12.  U.S. SOVEREIGNTY

Sovereign America

We maintain that true sovereignty lies in the people themselves as the ultimate source and grantor of government authority. We recognize the states and the people as the true sovereigns over the federal government, holding all powers, rights, and authorities not granted to the federal government by the Constitution. The 10th Amendment mandates that the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of government are subservient to the states and to the people.

We say with Abraham Lincoln: "We the people are the rightful masters of Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution."

We affirm that the Constitution for the United States is the supreme law of the land. We assert that the United States is, and must remain, a free and independent nation not subject to international laws or treaties inconsistent with, or that would usurp, the U.S. Constitution.

We favor U.S. withdrawal from any treaty or organization, etc., that infringes upon or threatens the sovereignty and independence of the United States. We favor the ratification of the Bricker Amendment, which would reassert and protect the primacy of the U.S. Constitution.

International Relations

We oppose the concept of Most Favored Nation status, especially when used to obtain favor with regimes whose goals conflict with the vital interests of the United States of America. We oppose any and all efforts by the federal government to regulate and govern other countries and provinces of the world, or efforts to dethrone their leaders.

We oppose all international trade agreements which diminish America's economic self-sufficiency, sovereignty, independence, or exportation of our jobs. We support the withdrawal of funding and support of the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the repeal of Fast Track authority given to the President.

We also oppose the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), the Free Trade Area of The Americas (FTAA), and any and all other trade agreements that are detrimental to the sovereignty and borders of the 50 union states.

Global Government

We reaffirm to the world our declaration of permanent independence and sovereignty as a free nation, and our unalterable opposition to the current movement toward a one world government, New World Order or Globalization. We assert that the consequences of implementing the New World Order or Globalization will be the loss of our national sovereignty and independence, the permanent surrender of our God-given rights and freedoms, the end of personal sovereignty and agency, and a life of slavery and oppression under tyrants and despots.

We favor the immediate withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations, and the immediate removal of all United Nations presence from the United States. We oppose participation in a global army, global taxation, international criminal courts, and all forms of tyranny, foreign or domestic.
