The Southern Colorado Tea Party Petition For Redress of Grievances in Conduct in Office

We, the people of the Southern Colorado Tea Party, exercising our rights under the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, did peaceably assemble in the months of November and December,2009 and did petition you at your offices in Pueblo, Colorado for redress of grievances in the "Health Care Act", the "Cap and Trade Bill", and the "Food Safety Modernization Act". According to our rights under the under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments of the Constitution, we, the people of the Southern Colorado Tea Party, did by our request place you under obligation to respond in a timely manner to the issues stated in those petitions. Subsequent visits to your offices in the months of December, 2009 and January,2010 by Southern Colorado Tea Party members seeking your response to those petitions were unsuccessful. Your failure to respond is constituency neglect. Your repeated disregard for the Southern Colorado Tea Party petitions for redress of grievances is a violation of the peoples' First, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment rights. Your oath of office requires you to conduct your duties in office as the elected delegate of the people according to the Constitution of the United States. Your repeated disregard for the petitions for redress of grievances from the people of the Southern Colorado Tea Party is a violation of your oath of office. Foremost, we find that you have no Constitutional authority to exercise sovereign immunity from the petitions for redress of grievances submitted by the people of the Southern Colorado Tea Party. This is a violation of our Constitutional rights and your oath of office. We ask you for redress of these grievances by your resignation from office, and by responding in a timely manner to the issues stated in this petition.
