In signing an affidavit, its proponent, the Affiant, is declaring what she or he has concluded to be one or more undeniable truths based on truth, facts, valid law, and evidence. If the affidavit is directed at making an accusation against an individual or business (hereafter called respondent), then, pursuant to the lawful notification contained in the affidavit, the respondent must rebut the charges and claims set forth in the Affiant&#8217;s Affidavit\/Declaration of Truth, which charges are supported by truth, fact, valid law and evidence.<\/p>\n<p>It is usually impossible for the respondent to rebut the Affiant&#8217;s charges, in kind, and specifically, by means of the respondent&#8217;s own sworn, notarized affidavit, within a specified period of time, with respondent&#8217;s rebuttals supported by truth, fact, valid law and evidence.\u00a0 An unrebutted affidavit stands as fact and truth before any court and any public body.\u00a0 Since the respondent was provided the opportunity to rebut but failed to so, the respondent is tacitly admitting to all of the charges and claims contained in Affiant&#8217;s Affidavit\/Declaration of Truth, fully binding upon respondent in any court, without his protest or objection and that of those who represent him, and is accepted as such.<\/p>\n<p>The proponent (Affiant) of the affidavit must then file an affidavit of complaint with the original affidavit attached thereto. The affidavit of complaint is then submitted to a Sheriff for action.<\/p>\n<p>In light of the success the use of affidavits has enjoyed, FOLU hereby adopts the position that FOLU chapters at all levels should use them as deemed necessary and appropriate in helping to advance the restoration of law and order in America. Help in preparing affidavits is available from FOLU\u2019s Lawful Initiative Team.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;#top&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Return to Top&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; button_border_width=&#8221;10px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;10px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=&#8221;True&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;3px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>A FOLU Position Paper on Election Integrity<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|20px||25px|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The FOLU position on Election Integrity is quite simple \u2013 Honesty and Transparency are the two pillars necessary for the election process to be trusted.\u00a0 FOLU believes that any action which diminishes the full effectiveness of either of these pillars is worthy of the full impact of the justice department prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law.\u00a0 It does not matter who, or which political party, is involved in the fraud or other harmful action.<\/p>\n<p>FOLU will develop some action plan items that can be employed by our local teams that will keep the light of exposure on the perpetrators, and the strategy is to KEEP the action plans going until there is some remedy in the cases!<\/p>\n<p>Circumstances have necessitated the need to develop such plans NOW\u2026 The \u201cTrue the Vote\u201d effort will be developed and implemented AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!\u00a0 Look under \u2018Tools\u2019 \u2013 \u2018Other Helpful Tools\u2019- \u00a0for \u2018True the Vote\u2019 button.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;#top&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Return to Top&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; button_border_width=&#8221;10px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;10px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POSITION PAPERSWhy Join FOLU?Why join FOLU?
