DECLARATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL PREEMINENCE OF THE PEOPLE’S GRAND JURY SYSTEM
We The People of These United States of America as the Posterity of Our Founders and the Beneficiaries of the Codified Trust entered into amongst Ourselves; who have long been recognized under law as the Body Politic from whose Consent, all Just Powers of Governance are drawn, do hereby Declare and Assert our Authority over those individuals and the greater inclusive group of them in whole and in part, who are entrusted with the administration of those tasks of governance which our Founders expressly established within the Originating Documents of this Nation.
There is no argument among Americans that the Sovereignty of our Nation rests with The People. Our Government, both State and Federal, holds only that power which We The People Consent to grant to it. We hold elections in order to select one or more of the People residing among us to Represent us in the manner we direct them to, under Obligation of Contract in pursuance of the Constitution to which we have granted Consent, which includes in Article VI, the intent of The People that the supreme Law of the Land is the Constitution as ratified in 1789 and Clarified with Articles of Amendment 1-10 in 1791; specifically establishing that no legislation nor judicial ruling in any State or In the Union shall stand which are not in pursuance thereof.
We The People of these United States, have suffered the outrage of our Constitution being subverted, our electoral processes manipulated, our Congressional ‘Representatives’ votes purchased by the lobbyists of special interest groups or otherwise manipulated, immunity from justice granted to individuals entrusted with employment in the government, the public discourse made fictional, the free press eliminated through Corporate Monopolies, Amendments passed without being lawfully ratified, An Amendment summarily removed without any process of law, covert forces and programs undertaken in secret with our money and in our name, committing atrocities against the people of other nations and against ourselves, and numerous other actions of government officers, agents and employees which are in contradiction to the fiduciary duties to which they have pledged; under the contractual obligations chartered among us by our Constitution, creating a circumstance in which the powers and authorities of government have been fraudulently wielded under the color of law to our great detriment. Due to these outrageous breaches, the established legislative, judicial and executive divisions of governance, both State and Federal have abdicated their JUST authority over We The People, and thus are not considered as representative of We The People in this matter.
We The People reiterate that through the above mentioned actions and many others the Constitutional Contract has been breached, and mass numbers of the population indoctrinated to support these actions to our detriment, and through deceit, to their own. The promise of our Republic Form of Government, established in order to protect the Individual Liberty of each American has been broken, and no majoritarian action or consideration of current procedural practice shall supersede our action herein; Ordained in order to ensure that those whom we have entrusted to perform the functions of governance adhere to the directives to which we have agreed.
The Sovereignty of We The People is that which provides Just Authority to Govern each State and the Union among them. Within the Constitution establishing the functions of our Republic Federation, Article III acknowledges that the Conclusions reached by Jury are unquestionable and prevents any entity from superseding those Conclusions. The 1st Article of Amendment guarantees a meaningful redress of grievances to everyone naturally born within the boundaries of the States of this Union.
It is under these circumstances and due to these causes that We The People Invoke our Unalienable Right to alter or abolish the government which draws all of its Just Powers from our Consent, not to alter that which currently exists nor to abolish it; but to demand that Government Actors adhere to the Contractual directives of our Constitution and to limit them to act only within those parameters.
In order to wield our rightful Sovereignty over the few among us entrusted to perform a function of governance, a mechanism through which We The People may ensure that our servants in government do not function despotically, outside of the parameters to which they have been contractually limited, and through which every American may seek a meaningful redress of grievances is needed.
In defense of our Unalienable Rights, We The People, do hereby establish and ordain The People’s Constitutional Grand Jury System to ensure that our Nation functions in every way in accordance with the only Constitutional Charter to which we have granted our consent. This Declaration, made in protection of our Individual Liberty and the Individual Liberty of every American, shall not require any further action in law in order to impose the Sovereign Authority of We The People as described herein over all other governing bodies of these United States and each of them.
The Constitution issued from the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 AD and lawfully ratified in 1789 AD, and our birthright as a Nation, The Declaration of Independence of 1776 AD, do remain and are reaffirmed as the Supreme Law of This Land. This Declaration is hereby Proclaimed and Codified in accordance with those Documents so as to confirm and impose the Unalienable Right of We The People to institute or alter or abolish for Ourselves the Form of Government to which we will grant our Consent; “laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form,” as to Us shall seem most likely to effect Our Liberty, Our Safety, and Our Happiness.
To This End, The Constitutional Grand Jury System is hereby ordained, in order to institute a meaningful mechanism through which the Covenants of Governance may be safeguarded and overseen by We The People, The Beneficiaries of The Public Trust; and to provide to Ourselves a venue for a meaningful redress of grievances which is not constrained to the degree that provides ‘Standing’ in Court.
It has come to pass in Myriad ways that the Obligation of Contract and the Fiduciary Duty of those entrusted with the mechanisms of governance are in breach, and are incapable of self correction. The Constitutional Grand Jury System shall function as the mechanism of the superseding authority of We The People, and operate in full authority over all government actions, to consider and determine whether they adequately conform and comply with The Covenants established by our Founders.
In 1776, our Founders Declared to a Tyrannical Government, a number of self evident truths. All men and women are created equal and endowed by Nature and Nature’s God with certain unalienable Rights, which are not limited to only those which were expressly declared therein.
Our Founders established among others, the self-evident truth that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men (organic human beings,) “deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
When Congress agreed upon the content of our Declaration of Independence (DOI) 56 Americans affixed their signatures to it, and the United States of America sprang into existence as a Nation resultant of that act.
The Declaration of Independence is the very first entry in The United States Code, and has been referenced and cited in numerous Supreme Court Cases. It is the singular document which establishes the U.S.A. as a Sovereign Nation, as such it is our First Law, carrying all the implicit, lawfully binding powers of law.
Some have argued that it is not ‘law’ and does not bind or constrain or protect us as do other laws. This argument does not withstand logical scrutiny.
If the DOI does not hold the full authority of Law, than the formation of our Union as a Sovereign Nation is not established and any subsequent assumption of lawful authority administered under the auspices of a Nation styled The United States, can not withstand legal consideration.
The Constitution derives it’s form and substance from the Principles contained in the Declaration of Independence. Regardless of any previous debate as to whether the DOI may be considered binding law, We The People, from whom all Just Powers are drawn, holding Preeminence over all branches of Government, do hereby establish and ordain that it shall henceforth hold the full authority of binding law.
Our government is a Constitutional Government, which is, by definition a contractual agreement. Parties to the agreement carry full fiduciary duty to fulfill the Obligation of Contract as it is established within the binding document. The Obligation of Contract under our Constitution has been catastrophically breached by many individuals holding Office both currently and for many previous generations, to the point that our government would be virtually unrecognizable to the original drafters.
The architects of the Constitution of 1787 held as their primary intention to establish a Government with very limited power in order not to infringe upon Personal Liberty. Among the legacy of their writings is the profound warning that Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts absolutely. When emerging from Liberty Hall, after the Constitution had been drafted, Benjamin Franklin was asked: “What sort of Government shall we have then, Sir?” To which he replied: “A Republic Madam, if you can keep it.” We The People hereby proclaim that We Shall Keep It.
There have been many attempts by the beneficiaries of the Trust established between We The People and the apparatus of Government, to achieve a process through which we may achieve a meaningful redress of grievances.
Through more and more cumbersome processes and policies, with motives other than to preserve and protect the Constitution and the Benefits of Liberty for the American People, our Unalienable Rights have been profoundly usurped and subjugated. The operation of Government is not in Compliance with the form in which it was authorized to function. The constraints intended to be imposed by the checks and balances of the three branches of Government have not been implemented as designed and have been proven incapable of self correction.
The Constitution is no longer functioning to restrain Government from tyranny. Congress regularly passes Unconstitutional laws. Executive Orders disallow Constitutional constraints. The Supreme Court, under the Doctrine of Judicial Review, makes Decisions which declare actions specifically prohibited by our Supreme Law of the Land, to be suddenly ‘Constitutional.’
The most often cited authority through which the doctrine of judicial review has been established as the preeminent arbiter of any question of Constitutionality is Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 1 Cranch 137 (1803). What has been grievously disregarded is that the same case also dictates that the ‘very letter of the law’ be adhered to. It does not countenance that the literal, complete and intended affect of each word, each syllable, and exact meaning derived from the order of the words not be adhered to.
In fact, the opinion written by Chief Justice John Marshal spends far more time describing the exacting standard of application which the Court is required to use in order to assure absolute adherence to the original document than he spends establishing that it is the Supreme Court which must undertake the burdensome thoroughness of this task. The primary source of the preeminence of the Doctrine of Judicial Review also adamantly establishes that “any law repugnant to the Constitution is no law at all.” It also requires that the Text of the Constitution itself must be adhered to, and not diluted by previous decisions which may have wavered from exact application of the Constitution as originally written and intended.
The Doctrine of Judicial Review disallows any such thing as ‘long-established Law providing an exception…’ to a clause or an amendment.
This demonstrates effectively that the ‘theories’ of determining Constitutionality are complete fictions except that which examines the exact words as they were defined at the time they were written.
The Peoples’s Constitutional Oversight Grand Juries shall not be governed by the doctrine of Stare Decisis. Common Law shall be the legal format as dictated by the Constitution.
Constitutional Oversight Grand Juries shall be seated in each State with 63 jurists, 21 new jurists being shall be seated each year, and 21 jurists retired each year in a three year cycle so that each Constitutional Jurist shall be seated for a period of three years at the State level. Each year, 3 jurists of the retiring group shall be elected by their peers from among those scoring within the top 25% on the qualifying tests, to serve on the federal Grand Jury for Constitutional Oversight. Successful completion of Classes on the Constitution will be required for graduation from high school. Additional Constitution curriculum shall be available at jr. colleges, colleges and Universities, in order to qualify as a Constitutional Jurist, one must be tested for proficiency. Those who qualify will be placed in the jurists pool and henceforth receive a 5% tax credit. The Constitutional Oversight Grand Juries shall exercise the power of jury nullification, and provide the final word on Constitutionality of all legislation, judicial decisions, executive orders and agency policies and practices. Constitutional jurists shall be entitled to the equivalent pay and Benefits as members of Congress, and interaction with lobbyists and special interests groups is prohibited.
