PREAMBLE
To enact parliamentary democracy a non-governmental political organization named Hospitals & Asylums (HA) was established in 2000.
HA dates to the Naval Hospital Act of Feb. 26, 1811, that was the work of Paul Hamilton secretary of the Navy under President James Madison. The codification at Title 24 of the United States Code was the work of Hon. Edward C. Little who died on June 24, 1924.
Our mission is to perfect a HA statute to teach a society of people of the right to write Hospitals & Asylums at the top of their document to grow and flourish with equal rights, health, justice, truth, freedom and peace in pursuit of long life, prosperity and happiness.
Economic law demands that we work together to achieve social co-operation. Both the state and the private sector play an important role. Everyone has the fundamental right to be free of hunger and poverty. It is the equal right of men and women to the enjoyment of all the economic, social and cultural rights the State respects, protects and fulfills.
In all our dealings we must be ethical. To the government ethics is a matter of accounting for our income, expenditure and associations. To the non-governmental organization ethics is a matter of living life with the least risk of death to anyone. The political organization writes a newsletter and endorses ethical candidates for office.
Everyone, particularly the State, has a professional responsibility to provide effective services to those unable to pay. HA volunteers the highest quality of legal research at no fee or substantially reduced fee to individuals, groups or organizations seeking to secure their freedoms through human rights and promotes charitable societies of religious, judicial, health, community, governmental, educational and scientific organization.
The golden rule provides that one must treat others as one wishes to be treated. Non violent social change and the non use of force is fundamental to all dealings with all people. We reject all forms of hatred, bigotry, discrimination, prejudice and violence. As citizens it is our duty to equally defend the life and liberty of all people, particularly the poor, against oppression, persecution and crime.
Winning friendship and understanding we shall defeat injustice by choosing love instead of hate. Valuing, as we do, unconditional, universal love, truthfulness, courage and compassion we dedicate ourselves to the creation of a community where all people can live together as sisters and brothers.
Leading is a responsibility for those willing to serve the public for free and a right for those who do so peacefully. Democracy is the right of the individual to participate in the decision-making of Society by vote or petition. Freedom of expression and the rule of law are fundamental principles with which we preserve our democratic freedoms.
The public service mission of HA is to make everyone laugh. Throughout its long history HA has catalyzed social change through the disciplined process of information gathering, education, personal commitment, negotiations, direct action and reconciliation. Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.
Believing that the codification, adjudication and progressive development of HA will promote the maintenance of international peace and security, the development of friendly relations and the achievement of co-operation among people we recognize HA parliamentary precedence, uphold its spirit and defend its honor.
Chapter 1 History
Art. 1 Title 24 of the United States Code
Hospitals & Asylums (HA) statute can be found in the 10 Chapters of Title 24 US Code. HA was first codified for the United States Congress by Hon. Edward C. Little who died on June 24, 1924 shortly before the permanent laws entered into force on Dec. 7, 1925. Many of the sections have been repealed and Title 24 is so short that it is usually published with Title 23 Highways. HA statute is a neglected cultural resource that caters to disabled and retired veterans, the mentally ill, the ill, and national cemeteries and formerly served the deaf. We seek to minimize any disruptive impact on the structure of the existing statute and are committed to a comprehensive new law drawing upon the wisdom of a two hundred year history.
Art. 2 Armed Forces Retirement Home
HA traces its history to the Naval Hospital Act of Feb. 26, 1811. Extra service pay prevailed against corruption in US v. Thomas Fillebrown, Secretary of Commissioners of Navy Hospitals 32 US 28 7 Pet. 28 (1833) as cited for Justice Story in Minis v. US 40 U.S. 423 (1841). The Naval Home was officially opened in 1834 and was known as the Naval Asylum until the name was changed to the Naval Home in 1880. The Soldiers' Home was established in 1851, as an "asylum for old and disabled veterans." In 1992 President George H. Bush (1989-1993) signed the law establishing the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH). The Army and Navy Hospitals including the Tubercular Hospital at Fort Bayard and the Army and Navy General Hospital at Hot Springs, Arkansas are organized as clients of the Armed Forces Retirement Home political lobby to defend against military injustice with fines and forfeitures under 24USC(10)§419.
Art. 3 National Home for Disabled and Volunteer Soldiers
A volunteer military of the mentally and physically able and willing prevailed in 1974 although the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers was repealed in 1957. Battle Mountain Sanitarium Reserve at Hot Springs, South Dakota that shall be under the exclusive control of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is all that remains of the Chapter. Unlawful intrusions of said reserves and violations of rules and regulation are punished with fines of $1,000 and up to 12 months in jail under 24USC(3)V§154.
Art. 4 District of Columbia Mental Health System
Since its establishment by Congress in 1855, Saint, Elizabeth’s Hospital has developed into a respected national mental health hospital and study, training, and treatment center, providing a range of quality mental health and related services. The District of Columbia Community Mental Health System Act of 1988 supervised the reduction of the population of St. Elizabeth’s (Psychiatric) Hospital from 7,000 to less than 700 under 24USC(4)III§225. In the 1990’s Congress made arrangement for the release of the mentally ill, returned from foreign countries, to their home or next of kin 24USC(9)§323.
Art. 5 Columbia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb
The Columbia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb was established on February 16, 1857. An Act of Congress changed the institution's charter, enabling it to issue college degrees, that was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) in 1864. The school for the deaf became the teaching hospital of Howard University Medical School in 1868 that was renamed Gallaudet University in honor of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet (1787-1851), a notable figure in the advancement of deaf education. I. King Jordan was elected President of Gallaudet University (1988-2006) amid student protests for a deaf head, he resigned the first day of 2007.
Art. 6 Freedmen’s Hospital and Asylum
Established in 1862 Freedmen's Hospital and Asylum cared for freed, disabled, and aged blacks. In 1863, it was placed under Dr. Alexander Augusta (1825-1890) the first African-American to be a surgeon in the US army, to make Major in the US Army, to head a hospital and to be buried with the rank of an officer in Arlington Cemetery. In 1968 Freedmen became a teaching hospital with 278 beds and in 1909 Congress authorized the construction of a new hospital. In 1967, Freedmen's Hospital was transferred to Howard University and used as a hospital until 1975.
Art. 7 Arlington Memorial Amphitheater
Since May of 1864 Arlington Memorial Cemetery has been fully operational. Arlington Mansion and 200 acres of ground immediately surrounding it were officially designated as a military cemetery June 15, 1864, by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. Recommendations of the Secretary of Defense, or his designee, for memorials and entombments shall be sent to Congress in January of each year, his recommendations with respect to the memorials to be erected, and the remains of deceased members of the Armed Forces to be entombed, in the Arlington Memorial Amphitheater, Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia under 24USC(7)§295a.
Art. 8 Gorgas Hospital
The Government hospital within the Canal Zone, near the City of Panama, known prior to March 24, 1928, as the Ancon Hospital, shall after such date be known and designated on the public records as the Gorgas Hospital, in recognition of the distinguished services to humanity as a fitting perpetuation of the name and memory of Major General William Crawford Gorgas. The change in the name of said hospital under 24USC(8)§302 shall in no wise affect the rights of the Federal Government, or any municipality, corporation, association, or person wherefore Manuel Antonio Noriega must be returned to the historians of his homeland HA-9-9-07.
