We cannot remain silent while our State government endorses the mutilation of children and the separation of minors from their parents in the name of “transgender healthcare.”

The Cornerstone Standard says it plainly:

“It is a serious criminal offense to administer so-called ‘transgender healthcare’ to minors—which is mutilation, whether by pharmaceutical or surgical means such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or disfiguring & debilitating surgeries.”

In Minnesota, laws now protect those who lure children from other states—without parental consent—so they can be sterilized and surgically altered before adulthood. This is a direct assault on the God-given rights of parents and a violation of the very purpose of civil government, which is to protect the innocent. As the Declaration of Purpose warns:

“To whatever extent a government threatens or actually brings about harm to children, the Social Contract is broken.”

There is no legitimate power in the U.S. Constitution that grants government the right to strip parents of their authority and mutilate children. These so-called “sanctuary” laws violate Article IV of the Constitution and trample the Reserved Powers of states to protect their own citizens.

That is why we am calling on every concerned citizen in Minnesota: Bring the “Child Protection & Parental Rights Act” to your legislator.

Our duty before God and under the Constitution is clear:

Protect minors from irreversible harm.
Uphold parental rights as fundamental.
Reject extremist ideologies that place corporate profit and political agendas over the bodies and futures of children.

The Cornerstone Standard closes with a solemn pledge:

“We will never agree to turn over our children to the mutilators, under any circumstances.”

Now is the time for Minnesota to take its stand.
Contact your legislator today. Deliver the model bill. Let’s make Minnesota a true sanctuary for children—not for those who would harm them.

And remember – encourage your friends and family in other states to call their political leaders to join The Cornerstone Standard Coalition of States which is committed to prosecuting those who commit these crimes and protecting children from medical abuse.

In forming The Cornerstone Standard Coalition, we have begun the process of reaching out to the great heart of this nation to begin building a national consensus which can form a bulwark against the spreading darkness that threatens the children of this nation. The Cornerstone Standard Coalition is fully committed to upholding the principles of “The Cornerstone Standard: Protecting Children”, which currently is comprised of one article. Article 1 of “The Cornerstone Standard: Protecting Children” reads as follows:

Article 1

It is a serious criminal offense to administer so-called “transgender healthcare” to minors—which is mutilation, whether by pharmaceutical or surgical means such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or disfiguring & debilitating surgeries.

We believe that criminal laws should be passed and enforced against those who perpetrate these serious crimes. [The criminal laws protecting children from mutilation would not apply to the exceedingly-rare cases where medical procedures are necessary to treat children born with Disorders of Sexual Development (DSD) such as ambiguous genitalia or other congenital malformations.]

We intend to form a coalition among the States and Counties of this nation who hold these beliefs in common cause to protect children from the perpetrators of these crimes and punish—to the full extent of the law—those who commit them.

The Honorable Doug Burgum
Governor of North Dakota
600 East Boulevard Ave
Bismarck, ND 58505

Dear Governor Burgum,

As you may know, the State of Minnesota recently passed laws that designate our state as a
“sanctuary state” for, among other things, so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors, which
includes gender-reassignment surgery and puberty blockers. These recent laws make it legal for a
minor from North Dakota to be transported to Minnesota for the sole purpose of receiving these
surgeries or puberty blockers without the knowledge or consent of that child’s parents, in
violation of North Dakota state law. We share common goals with you— the health and
protection of our children being chief among them, and we are deeply ashamed that our state
would make itself party to this radical and evil agenda. We are now compelled to draw a line—in
a way that is unmistakable, and which carries with it the full weight of our power and
authority—when it comes to the indoctrination, luring, and subsequent mutilation of our
children.

Article IV, Section 1 of the US Constitution states, “Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each
State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State,” and yet the
Governor of Minnesota [through Executive Order 23-03] flagrantly & deliberately ordered the
Executive Branch of the State of Minnesota not to honor subpoenas issued by the State of North
Dakota in matters related to so-called “transgender healthcare.” In so doing, Governor Walz is
violating the US Constitution, his Oath of Office, and profoundly breaking faith with the State of
North Dakota in a matter that could not be more sacred or central to the well-being & interests of
the People of North Dakota.

It is our belief that a line now needs to be drawn here, at this exact point in our history as a
nation. We are hereby making the most urgent appeal that you issue a public statement to the
effect that penalties will be imposed against anyone participating materially in luring or
transporting North Dakota minors for the purpose of providing “transgender healthcare”
including so-called gender-reassignment surgery and other related medical procedures.
States must be held accountable for going so far as to violate the US Constitution to commit acts
that are inherently evil. Actions which result in the mutilation of children are crimes, and the
perpetrators, along with their accomplices, must be held accountable. Where adult citizens are
concerned, the choice to be a citizen of a state is not simply an accident of birth; citizenship is a
matter of agreeing to act in accordance with the community values of that state.
Criminal penalties for kidnapping and child mutilation are in order and well-justified. As far as
any legal definition of what would constitute an individual being a “material accomplice” to the
act of child mutilation, this is a matter we are confident your Attorney General will competently
address.

We hope your leadership succeeds in defending the health and safety of children where ours has
failed. We, the undersigned, stand committed to render any assistance you may request,
regarding this urgent matter. Please do not hesitate to enlist us in this fight.
