(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)

 

Whereas, Arizonans, in deep respect of the United States of America and our constitutional republic that secures the blessings of liberty to us and our posterity, give complete support to California's secession; and

Whereas, in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands that have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, that they should declare the causes that impel them to the separation; and

Whereas, California's form of government has become destructive of these ends, and it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its power in such a form as seems most likely to effect their happiness; and

Whereas, with hope of mutual happiness, Arizona supports California in its endeavor to leave the Union; and

Whereas, California's obstruction of the constitutional laws of this republic and its efforts to obstruct federal law are a continued threat to the citizens for its efforts to promote sanctuary policies for the sake of illegal naturalization of foreigners, refusing to recognize the rule of law and the constitutional and legal rights of citizens.

Therefore

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring:

That the Members of the Legislature, who support our constitutional republic, fully support the secession of California from the constitutional republic of the United States of America, which will serve to make both Arizona and California happy.
