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repealed.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 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. > > > # # # > >
