BONNER COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE

Assembled August 25, 2009

RESOLUTION NO. 3

IDAHO HEALTH FREEDOM

 TO THE GOVERNOR OF IDAHO, THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, AND THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION REPRESENTING THE STATE OF IDAHO IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES

WHEREAS, the House Joint Memorial No. 4, passed in the First Regular Session of the Sixtieth Legislature of the State of Idaho claimed sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government and demanded that the federal government cease mandates that are beyond the scope of their constitutionally delegated powers; and

WHEREAS, the U.S. Constitution neither enumerates nor grants the federal government power to mandate health care or abrogate the natural right of the citizens of Idaho to choose their own health care, as each deems best for himself; and, any attempt to interfere with this inalienable right of the citizens of Idaho must be viewed as an unconstitutional act by the federal government; and

WHEREAS, an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision.  "Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it...No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it."  Sixteenth American Jurisprudence, Second Edition, Section 177 (Late 2nd Ed. Section 256); and

WHEREAS, HJM No. 4 also prohibited compulsory federal legislation that directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties, sanctions, and loss of federal funding; and

WHEREAS, each individual's natural right to choose his own health care must include the freedom to select or reject vaccinations, drugs, vitamins, minerals, wellness programs, naturopathic programs, natural care, physicians, practitioners, mid-wives, health or wellness counselors, nursing homes, hospices, end of life determinations, and religious health practices without federal interference, threats, advice, euthanasia/suicide counseling, a federal health/gun database, financial penalties, discriminatory funding, rationing, and preferential treatment for any age, racial or ethnic group; and

WHEREAS, the explosive growth of alternative health systems, freely selected and found effective by Idaho citizens, demands equal treatment without abridgement or discrimination by any government.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Bonner County Republican Central Committee petitions the State of Idaho to pass legislation to promote and protect health care freedom for the citizens of Idaho and urges the State of Idaho to nullify any National Health Care plan and any mandatory swine flu vaccination program, which are both viewed as unconstitutional acts by the federal government.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Bonner County Republican Central Committee be hereby authorized and directed to forward a copy of this Resolution to the Governor, the Senate and the House of Representatives of Idaho, the congressional delegation representing the State of Idaho in the Congress of the United States, the Idaho Republican Party Chairman, members of this central committee, and the media.

                                                                                   Signed 8/25/2009

APPROVED AND ADOPTED:             ______________________________________
