The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R.

11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws. It also divides the m ilitia into three distinct and separate entities.

** SPREAD THIS TO EVERYONE ** The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, th e unorganized militia and the regular army. The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. Al l members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Am endment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy. The Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attaind er and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The President of the United States has zero authority without violating the Cons titution to call the National Guard to serve outside of their State borders. The National Guard Militia can only be required by the National Government for l imited purposes specified in the Constitution (to uphold the laws of the Union; to suppress insurrection and repel invasion). These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call upon the N ational Guard. Attorney General Wickersham advised President Taft, "the Organized Militia (the National Guard) can not be employed for offensive warfare outside the limits of the United States." The Honorable William Gordon, in a speech to the House on Thursday, October 4, 1 917, proved that the action of President Wilson in ordering the Organized Militi a (the National Guard) to fight a war in Europe was so blatantly unconstitutiona l that he felt Wilson ought to have been impeached. During the war with England an attempt was made by Congress to pass a bill autho rizing the president to draft 100,000 men between the ages of 18 and 45 to invad e enemy territory, Canada. The bill was defeated in the House by Daniel Webster on the precise point that C ongress had no such power over the militia as to authorize it to empower the Pre sident to draft them into the regular army and send them out of the country. The fact is that the President has no constitutional right, under any circumstan ces, to draft men from the militia to fight outside the borders of the USA, and not even beyond the borders of their respective states. Today, we have a constitutional LAW which still stands in waiting for the legisl ators to obey the Constitution which they swore an oath to uphold. Charles Hughes of the American Bar Association (ABA) made a speech which is cont ained in the Appendix to Congressional Record, House, September 10, 1917, pages 6836-6840 which states: "The militia, within the meaning of these provisions of the Constitution is

distinct from the Army of the United States." In these pages we also find a stat ement made by Daniel Webster, "that the great principle of the Constitution on t hat subject is that the militia is the militia of the States and of the General Government; and thus being the militia of the States, there is no part of the Co nstitution worded with greater care and with more scrupulous jealousy than that which grants and limits the power of Congress over it." "This limitation upon the power to raise and support armies clearly establis hes the intent and purpose of the framers of the Constitution to limit the power to raise and maintain a standing army to voluntary enlistment, because if the u nlimited power to draft and conscript was intended to be conferred, it would hav e been a useless and puerile thing to limit the use of money for that purpose. Conscripted armies can be paid, but they are not required to be, and if it h ad been intended to confer the extraordinary power to draft the bodies of citize ns and send them out of the country in direct conflict with the limitation upon the use of the militia imposed by the same section and article, certainly some r estriction or limitation would have been imposed to restrain the unlimited use o f such power." The Honorable William Gordon Congressional Record, House, Page 640 - 1917
