KrisAnne Hall
January 21, 2012
Our June 5th meeting will be one you will definitely not want to miss. We will once again be graced with the presence of Ms. KrisAnne Hall. She is a Constitutional attorney and former state prosecutor, fired after teaching the Constitution to TEA Party groups - she would not sacrifice liberty for a paycheck. She is a disabled veteran of the US Army, a Russian linguist, a mother, a pastor’s wife and a patriot. She now travels the country and teaches the Constitution and the history that gave us our founding documents.
Visit Ms. Hall’s website for complete details on her and her career. Click here to see a flyer for her seminar on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
As the date of the meeting approaches we will provide details on the subject of her presentation and the location of the meet.

The Resolution!
April 12, 2010
Citizens Resolution and Proclamation
To the Bay County Board of Commissioners
Bay County, Florida
July 7th, 2009
Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, Ladies & Gentlemen,
I am here today to represent the Bay Patriots and hundreds of our fellow citizens who believe that government at all levels is exceeding the powers granted to them by the Florida State Constitution and United States Constitution.
In just this last year we have seen the nationalization of the banking
industry, the insurance industry, the automobile industry, and soon the health care and energy industries.
Deficit spending is out of control, threatening our national security, our economic strength, and the preservation of Liberty.
The limits found in the US Constitution are being ignored and the federal government is rapidly overreaching its limited authority. Our state and local governments have failed to adequately restrain spending, while increasing taxes and imposing new fees as a device to balance an already over-inflated budget.
Because governments may only govern with the consent of the people, we therefore petition for redress of these grievances.
We may not be able to immediately influence action at the state and federal level, but we cry out for your attention to our local distress.
Here are our requests;
1. We ask you to include in all acts, directives or administrative rules
that portion of the U.S. or Florida State Constitution which authorizes such action.
2. Taking of private property by eminent domain, code, restriction,
administrative rule or zoning that negatively affects the value of private property must be properly justified and justly compensated.
3. No citizen shall be detained or seized for ANY reason, no matter how noble, without probable cause. This right shall not be violated without warrant, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place, persons or things to be seized, as stated in the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
4. Good stewardship of our natural resources is prudent, but the rights of personal property shall not be violated in preference to the interests of any plant or animal, without just compensation to those private property owners, as stated in the 5th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
5. We petition this Commission to issue to the State a Declaration of the Rights held by the Sovereign State of Florida, as stated in the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
6. The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things. The people cannot lawfully delegate to our government any power that we as citizens would be held accountable as unlawful. If it is against the law for any citizen to forcibly take from one person to give to another, no matter how benevolent, it must be held that the government has no right to do likewise. If the government deems the taking as lawful, it has further violated the one’s rights to appeal the taking. Be wary of using our tax money and your commission authority to fund projects which do not benefit all citizens of the county.
7. The Right to Life, to Liberty, and to Personal Property are so entwined as to be held as one. The loss of one is the loss of all.
Finally,
We encourage and will support those of our representatives who adhere to and honor the United States and Florida State Constitutions and who fiercely uphold the Creator-given, unalienable rights of all people and the inviolability of personal property rights.
Respectfully,
Derrell Day
Bay Patriots
Principles of Liberty
May 4, 2009
Principles of Liberty
- The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law.
- A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong.
- The most promising method of securing a virtuous and morally stable people is to elect virtuous leaders.
- Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained.
- All things were created by God, therefore upon Him all mankind are equally dependent, and to Him they are equally responsible.
- All men are created equal.
- The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things.
- Men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.
- To protect man’s rights, God has revealed certain principles of divine law.
- The God-given right to govern is vested in the sovereign authority of the whole people.
- The majority of the people may alter or abolish a government which has become tyrannical.
- The United States of America shall be a republic.
- A constitution should be structured to permanently protect the people from the human frailties of their rulers.
- Life and liberty are secure only so long as the right of property is secure.
- The highest level of prosperity occurs when there is a free-market economy and a minimum of government regulations.
- The government should be separated into three branches – legislative, executive, and judicial.
- A system of checks and balances should be adopted to prevent the abuse of power.
- The unalienable rights of the people are most likely to be preserved if the principles of government are set forth in a written constitution.
- Only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to government, all others being retained in the people.
- Efficiency and dispatch require government to operate according to the will of the majority, but constitutional provisions must be made to protect the rights of the minority.
- Strong local self-government is the keystone to preserving human freedom.
- A free people should be governed by law and not by the whims of men.
- A free society cannot survive as a republic without a broad program of general education.
- A free people will not survive unless they stay strong.
- “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations – entangling alliances with none.”
- The core unit which determines the strength of any society is the family; therefore, the government should foster and protect its integrity.
- The burden of debt is as destructive to freedom as subjugation by conquest.
- The United States has a manifest destiny to be an example and a blessing to the entire human race.

Membership Guidelines
PLEASE READ!
Bay Patriots is open to ANYONE, regardless of political party, race or gender. Members shall “check” their affiliations at the door. We strive to join together simply as Americans who are concerned about our continued Liberty. We believe government from the national level to the local level grows more oppressive and intrusive each day. We believe governing by the “consent of the governed” should be limited to the powers allowed by the United States Constitution and not a successive line of perversive “case law” precedents.
We recognize different people have different opinions and we celebrate their individual rights to differ. We believe that the decorum displayed by Free Men and Women shall be without rancor. Passionate but not rude.
Bay Patriots is an ALL volunteer, self supporting organization and as such relies on membership dues and contributions for our funding. Our expenses include such things as printing costs, postage, informational radio spots and expenses incurred for special events. We receive pocket Constitutions from time to time from one of our sponsors, The Heritage Foundation, but also purchase them direct from other sources as needed. We have NO paid staff and depend upon the volunteer time of our members and Board of Directors.
