<snip>
>Mississippi Campout CAP
>
>Some points and definitions need to be made.
>
>1) Foreign Corporation - A corporation chartered in another state.
>2) (Incorporation) Decree
>
>To do business in the State of Mississippi a Foreign Corporation must be
>registered with the State of Mississippi.
>To be lawfully and legally a City in the State of Mississippi, an entity must
>have a DECREE on file at the Chancery Clerk’s Office in the County in which
>it incorporates, and also with the State of Mississippi.
>
>When Bill Cockrell called and asked for the assistance of the Mississippi
>Militia, I asked him some questions so I could check the situation out. I
>told him that I was going to check him out also. He told me the City of
>Southaven did not legally exist in Mississippi. I studied contract law in a
>Business Law Class in College and I knew any contract entered into by this
>“City” would be null and void if it wasn’t legally incorporated. Our
>Intelligence Officer checked with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office
>and they had no legal information that the City of Southaven existed.
>Therefore, I committed to assisting the Cockrell’s in their fight because I
>knew they were right in the major area of Contract Law.
>
>I saw the following documents while I was at the Cockrell’s home.
>1) Notarized copy from the Chancery Clerk of DeSoto County, Mississippi
>stating Southaven did NOT have a DECREE on file.
>
>2) The Cockrell’s had filed for discovery against the Shelby County Airport
>Authority (Memphis International Airport Owner/Manager/Controller?). I was
>present when the answer came. The Authority admitted: a) It wasn’t
>registered in Mississippi, b) It had entered into a contract with Southaven
>to furnish the funding for Imminent Domain proceedings against the
>Cockrell’s.
>
>Here are the problems associated with 1) and 2), a) & b).
>It is against Mississippi Law for an Unregistered Corporation to do business
>in the State. The Authority took funds from a VOLUNTARY (49 CFR Part 24,
>a,b, & c) Federal Program and illegally purchased land in Mississippi. Some
>of these same funds were used to finance the Imminent Domain proceedings
>which breaks Federal Law because it was a voluntary program and none of the
>funds were to be used for condemnation (Imminent Domain).
>
>Bill Cockrell thinks the Authority and Southaven have broken 30 to 50 State
>and Federal laws. I talked to several of the Cockrell’s previous neighbors
>and they all say they were coerced or intimidated into selling their homes at
>less than the felt they were worth. I suggested, since Southaven did not
>legally exist and the Authority could not legally own land in Mississippi,
>they should sue for damages and to get their property back.
>
>I received a call today from the Cockrell’s. They received a STAY of Removal
>signed by the Judge who has agreed to hear their appeal of the Eviction
>Notice until all legal procedures are completed. Bill says he can keep it
>tied up in court for another 10 to 20 years. The property is in TRUST to
>their 10 year old son, Jeffrey. He owns the place!!

>Some of the e-mail reports that were sent by others are attached.

> Bill Cockrell has been a patriot for many, many years. He lives at 8767
>Woodbine Place, Southaven, Mississippi. Of the 18 houses which used to
>stand on Woodbine Place, Bill's is the only one left standing. His house
>has been the center of controversy and national attention since January 28,
>1997 when he was told by the attorneys at Bridgforth and Buntin,
>representing the City of Southaven, his home would be demolished on January
>30th at high noon.
>
> As of today, Bill's home is still standing, his case is on appeal, and
>the sheriff decided not to try and enforce an expired warrant.
>
> The Memphis International Airport is located in Memphis, Tenn. near the
>Mississippi border. It has been expanding its facilities and wanted to
>expand towards Mississippi. It sought to buy out the homes in the pathway
>of its expansion plans. 17 families sold their property to the Memphis
>Airport Authority and those homes were torn down. Bill and his family,
>however, did not want to leave their home. They are debt free and want to
>stay that way. When they brought the fact that they lived in Mississippi
>and not Tennessee to the attention of the Airport Authority, the MIA then
>turned to the City of Southaven, Miss. to do their dirty work for them.
>
> Southaven, Miss. decided to try and pull eminent domain on the Cockrells.
>There was a problem. Southaven is not incorporated and is a de facto entity
>and not a de jure one. In addition the Memphis Airport has never
>regisitered their articles of incorporation and does not have a certificate
>of incorporation. Therefore any contract they have signed is null and void.
>
> The Cockrell's case is on appeal at this time. Patriots, friends and
>neighbors have come and stood with the Cockrells in this time of need. They
>have endured harassment by the Southaven police for excercising their God
>given liberties. They have kept the Cockrell's home from being demolished
>and they have shown a spotlight on their situation.
>
> >>>>>ACTION<<<<<
>
> This situation is far from over. Bill and Carolyn Cockrell are standing
>on Biblical and legal principles. The greatest fear now is for the safety
>of the Cockrell family. People are needed to come to the Cockrell home and
>stand vigil with them. One brave 63 year-old grandmother stood by herself
>for several hours one night. If she can, we can. You can call the
>Cockrells at (601) 342-2095 for directions on how to reach their home.
>
> We don't want them to be subjected to one of the government's pre-dawn
>raids where they are killed for their own safety. If you wish to come and
>support the Cockrells the only weapons you need are your cameras and tape
>recorders. Leave your camoflage wear at home and wear regular clothing.
>The media is looking for ways to portray the Cockrells as "anti-government"
>and "dangerous right wing" people.
>
> As of now the police have stopped harassing passersby. This is due to
>media exposure. Please pray for the success of the Cockrells in keeping
>their home and for their safety and the safety of those who are supporting
>them. A victory for them is a victory for us all. I will be spending the
>night at the Cockrell's home tomorrow night and will be able to give you
>more information as to their legal stance.
