HB 6544 Assault Weapons Ban

Recently, the Michigan Legislature has decided to entertain the notion of House Bill 6544. Which would in part require ALL semi-automatic weapons purchased before the bill’s passing to be registered, and the ban on future sales of all “assault weapons” in Michigan. The bill defines an assault weapon as a semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following characteristics: A pistol grip or thumbhole stock, any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand, a folding or telescoping stock, a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel. This is nothing more than a further infringement upon our rights and a further push to disarm the people. They say it’s to prevent further death, then where is your ban on cigarettes? What about all the poisons in our food?

The Michigan Constitution Clearly states, “Every person has the right to keep and bear arms for the protection of himself and the state.” The Constitution of The United States of America states in the Second Amendment, “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” These leave no margin for “exceptions” such as pistol grips, shrouds, etc. These rights and amendments were afforded to us first by God and second by our founding fathers. The right to protect OUR life should that ever be necessary. The right to stand up to and remove a tyrannical government. The ability for We The People to stand for our lives, liberties, and freedoms. An armed populous is a dangerous populous, that is how they view it. Harking back to the days of the Revolutionary War, a citizen may have owned a ship fitted with FIFTEEN CANNONS, the same still applied. All in the name of protecting what was his and the country’s! This is our land we may protect it anyway that the People deem necessary.

The passing of House Bill 6544 would mean all but the end for all rights regarding firearms in the state of Michigan. Innocent law-abiding citizens would be at the mercy of their government with purchasing of hunting or self-defense weapons. The state of Michigan would have a catalog of every gun and gun owner in the state, which is the goal. This will make it that much easier for future confiscation. That is what this bill is designed to do, to ease people into handing over their defenses. The people of Michigan will be forced to register their firearms against their will every 5 years or face a felony charge and imprisonment of 5 years. They want this to take effect January 1, 2024, what will we do about it Michigan?

Halt the 2022 certification and start a full forensic audit

THE US TAXPAYER'S PARTY OF MICHIGAN FIGHTS FOR THE RIGHT OF INDIVIDUALS TO BE HEARD WITHOUT MANIPULATION, COERCION OR MALFEASANCE. VOTING IS A SACRED INSTITUTION RECOGNIZED BY FREE MEN AS THE PINNACLE OF LIBERTY WITHIN NATIONS. THIS CIVIL DUTY, CALLS ON THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP SECURE THE BALLOT CHAIN OF CUSTODY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE ELECTION PROCESS, THUS RETAINING THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE WHO UTILIZE IT, BRINGING ABOUT AN ORDERED UNASSAILABLE PATHWAY FROM AN INDIVIDUALS CASTED BALLOT TO THE ENUMERATED RESULT.

 

THE US TAXPAYER’S PARTY OF MICHIGAN BELIEVES THE CURRENT ELECTION CYCLE IS A REFLECTION OF A LONG-STANDING PROBLEM IN MICHIGAN’S ELECTION PROCESSES. THE PRESENT RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING ABSENTEE BALLOT HARVESTING AND HANDLING, THE USE OF FOREIGN BASED ELECTION EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE, THE QUESTIONABLE BENDING OF THE CHAIN OF CUSTODY, INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR OF ELECTION OFFICIALS PREVENTING THE LEGAL OBSERVATION OF ELECTION DAY ACTIVITIES AT CERTAIN POLLING LOCATIONS, THE PREVENTION OF OBSERVERS AT COUNTY BOARD OF CANVASSERS FROM TAKING PICTURES OR WRITING DOWN TABULATOR TAPE COUNTS, DEMANDS ATTENTION AND SCRUTINY.

 

THEREFORE, THE US TAXPAYER’S PARTY OF MICHIGAN STRONGLY REQUESTS THAT AN IMMEDIATE STAY ON THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTION CERTIFICATION AND SUBSEQUENT DESTRUCTION OF ALL MATERIALS SLATED FOR NOVEMBER 23, UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT AN INVESTIGATIVE COMMISSION CAN BE ESTABLISHED AND A FULL FORENSIC AUDIT PERFORMED.

 

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ENJOY A CONSTITUTIONAL PROMISE REGARDING THE PROTECTION OF THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT OF FREEDOM. WE MUST RESTORE THE CONFIDENCE OF OUR PEOPLE IN THE ELECTION PROCESS BY PROVIDING THEM AN OPEN, LUCID AND HONEST INVESTIGATION.

Where To From Here?

2022 has been a year of many opportunities, high inflation, shortages, the lingering Coronavirus debates, the United States Supreme Court Opinions, and a midterm election that leaves many wondering if the elections can ever be trusted again.

We as the US Taxpayers Party of Michigan have met many strong God-fearing patriots during this election cycle. They are looking for a way to bring God back into our governance. They see the loss of Liberties, they see the downward spiral of morality, yet they can’t seem to make the changes needed, to make the changes necessary to put us on the right track. The change that is necessary is Not voting the same old same old.

The “R’s” and “D’s” have very successfully spun the lies that if they don’t win, everything will collapse around us. Because of this Lie, we continually hear these God-fearing people say “I may not like for whom I’m voting, but I’ve got to vote for the lesser of two evils.”

Can we, The US Taxpayers Party of Michigan come together and be the Godly choice? Showing the good people of this state that they don’t have to vote for evil. Do we the US Taxpayers Party of Michigan have the solidarity and vision to bring our group together to provide this for them? I say Yes! What say You?

Though we were unable to get members elected we did provide the GOOD people of Michigan with choices. That of good God-fearing candidates.

Our numbers may seem lacking, but, the total number of votes that our candidates did receive shows a sign of good cheer. These numbers represent the good that is present. These are the ones that are ready and courageous enough to put their vote where their heart and souls have led them. They have seen thou the lies.

The next step? Find these people. Bring them in with us, they are looking for us. Build our organization with these people. With them and God’s help, we will build a party to be reckoned with. Now, others will be able to see and make a choice for good, not for the lesser of two evils.

It’s my belief, that the vast majority want to have good and true leaders, freedom, liberties, and the safe place to grow their families that the founders envisioned for this country.

Thank you to all that came forward as a candidate! You are the Good choice the golden grain of the harvest! I know, not all of us are the candidate type, but we all have a part to play.

Come, join us! As we stand shoulder to shoulder working with Providence, even an endeavor as large as this can be accomplished.
Our next meeting is December 3rd, 2022 at 10:00 am, location Main Street Café, 205 N. Clinton Ave., St. Johns, Michigan 48879.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Best Regards,
G. Truman Van Sickle,
Chairman: US Taxpayers Party of Michigan

US Taxpayers Party to Contest 2022 Mid-term Election Processes


Following the 2022 Mid-term Elections in the state of Michigan, a number of inconsistencies began to appear. These inconsistencies cropped up in a variety of areas, raising questions to the integrity of the election itself. As such, the US Taxpayers Party of Michigan, the state affiliate to the Constitution Party, has determined that until these inconsistencies have been resolved, none of the USTPM candidates will be conceding their races.

Yesterday, a number of individuals have come forward with claims of tabulators rejecting ballots, requiring voters to make multiple attempts to cast their ballots. There have been reports of loss of chain of custody with ballots, and there are inconsistencies in some of the data points. There has been some question regarding the number of registered voters in comparison with votes cast and candidates living outside of their registered districts.


“To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers lord us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.”
~ Thomas Jefferson



The US Taxpayers Party of Michigan, the state affiliate to the Constitution Party, believes in cutting the federal government down to constitutional size, and restoring the separation of powers, the checks and balances, and the systems of accountability postulated by the framers. We pledge to protect the rights and responsibilities guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Michigan State Constitution. As such, election integrity is a priority that must be preserved.

Due to the reported inconsistencies, the US Taxpayers Party of Michigan believes it is the duty and responsibility of the Party, and of it’s candidates, to question the 2022 Mid-term election and is calling for a statewide audit of the processes, data, and the subsequent results.

The Political Spirit, Idolatry, and our Identity

Many have mentioned that they could not understand why anyone would vote for a minor party. This is problematic for me because I have hope for them, however, if you don’t understand the importance of the minority, how can you manage being in the majority along with positions of perceived physical authority?

My concern is not ultimately the Democrats or the RINOs. My concern is a church who loves God and Country but not filling their role as salt and light to the world, standing on the authority granted us in the Great Commission. I am increasingly convinced that we created a void that was filled by evil. This happens very fast at the intersection of faith and civics. Leaning on our own understanding rather than seeking the Kingdom of Righteousness under the guise of pragmatism and the lesser of two evils is all too easy. It is fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Here are a few considerations…
1. The FIRST President, George Washington warned of the dangers of party politics in his farewell address. Think about that for a moment. He could have covered so many topics. Why was Washington concerned yet we are not? Should we have some trepidation when we are involved with party politics or does his warning mean nothing? We lack a defensive mindedness when it comes to faith and civics. We believe we can expose ourselves to evil because it’s “politics” and that is how it is in the political realm. The ends justify the means... The lesser of two evils is still evil. Where do we get the authority to accept evil for the sake of good?

2. Minor parties are looked at as insignificant, yet they strike fear into the “major” parties. So, which is it? Insignificant or significant? I maintain this is a perfect example of how the “minority” can control the narrative. One person standing in the face of tyranny but on God’s authority is a beautiful thing. God gets the Glory not man. It’s funny how in politics, we see that trade as a viable option and still expect good governance. Do you see the idolatry?

3. As a Christian American the importance of competition should be paramount. As a Christian our conscience should be triggered by the notion of embracing mob mentality and seeking to eliminate competition. We are Americans… we should understand, not be confounded.

4. We are in a crisis in America. We should have already sought the root cause for our current pain. I have. It’s not really the two party unibrow establishment that is the problem. Evil is defeated and they look bad on their own. The problem is that we are not comfortable embracing our “David” identity. We don’t even embrace our heritage of being “outgunned” and having no business seeking independence in the physical world. We seek the comfort of a two-party system and embrace “we” vs “they”, “good cop-bad cop” behavior. Being pragmatic gives our conscience much needed cover. We seek it! We want it! It allows us to engage at a limited exposure without going all in. We don’t like looking like a fool and make no mistake minor parties are looked at as fools. However, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. So, who’s the fool? The time for introspection has LONG passed.

5. Awakening will not happen if we don’t want it. The spirit of politics is a counterfeit idol that we choose over awakening.

6. The political ruling class seldom is attached to the “right” or as I would rather say, the “normal”. Respect should be naturally given for those called to stand in a vulnerable position, not mocking nor scorn.

7. The last year has brought accelerated tyranny. Both parties either participated in the expansion of tyranny or stood by as controlled opposition and let it happen. Covid Marxism, the failed election, and the attack on our kids are prime examples. It’s stunning when I hear prominent people wonder why anyone would step out of the political machine to stand in the minority. For me, I wonder why they are still there! The term I have for this behavior is Political Stockholm Syndrome.

8. It’s important to maintain a simple truth. Darkness cannot overcome light, light would need to be shut off. This is a very simple illustration of natural law and applies well to liberty vs tyranny.

9. Minor party votes are always considered as impacting only one party. This is a scarcity mentality that reflects poorly on our view of the Great Commission. Do you believe that standing for righteousness and truth will only attract the “saved”? What is our role at the intersection of faith and civics again? Are we seeking to spread Liberty that comes from Christ or are we seeking to hoard it for our own perceived comfort and perceived security?

At times it would be easy to just shut up and give in, however, it’s really not easier. We are on the clock at an incredible stage in world history. I hope this message is inspiring and that the reader will take some time with the Holy Spirit and hear what really needs to be said.

Blessings,
