Oppose Human Trafficking
Resolution 2023-11A - The Alameda County Republican Party Central Committee, resolved:
Whereas:
- human trafficking is the 2nd largest illicit industry in the U.S., 2nd only to the drug trade.
- California consistently ranks number one in the nation in the number of human trafficking cases reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline
- human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery, in which human beings are controlled, exploited and killed for profit.
- online websites have enabled traffickers to recruit victims and customers in large numbers.
- young children, of unknown numbers, are exploited by traffickers who force them to sell their bodies for the trafficker’s financial gain, and when they are no longer a financial asset, they are sold for body parts.
- drugs are bought and sold in one single transaction; human beings, however, can be sold over and over again, and some victims report being forced to engage in commercial sex with up to fifty “clients” in a single day.
- On September 25, 2023, California Senate Bill 14, was signed into law, having sex trafficking a serious felony, making the crime a strike under the Three Strikes law.
- the actual number of illegal immigrant children, who have entered the United States illegally at our southern border, is unknown, and they are unaccounted for and extremely vulnerable to human trafficking.
Therefore:
The Alameda County Republican Party Central Committee
- will pursue the fight against human trafficking by providing educational outreach and asking that all financial institutions, hedge funds, private equity firms and multinational corporations be held responsible for the laundering of funds from the illegal trafficking trade.

Oppose Two Tier Justice System
Resolution 2023-09B - The Alameda County Republican Party Central Committee, resolved:
Whereas:
-
Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida has drafted legislation to defund Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has used bad faith and initiated fabricated prosecutions of the
45th President Donald Trump aimed to prevent him from running for President in 2024; -
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California has indicated his willingness to open impeachment proceedings concerning Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, who has
led the rogue prosecutions and injustices perpetrated against Donald Trump - Attorney General Merrick B. Garland has protected and prevented any serious prosecutions of the Biden family, despite massive amounts of serious, documented violations reported from whistleblowers to the Department of Justice as well as Oversight Hearings by duly authorized Committees of the US Congress
- Press reports (never denied as recent as March 2023 in the New York Times) reported that Joe Biden personally told his advisors that Donald Trump should be prosecuted for his role in the events of Jan. 6, 2021
Therefore:
The Alameda County Republican Party Central Committee
- Calls upon the U.S. House and U.S. Senate to approve the legislation put forward by Rep. Gaetz to defund the Special Counsel Jack Smith, as well as giving full support to Speaker Kevin McCarthy to initiate impeachment hearings against Merrick Garland for acting in a blatantly partisan way that threatens to desecrate our founding principles of justice and replace them with a system that closely resembles a totalitarian system of a dictatorship.
- Encourages other California Republican Party County Central Committees to pass similar resolutions.
- Calls for this resolution to be sent to Representative Matt Gaetz, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, other members of the California Congressional delegation, and relevant Press.

Support the Initiative to Repeal the Death Tax
Resolution 2023-09A - The Alameda County Republican Party Central Committee, resolved:
Whereas:
- The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA) has made available the official petition to the Repeal the Death Tax initiative on the November 2024 ballot.
- This important initiative will restore the ability of parents to transfer their home and a limited amount of other property to their children without any change to the property tax bill.
- It will restore the same rights for grandparents if the children's parents are deceased.
- The constitutional rights that Californians had for decades were taken away by Proposition 19, which passed narrowly in 2020
- Voters were told that Prop. 19 was a protection for wildfire victims and for seniors who wanted to move to a new home. Prop. 19 was the largest property tax increase in California history,
- The Repeal the Death Tax initiative will restore the protections that Prop. 19 took away and will not change the other parts of Prop. 19
- It will be retroactive, meaning people whose property was reassessed for a parent-child transfer will be able to get their property's original trended base-year value (under Prop. 13) back again, as if the reassessment had not taken place.
Therefore:
The Alameda County Republican Party Central Committee
- Fully supports the Repeal the Death Tax effort.
- Urges [everyone] to visit the RepealTheDeathTax.com website to download the Petition and to share it widely to reach the goal of one million signatures by January 16, 2024.
- Defends our rights as Californians for private property, to help families build [economic] security for the next generation and to work towards a more efficient, less intrusive government.
