UNITED REPUBLICANS OF CALIFORNIA

OPPOSE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REAL ID ACT OF 2005

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, Founding Father Benjamin Franklin said that anyone who gives up liberty in order to obtain a little security deserves neither; and

WHEREAS, After the September 11, 2001 attack on America, President George W. Bush, through the Department of Homeland Security, hired former soviet KGB and East German STASI “consultants” to develop a national identity card that would allow the U.S. Government to control every American citizen; and

WHEREAS, Yevgeniy Primakov, former premier of the USSR and former director of the soviet KGB stated that this new “identity card” would give the U.S. government greater control over Americans than former soviet dictator Joseph Stalin had over the Russian people; and

WHEREAS, This identity card has two basic components and one flaw, to wit: (1) in addition to one’s physical description, it has access to all the information illegally gathered by the National Security Agency (“NSA”) through foreign and private agencies; and (2) it contains an embedded chip that enables the Dept. of Homeland Security and other federal agencies to keep track of the card’s location as well as remotely update any material related to one’s status, i.e., firearms registration which could lead to one’s firearms confiscation by the Dept. of Justice; and (3) the embedded chip’s flaw is that it can be “hacked;” and

WHEREAS, This identity card was touted as a “security measure” and deterrent to illegal immigration and terrorists by forcing everyone to accept this new identity card by May, 2008; and legislation called the “Real ID Act of 2005” was co-sponsored by members of the House of Representatives, Tom Tancredo (R-CO) and David Drier (R-CA), which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush; and

WHEREAS, As a national revolt against the Real ID Act has begun, the Department of Homeland Security has been bombarded with opposition to the implementation of the Real ID Act, . Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California diametrically opposes the unconstitutional legislation known as the Real ID Act of 2005 that subjects freedom-loving Americans to carry “identity cards” which were developed by former Soviet KGB or East German STASI “consultants” and calls upon its members to contact their State Legislators to draw up and approve a strong resolution opposing the implementation of the Real ID Act of 2005 by May 2008; and, be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, United Republicans of California calls upon its members to contact U.S. Senators and Congressmen to draw up legislation that would repeal the Real ID Act of 2005 and preserve Americans’ freedom from government intrusion.

OPPOSE THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS (AAFTA)

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, Negotiations on the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), having first fallen behind schedule (original implementation date was 2005) and then stalling completely, advocates of globalist integration of the Western hemisphere have turned to other measures; and

WHEREAS, Former U.S. Trade Representative Robert B. Zoellick, member Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and who helped push through Central American Free Trade Agreement CAFTA), argues for an omnibus Association of American Free Trade Agreements (AAFTA) in order to bring prosperity to the entire Western hemisphere, and that this is necessary to counter rising economic influence coming from Asia; and

WHEREAS, AAFTA, touted as an Association (and not a treaty) would, in essence, be a “public private partnership” of the Bush Administration, the Democrat-controlled Congress, and corporations for

“free trade,” democracy, and economic development throughout the Western hemisphere into a single package driven essentially by transnational corporations; and

WHEREAS, Countries in South America are dragging their feet in the face of promises of better education, more jobs and increased opportunities because they smell a rat not because they are ignorant or backward as Zoellick propounds; and

WHEREAS, Few ordinary Americans have benefitted from NAFTA after almost a decade and a half but transnational corporations, which show no allegiance to America, have reaped enormous profits both from cheap labor abroad and the driving down of American wages, costing Americans well over a million jobs just in manufacturing alone, turning once thriving communities into ghost towns as their young people must seek work elsewhere; and

WHEREAS, The globalist elites have the need for a society consisting of two tiers: the elites (running the transnational corporations) and a permanently cash-strapped mass because a financially-independent and stable middle class, with the leisure time to become educated and monitor the elites, is their worst enemy; and

WHEREAS, Americans should oppose AAFTA, just as they are with FTAA, with its intendant tens of thousands of pages of more regulations of every kind, when those advocating “free trade” have not explained why it takes tens of thousands of pages to establish it; and

WHEREAS, If elites were genuinely committed to prosperity for all peoples, they would export, by example:

· principles of individualism (not collectivism);

· private property rights (not redistribution of wealth);

· Constitutionally-limited government (not expansionist government and debt); and

· respect for the rule of law (as opposed to both governments and transnational corporations answering only to each other and to the lure of money); and these alone provide for a people to elevate themselves to genuine prosperity which is always more than a matter of economics. Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California call upon its members to contact their representatives in Congress to oppose the American Association of the Free Trade Agreements (AAFTA), an unconstitutional public-private partnership of government and trans-national corporations, which would rob Americans of jobs and utterly destroy the American middle class; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California believe that for people to be prosperous, instead of the AAFTA, UROC’s principles of individualism, private-property rights, Constitutionally-limited government, and respect for the rule of law should be exported.

REPEAL THE MILITARY SELECTIVE SERVICE ACT

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, Conscription for military service, including the “back door draft” which extends the military duty of those who have volunteered to serve our country beyond the termination dates of their enlistment contract, or any other type of compulsory national service, is slavery, plain and simple; and

WHEREAS, Conscription was made illegal under the 13^th Amendment, which prohibits involuntary servitude and being killed as a military draftee makes conscription a very dangerous kind of enslavement; and

WHEREAS, Instead of testing the efficacy of the Selective Service System and sending more troops off to an unconstitutionally-declared war we’re losing, and paid for by creating credit out of thin air, we ought to revive our love of liberty by repealing the Military Selective Service Act - as a free society should never depend on compulsory conscription to defend itself; and

WHEREAS, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) has introduced legislation to repeal the Military Selective Service Act (H.R. 424) which would re-direct current government personnel involved in the Selective Service to other branches of the government and would give free legal assistance to anyone who had disobeyed an order to report for induction, and for other purposes. Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California, believing that conscription into the military or other type of service is a form of involuntary servitude or slavery, strongly supports Ron Paul’s legislation to Repeal the Military Selective Service Act (H.R. 424) and calls upon its members to contact their Congressmen to co-sponsor and support H.R. 424.

SUPPORT “READ THE BILLS ACT”

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, Legislation has been introduced into Congress entitled Read the Bills Act (“RTBA”) which requires that every piece of legislation must be posted on the Internet for seven (7) days before a vote can be held; and

WHEREAS, The RTBA would prevent the kind of mischief that is currently happening in Congress, specifically legislation that has to do with the grassroots regulation provisions of S. 1, which was vetoed. Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California strongly supports the Read the Bill Act (“RTBA”) - protection against secretive legislating - that forces all legislation to be publicly posted on the Internet seven (7) days prior to voting so that grass-roots activists can call their Congressmen to oppose or support different pieces of legislation.

OPPOSE FOOD FROM CHINA!

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, The vast production of American food is one of the greatest achievements of our free-enterprise society and of our superior system of patents that encouraged the invention of fantastically-efficient farm machinery; in one of our favorite patriotic songs, we wax lyrical about our “amber waves of grain;” and

WHEREAS, The Clinton Administration conned American farmers into being the principal lobbyists in 2000 for passage of Permanent Normal Trade Relations (“PNTR”) for Communist China, which gave Chinese goods unconditional access to U.S. markets; and Clinton promised in his State of the Union address that PNTR for China would be a win-win for American agriculture because “this agreement will open China’s market to us;” and

WHEREAS, Clinton’s Department of Agriculture predicted that the average annual value of U.S. agricultural exports to China would increase by $1.5 billion; however, current Department of Commerce figures show that U.S. wheat exports to China are less today than before PNTR was passed; and

WHEREAS, Cheap or slave-labor in Asia can produce some agricultural products cheaper than we can with all our expensive equipment which has caused a trade imbalance with China of $6 Trillion dollars (growing at $2 Billion daily) and we are now importing 13 percent of the food Americans eat; and

WHEREAS, China simply doesn’t have health, sanitary, or safety standards that Americans have come to expect for our food supply and China cannot produce U.S.-style safety because of the sprawling and fragmented food-processing industry in a vast country where poisonings from tainted products are common; and.

WHEREAS, It was recently discovered that Communist China has been intentionally mixing industrial chemicals into pet and animal feed imported by U.S. companies, to wit:

· Melamine (a mixture of mammalian urine mixed with formaldehyde) into wheat-gluten and rice-protein concentrate in order to trick Americans into thinking they are buying feed with higher protein content;

· Cyanuric acid (a chemical used in chlorination during pool cleaning) into wheat-gluten products sold to the U.S.; and

· Diethylene glycol, a poison (that killed thousands of people in Panama, Haiti, and other countries) and a prime ingredient used in anti-freeze, into many varieties of medicines including cough syrup, fever medication, and injectable drugs because it is a cheap substitute for the safe glycerin; and

WHEREAS, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered the Communist Chinese’s dangerous tactics but is only able to inspect 1.3% of imported food, while 98.7% of uninspected and deliberately adulterated Chinese food enters the U.S. as a matter of “trust” because the FDA works on a “risk-based” inspection philosophy, focusing on specific foods where there is the biggest potential risk. Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California recognized the danger to America of Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) with Communist China and vehemently opposed it because Americans cannot compete with slave labor and calls upon its members to contact their Congressmen to have PNTR repealed; and, be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California calls upon the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to inspect 100% of all Communist Chinese foods (which have been deliberately adulterated with dangerous chemicals) instead of the current paltry 1.3% so that Americans can feel safe about the food they and their families eat.

OPPOSE THE COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE PRODUCTS AND THEIR REGULATION BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, A new Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) “guidance” document, “Docket No. 2006D-0480 - Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration” (CAM), published on the FDA’s website, reveals plans to reclassify vitamins, supplements, herbs, and even vegetable juices, as FDA-regulated drugs and require FDA approval; and

WHEREAS, The FDA, which does everything in its power to protect drug company profits, including discrediting herbs, supplements and alternative medicine, and whose “experts” who re-approved Merck’s Vioxx after it killed over 50,000 Americans, will now decide whether herbs, supplements, vitamins or simple devices such as massages stone are to be regulated as drugs and medical devices; and

WHEREAS, The FDA is voting on CAM on Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California believes in the right of the individual to choose to consume healthy food, take supplements, vegetable juices, and use alternative therapies, without government interference, calls upon its members to OPPOSE “Docket No. 2006D-0480 - Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration” by calling before May 30, 2007, FDA members, to wit: Sheryl Lard-Whiteford at 301-827-0379; Daniel Nguyen at 301-827-8971, Ted Stevens at 301-594-1184; and Wayne Amchin at 301-827-6739 and expressing strong opinion at this threat to individual liberty in the choice of alternative medicine.

SUPPORT THE HEALTH FREEDOM PROTECTION ACT

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) have continued to censor and engage in heavy-handed attempts to restrict access to supplements and educational information by and for Americans; and

WHEREAS, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) has introduced The Health Freedom Protection Act (H.R. 2117) which would stop the FDA and FTC from censoring truthful claims about the curative, mitigative, or preventative effects of dietary supplements. Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California, knowing that Americans seek information about natural medicine instead of toxic drugs, supports Ron Paul’s (R-TX) H.R. 2117, which would prevent the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from interfering with Americans’ right to know about truthful claims about the curative, mitigative, or preventative effects of dietary supplements and calls upon its members to contact their Congressmen and ask them to co-sponsor and support H.R. 2117.

OPPOSE PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE!

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, God gave life to man and man has the duty to protect the most fragile and vulnerable of human life, the young and the old; and

WHEREAS, The California State Assembly is considering a bill that would legalize physician-assisted suicide in the state and is modeled after a similar statute in Oregon, the only U.S. state which allows physician-assisted suicide; and

WHEREAS, Introduced by Assembly Members Patty Berg, Lloyd Levine and Fabian Nunez, the Speaker of the Assembly, AB 374 is entitled the “California Compassionate Choices Act,” which would allow doctors to help patients end their lives. Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California strongly opposes any legislation that would take the life of its most vulnerable populace, the young and the old, and adamantly opposes the California Compassionate Choices Act (AB 374) which would allow physicians to help patients end their lives and calls upon its members to contact their Assemblymen to tell them to oppose this gruesome legislation.

OPPOSE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND AMNESTY

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, On Monday, May 20^th, the U.S. Senate will vote on the Kennedy/McCain bill which will give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens through a phony “citizenship path”, expansion of foreign-worker visas, and expansion of legal immigration; and

WHEREAS, Time is of the essence to contact Senators and strongly urge them to vote against any bill that would grant coveted U.S. citizenship to illegal aliens and allow illegal aliens to bring in their extended families, and for other purposes. Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans is vehemently against illegal immigrants gaining amnesty or anything else that allows them to stay in the United States or pay a fine which, in most cases, will be waived and strongly urges its members to call the U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY and leave messages to oppose any type of amnesty or pathway to citizenship for those who have successfully violated our laws.

OPPOSE MANDATORY HPV VACCINE FOR GIRLS!

Adopted in United Republicans of California Spring Convention, May 19, 2007

WHEREAS, Young girls should not be used as guinea pigs for state-mandated drug experimentation of any kind; and

WHEREAS, Merck, the giant drug company that had its Vioxx pulled by the FDA after the deaths of over 50,000 Americans, has come under fire over its lobbying efforts, through Women in Government, to have states’ legislators throughout the nation mandate to have their drug, Gardasil, forced upon public-school girls as young as nine years old in order to “prevent” cervical cancer caused by HPV; and

WHEREAS, Although a tragedy, only approximately 3,700 women in the U.S. die from cervical cancer caused by HPV, which does not make cervical cancer an epidemic warranting mandated vaccinations; and

WHEREAS, Gardasil, which costs taxpayers $360 for three shots over three weeks, has not been tested any longer than four years and the potential harm caused by Gardasil to a girl’s later reproductive life, or that of her unborn daughter’s reproductive life, has not been determined; and

WHEREAS, The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has issued a statement opposing the forced vaccinations of grade school girls, stating that this vaccine mandate violates parental rights, informed consent and privacy; the efficacy and safety of this specific vaccine are unproven; it is an unjustified expansion of the taxpayer’s burden; it constitutes an unwarranted overreaching of executive power; and it violates sunshine-in-government; and

WHEREAS, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA), a medical doctor, introduced the Parental Right to Decide Protection Act (H.R. 1153) which would prohibit federal funding from being used to mandate the HPV vaccine for children. Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California, ever aware of parental rights over their children, is greatly concerned about government mandating the forced injection of any drug on pre-teen girls and calls upon its members to contact their State Assemblymen and Senators and strongly urge them to resist using young girls as guinea pigs for untested drugs; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California strongly supports Rep. Phil Gingrey’s (R-GA) Parental Right to Decide Protection Act (H.R. 1153) and calls upon its members to contact their Congressmen to co-sponsor and support H.R. 1153.

OPPOSE THE SECURITY AND PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP OF NORTH AMERICA

(Spring, 2006)

RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California renounces the treasonous Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) which would severely threaten the sovereignty of the United States and open our borders to danger from world-wide terrorists; and which, without election or congressional approval, would unite the United States with the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of both Mexico and Canada, and calls upon its members to actively oppose the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America., the North American Cooperative Security Agreement Act (H.R. 2676 / S. 853), and / S. 1033 “To Improve Border Security and Immigration; and, be it

.RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California fully supports the dedicated men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol who risk life and limb to protect America’s borders from drug-smugglers, illegal aliens, and terrorists; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California is appalled that the U.S. Government would spend U.S. taxpayer money to locate a Mexican national drug-smuggler and give him immunity and free medical care for testifying against Ignacio Ramos and José Alonso Compean, two U.S. Border Patrol Agents who were doing their sworn duty and who are now facing 20 years in prison each; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, That United Republicans of California unequivocally demands that President George W.
