14th amendment was not ratified.
See Dyett v. Turner, Utah Supreme Court (1968).
This decision is on the Internet; use Alta Vista
to find it.
Even if it had been ratified, courts ruled
AFTER 1868 that one can be a state
Citizen without also being a citizen
of the United States (read "federal
citizen"). I have already sent to
you some of the important cases.
Gardina and State v. Fowler are key
decisions in this debate.
Check them out! A lot of time
went into assembling this research.

Yes, this is the construction which I wish to
give to the term, and this construction is
supported by the Philippine Supreme Court,
which held that "citizenship," strictly
speaking, is a term of municipal law.
It is important to remember that Congress
can only legislate under specifically enumerated
authorities, when it legislates for the entire
Nation. It has no power or right to alter the
meaning of terms in the U.S. Constitution.
This principle was explained eloquently in the
case of Eisner v. Macomber. Congress cannot by
legislation alter the constitution, from which
alone it derives its power to legislate, and
within whose limitations alone that power can
be lawfully exercised. When Congress legislates
for the entire nation, it is legislating public
international law; when Congress legislates
for the federal zone, it is legislating private
international law, also known as municipal law.

1:2:2; 1:3:3, 2:1:5; 3:2:1; and 4:2:1 [REMEMBER THESE!!]
"Citizen of the United States" in these
provisions means "Citizen of ONE OF
the States United". See People v.
De La Guerra, California Supreme Court,
for this holding. These provisions have
never been amended, and they retain the
meaning they had when the U.S. Constitution
was first ratified.

>>
>>
>> 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.
