A Bill for healing, reconciliation, and uniting the deeply divided “United” States of America, beginning with mitigation of ongoing harm initiated by Congress in voting on the 1st Nationality Act (codified racism) on March 26, 1790.
The Bill has been drafted by Rev. Torli H. Krua of the Universal Human Rights International (UHRI). It aims to heal and unite the United States of America from ongoing harm of the 1st Nationality Act. On July 4, 1776, the United States of America became the first country to be founded on the TRUTH of equality and “inalienable rights” of all human beings. However, on March 26, 1790, slaveholders dominating Congress, including James Monroe of Virginia, voted to pass the 1st Nationality Act, which was signed into law by President George Washington, a slaveholder. The law stated that only “white persons” were eligible for citizenship of the United States, thus excluding all Native Americans and African Americans with contributions and ties to America centuries before independence.
The unmitigated harm inflicted by the 1st Nationality Act arises from the rejection of the BLUEPRINT of the equality of human beings and “inalienable rights” on which the United States was founded. The law also derailed American democracy forever and set the stage for accelerating the eventual catastrophic collapse and demise of this great country. Alas, “United we stand. Divided we fall.”
In 2024, all the slaveholders who aimed to destroy American democracy are dead but their legacy of division and ongoing harm of officially sanctioned racism continues to ravage the United States and presents a serious national and global security risk. The role of the United States Government in colonizing African Americans in Liberia because of their race would require careful consideration, legal expertise, and comprehensive engagement with stakeholders.
Here’s a draft bill to initiate the discussion about the rights of indigenous Americans- human beings born in America, who held ties and made contributions to America long before, during, and after the American Declaration of Independence. For over two centuries, the United States has welcomed millions of people from every country on Earth while at the same time continuing the cruelty, atrocities, ongoing harm, killing, displacement, torture, sexual abuse, and economic exploitation of indigenous Americans that started on March 26, 1790, because of racism, and continues in 2024.
In order to avoid a catastrophic collapse and fall of our country, all the People of the United States must get involved in seeking innovative solutions to centuries of unmitigated codified racism that was initiated by Congress, using American taxes, done under the American Flag and employing the force of the US Military to oppress and silence indigenous Americans and colonized them on American Soil at Indian Reservations as well as in the American Colony of Liberia in West Africa.
The United States of America must renounce racism, apologize, and mitigate the ongoing harm of codified racism against indigenous Americans and Liberians. Additionally, a new condition for military alliances and defense agreements with the Government of the United States of America must include renunciation, contrition, reparations, mitigation, and abandonment of monarchy, theocracy, white supremacism, and colonialism, national sovereignty notwithstanding. —
**Title: American Healing And Unity Act** **Preamble** Recognizing the historical injustices perpetrated against Indigenous Americans-human beings with contributions and ties to America that predate the American Declaration of Independence- now is the right time to heal, unite, and move forward. On March 26, 1790, Congress, acting against the principles of “inalienable” rights of Americans, codified the 1st Nationality Act (racism) and thereby initiated division and ongoing harm against Americans of color. Codified racism caused the United States to unlawfully colonize citizens of the United States of America in Liberia, using two laws passed by Congress and signed by President Washington and Monroe.
Colonization of American citizens continued against the opinion of the Attorney General Hon. William WIrt $#229, used $100,000.00 American taxes and the force of the U.S Navy. However, the role of the United States Government has been hidden and concealed for two centuries.
Additionally, indigenous African tribes were robbed, tortured, and killed as a result of American colonization of Liberia by the American Colonization Society (ACS) and the U.S. Government.
This Act aims to study the full impact and mitigate the ongoing harm and provide reparations and acknowledgment of those injustices.. **
Section 1: Findings** (a) **Historical Injustices**: The Congress acknowledges that its authority under the Constitution of the United States does not grant powers to restrict the movements and freedoms of indigenous Americans and natives with ties and contributions to America that predate the American Declaration of Independence. This is why the historical injustices and harm against Indigenous Americans and African Americans of color colonized in Liberia and indigenous African tribes who suffered as a result of American colonization efforts and jurisdictions under the Flag of the United States and the force of the U.S. Navy must not keep going on forever!
(b) Because of ongoing harm of American Colonization and the negative, yet hidden role of the Government of the United States in colonizing American citizens who were not white after the passage of the 1st Nationality Act, this bill to Unite and heal the United States Grant U.S. citizenship to all Liberians, consistent with: The landmark case, Brom and Betts V. Ashley, Opinion of the U.S. Attorney General #229 October 14, 1819 Article 1 of the 1824 Constitution of Liberia approved in Washington, Miscellaneous Article 1 of the 1847 Constitution of Liberia, Treaty for Friendship, Commerce and Navigation between Liberia & USA Article 95 of the Liberian Constitution of 1986 The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, (43 Stat. 253, enacted June 2, 1924) was an Act of the United States Congress that imposed U.S. citizenship on the indigenous peoples of the United States.
