Political Candidate Questionnaire
Dear Candidate,
I’m writing on behalf of SuperLiberty.com, a group taking pride in assuring we cast informed votes.
To do so, we must know if you agree with some of our core beliefs, America’s problem, and our goal.
Please help us by completing this questionnaire and returning it by email to Webmaster@superliberty.com.
(Please circle your answers below.)
1. Have you studied America’s Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States,
your State's Constitution and the Bill of Rights?
Yes No
2. If Yes, do you think you understand the spirit and intent of their authors?
Yes No
If Yes, please proceed.
3. Are you or have you ever been a member of the Council of Foreign Relations?
Yes No
4. The Declaration of Independence is our Nation's birth certificate and all of our Constitutions'
cornerstone. For lawful government to exist, it must comply with the principles and policies set
forth in these documents and the Bill of Rights when interpreted in the spirit and intent of
America’s founders.
Agree Disagree
5. Through the US Constitution, the States created the federal government as their AGENT. As
principals to the US Constitution and under the Law of Agency, our States possess the ultimate
authority and responsibility for the proper interpretation and implementation of the US
Constitution.
Agree Disagree
6. Art. IV, Sec. 4 of the US Constitution requires that each State have a Republican form of
government and be protected from invasion.
Agree Disagree
7. Treaties, a purview of the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, cannot lawfully
create law as Art. 1 Sec.1 of our US Constitution vested all legislative powers in the Congress.
Since the House has no authority over Treaties, any pretense to use them to create or modify our
laws is an unlawful act.
Agree Disagree
8. The US Constitution's 10th Amendment stating "the powers not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution .... are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people" provides
incontestable evidence that the only lawful powers of the Federal Government are those
specified in the US Constitution.
Agree Disagree
9. No elected or appointed official has - nor has had - any lawful authority to alter the intent of our
Nation’s founding fathers as set forth in our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill
of Rights. To be lawful, every Executive Order, Supreme Court decision, Presidential Decision
Directive, Constitutional Amendment, Proclamation, or other writing must be in the interest of
advancing the cause of life, liberty, and the happiness of the American people.
Agree Disagree
10.The U. S. Supreme Court was correct in saying:
a. "This Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a
treaty" and “ it would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the
Constitution, let alone alien to our Constitutional history and tradition to construe Article 6 as
permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without
observing Constitutional prohibitions.” (Reid vs Covert)
Agree Disagree
11. b. "a law repugnant to the Constitution is void." (Marbury vs Madison)
Agree Disagree
12.c. "Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or
legislation which would abrogate them." (Miranda vs Arizona)
Agree Disagree
13.d. “whatever the outer limits of the (states) Sovereignty may be, one thing is clear; the Federal
Government may not compel the States to enact or administer a Federal regulatory
program....Where Congress exceeds its authority relative to the States, departure from the
constitutional plan cannot be ratified by ‘consent’ of State officials.” New York vs. United
States112 S. Ct 2408 (1992)
Agree Disagree
14.States are free to exercise the doctrines of “interposition” and “nullification” and reject Federal
legislation with which they disagree. (see South Carolinas 1832 Ordinance of Nullification)
Agree Disagree
15.The 11/22/1994 30 governors' allegation saying "Federal action has exceeded the clear bounds
of its jurisdiction under the Constitution and thus violated rights guaranteed the people" is true;
amply supported by evidence; adequately defines America’s problem and means those
responsible for the action and its perpetuation are guilty of crimes falling under Title 18 of the
U. S. Criminal code.
Agree Disagree
16.Our states are, in law, the principals to the US Constitution; that our problem stems from state
legislatures failing to enforce the provisions of the Constitution; that it is through them that a
state may act in its highest sovereign capacity in dealing with the unconstitutional “Federal
action” and it will be state action that restores our US Constitution and satisfies our goal, if it is
ever to be restored.
Agree Disagree
17.Item - On August 30, 1973, a United Press International news release said: “A special Senate
subcommittee, after a painstaking computer search of the statue books, concluded the United
States since 1933 has been operating under emergency rule, conferring near-authoritarian
powers on its presidents.” The “special subcommittee” alluded to was the Senate Special
Committee on the termination of the National Emergency. It reportedly “discovered 470 major
provisions of Federal law giving presidents ‘an enormous--seemingly expanding and never-
ending---range of emergency powers” and said “This vast range of powers, taken together,
confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal constitutional
processes... For 40 years (now over 75) freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by
the US Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by
states of emergency.”
Will you support action to terminate the emergency and to reinstate our US Constitution as the
supreme law of the land?
Yes No
18.Item - ART. 1, SEC 8:5 of our US Constitution gave CONGRESS the power “to coin money,
regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin...” Congress abrogated this responsibility by
transferring it to a deceitfully named, privately owned bank known as the Federal Reserve
System (FED) in 1913. Rather than monetize wealth as intended by the Constitution, the FED
chose to monetize debt as verified by an 11/1/82 letter from the Dept. of Treasury saying “the
actual creation of money always involves the extension of credit by private commercial banks.”
I.E., what we call ‘money’ and use as a medium of exchange isn’t really money which - by
definition - must be a ‘storehouse’ of value. When asked where the ‘money’ needed to pay the
interest on the borrowed ‘money’ was to be found, the Dept. of Treasury said in a 1/6/1993
letter that “money for paying the interest on borrowed money comes from the same source as
other money comes from.”
Under this system of ‘money’ (debt) creation, Americans have amassed a public and private
debt in excess of $50 trillion and face about another $45 trillion in unfunded obligations. The
total ‘money’ supply with which to meet these obligations is about $6.1 trillion. Obviously, they
cannot be met under existing monetary policy. Due to this unconstitutional monetary policy, our
states are in economic turmoil and Americans are - and every generation to come will be - in
economic bondage. Clearly, the way in which our medium of exchange is created must be
changed.
Will you support a responsible effort to do so?
Yes No
19.Item - Thirty governors pledged "to restore to the States and the people the prerogatives and
freedoms guaranteed them under the US Constitution." Will you act in support of this pledge?
Yes No
