Section 3. Findings The People of (City Name) find that:
1.. The City Council of this city is bound by oath and affirmation to support the Constitution of the United States and, pursuant to that oath and Article VI of the United States Constitution, to obey only treaties "made under the Authority of the United States." 2.. The United Nations Charter is not a treaty "made under the Authority of the United States," but an illegitimate and unconstitutional international constitution, having never been submitted to, nor ratified by, the People of the United States, as required by Declaration of Independence, the charter of our nation. 3.. The United States government has absolutely no constitutional authority to participate in any United Nations program or activity, and United Nations personnel and facilities have absolutely no legal right to be within the geographic boundaries of the United States. 4.. The Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court of the United States, in violation of their sworn constitutional duties under Article VI of the United States Constitution, have utterly failed to protect the American people from the United Nations' usurpation of the sovereignty of the American people, including the sovereign powers of the people of this city. 5.. The City Council, bound by its oath to support the Constitution of the United States and by its duties under Article VI of the United States Constitution, must protect the sovereignty of this city and of its people, and to that end, 1.. No citizen of this city shall be required to serve the United Nations in any capacity. 2.. No United Nations personnel or facilities may be present or may be located within the geographic limits of this city. 3.. No United Nations funded programs, studies or other United Nations sponsored or funded activities may take place within the geographic limits of this city. 4.. No city funds may be invested in, nor may any city personnel participate with, any business, government agency or other entity which supports or cooperates in any way with the United Nations. 6.. The People of this city have a right to know about the unconstitutional and unlawful activities of the United Nations, as they impact on this community, and the City Council has a duty to its people to increase citizen awareness of the United Nations through community, school, and civic educational programs.
