A M e ss s s ag a g e f r o m t h e Em Em p e r o r - P h i l L aw aw s o n KIGY Brothers and Sisters, In an effort to simplify the Constitution of this organization, and produce a Constitution that applies fully to our Klan, I have c reated this document and present it to the ord er of the United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan to follow. I remain committed to God, Race and Nation and the advancement and protecti on of our beloved White race. I herby proclaim this Constitution is the supreme law that shall give guidance to our order, to which we all owe our complete compl ete loyalty and obedience.
P r o c l am a m a t i o n o f t h e I m p e r i al a l W i z a r d – Co C o l e Th Th o r n t o n The Imperial Wizard would like it to be known and understood, that certain criteria should be taken into consideration before the appointment or electi on of officers in this order. This advisement applies to every officer from Imperial to Local Office. Items to consider before appointment of an officer. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Social Standing Within The Community Financial Standing Financial Availability Age Personal Habits And Character Family Standing Commitment To Ideals We Represent Loyalty Of Individual To The Empire As A Whole As Well As Individual Brothers
We cannot at anytime have a leader in this brotherhood, even though universally loved by all involved, which cannot afford because of his financial, political, or family situation, to fully perform his duties as an officer. He must realize that one must not be blinded by hatred towards non-whit es. The duty of all Klansmen is to up lift the t he white race, not to lower ourselves to the same level as those that we oppose. He must always remember r emember he is a White Christian and conduct himself to be a shining example of this great Order. Due to the regional differences in our c ountry, no two Realms are the sa me. Thus, it is necessary for the Realm leadership to handle things to their respective situations. This being understood, a Realm must gain the approval of the Imperial Council before implementing workings that have not been successfully used in an established Realm.
Co n s t i t u t i o n a n d L aw aw s U n i t e d N o r t h e r n a n d So So u t h e r n K n i g h t s of t he Ku Klux Klan

We appreciate the value of practical fraternal relationship among men of kindred thought, purposeful ideals and of the infinite benefits accruing there from; We shall faithfully devote ourselves to the practice of an honorable Klanishness that the life of each may be a constant blessing to our brothers and sisters, and a great benefit to all white people in this country.

A r t i cl cl e 8 R e v e n u e a n d P r o p e r t y T it it l e s Section 1. The revenues of this order shall consist of: monthly membership donations derived from each member, profits realized from the sales of paraphernalia, regalia, supplies, jewelry, uniforms, costumes, stationary and any other article used in the work of this order. Revenue will also be generated through a variety of fund raising activities and sales not limited to Klan paraphernalia. Section 1a. Revenues will also come from strategic investments in stocks, bonds, CDs, real estate or other forms of capital investments. Section 2 Revenues of a state shall consist of: membership dues, fund raisi ng done at a Realm level. Section 3. The revenues of a Kla vern shall be membership dues in excess of those fi xed for the National and State offices, as well as from fund raising done within the Klavern itself. A Klavern shall donate the following to the sta te, 20% of its profits from fund raising activities. The state would then record it and donate 20% of its revenue to the National Office. Klavern dues shall be decided by a majority vote within the Klavern but must be sufficient to cover the state dues. E x a m p l e : A fundraiser done on a local level realizes a $100.00 profit, they would record it in t heir books and send $20.00 to the State Office, and the state would then record the $20.00 and send $2.00 to the National Office. This will be clear to those who must fill in the reports. Section 4. No one, including the Imperial Wizard, shall have the authority to increase the set percentage to the National Office of any member or department concerning fund raising, dues and/or donations. The Imperial Wizard can however, increase the percentage of monies specified for National dues by increasing the set percentage with the approval of the Imperial Council. Klavern dues must not exceed $20.00 per month per member. Section 5. National dues are to be paid whether or not members attend Klavern meetings or pay their state dues, If a Grand Dragon fails to submit nati onal dues for one month his Realm is fined $45.00 if he fails to pay for two (2) consecutive month, his office is immediately vacated and the Imperial Wizard shall appoint a new Grand Dragon until elections the following year. The Klavern dues are to be paid to the state whether or not dues have been paid on a local level. It is up the proper officer who has been charged with collecting dues to cover this expenditure. State l evel this responsibility would fall on the Grand Dragon, local would be the Ti tan or Exalted Cyclops. Section 5a. Upon approval from the Imperial Wizard, members may be permitted to sell items on consignment, Example: a member purchases flags of a certain variety they think may appeal to potential buyers. He or she purchases the flags for $5.00 then s ells the flags with the above said approval from the Imperial Wizard. They sell the Flags for $10.00 per flag. The member would be entitled to a return of $5.00 for each sale to offset the monies they had out of pocket. The remainder would be designat ed as said in Section 3. At no time is the member to be selling selli ng items for their own personal gain; this would be a direct violation of our sacred oath NON SIBLI SED ANTHAR. Section 6. Members of the United Northern and Southern Knights can donate in any manner to the local Klavern, State or National Office, but those who cannot or care not to donate are not to be pressured to do so.
A r t i cl cl e 9 States Section 1. A Realm many be organi zed within the country or other territorial sub division, and shall hereafter be known as a Realm. Section 2. A state is organized on the declaration of the Imperial Wizard and with such declaration he shall appoint a state contact or if applicable a Grand Dragon of that Realm. The appointed term shall be for one year at which time elections shall take place for the position of Dragon of the Realm. The Dragon will appoint all Grand Officers under the guidance of the Imperial Council. Section 3.
