NEW Sons of Liberty - Michigan
Safeguard the Constitution through an Amendment.
In keeping with the spirit of preserving our American Heritage, the New Sons of Liberty Society, a grassroots community created to advance research brought forth by BasicsProject.org, has adopted "The Liberty Tree," as our symbol, an enduring reminder of those who gave all to provide our freedom and the dedication needed to preserve freedom and liberty for our nation.
The Michigan New Sons of Liberty is a local chapter of this historic National initiative undertaken by the New Sons of Liberty.
Our goal is to utilize Non-Partisan, reliable data collected by BasicsProject.org to inform, educate & achieve our current goal - Protecting the U.S. Constitution through an Amendment Supporting Article II, Section 1.
Why is an Amendment needed?
Over the course of the 2008 presidential cycle BasicsProject.org researchers came to the startling conclusion that while the prerequisites for holding the office of President of the United States are set forth in Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution there is no mechanism for enforcing or verifying a candidate's satisfaction of those requirements.
Article II, Section 1 specifically states:
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
Yet, nowhere in the US Constitution is there authorization for a mechanism to assure that Article II, Section 1 is satisfied; there is no constitutional mechanism in place -- either in the original document of in any of the amendments -- that requires a candidate for the office of President of the United States to file documents proving his eligibility to hold office.
In light of this startling revelation, BasicsProject.org has set in motion an initiative to put into place, through the power of a Constitutional Amendment, a mechanism that would require candidates for the offices of the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States to present an original, first-source, vaulted birth certificate to the President Pro Tempore of the US Senate no later that forty-eight (48) hours after receiving his political party's nomination.
Further, this Constitutional Amendment would require said candidates to provide all military, scholastic, financial, criminal records in total, along with relevant medical records, to an open source archive to be certified by the Library of Congress and maintained by the National Archive.
This endeavor will not be achieved easily and it will not be done without financial sacrifice for the effort. It will be met with the full resistance of the political establishment, both in the elected class and from those ensconced in inside-the-beltway institutionalism. But true patriots, true Americans, those who care about passing the promise of liberty and freedom -- the promise of America -- to their children and their children's children understand that it is our duty to protect the Charters of Freedom -- The Declaration of Independence, The US Constitution and The Bill of Rights -- from nefarious forces.
Your role:
The Liberty Tree was a tree that stood in the Boston Commons in the days that saw Massachusetts as a colony, the days before the American Revolution. The tree was a gathering point for those who championed the growing resistance to British rule over the American colonies. In the years that followed, Liberty Trees sprang up in almost every American town, a living symbol of a new nation's dedication to individual liberty and resistance to tyranny. "The Liberty Tree," as our symbol, an enduring reminder of those who gave all to provide our freedom and the dedication needed to preserve freedom and liberty for our nation.
