TAKE NOTICE: Every Committeeman should Register with their County Militia. There is no conflict of interest for Committeemen and Militiamen becoming a Jury Administrator.
These are the uniform rules for all committees for New York State, Established on June 2nd 2012 AD, in a bipartisan effort in honor of George Washington, at Kingston New York attended by and unanimously passed by all elected committeemen in each respective party, and unanimously ratified by all State Committeemen in each respective party on the same day.
These Uniform Rules were written in mind to prevent party bosses from seizing control, therefore we strongly suggest that each state/county addopt thes uniform rules and add to them as necessary.
Our Heritage is Common Law (rule by the mind of our creator) and our inheritance is Liberty. The Committeeman is the voice of the people which "is the consent of the governed". Tyranny is always just one generation from Liberty. Committeemen as the guardians of our Constitution, who's prime directive is to secure Common Law and watch for the stealthy encroachments by civil statutes, have a duty (which is also the duty of all Americans) to understand common law and our judicial system, failure to do so will result in our loss of our heritage and inheritance for ourselves and our posterity. Therefore it is imperative that a prime focus of the committeemen is to assure that our schools (elementary, secondary and college) teach and instill our heritage and all things that defines, expresses and preserves the fruit of our heritage being Liberty by the Grace of God and not man.
“The safety and prosperity of nations ultimately and Essentially depend on the protection and blessing of Almighty God; and the national acknowledgment of this truth is not only an indispensable duty, which the people owe to him, but a Duty whose natural influence is favorable to the Promotion of that morality and piety, without which social happiness cannot exist, nor the blessings of a free government be enjoyed.” - John Adams
1) A certified copy of these rules shall be filed at the NYSBOE and shall be made available to all committeemen and the general public, upon demand
2) The purpose of party rules is to organize the committees, not to impose power or control.
3) Amendments to these rules may be made by popular vote of a quorum among all elected committeemen in NYS, and ratified by two thirds of a quorum of the elected State Committee.
4) A quorum is the majority of elected committeemen on any given committee.
5) The general committee is the county committee
6) The receiving of favors for a vote is a crime it is the responsibility of the general committee to report to the authorities any crime whereas a vote has been exchanged for favors. Anyone caught receiving a favor for performing a duty shall be brought up before the entire general committee to discuss what action should be taken and follow the process of law for an elected official to be removed, see NYS Constitution Article XIII §5.
7) All Article 2 sub committees shall be abolished as soon as practical and memory of the Washington clause shall forever remain in these rules as in the 1909 NY Election Law §21 as freedoms gate keeper.
8) All meetings shall start with prayer (suggested prayer a psalm or part of a psalm or proverb) and the pledge.
9) All monies collected for the party will be sent to the State Committee for deposit into a general funds account. An annual accounting shall be posted on the official committeemen website within 30 days of the last state meeting of the year. The monies will be distributed as follows: (1) Funding of an informational and organizational web site the cost of which will be equally shared among all parties participating in this non-partisan effort. (2) Any and all expenses (including traveling expenses) incurred by and approved by the state committee. (3) All remaining monies will be distributed to each of the 62 General Committees (aka county) in proportion to their number of election districts. (4) All General Committees (aka county) shall give an annual accounting to the State Committee which shall be posted on the official committeemen website within 30 days of receiving the accounting. (5) Monies shall be used to pay expenses and to educate our communities in the committeeman process, and the constitution. Monies shall not be used for politicking.
10) Ramming votes through shall not be tolerated, the chairman is to pause before ruling and ask if there is any discussion.
11) Removing of an Officer - Any officer may be removed (Chairman, Co-chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, etc) at any time by a majority vote of the committee (quorum). All officers are elected by majority vote of the committee (quorum).
12) Recall which can be initiated, when sufficient voters sign a petition, has a history dating back to the ancient Athenian democracy. There exists nor can exist a New York statute preventing the peoples right for recall, the people posses this right and it is recorded as the 10th Amendment. The right of the people to elect and dismiss their representatives at their pleasure cannot be questioned by the legislators who serve at the pleasure of the People. Therefore it is the duty of the committeeman to unite and petition within their election districts for the removal of any elected official who defies the constitutional will of the People. A rule of thumb for recall is 12% of the votes cast in the last election being recalled, this is an easy task for the committeemen if we are united in a recall to bring our servant government into subjection.
13) The General Committee will make provisions for and take attendance for a course on the Constitution to be held whenever the General committee deems necessary, at minimum once a year. Colleges and High Schools are the ideal locations. Elected committeemen that have not taken these courses should be encouraged to come, it is their duty to understand our Common Law Heritage. The general committee shall open this event to the public but if seats are limited committeemen and potential committeemen shall receive first preference.
14) Committeeman website ... in a bi-partisan effort we will maintain a web site that will truly inform and educate all voters. The site will define all elective offices, site proper titles, and description of the office's responsibilities with detailed information as to appointments and their responsibilities. The site will report on all elections and post a 500 word essay written by the candidates along with a link to their website for further information on the candidate. The site will receive and post live information received by committeemen from the polls as the count is reported. This live procedure will be witnessed by a State committeeman of every party, and will be open to the public. This site will make available to the public all information gathered by the BOE's free of charge. Including party rules, NYSBOE policies and procedures, maps, walking lists, instructions on how to fill out a designating petition and proper titles.

COUNTY COMMITTEE CHARTER
AUTHORITY
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.” - Declaration of Independence
“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” - Preamble to the United States Constitution
“If anyone has been dispossessed without the legal judgment of his peers, from his lands, castles, franchises, or from his right, we will immediately restore them to him; and if a dispute arise over this, then let it be decided by the five and twenty Jurors of whom mention is made below in the clause for securing the peace. Moreover, for all those possessions, from which anyone has, without the lawful judgment of his peers, been disseized or removed, by our elected or appointed servants, we will immediately grant full justice therein.” Magna Carter 52
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury” Bill of Rights Amendment V
“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.” Bill of Rights Amendment X
PURPOSE AND HISTORY
The purpose of the County Committee is primarily humanitarian, protect defend and support the Constitution for the United States of America and to assist the Jury Administrators in securing the rights of the people during troubling times.
The County Committee, historically speaking, empowered the people at the grass roots to return control of their local government to the People. The independent grass roots County Committee and the independent grassroots County Common Law Grand Administrations are part of a National plan by the People to take back their government.
The Common Law Grand Jury is working in the Federal Courts exposing the enemies of Liberty both foreign and domestic in an effort to collapse their wall of resistance and take back our Judiciary. The County Committees are needed to fill the power vacuum, created by the draining of the swamp, with “the People” and thereby taking back control of our political process at the grassroots level. Both the County Committee and the County Grand Jury Administrations is the process by which We the People consent to government, it is our unalienable right.
In 1774, the various Committees of Safety that in 1789 morphed into the Committeeman, called for the First Continental Congress. Delegates to that Congress went from town, to county, to Provincial level Committees, before being selected to go to Philadelphia. In Western Massachusetts, Committees of Safety forced the resignations of rouge judges appointed under the Massachusetts Government Act (1774).
The “Committee of Safety” is the method that our founding fathers used to take control of their local governments. These Committees of Safety built the nation we inherited and now losing to tyrants today. We the People through the true elected Committeeman at the Grass Roots will take control of our local, state and federal governments by simply requiring them to obey the “Supreme Law of the Land” and thereby perform their Constitutional duties.
GOAL
The goal of the Committeeman is to maintain safety in the community by requiring our servants in government to obey the Constitution and the Constitutional Chain of Command during times of peace and during a National Emergency, whereas the Peoples’ Bill of Rights will be protected and secured by our only Elected Constitutional Law Enforcer, the County Sheriff.
FEMA has engaged a national "readiness exercise" under the code name of REX 84 which called for the suspension of the Constitution and the turning of complete control of all local governments over to FEMA while using UN troops to keep law and order during a National Emergency. FEMA's plan leaves out the most important part of rebuilding America, We the People and a Free and Independent Local Government! The end-results of REX 84 is a NWO America without our 1789 Constitution. We the People through the County Committees will prevent this by informing and educating our elected and appointed servants within our local governments. Our government is still intact; it’s just shrouded by the veil of corporatism.
OBJECTIVES
The County Committee has Four Objectives:
1) Nominating Constitutional candidates onto the ballot to fill political vacancies.
2) Monitoring the elections to ensure fair elections.
3) Insure community preparedness concerning chain of command during a local or national emergency.
4) During a local or national emergency if there is no Jury administration the committee of safety is to oversee and insure that all positions of power treat people with compassion and that rights are not violated.
5) During a national emergency the County Committee is responsible for assisting the settling of displaced people.
6) The County Committee is responsible for the safety of all people within their county.
COMMUNICATIONS
Each County Committee should seek out at least one HAM Radio operator. HAM operators become so because they are already in it for emergency preparedness so they should be easily approachable with our plan.
We the People of [Your] State [Your] County Committee on __________ ____, 20__ through adopt this Charter.

Approaching Local Government with a:
COUNTY COMMITTEE PREPAREDNESS PLAN
FOR A NATIONAL EMERGENCY
The purpose of the following plan is to create uniformity in order to achieve a “Viable National Plan” to preserve, protect and restore our American way of life: Each county will need to decide for themselves the details on how they can proceed in the keeping of the following uniform plan which is their duty as a compassionate and sensible People to prepare for. This plan should be the Committee of Safety’s first order of business after electing a board. Next, meet with the Sheriff and then with town boards to discuss the plan. A copy of this plan should be distributed after every Committee of Safety presentation.
If you google “Your State Your County Emergency Preparedness Plan” you will find that your county is prepared for the following emergencies:
1) Storms
2) Floods
3) Power Outages
4) Public Health Emergencies
Local governments are not prepared for some national emergencies which have been intentionally left to FEMA and Homeland Security, such as a monetary collapse which will take “ALL CONTROL” away from local governments and therefore the People. In such an emergency, the electrical grid will go down, normal communications will cease, the movement of all products will come to a halt, there will be food and water shortages and chaos will rule the streets. People will be dying on a biblical scale unless We the People take control through our local governments. The federal government cannot manage this type of an emergency without controlling the People by force at the “end of a barrel of a gun” (Mao), therein, their need for “foreign troops” on American soil.
FEMA’s plans for these types of Emergencies are as documented below:
1) Presidential Directive Number 54 signed by President Reagan in April 1984 provided for FEMA to engage in a secret national "readiness exercise" under the code name of REX 84. The plan called for the suspension of the Constitution, turning control of the government over to FEMA, appointment of military commanders to run state and local governments and the declaration of Martial Law. The plan also advocated the rounding up and transferring to "assembly centers or relocation camps" of at least 21 million Americans in the event of massive rioting or disorder.
2) Executive Order #10995: Seizure of all communications media in the United States.
3) Executive Order #10997: Seizure of all electric power, fuels and minerals, public and private.
4) Executive Order #10999: Seizure of all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control of highways, seaports and waterways.
5) Executive Order #11000: Seizure of all American people for work forces under federal supervision including the splitting-up of families if the government finds it necessary.
6) Executive Order #11001: Seizure of all health, education and welfare facilities, public and private.
7) Executive Order #11002: Empowered the postmaster general to register all men, women and children in the United States.
8) Executive Order #11003: Seizure of all airports and aircraft.
9) Executive Order #11004: Seizure of all housing and financial authorities to establish forced relocation since designated areas will be abandoned as "unsafe".
10) Executive Order #11005: Seizure of all railroads, inland waterways and storage facilities, public and private.
11) Executive Order #12919: Signed June 3, 1994, by President Clinton encompasses all the above executive orders.
12) On March 16, 2012 President Obama signed Executive Order 13603, calling for National Defense Resources Preparedness, which puts our nation in a permanent state of martial law that only needs to be activated by the President, whenever (s)he should choose to do so.
In order for the federal government to maintain control of a free People, they would need to govern with an iron fist and use foreign troops to do so. The question that demands an answer is, why doesn’t the federal government work with local authorities creating a plan that utilizes America’s most precious resource “We the People” to take control and maintain law and order? Neighborly compassion will not be part of their initiative. Tyrants and foreign enemies will take advantage of our weakness, and America as we know it will be lost. America will be unrecognizable and unalienable rights will be lost forever because the nature of an unchecked government is “once it exercises power, it never peacefully relinquishes that power back to the People”.
We the People are not helpless. Common sense dictates that the People take control of their own lives and defend their own communities. Any plan that takes that power from the People is a destructive and devious plan, and certainly not American. Therefore, “We the People” through the “County Committees” across America need to prepare an outlined plan that works with our local governments that already have all the necessary local emergency preparedness services in place along with virtually all the manpower necessary to achieve compassionate control of our communities namely, We the People!
We the People through the “County Committees” can and will maintain compassionate law and order thousands of times better than any foreign troops could. The last thing we need or will tolerate is being ruled over by foreigners. We the People will only permit governing by our consent.
Through the creation of “County Committees”, controlled by grassroots in all 3133 counties across America, We the People are methodically mobilizing for the likeliness of a “monetary collapse” in order to bring America, under the Constitution for the United States of America, back on its feet as swiftly as possible and with minimum injury of the unalienable rights of We the People, something the federal government can never achieve.
People living in towns and villages will be able to survive on the resources within their counties if properly planned for and managed. Considering that all counties are organizing “County Committees” (which will sustain humanitarian mindfulness), bartering between the counties can and will occur quickly and food, water, electric, medical supplies and fuel can be comfortably rationed out levelheadedly as we the People diligently work together to restore and protect America according to the emergency.
The biggest problem America faces in such an emergency is in the cities. It is logically presumed that most people will leave the cities in search of food, water and shelter and therefore “County Committees” working with their local governments need to prepare for the receiving of these people. This will prevent chaos from ruling our highways and byways.
America has 18,443 towns and 297 cities. According to the 2016 censes estimates there are 323.7 million people in America and 90,492,150 of them live in American cities, that’s a ratio of about 2.5:1. Many city people will go to friends and relatives in these towns. Some will remain in the cities as they work through their local challenges.
Therefore, a reasonable ratio might be 8:1 meaning that each town will need to prepare for a 20% temporary increase in their population. As towns reach whatever quota they believe they can handle “County Committees” can develop plans for transporting the overflow of People to other towns whose humanitarian duties are the same. Therefore, each town will need to prepare emergency shelter using vacant housing, motels, auditoriums, churches and etc. There is no reason for turning away People and thereby causing people to act desperately to survive, when we can help each other.
The following is a framework that every Committee of Safety once formed needs to develop and act upon quickly along with the creation of a (sub) Committee of Correspondence necessary for the communications and cooperation between counties and states necessary for the success of our survival physically, morally and nationally as a Common Law Republic.
FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS - Begin by choosing groups in your area that you feel may be interested in becoming Committeemen. These might include liberty groups, veterans groups with benefit issues, school groups that may be concerned with the current taxes or curriculum, e.g. Common Core, and groups that have a wide base in the community such a firemen etc.
Contact members in these groups to get a minimum of 6 people committed to as many as are willing to participate for a gathering at a convenient location and date.
If you only expect a few people, you might have them gather in your home, firehouse, or other public building. If you expect a larger number of people, public libraries normally have a conference room available and usually have a projector and possibly speakers that you can use with a laptop computer.
SECOND - Define the purpose of the Committeeman as needed in your community; this will vary in each community.
THIRD - Discuss the following issues establishing a friendly and positive relationship with the County Sheriff and local government and make resolutions. [Add new issues after establishing the following first. Do not address any concerns like Agenda 21, Common Core, etc. with local governments until you develop a positive relationship first.]
FORTH - Meet with Sheriff and discuss with him that We the People have reinstituted the elected “Committeeman” because we are concerned with local government adherence to the Constitution thus making sure that our county and town governments are prepared for a national disaster and that we are approaching it constitutionally. Remember as Committeemen to whom the Sheriff owes his job to, our agenda will not be refused.
FIFTH - Meet with the County Militia and make plans to partnership with them in an emergency.
Give the Sheriff a copy of the book “Consent of Government” which can be purchased at www.nationallibertyalliance.org.
Assure the Sheriff that we know that our county has professional emergency services such as town fire departments and rescue teams; town, city and state police departments and most importantly a County Sheriff who is the “Chief Administrator and Law Enforcer” of his county. The county and towns have well planned protocols and integrated communications in place to deal with disasters such as storms, power outages, floods, public health emergencies, aviation disasters and chemical and biological emergencies. Therefore, we are not planning to reinvent the wheel or interfere with their professional decisions and protocols. We in fact completely and totally trust and support their expertise and competence.
The one thing that We the People are concerned about that has not yet been addressed, is the “Constitutional Chain of Command” during a “National Disaster” such as a “Monetary Collapse”. This issue cannot wait until a disaster occurs and no viable plan concerning a lawful Constitutional Chain of Command is in effect.
For whatever reason the federal government has plans to “un-constitutionally” seize control of local governments and establish martial law [as unconstitutional presidential directives addressed above makes clear] which will not prevent anarchy, but fuel it. As addressed earlier FEMA engaged a national "readiness exercise" under the code name of REX 84 which called for the suspension of the Constitution and turning complete control of all local governments over to FEMA while using UN troops to keep law and order and not We the People. There exists “NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY” for the federal government to suspend the constitution, seize control of State and local governments and turn over control to the “military” under martial law.
Amendment X 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.
The Constitution provides for the People under local government control to maintain law and order under posse comitatus. The People need to work under the authority of local government to compassionately help their neighbors in times of crisis. If the federal government wants to help by sending aid we will accept it.
NEW YORK STATE CONSTITUTION ARTICLE XII [Defense; militia] Section 1 The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia.
Posse Comitatus Act (1878) - Posse comitatus means "the power or force of the county." The term refers to a doctrine of ancient English common law authorizing a sheriff to summon the assistance of the able-bodied male population above the age of 15. These appointed special deputies would aid the sheriff in keeping the peace, executing writs, quelling riots, capturing felons, and otherwise enforcing the laws. Unlike the organized militia, a posse was usually gathered as needed. The practice continued in the United States, as the posse became necessary in American colonial and frontier tradition.
America has 18,443 towns and 297 cities with an estimated 323.7 million people; the federal government cannot possibly compassionately help all of We the People. All Americans “NEED” to come together and work together this is the way of a free and moral People. We the People will “NOT” go to FEMA camps, we will remain in our communities and work with our local Sheriff and local government authorities to help and care for our family, friends and neighbors as we return stability to our communities.
SIXTH - Meet with our local Town and City Boards to address the same issues we shared with our Sheriff.
RESOLUTIONS
