislators to seek relief from specific encroachments by the Federal government.

Each State Legislature can establish its own Countermand Committee to:
1) select and countermand encroachments adversely affecting their State: and
2) notify other State Countermand Committees of its action requesting they join them by exercising a similar countermand.

The Amendment will stop Federal encroachments on: enumerated rights; un-enumerated rights (each rescission constitutionalizes a States Right in 10th Amendment); privacy; free markets; Congressional budgets; Court decisions; regulatory rulings; taxes; energy; Executive Orders; unfunded liabilities; healthcare; social issues; and more.

Intentional violators of the Amendment can be prosecuted under Federal or State laws.

We have 12 States suing over unprecedented federal land grabs. 26 States challenging E.O. AMNESTY law suit. 27 States challenging ACA obamacare. 24 states challenging the EPA over coal regulations. 27 States challenging Obama EPA water regulations. 11 States suing over bathroom policy?? Where does it end?

Why waste anymore time or money in Federal Courts with no guaranty of a favorable outcome when 30 States can simply Countermand the issue? If each lawsuit costs each State at least a million dollars just think how we could save The States right here alone!! We can free up our State resources again and use them to help The States and the people prosper again! Just imagine! SUPPORT THE COUNTERMAND AMENDMENT TODAY!!!
