By Elliott Graham, Former President of the American Pistol & Revolver Association
The recent tragic shooting that occurred at Fort Hood, where more than 40 victims were shot, would never happen inside a police station or a sheriff’s station, simply because police officers and deputy sheriffs are always armed, but why weren’t the soldiers armed?
If the Army Base Commanding General or the Department of Defense had required the soldiers to always keep their guns with them while inside their base, there is no way that one man could have shot that many people!
Therefore, part of the blame should also be the fact that none of the soldiers were allowed to be armed. What kind of a crazy policy is that? Aren’t soldiers supposed to carry guns?
Military bases should always be considered targets of our enemies and especially when we are at war! Soldiers should not only protect us but also be able to defend themselves!
President Barack Obama, as our Commander-in-Chief, can correct this problem by giving a direct order to all military personnel that they be required to be armed while on duty within their military installations and such occurrences as what has happened at Ford Hood will never happen again.
Attention:
California Voters
Please Do NOT sign away
your Homes and Property!
Do not be fooled into believing that a
Constitutional Convention is “good”!
You have our permission to reproduce this resolution
that was passed unanimously by all members of
the Los Angeles County Central Committee of the
American Independent Party on the 2nd of July, 2009
and you may introduce this resolution at your next
meeting of your political party or organization:
The American Independent Party of Los Angeles County
Opposes the California Constitutional Convention Initiatives:
WHEREAS: Two initiatives are currently being introduced to call for a constitutional convention to rewrite our entire California Constitution.
WHEREAS: A simple majority of 201 out of 400 delegates can completely change any and all articles to our state’s constitution as they want to and without any “checks or balances.”
WHEREAS: With the current state deficits, public employee unions and other special interest demands from lobbyists and pressure groups that want to increase our taxes, such a convention will most likely eliminate such property tax protections as Proposition 13 by Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann and the 2/3rds safety net required to raise our taxes.
WHEREAS: Such a convention may eliminate our initiative and referendum process where we, the people could correct problems that were created by our legislature and without this ability of we, the people to continue to have this process, bad new articles or amendments can no longer be repealed by a vote of the people.
WHEREAS: Socialist welfare policies and huge tax increases will cause many businesses and residents to leave this state simply because it will be too expensive to continue living in California.
Therefore, be it RESOLVED that: The American Independent Party of Los Angeles County OPPOSES both of these initiatives that call for a California Constitutional Convention and we urge all voters to refuse to sign any petitions that would place these propositions on our ballot.
Respectfully submitted by Elliott Graham on the 2nd of July, 2009

See what taxpayers have to say about a “Con-Con”!
DON’T SIGN AWAY YOUR HOMES AND PROPERTY!
Your Vice President’s Outlook – by Elliott Graham
(Elliott Graham is Vice President of the United Organizations of Taxpayers)
The big tax and spenders who hate Proposition 13 that we, including Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann, worked so hard to achieve, have figured our a way to undo everything that we have achieved to limit our property taxes and our two thirds majority safety net needed to raise our taxes!
Because, we have limited what the Legislature and a simple majority of voters can do to us, they have come up with the idea of having a “California State Constitutional Convention” that would rewrite our state’s constitution!
By doing this, their Delegates will be able to throw out any and all articles or amendments that they want to remove, such as Proposition 13 and the two-thirds rule that we have enjoyed for all of these years! It has also been suggested that “We, the People” (voters) no longer elect our State Treasurer or our state’s Controller by having these financial officers appointed instead of being elected!
Another bad idea is to have a unicameral legislature instead of continuing with our bicameral one. With only one house, bad bills can fly through much faster and with less opposition! What a crazy idea, especially when many legislators vote for bills that they have not yet read!
It is also unclear, just how far this Constitutional Convention can go! Like what else can some very radical and uncontrolled delegates (who can change our state government) do to us!
Therefore, we at U.O.T. strongly recommend that all of our members and friends refuse to sign any initiative that calls for a Constitutional Convention in the first place!
It will be a lot cheaper and easier to have such an initiative fail to qualify on our ballot that to fight them after it gets on the ballot and then have to organize and finance an expensive campaign to defeat it later, after it gets on our ballot!
2010 may be our last election
and our last chance to save
America and the free world!
By Elliott Graham, Chairman of V.A.C.A.T.
Now, more than ever in America’s history, our federal government has been taken over by one party rule. The Democrats can pass any bill that they want without a single Republican vote.
Do you believe that they and their labor union friends will allow themselves to be defeated? Their answer is no! and they will continue to pull out all the stops! They are currently importing more Democrats in the current system of legal immigration while at the same time will give amnesty to illegal immigrants that may qualify to become American citizens before the next Presidential Election in 2012 and vote for more Democrats!
Therefore, unless the majority of the American people, wake up now, in 2009, when we need to plan and organize all of the necessary opposition to this treason, it could well become to late to stop them! Already, our government is granting rights of “Eminent Domain” to the “People’s Republic of (Communist) China as collateral for all of the bail-out loans that we are receiving from them!
The one world government globalists in the Council on Foreign Relations, the Tri-lateral Commission, the Builderburgers and the United Nations are still in charge and they have not given up their plans to place us under a United Nations World Government nor for the intermediate step of forming a “North American (Soviet) Union” .
The only way that we can win in 2010 is to defeat all of the incumbent subversive traitors in both houses of Congress!
To do this we desperately need to find and recruit trustworthy candidates that win back our freedom in the 2010 Primary and General Elections! We cannot wait until 2010 to start, we absolutely must start NOW! or it will be too late!

This is a copy of my speech at
the July 3rd Glendale Area Independence Tea Party:
Important Reasons Why We Must Avoid a Constitutional Convention
By Elliott Graham, Founder and Chairman of C.U.A.C.C.
(Constitutionalists United Against a Constitutional Convention)
The main reason why we are living in a free country is because our founding fathers who wrote our Constitution gave us a limited government Constitutional Republic that limits the powers of government and with the “Bill of Rights” also protects individuals and free and sovereign states from domination by an all powerful federal government.
On Independence Day, the Anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, we are celebrating our divorce from a powerful government on the other side of the ocean that tried to over tax and disarm us just like our too powerful federal government is trying to do today.
The Declaration of Independence and our United States Constitution that contains these articles of freedom for all individuals are more than just documents, they are also a sacred contract, just like a real marriage, a marriage that is between we, the people and our public servants that make up our government.
The “Bill of Rights” guarantees our freedom of speech and the right to worship as we please, the right to keep and bear arms, which is an individual right and not just a collective right for the government, the right to privacy, and all of the other important rights that are stated in our “Bill of Rights”, including the 10th Amendment that says that: “If we forgot anything, government can’t do that either.”
Not only should we celebrate, “Independence Day” but also “Bill of Rights Day” on the 15th of December, when our “Bill of Rights” was ratified. That is our wedding anniversary of constitutional limited government when we became a Constitutional Republic that protects our God given inalienable rights.
The biggest of all of the lies that I have ever heard is that a Constitutional Convention, which I call the “Con-Con” for short, “can be limited to a single issue” which it can not and therefore a probable “runaway” “Con-Con” is the most likely result of such a convention.
Too lose such important legal documents as these will mean that we will no longer have a limited government constitutional republic and it would be a divorce from freedom.
This is the main reason why many states that have had resolutions that call for a con-con are recinding (repealing) their previous call for a con-con because they now know that Delegates to such a convention can and most likely will rewrite our entire constitution.
Please look at our website: noconcon.com and read about all of the reasons why we absolutely must oppose any attempt what so ever to have a con-con, including the resolutions of state legislatures that are currently rescinding the con-con. This website also names important organizations and distinguished individuals, including Justices on our Supreme Court that have opposed the Con-Con and their reasons why.
If members of Congress choose the Delegates, they may most likely sell Delegate seats to the highest bidders, such as those who belong the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Builderburgers and agencies of the United Nations.
Now I ask you which do you prefer: The original U.S. Constitution written by our founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson that protects our rights or a new constitution that most likely will be written by such elitist billionaires as George Soros, David Rockefeller, Former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, the Bushes and all of the others who consider themselves to be “Citizens of the World” who would like to take away our freedom in favor of an all powerful United Nations World Government that only grants special privileges to their special elitist friends instead of the rights of all of us.
For all those who work to protect our gun rights; how can we continue to argue that this is a right protected by the Second Amendment if this right is abolished and then no longer exists?
What will happen if we no longer have a First Amendment which protects our freedom of speech and where to pray and the what about those like me who blog on the internet or who just want to express an opinion?
Another very bad idea is now one to have a California State Constitutional Convention for the purpose of changing our State Constitution, if that happens then we will lose a great constitution that contains our right to petition for initiatives or a referendum initiated by we, the people.
It isn’t just about some sore losers who opposed Proposition 8, it could also cause us to lose the Proposition 13 protections causing many of us to lose our homes, if we can no longer afford to pay much higher property taxes.
At least with the income tax, those who have lost their jobs and no longer have an income don’t have to pay that tax, but what about property that we own and which government should not own, why do we have to lose that?
With a re-write of our state’s constitution, they could and most likely would eliminate the 2/3rd s safety majority margin that protects taxpayers in all of the other areas of taxes, thereby making socialist California too expensive to
live here!
These are the main reasons why “The United Organizations of Taxpayers” that was headed up by Howard Jarvis is totally opposed to any initiative to have a California Constitutional Convention!
Yes, there is an attempt to qualify an initiative that will place a call for a
California State Constitutional Convention on our ballot at a special election
that will take place shortly after they get the required number of signatures
and guess where the author of the California Con-Con Initiative is from?
He is from San Francisco, that left wing sanctuary city that is home to Nancy Pelosi, Mayor Gavin Newsome and Senator Diane Feinstein and he wants to create an oligarchy where 201 dictators out of 400 delegates will rewrite our California State Constitution their way!
The author of this initiative is Paul Currier, a graduate of the University of California in Berkley who majored in Political Science and who was a Community Organizer in the Campaign to Elect Barack Obama.
Perhaps such organizations as “ACORN” will help him gather enough signatures to qualify this initiative and nominate delegates.
Governor Schwarzenegger who wants this, even suggests that voters should no longer vote for the offices or Treasurer and Controller as if we, The people are the problem and not our elected government officials!
Who works for whom? If you employed servants who try to become your boss, wouldn’t you fire them? This is why I vote against the incumbents and always hope that new challengers win!
Therefore, we must tell every registered voter that we know, NOT to sign any
Initiative that would place this on the ballot and nip it in the bud BEFORE it gets placed on our ballot and before a multi-million dollar campaign promotes it!
The best way to defeat this plan is to make sure that it does not get enough signatures to qualify by getting everyone to refuse to sign either of these two petitions in the first place!
This is what I call: “Signing our freedom away!” and if a California Constitutional Convention abolishes the initiative and referendum process, there will be no way to ever repeal these acts!
Therefore, if you see any signature gatherers here or at any other Tea Party or Freedom Rally, please ask them to leave because these “Freedom Destroyers” are certainly not welcome here!
STOP voting for the
"lesser of the 2 evils"
that are bought and paid for.
Now is the time to support the
best candidates and you will
find them by looking at a third
party, not the "demonpublicans".
Don't be fooled by your U.S. Representative's friendly handshakes, smiles and that he remembered your name, it is how he votes on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives that really matter!
If you knew your Congressman's
voting record, you will be shocked
to learn about how he betrays us
every time he votes for a bad bill!
The vast majority of them have been
bought and paid for by special interest
lobbiests, multi-national corporations,
public employee unions and many are
committed Marxists that favor domination
by a totalitarian world government system!
Please do not let traitors become our
masters! We must throw them out
of office in 2010 by electing their
challengers before they get too
powerful and give away
America and our freedom!
