TIME SENSITIVE CALL TO ACTION:

 GA Petitions



Mark Amick testified before the panel last week in GA and was a former Vice
Chairman in Denton County, Texas. He now resides in GA. 

 

He's calling on all patriots concerned about the events in GA to take action
TODAY! Please share with your distribution lists.

 

Here's his appeal to you: 

 

 

Fellow Patriots:

 

IN THIS EMAIL YOU SHOULD HAVE: 1- The text of the press release (below)
regarding the circulating Petition; 2- Two Links that provide the Georgia
Senate membership roster and the House membership roster, both of which have
phone numbers and emails of all members; 3- Quotes from court decisions
regarding the plenary power of a legislative body to select electors; 4- Two
petitions, which are the actual Petitions for the Georgia Senate and the
Georgia House.

 

Spread the info far and wide so many people will call legislators. In fact,
the court language below suggests that the Speaker of the House and the
Presiding Officer of the Senate have the power to convene their respective
chambers without any call by the Governor since this is a federal election
matter.

STATUTES AND COURT CASES

 

See 3 U.S.C. Sec. 5 ....  

The right to vote is fundamental.  

 

The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the right to vote is a “fundamental
political right,” “preservative of all rights.”  Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S.
356, 370, 6 S. Ct. 1064, 30 L. Ed. 220 (1886); see also United States v.
Anderson, 481 F.2d 685, 699 (4th Cir. 1973).  This right extends not only to
“the initial allocation of the franchise,” but also to “the manner of its
exercise.”  Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98, 104–05, 121 S. Ct. 525, 148 L. Ed. 2d
388 (2000).  Infringement of fundamental constitutional freedoms such as the
right to vote “for even minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes
irreparable injury.”  Elrod v. Burns, 427 U.S. 347, 373, 96 S. Ct. 2673, 49 L.
Ed. 2d 547 (1976); see also Newsom v. Albemarle Cnty. Sch. Bd., 354 F.3d 249,
261 (4th Cir. 2003).  

Each House has control of its rules.  A majority of either body should be able
to convene.  A majority of both together can convene.  Grab a hotel ballroom if
you must, for Covid reasons or otherwise, and act as the Legislature of the
State of Georgia under Article I, Section 4.  That power is plenary to the
State Legislature.  John Eastman testified to that fact in the hearings. 

 

This selection from a recent 8th Circuit case (October) interpreting
Minnesota's election laws may be helpful to the analysis: 

 

The analysis is relatively straightforward. By its plain terms, the Electors
Clause vests the power to determine the manner of selecting electors
exclusively in the "Legislature" of each state. U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl.
2; McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U.S. 1, 27 (1892) ("The constitution . . . .
leaves it to the legislature exclusively[.]"). And this vested authority is not
just the typical legislative power exercised pursuant to a state constitution.
Rather, when a state legislature enacts statutes governing presidential
elections, it operates "by virtue of a direct grant of authority" under the
United States Constitution. Bush v. Palm Beach Cnty. Canvassing Bd., 531 U.S.
70, 76 (2000). Consequently, only the Minnesota Legislature, and not the
Secretary, has plenary authority to establish the manner of conducting the
presidential election in Minnesota.

PRESS RELEASE REGARDING THE PETITION

 

Senators Introduce Petition to Call Special Session

 

(December 5, 2020) | Today, Sen. William Ligon (R – Brunswick), Sen. Greg
Dolezal (R – Cumming), Sen. Brandon Beach (R – Alpharetta) and Sen. Burt Jones
(R – Jackson) have drafted a Petition calling for and convening a Special
Session. The petition serves as notification to Governor Brian Kemp and
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that an emergency exists such that a
session of the General Assembly is being called for and convened on Tuesday,
December 8, 2020, at 10:00 A.M. in order to attend to such emergency and for
all purposes provided for pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution
of the United States.

 

This Petition comes after the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee was inundated with
affidavits, signed under penalty of perjury, from citizens all over the state
who testified to blatant election fraud and many violations of the law that
have taken place during the 2020 General Election as well as during the
follow-up recounts.

 

“We recognize our duty to move forward with this Petition due to the level of
fraud and violations of law which took place during this 2020 election cycle.
We urge others to join us,” stated Sen. Ligon. “We need at least 29 signatures
in the Senate on the Petition before 9 AM, Tuesday, December 8, 2020.  A
similar Petition in the House requires at least 91 signatures by that same
time. Now is the time to call your senators and representatives to stand up and
be counted on this effort to restore integrity in the election.”

 

As the Petition makes clear, testimonial and other evidence given before the
Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee demonstrated a systemic failure to
observe Georgia Election laws. Underage individuals and convicted felons
registered and were allowed to vote. People voted who were not listed in the
state's records as having been registered to vote. Voters who moved to a
different county more than 30 days prior to the election and failed to
re-register were allowed to cast votes. Voters registered using bogus addresses
such as UPS facilities and other stores, yet their votes counted. Ballots of
individuals who were deceased prior to Election Day counted. Over and over
again, ballots were counted outside the view of poll watchers or designated
monitors, defying the law. Even the law itself was modified by an
unconstitutional agreement which weakened signature verification requirements
for absentee ballot applications and absentee ballots as set out in Code
Sections 21-2-381 and 21-2-386.

 

According to committee members, that was just a part of the testimony that
came before them and much more is still being submitted. Any certification of
electors by the Governor of Georgia or the Georgia Secretary of State in light
of such systemic failures, the Petition states, would not be in conformity with
the Georgia Election Code enacted by the General Assembly pursuant to its
plenary power. Therefore, following Supreme Court guidance in Bush v. Gore, 531
U.S. 98 at 104, a state legislature, "after granting the franchise in the
special context of Article II, can take back the power to appoint electors.”

 

“We believe we have reached the point that the results of this election are
untrustworthy,” stated Sen. Burt Jones. “Such pervasive disregard for election
laws by our election officials requires a decisive response. It is time for our
legislative body to do its job.”
