Know How to Find Your State’s Laws!

Whether you’re applying for a license, were a victim of a crime, just trying to improve or maintain your home or business, government employees/officials get involved. Since, most unfortunately do NOT know the laws pertaining to their official duties, YOU must be prepared with the knowledge in that area. So, this week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to study your state legislature’s website, so you will be better equipped to find certain laws/chapters when something comes up.

What are your legislators up to? This week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to find an app or website that makes it easier for you to contact your legislators. We’re all busy, but we must do our part to instruct our representatives.

When a new SCOTUS decision comes out, do you READ it yourself? Or do you read only summaries or take someone else’s word for it?  It’s time we STOP being ignorant and dependent! So, this week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to read the official summaries (“syllabus”) of EACH new case, and for any topics that interest or involve you, read the FULL decision for YOURSELF! Will it take time and patience? Yes, but Freedom doesn’t come easy!

This week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to find out all the offices and ballot proposals that will be on your ballot this year. #VoteInformed

Given the appellate Court case update given yesterday, this week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to help encourage The Institute for Justice to get involved in the Henrys’ Ormond Beach case. Go to https://ij.org/ and share the link https://RestoreFreedomKH.com/OBCase

How much do you really know about appeals? You or a loved one can find yourself needing to appeal a case in the blink of an eye – especially a case brought against you! This week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to download this Appeal Handbook, and study at least the Table of Contents and the Glossary: RestoreFreedomKH.com/of68  It’s written for Florida Appeals, but many of the main concepts and terms are the same across the US.

Relating to this week’s T or F topic, this week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to determine what your state’s procedures are when you want to appeal, but don’t have the automatic “right” to do so. Check your State’s Constitution and court rules for terms like “application for leave to appeal” or “appeal by leave” or petition for “writ of Certiorari” to appeal.

Last week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge was to read the portion of your state’s constitution on local government…but how well do you really know it? This week, we challenge you to read it again! We guarantee you’ll get something new out of it this time.

This week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to volunteer for a state or local candidate for 2 hours this month. We’re all busy, but even those of us balancing careers and homeschooling and other responsibilities can find some way to volunteer for 2 hrs this month. You might not think 2 hrs can have an impact on a state or local campaign, but it could be the difference between a successful campaign event or one that falls flat, having several supporters walking with you in a parade or walking alone, or knocking on the doors of 60 more voters. #DoYourPart

Let’s face it… there’s endless political corruption & government tyranny, and most politicians trample rather than protect our God-given liberties. But, we must stay positive to win this freedom war. So, this week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to find at least one government official who actively supports the Constitution and defends our rights. Identify him/her, sign up for their newsletter (or follow them on social media), and let them know how much you appreciate their hard work.

Robert’s Rules of Order are used to govern proceedings in most governmental bodies & private sector organizations. This week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to take a RRO class from a professional parliamentarian, so you know the proper procedure for participating in such meetings.

Attend the BEST Robert’s Rules of Order and General Parliamentary Procedures class this February 3, 2024. Learn from Julie Pioch, a Professional Registered Parliamentarian credentialed by the National Association of Parliamentarians and former president of the Michigan State Association of Parliamentarians.

Get prepared for the upcoming Conventions which use Robert’s Rules of Order. Discover General Parliamentary Procedures which are growing in popularity all over the country.

It will be a fun time and an opportunity to develop friendships with Precinct Delegates and fellow Republicans.

For additional details on this sponsored event and to register for the class, visit the Kent County GOP website.

In Freedom.
