The Twenty-Ninth Amendment INTRODUCTION: Given the known hostility of the current administration to the Bill of Rights—especially the Second Amendment—the priority American forces are assigning to the house-to-house disarmament of Haitian civilians, and the feeble excuses offered for it in the media, it should be clear by now that this operation, like the one in Somalia, is designed to train our troops to do the same thing here in the States. If so, it is important to circulate the following as widely as possible as a warning to those in power of the dangers of abusing it. SECTION I: It is forbidden under any circumstances for any American military or police force to deny—or to be ordered to deny—any American the free exercise of any right protected by the first ten Amendments to the United States Constitution. SECTION II: In the absence of a formal declaration of war it is likewise forbidden for any American military or police force to deny—or to be ordered to deny—foreign nationals in their own territories the free exercise of any right protected by the first ten Amendments to the United States Constitution. SECTION III: No claim of emergency, nor the age or condition of any person, is sufficient grounds for violating or evading the provisions or intentions of this Amendment. SECTION IV: Any elected or appointed official at any level of government who violates or evades the provisions or intentions of this Amendment is subject to imprisonment and fine for each violation; should a death occur as a result of said violation the official in question shall be subject to the death penalty.
