Subject: SLS: state Citizens cannot vote, or serve on juries (the PROOF)
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Hello Terry et al.,
I have been incommunicado for an hour,
because I was downloading the Eudora Pro
Version 3.0.3 update file, and installing it.
It seems to work just fine. My compliments
to Qualcomm, for a really great product.
In the interim, I obviously missed something
that I very much want to join.
To begin, here is the proof that a state Citizen
cannot vote, or serve on a jury, in Arizona state:
I am quoting directly now from the Arizona Revised
Statutes ("ARS"), which I can fax to you, if you need
the proof in hand.
Quoting now:
[begin excerpt]
Chapter 2
Jurors
Article 1. Qualifications and Exemptions
ARS 21-201. Qualifications
Every juror, grand and trial, shall be at least
eighteen years of age and meet the qualifications
for voter registration prescribed by § 16-101. <--!!!!
[end excerpt]
So, we jump directly to the qualifications for
voter registration, to wit:
[begin excerpt]
ARS 16-101. Qualifications for registrant; definition
A. Every resident of the state is qualified to register
to vote if he:
1. Is a citizen of the United States [sic].
2. Will be eighteen years of age or more ....
B. For purposes of this title, "resident" means an individual
who has actual physical presence in the state, or for
purposes of a political subdivision actual physical
presence in the political subdivision, combined with an
intent to remain. A temporary absence does not result in a
loss of residence if the individual has an intent to return
following his absence. An individual has only one residence
for purposes of this title.
[end excerpt]
State Citizens are just not mentioned.
There you have it, in Arizona, at least.
This same problem occurs in most, if not all,
of the other Union states. The fastest way
to check is to obtain the voter registration form,
which is very often available at the U.S. Post Office.
It is a felony to falsify voter registration forms.
This is a blatant violation of the Guarantee
Clause, and Article I, Section 2, Clause 1.
State Citizens are prevented from choosing their
Representatives in the House of Representatives,
because they are prevented from voting in general
elections, period!
Federal citizens are members of an association
who owe their allegiance to the federal zone,
where the Guarantee Clause is not in force.
This zone is subject to the municipal laws of
Congress.
Citizenship is a term of municipal law.
The Guarantee Clause does not require the United States
to guarantee a Republican Form of Government to itself.
Read it!
We explain all of this in Gilbertson's OPENING BRIEF,
which is now before a federal Circuit Court of
Appeals. A copy-protected hard copy is available
from Us for $25. We are selling this embossed and
certified copy, to raise funds for Gilbertson's
continuing legal defense fund. Details are available
from me, on request (fax is best).
We also covered this on the ZOH Show broadcast on
AM yesterday morning in Maryland state. Numerous
people have written to say they thought the interview
was excellent (their words, not mine). I am just
reporting here, okay?
I am standing by.
Sincerely,
/s/ Paul Mitchell

For Immediate Release November 2, 1996
State Citizens Cannot Vote
by
Paul Andrew Mitchell
All Rights Reserved
(November 1996)
PAYSON, ARIZONA. A state Citizen will be denied the chance to
vote on Tuesday, if the State of Arizona has its way. Paul
Andrew Mitchell, Counselor at Law and federal witness, has been
using every administrative means available to register as a
"Qualified Elector" for next Tuesday's general election. There
is only one problem: he is not a federal citizen, and the voter
registration form requires that he certify, under penalty of
perjury, that he is a federal citizen. Moreover, the penalty for
falsifying information on an Arizona voter registration affidavit
is a class 6 felony conviction.
Mitchell has been researching the federal constitution and
statute laws full-time for 7 years now. Among his findings is a
discovery of several court cases which held that Americans can be
state Citizens without also being "citizens of the United
States," or "federal citizens," as they are also called in the
legal dictionaries. Mitchell has come to believe that the
federal government has lately become a criminal enterprise,
relying upon blatant extortion to collect money and coerce
cooperation from the American People. He wants no part of the
federal government, until and unless its agents start obeying
American Laws never repealed. Mitchell is also working to
restore integrity to the American court system.
As Counselor at Law in a federal case in which a grand jury
had subpoened the books and records of an Arizona pure trust,
Mitchell's research led him to find further flaws in the federal
Jury Selection and Service Act, the law which Congress passed to
select and convene federal grand and trial juries. In one
section of this law, Congress makes it a federal policy that all
citizens shall have the opportunity to serve on federal grand
juries and federal trial juries. Then, 4 sections later,
Congress makes it a requirement that jury candidates be federal
citizens before they are qualified to serve. There is no mention
of state Citizens anywhere in this Act, and no regulations have
been promulgated for it either.
The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled, more than once,
that class discrimination in the selection of juries is grounds
for disqualifying the entire jury, even if the individual jurors
are otherwise qualified. Imagine if the law said that only women
could serve on federal juries; this would be a clear case of
class discrimination, because men would be systematically
excluded as a class. Because there are two classes of
citizenship in America, not one, the Jury Selection and Service
State Citizens Cannot Vote: Page 1 of 2
Act is unconstitutional for limiting jury service to one and
only one of those two classes of citizens. So, if you are a
state Citizen who is not also a federal citizen, you can't vote,
you can't serve on a grand jury, and you can't serve on a trial
jury either.
Paul Mitchell is now faced with some very difficult choices.
As a political activist, with degrees in Political Science and
Public Administration, and seven years of constitutional research
under his belt, and with proof of his birth to American parents
within one of the several Union States, he is now denied any
voice in the management of his state and federal governments. He
cannot vote, he cannot serve on a grand jury, and he cannot serve
on a trial jury. And, of course, the government contends that it
can continue to tax such a man, without representation within the
Congress. "No taxation without representation" was a proud
rallying cry for many Americans who eventually defeated the
British in the Revolutionary War, despite enormous odds.
Mitchell recently escalated the matter by filing a formal
written Notice and Demand with Arizona Governor Fife Symington,
to order that state's Attorney General to register Mitchell as a
qualified elector. Rumor has it that the AG is refusing to
disclose the registry of state Citizens who now inhabit the
Arizona Republic. Mitchell tried to confirm this rumor by
demanding that he be added to the registry, so that he may have
an opportunity to choose his representative in the House of
Representatives in Washington, D.C. Courts have ruled that the
Right to choose our representatives is a fundamental Right, and
Congress has made it a felony to deprive Citizens of any of their
fundamental Rights, in the federal criminal code (18 U.S.C. 242).
After receiving Mitchell's Notice and Demand, someone in the
Governor's office sent Mitchell another voter registration
affidavit: FOR U.S. CITIZENS ONLY -- IT IS A CLASS 6 FELONY TO
FALSIFY THIS FORM! There was no return address on the envelope
which bore the form, through U.S. Mail. It is also a crime to
put fraudulent material into the U.S. Mail.
Mitchell is preparing to sue the State of Arizona, and all
government employees who have chosen to ignore this problem, soon
after Tuesday's election, if Arizona cannot come up with a way to
get Mitchell to the polls by the time they close on Tuesday.
Paul Andrew Mitchell may soon become the Susan B. Anthony of the
Twentieth Century.
