A spark is struck! UTAH town says, "No
to U.N.!"
This to inform you that today, 4th of July, 2001, the city of Laverkin, Utah, struck a
spark for liberty. The city council passed a local ordinance declaring
themselves a "United Nations-free Zone,"
effective immediately. It is now illegal to fly the U.N. flag on city
property. The city has forbidden itself from doing business with the
United Nations in any way. It also forbids doing business with contractors
who do. As soon as possible, they will post a sign on the city limits
signs at all approaches to the city, stating, "Welcome to Laverkin - a United
Nations-free Zone by city ordinance, 2001."
The City Fathers of
Laverkin were careful to preserve the First Amendment rights of all citizens to
fly any flag from their private property. Mayor Dan Howard and Councilmen
Allison Snow were particularly pleased with the community support. Where
normally five to ten people show up for a city council meeting, there were 150
citizens present for this 225th birthday of the USA.
The Laverkin version
has modifications from the version drawn up by Dr. Herb Titus and myself.
I am waiting to see what changes they made. The original version forbids
the paying of any levy, tax or fee to any United Nations agency, forbids any
judgement by any International Court to be imposed upon local citizens, forbids
the quartering of United Nations troops in the city limits, forbids the forcing
of local citizens for involuntary servitude as soldiers under a United Nations,
etc. (You can see the original at the link below.)
United Nations-free Zone
Ordinance
Mayor Jay Lee, of nearby Virgin, Utah,
expressed his support, even though he was disappointed that Virgin did not beat
Laverkin to the punch. In a conversation with Mayor Lee tonight, he told
me that nearby Toquerville has asked for someone to present the ordinance to
their next town council meeting.
Can city councils do something
like that? Well, there's a pretty good precedent, which apparently withstood
several court challenges in the Sixties, when Berkeley, California, decided to
declare themselves a "nuclear-free zone." It really didn't affect the city
of Berkeley so much as it affected the national debate. Supporters of this
ordinance agree that the psychological effect is probably the greatest. It
expresses the way people feel about the United Nations, and about their own
nation's sovereignty. As one in Virgin told me last week, "American has a
lot of problems, and nobody's saying it's perfect, but I would rather they be
fixed by Americans than by some foreign bureaucrat who has no clue about what
makes America work."
The legal doctrine of "interposition of the lower
magistrate" is well recognized. When a higher governmental authority
either breaks the law, or refuses to enforce it, it is the right and the duty of
lower magistrates to intervene and function as a check and a balance on the
system. That is how Magna Carta was passed in 1215. It's how the
Declaration of Independence was passed in 1776. It's how Sheriff Richard
Mack sued the US government over the Brady Bill, and at great personal cost,
wound up with a Supreme Court decision declaring Brady as
unconstitutional. It's how Army Spc. Michael New said, "No, I'll not
violate my exclusive oath of allegiance to my country by wearing a United
Nations patch and headgear, and serving under foreign (illegal) officers."
And it's how the town of Laverkin, Utah, tells "elected servants of the
The People" that they have gone too far.
Inquiries from towns all over
the United States are beginning to roll in. The question now becomes,
"What will this nation do with such a spark?" Will it die for lack of
tinder? Will others nurture it, and add fuel to the fire, and strike other
sparks in their communities?
What can I do? If you know your
city councilors, or county commissioners, and if they are already informed on
the threat the United Nations poses to our national sovereignty, to our very
concept of private property, to freedom, then get a copy of this ordinance and
urge them to pass it. If they aren't informed, then don't go in and badger
them with this out of the blue. Start today, educating them to this issue,
and their role in protecting the private property of our local citizens.
Pass it on.
