THE UNITED STATES IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. IT IS A REPUBLIC. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED.

House Concurrent Resolution (H.C.R.) 443 was submitted Monday, December 4, 2000 by Representatives Ron Paul (TX), Jack Metcalf (WA), Bob Stump (AZ), and Mark Sanford (SC) expressing the sense of Congress in reaffirming the United States of America as a republic. H.C. R. 443 also reaffirms the electoral college system.

"I call upon every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to cosponsor House Concurrent Resolution 443 and ask every citizen to see that they do," stated Kent Snyder executive director of The Liberty Committee. He added, "The U.S. is a republic. Our present system of selecting a president and vice president should remain so our republic of independent and sovereign states will remain."

The Liberty Committee is a nationwide, grassroots organization of over 45,000 Americans who are determined to restore the national government of the United States to its constitutional limitations in order for liberty to prevail.
