This resolution does NOT amend the Constitution for the united States of America, but rather, eliminates the presumption of citizenship pursuant to Article XIV, thereby restoring the rights of the free American People as was implemented by the founding fathers.
Whereas, the Sovereign People of these united States of America have been induced by subtle, surreptitious and deceitful means to accept a completely new form of citizenship under (declared unlawfully) Article XIV, creating a federal constitution and federal status, and
Whereas, "Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many Citizens, because of their respect for what appears to be law, are cunningly coerced into waiving their rights due to ignorance," US. V Minker, 350 US 79 at 87, and
Whereas, Article XIV citizenship allows nothing more than "privileges and immunities" and "equal rights," Article XIV (declared unlawfully), the federal constitution, Section 1, and
Whereas, Article XIV (declared unlawfully), the federal constitution, Section 4, specifies that "The validity of the public debt of the United States, ...shall not be questioned, and
Whereas, the true Sovereign People of these united States of America, at the time of the alleged adoption of Article XIV, was that all men are created equal and should be Citizens regardless of race, color or creed.
Whereas,, the proof that Article XIV (declared unalwfully), the federal constitution, is a nullity, and could never be part of our organic constitution, is demonstrated through historical and lawful published.

Federal level
Therefore, it becomes the requirement and duty, incumbent upon the sovereign body of the Citizens to speak in their sovereign capacity and declare that Article XIV (declared unlawfully), the federal constitution is, in fact and law, null and void and not part of the Constitution for the united States of America.
Therefore, We, the Delegates of the Continental Congress 2009, being one voice and conscience of the Sovereign People, resolve and demand that Article XIV (declared unlawfully), the federal constitution be acknowledged as null and void and repugnant in all respects to the organic Constitution for the united States of America, and
That, We, the Delegates of the Continental Congress 2009, being the voice and conscience of the Sovereign People demand that all jurisdiction and authority alleged to be legal and valid puruant to Article XIV (declared unlawfully), the federal constitution, cease and desist immediately.
The resolution of the Continental Congress of November 2009 will be published via internet immediately upon its adoption by this Congress and will be sent by certified mail to the following parties, the defacto president of the United States, all members of Congress, all members of the Supreme Court and Governors of all fifty States and all county Sheriffs and all Militia Commanders and finally to the ranking officer of the Navy of these United States.
The Continental Congress of 2009 hereby demands a written response, by a de jure Officer, pursuant to the organic Constitution of these united States of America, with lawful authority and jurisdiction to make said notice, to be published in media nationally circulated within 60 days.
If the above Resolution is not completely and finally implemented within 120 days of its publication, all usurpers of any governmental office or governmental authority will be subject to arrest and indictment by the properly constituted and lawful officers elected and installed pursuant to the unalienable rights of the sovereign people of these united States of America.
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE, 15641, June 13, 1967 H. Con. Res. 208
"A concurrent resolution to expose the unconstitutionality of the 14th amendment to the constitution of the
United States; to interpose the sovereignty of the State of Louisiana against the execution of said amendement to this
State; to memorialize the Congress of the United States to repeal its joint resolution of July 29, 1868, declaring
that said amendment had been ratified: and to provide for the distribution of certified copies" of this resolution
Whereas the purported fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution was never lawfully adopted according to the
requirement of the United States constitution because eleven states of the Union were deprived of their equal
suffrage in the Senate in violation of Article V, when eleven southern states, including Louisiana, were excluded
from deliberation and decision in the adoption of the Joint Resolution proposing said fourteenth amendment; said
Resolution was not presented to the President of the United States in order that the same should take ffect, as required by Article 1 Section 7:
the proposed amendment was not ratified by three fourth of the states but to the contrary fifteen states of the then thirty-states of
the Union rejected the proposed fourteenth amendment between the dates of submission by the state by the Secretary of State on
June 16, 166 [?] and March 24, 1868, threby nullifying said Resolution and making it impossible for ratification by the constitutionality
required three fourths of such states; said southern states which were denied their equal suffrage in the Senate had been
recognized by proclamations of the President of the United States to have duly constituted governments of all the powers
which belong to free states of the union, and the legislature of the seven southern states had ratified the thirteenth amendment which
would have failed of ratification but for the ratification of said seven southern states; and..."

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE, 15646, June 13, 1967
"The Constitution makes it the sworn duty of the judges to uphold the Constitution which strikes with nullity the 14th Amendment."
"The federal courts actually refuse to hear argument on the invalidity of the 14th Amendment, even when the issue is
presented squarely by the pleadings and the evidence as above. Only an aroused public sentiment in favor of preserving the
Constitution and our institutions and freedoms under constitutional government, and the future security of our
country, will break the political barrier which now prevents judicial consideration of the unconstitutionality of
the 14th Amendment."
Supreme Court of Utah Dyet Vs. Turner, 20 Utah 2d 403
"The United States Supreme Court, as at present constituted, has departed from the Constitution as it has been interpreted from its' inception and has followed the urgings of social reformers and foisting upon this Nation laws which even Congress could not constitutionally pass."
"As a result of the recent holdings of that Court, the sovereignty of the states is practically abolished, and teh erstwhile freen and independent states are now in effect and purpose merely closely supervised units in the federal system."
"In regard to the Fourteenth Amendment, which the present Supremem Court of the United States has by decision chosen as the basis for the rights and prerogatives of the sovereign states, it is appropriate to look at the means and methods by which that amendment was foisted upon the nation..."
"The Constitution of the United States is silent as to who should decide whether a proposed amendment has or has not been passed according to the formal provisions of Article V of the Constitution
Louisiana Bar Journal, volume I, number 2, October1953
"The dubious origin of the fourteenth amendment, states:
"This created a situation which made impossible the ratification of the Amendment unless some of these rejections were reversed."
"My friend has said what has been said all around me, what is said everday: the people of the South have rejected the Constitutional Amendment, and therefore we will march upon the man force them to adopt if at the point of the bayonet, and establish military power over them until they do adopt it."
"Puppet governments were founded in these various states under military auspices."
South Carolina Law Quarterly 11 S.C. L.Q. 484, 1959
"...nor can the passage of time override the specific provisions of Article V which details the only method by which the Constitution can be changed."
"...the passage of any resolution by Congress declaring that a given amendment has or has not been duly ratified by the States, such as was done with respect to the fourteenth amendment is ultra vires and void."
Tulane Law Review, Volume XXVIII, 1954, The Dubious Origin of the Fourteenth Amendment
"...there is no statute of limitations that will cure a gross violation of the amendment procedure laid down by Article V of the Constitution."
"...the true doctrine on the Constitutional point, once resolved, must be given effect regardless of the lapse of time."
The Non Ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, published in 1968, Judge A. H. Ellett
"By this contravince (and others emanating from the fourteenth amendment), the states have been reduced to mere administrative arms and provisional appendage of Congress and Congress power has been extended to include the entirety of the United States."
"The main point is, the courts have recognized that there are both "natural rights" and those "so called" rights artificially created by law i.e. privileges."
"As a result we see, that no competent body proposed nor ratified the fourteenth amendment..., that said Amendment is not a part of the Constitution for the United States of America, and that the Amendment (and like amendments) are absolutely unconstitutional in this respect. They are not amendments of our constitution."
"...the fourteenth amendment is absolutely unconstitutional and therefore null and void "ab initio..."
We cannot emphasize enough that, as a matter of law, there is no fourteenth amendment to the Constitution for the United States..."

Maxwell vs. Dow 176 US 598 (1900)
"It goes without saying that the Federal government can regulate the privileges it creates. By definition,
"citizenship" is the basis of a person's relationship with the government. In a legal sense, everything else is
built upon it. Therefore, since fourteenth amendment citizenship is a privilege, every aspect of the citizens'
life could potentially be regulated. Worst of all, this new class of citizen does not have the right to invoke
protections of the Bill of Rights, as explained in the follwing Supreme Court case:
We have cited these cases for the purpose of showing that the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United
States do not necessarily include all the rights protected by the first eight amendments to the Federal Constitution
against the powers of the Federal government. They were decided subsequently to the adoption of the Fourteenth
Amendment."
