Constitutional Amendments
We propose adopting the following Amendments to the Constitution:
(1) REPEAL PERSONAL INCOME TAX
We favor the repeal of the 16th Amendment. This would abolish the income tax. Good riddance. The Constitution permitted the Federal government to raise revenue via tariffs and duties. We should return to that system of taxation.

(2) HEALTH FREEDOM
We favor the passage of an Amendment that would guarantee every American the right to access ANY form of health treatment that they choose.

(4) ELIMINATE CORPORATE "PERSONHOOD"
The rights established by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America are exclusively the rights of living, breathing humans, citizens of this country or residing therein. No corporation or other type of association or organization can have the status of a “legal person” and thus cannot derive rights from such status. These organizations have no permanent, constitutionally protected rights.

(-) GUN CONTROL
We advocate an awareness of the power of the 2nd Amendment.
We would like to point out that any Federal law limiting gun ownership is in clear conflict with the 2nd Amendment. The only legal way for the Federal government to restrict gun ownership is to repeal the 2nd Amendment. Any federal laws restricting gun ownership are in conflict with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Gun control, in the absence of any change to the Constitution, is an issue that can only be legally addressed on a state and local level.

We agree with the 2016 Constitutional Party Platform:
"The sole purpose of government, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, is to secure our unalienable rights given us by our Creator. When Government grows beyond this scope, it is usurpation, and liberty is compromised."
We agree with the 2016 Republican Party Platform:
"We believe in the Constitution as our founding document."
"The Constitution gives the federal government very few powers, and they are specifically enumerated; the states and the people retain authority over all unenumerated powers."
"Every violation of state sovereignty by federal officials is not merely a transgression of one unit of government against another; it is an assault on the liberties of individual Americans. Hence the promise of the Tenth Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
"We pledge to restore the proper balance and vertical separation of powers between the federal government and state governments — the governments closest to, and most reflective of, the American people. We encourage states to reinvigorate their traditional role as the laboratories of democracy, propelling the nation forward through local and state innovation."
"We will revisit existing laws that delegate too much authority to regulatory agencies and review all current regulations for possible reform or repeal."
"We reaffirm the Constitution’s fundamental principles: limited government, separation of powers, individual liberty, and the rule of law."
"We believe our constitutional system — limited government, separation of powers, federalism, and the rights of the people — must be preserved uncompromised for future generations."
"We believe that people are the ultimate resource — and that the people, not the government, are the best stewards of our country’s God-given natural resources."
"This means returning to the people and the states the control that belongs to them. It is the control and the power to make their own decisions about what’s best for themselves and their families and communities."
"We intend to restore the treaty system specified by the Constitution: The president negotiates agreements, submits them to the Senate, with ratification requiring two-thirds of the senators present and voting."
"All international executive agreements and political arrangements entered into by the [President] must be deemed null and void as mere expressions of the current president’s preferences. Those which are in the national interest but would traditionally have been made by treaty must be abrogated, renegotiated as treaties, and transmitted to the Senate for its advice and consent as required by the Constitution. The United States will withdraw from all agreements and arrangements failing those standards."
