A BEYOND STATE SOVEREIGNTY RESOLUTION
regarding the
ILLEGALITY OF THE 17th AMENDMENT
prepared by the Republic Restoration Initiative team
BACKGROUND - Prior to adoption of the seventeenth amendment, U.S. senators were elected by their state's legislature. They were a direct representative of the state and only indirectly represented we the people.’ The primary reason for the two houses of Congress being elected in different ways was to insulate senators from public pressure. Adoption of the 17th Amendment changes this and subjected the Senate to lobbyists. To be elected a U. S. Senator today one must have millions of dollars and be a darling of the major media outlets, all of which are controlled by the financial/industrial cartel promoting the New World Order. Today, Senate candidates must sell their soul and vote to the cartel to be elected.

RESOLUTION
Whereas, the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution passed the Senate on June 12, 1911 and the House of Representatives on May 13, 1912 with the claim that states completed ratification on April 8, 1913 and
Whereas, the 17th Amendment supersedes Article I, Sec. 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution and transferred a U. S. Senator’s appointment by his/her state legislature to popular election by voters of the state and was a major step in transforming the Republic to which we pledge an allegiance into a democracy and
Whereas, the text of House Joint Resolution #39 of the 62nd Congress that is responsible for the introduction of the 17th Amendment states "the following amendment to the Constitution shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the States..." and;
Whereas, the last sentence of Art. V of the Constitution says: "no state, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate," and
Whereas, the mere suggestion that three-fourths of the states could ratify this amendment is simply untrue as in 16 American Jurisprudence we find insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, the RRI team finds:
- Ratification of the seventeenth Amendment was not in compliance with the letter of the Constitution much less its spirit and intent and is unconstitutional.
- Since ratification of the 17th Amendment was an unconstitutional and fraudulent act and fraud has no statute of limitations, all laws passed by the Congress of the United States of America since April 8, 1913 are in law - null and void.
- Members of the legislatures of the "free and independent states" comprising the United States of America, upon receiving this resolution must, in order to avoid being guilty of misprision of a felony and as a giant step toward restoring lawful government to these United States of America:
a. declare each and every act by the Federal government since April 8, 1913 null and void.
b. replace the impostors posing as U. S. Senators with U. S. Senators duly elected by the state legislature.
c. immediately prepare an outline of urgent actions to be pursued by their duly elected Senator upon her/his being sworn in to office.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that to help assure finding #3 is honestly pursued, every concerned American should support the Republic Restoration Initiative and this Resolution by:
- Registering with republicrestoration.ning.com at no cost to become a ‘networker’ dedicated to supporting the thirty governors who, on 11/22/94 pledged “to restore to the states and the people the prerogatives and freedoms guaranteed them under the Constitution".
- Working with others through a local team dedicated to Taking America Back to its lawful foundation.
- Providing their City Council members, County Commissioners, state legislators and governors a copy of this resolution along with a demand it be acted upon.

AUTHOR'S COMMENTARY
Once aware of this unconstitutional act, State officials must act to correct it and all Federal legislation passed subsequent to it or be guilty of Misprision of a crime. Doing so will correct many of the ills plaguing America. The United Nations Charter (also an unconstitutional act), Federal Reserve Act of 1913, War Powers allowing the President to act as a dictator, debts created under the Federal Reserve System, all ungodly and unconstitutional Supreme Court decisions along with the present members of the Court and much more will disappear.
States can again make America the Constitutional REPUBLIC to which we pledge an allegiance and the Land of Liberty intended for us by God and our Nation’s founders. Americans will no longer be the official enemies of the Federal government and peace can take on a real meaning throughout the world.
