Winter Welcome Back Rally in Montgomery,AL

The Alabama Patriots Coalition are planning a State wide "Winter Welcome Back Rally" in Montgomery, AL. We are working with our Fellow Tea Party Organizers around the State. Our State wide goal is to encourage Legislator's to pass a State Sovereignty Resolution during the 2010 Session!! We will have the Rally January 19, 2010 on the steps of the State House . The Rally will start at Noon and last till 1 p.m. We are having it in January due to the fact that if this gets passed it must go thru the House, Senate, and the Governor. The normal Session usually only last 105 days!! Here are some other reasons why we feel this Rally is needed:

This will be the 3rd time this State Sovereignty Resolution had been introduced in the House by Rep. Mac Gipson. It has been held up in the past by the RULES Committee. Not only does this Resolution mention our 9th and 10th amendment rights but, it also mentions our 2nd amendment rights as well (The Right To Bear Arms). Scott Beason in the Senate also submitted one in the Senate last session it was held up in committee as well. Clearly this Resolution isn't going to pass itself especially if the Rules Committee will not let in onto the Floor for a vote!!!!! We must unite as a State and show our support!! We will also be supporting the Health Care Amendment which will have to pass the legislative process then go before a vote of the people of Alabama. It has not been introduced before. It should be introduced in the House and Senate as well. This Amendment will make sure that no matter what Washington passes Alabama citizens will be able to choose who provides their Health Care!! Also, there will be a Firearm/Ammo. Bill introduced in the House and Senate. This bill is like the one Montana passed earlier this year. It will exempt certain firearms, Ammunition, and firearm accessories made inside Alabama from Federal Regulation under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

We also plan to have a "Special Meeting" with Representatives & Senators at 11 a.m. We are targeting the key players in the legislation process. We hope they decide to attend!! We ask that anyone getting the petitions signed please contact your Congressmen/women and set up a meeting to turn your petitions in. You can do it the day of the rally or schedule your meeting before the session starts in your area.


We feel this is an important way that Alabama can send a message to Washington D.C. Hands off our States Rights!! The intent of this Rally is Alabama's way of serving notice and demand to the Federal Government to cease and desist any and all activities outside the scope of their constitutionally-delegated powers. This is nothing radical, (We are NOT promoting Secession!) just the States legal way of reminding the Federal Government what is plainly stated in the U.S. Constitution!

Although we hope our efforts to stop Cap & Trade, The Health Care Bill, and SEVERAL other important Bills/Treaties will be won on a Federal level.
We know that should one or more of the above pass, we then will rely on our State to Defend our God given rights!! Alabama is OUR 2nd line of defense! Several States have already passed similar legislation and other States are in the process!

This Rally will give our State Legislators a chance to meet and see us!! We want our message to be clear!! Save Our State!!!!

If you share these concerns please join us at "The Winter Welcome Back Rally" !! Let's stand together and get this important piece of Legislation passed THIS Session!!
