Subject: SLS: state Citizens cannot vote, or serve on juries
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
There are two classes of citizenship
-and-
one class of citizenship may exist in someone
without the other
-meaning-
one can be a state Citizen without also being
a citizen of the United States (aka federal citizen).
It is quite clear, then, that there is a citizenship of
the United States** and a citizenship of a State, which
are distinct from each other and which depend upon
different characteristics or circumstances in the
individual.
[Slaughter House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873)]
[emphasis added]
We have in our political system a Government of the
United States** and a government of each of the several
States. Each one of these governments is distinct from
the others, and each has citizens of its own ....
Slaughter-House Cases
[United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875)]
[emphasis added]
A person who is a citizen of the United States** is
necessarily a citizen of the particular state in which
he resides. But a person may be a citizen of a
particular state and not a citizen of the United
States**. To hold otherwise would be to deny to the
state the highest exercise of its sovereignty, -- the
right to declare who are its citizens.
[State v. Fowler, 41 La. Ann. 380]
[6 S. 602 (1889), emphasis added]
There are, then, under our republican form of
government, two classes of citizens, one of the United
States** and one of the state. One class of citizenship
may exist in a person, without the other, as in the
case of a resident of the District of Columbia; but
both classes usually exist in the same person.
[Gardina v. Board of Registrars, 160 Ala. 155]
[48 S. 788, 791 (1909), emphasis added]

The Guest quote below is predicated on a specific, and yet
erroneous, construction of Section 1 of the so-called
14th amendment [sic]. The unrebutted historical facts
recited in Dyett v. Turner by the Utah Supreme Court in
1968 leave no doubt whatsoever that this so-called amendment
is a total and utter fraud. The authorities above make it
very clear that one may be a Citizen of one of the several
states, without also being a citizen of the United States.
I suspect that this quote from Guest is a dictum anyway,
not a holding. Since I have not read it yet, I surmise
that it had to do with the right to travel "through every
part of it", i.e. the "United States" (which has three
meanings, by the way). The fallacy in this notion -- that
there is one big national community -- is to be found in
the law which defines "citizenship," strictly speaking,
to be a term of municipal law, not national law. Thus,
we have 51 jurisdictions, and citizenship of 51 different
political communities. The Cruikshank case explains that
law most clearly: "each has citizens of its own" (see above).

>one common country. We are all citizens of the United States; and as
>members of the same community, we must have the right to pass and repass

>QUESTIONS: When the Supreme Court declares me a Citizen of the united

The Right of Election. See also the myriad of
cases cited in Appendices A and Y in
"The Federal Zone: Cracking the Code of Internal
Revenue."
By the way, strictly speaking,
the phrase "Citizen of the united States"
does not occur anywhere in Law.
Compare 1:2:2, 1:3:3, and 2:1:5.
Nor does the phrase "Federal Citizen"
occur anywhere in law. See Black's
Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition (with
pronunciations).

>>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

>>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.
