(Note that it is the "people" who keep and bear arms to form the "militia". PIML) Yesterday I posted to PIML a Resolution proposed by a number of U.S. Representatives. That Resolution contains statements that are in direct violation to the U.S. Constitution and in violation to the oaths taken by the Congressmen to support the Constitution. 104th CONGRESS 2d Session H. CON. RES. 206 Expressing the sense of Congress with respect to the threat to the security of American citizens and the United States Government posed by armed militia and other paramilitary groups and organizations. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES August 1, 1996 Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas (for herself, Mr. CONYERS, Ms. NORTON, Mr. FRAZER, Mr. FLAKE, Mrs. LOWEY, Mr. RANGEL, Mr. HASTINGS of Florida, Ms. MILLENDER-MCDONALD, Ms. DELAURO, Mr. CLYBURN, Mr. HILLIARD, Mr. WYNN, Mr. LEWIS of Georgia, Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey, Mrs. CLAYTON, Mr. OWENS, Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana, Mr. CUMMINGS, Miss COLLINS of Michigan, Mr. SCHUMER, Mr. SCOTT, Mr. PASTOR, Mrs. MEEK of Florida, Ms. BROWN of Florida, Ms. MCKINNEY, Mr. FOGLIETTA, Mr. RICHARDSON, Mr. COLEMAN, Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas, Mr. JACKSON of Illinois, Mrs. COLLINS of Illinois, Mr. ENGEL, Mrs. SCHROEDER, Mrs. MALONEY, Ms. VELAZQUEZ, Mr. GUTIERREZ, Mr. CARDIN, Mr. SERRANO, Mr. BECERRA, Mr. GIBBONS, Mr. NADLER, Mr. KENNEDY of Rhode Island, Mr. CLAY, and Ms. LOFGREN) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress with respect to the threat to the security of American citizens and the United States Government posed by armed militia (Armed militia, protected by the Second Amendment, is intended to be a threat to the United States Government if and when that government attempts to act in an unconstitutional manner. PIML) and other paramilitary groups and organizations. Whereas the Government of the United States and its agencies are democratic institutions, created by and for the people of the United States; Whereas the various agencies of the United States Government derive their purpose and their character from the expressed will of the American people, and may be altered from time to time by peaceful means; Whereas 168 American men, women and children were killed in the terrorist bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in April 1995; Whereas Federal law enforcement officials were threatened and held at bay for 81 days in a Montana town by a group of so-called 'Freemen' while trying to exercise their duty to uphold the law, at a cost of millions of dollars to American taxpayers; (The above paragraph has nothing to do with militia. PIML) Whereas various spokespersons for self-described militia and paramilitary organizations and groups have repeatedly denounced the legitimacy of the United States Government; (Free speech is protected by the First Amendment. PIML) Whereas several members of an Arizona militia group were recently arrested in possession of heavy armaments, deadly bombs and explosive devices, and charged with conspiring to use explosives to destroy buildings housing Federal agencies; (The "Viper Team" never claimed to be a militia unit; and members of the Viper Team have not been found guilty of any crimes. PIML) Whereas experts have estimated that extremist anti-Government militia groups and organizations in the United States may number as many as 800, existing in more than 40 States; (The militia units have formed in defense of the Constitution; and the Constitution in Article I, Section 8, anticipates militia units to be formed in all states. PIML) Whereas the democratic institutions of the United States and the American people are protected from both foreign and domestic enemies by a well trained military and multiple layers of legitimate State and local police organizations; (The U.S. military is prohibited by federal law from engaging in domestic law enforcement actions. It is only the militia - made up of the people - whose duty is to protect the people from an unconstitutional federal government gone out of control. PIML) and Whereas the actions of some militia and paramilitary groups and organizations specifically promoting violence constitute a grave danger to American citizens and the institutions of American democracy, and threaten the very foundation of freedom and democracy in America: (In accordance with the Second Amendment, it is the duty of militia units to be well trained in order to protect and defend the Constitution and the people of the United States. Those who would act unconstitutionally might well call this training "promoting violence." PIML) Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that-- (1) armed conspiracies against the Government of the United States or any of its agencies and personnel should be aggressively identified, dissolved, and their perpetrators brought to justice by the federal authorities of law enforcement with the greatest dispatch possible; (Second Amendment militias are no threat to a constitutional government, but rather serve to protect that government. A federal government attempting to act in an unconstitutional manner will find that a constitutional conspiracy, or organization, of militias pose a severe threat to such unconstitutional actions and to those who perpetrate them. PIML) (2) the illegal possession of firearms, explosives, or any substances or devices of destruction by any individual or group should be prosecuted to the full extent of all applicable laws by the Department of Justice; and (3) those legally possessing firearms, explosives, or any substance or device of destruction, and involved in any conspiracy to harm or destroy any agency or property of the United States Government, or any official of the United States Government, or any person, should be promptly prosecuted to the full extent of all applicable laws by the Department of Justice, including those designed to protect the United States Government against treason and subversion. (All persons who violate constitutional laws should be held accountable, especially for violations of those constitutional laws designed to protect the United States Government against treason and subversion. This also applies, of course, to Congressmen who violate their oath to support the Constitution. PIML) The above Resolution violates at least the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution. I earnestly urge all patriots to contact their U.S. Representatives and Senators to call for the IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT of the above listed Representatives who have blatantly violated their oath to support the Constitution.
