WHEREAS,
one
of
our
most
fundamental
rights
as
3
American
citizens
is
to
be
free
from
unreasonable
4
detention
without
due
process
of
law,
a
right
afforded
5
to
us
by
our
founding
fathers
and
guaranteed
to
us
by
6
over
two
centuries
of
sacrifice
by
our
men
and
women
in
7
the
armed
forces
whom
we
daily
recognize
and
honor;
and
8
WHEREAS,
on

of
the
citizens
of
Iowa,
the
9
House
of
Representatives
opposes
any
and
all
laws,
10
regulations,
and
executive
orders,
which
amount
to
11
an
overreach
of
the
federal
government

which

effectively
take
away
civil
liberties;

17
of
the
State
of
Iowa,”;
and
18
WHEREAS,
the
members
of
the
House
of
Representatives
19
believe
that
any
laws,
regulations,
or
executive
orders
20
going
against
habeas
corpus
or
the
civil
liberties
of
21
Iowa
citizens
granted
under
the
Constitution

the

THEREFORE,
