Jury Update: American Grand Jury to Hear Evidence Soon

Jury Update: American Grand Jury to Hear Evidence Soon

Bob Campbell, editor at AmericanGrandJury.org, reports that the first “people’s grand jury” is expected to convene before the end of April:

The Online American Grand Jury is moving forward to hear evidence to make a formal presentment (charge) that Barack Obama, aka: Barry Sortero is not a “Natural Born Citizen” and therefore ineligible to hold office as the President of the United States. We will hear all evidence that pertains to this charge. All evidence will be viewed and reviewed by the jury behind closed “password protected website” doors. The jury has been formed (we have over 50 registrations right now). We are now waiting on the formal “Oath of Office” documents to be returned and registered before proceeding with the hearing. We expect to convene the first People’s Grand Jury before the month of April is over.

If you are interested in becoming a Jury member please contact us using the link below. The more jury members we have the better. Becoming a Jury Member is FREE. We can convene multiple Grand Juries if we exceed membership numbers. Each jury will have 25 members with alternates.

All proceedings and presentments of our Grand Jury hearings are conducted and handed down in secrecy. All Jury membership is confidential (members are known only to other serving jury members and AGJ). Such presentments (if any) will be forwarded to ANY Court in the Nation that wishes to review the presentments and proceed with prosecution of the Defendant. What that means is: If any American Grand Jury member wishes to take the presentment(s) to their local, State or Federal jurisdictions and file such presentment(s), then American Grand Jury will provide the paperwork for such member to do just that. American Grand Jury is a people’s grand jury. We assume our power and authority from the Constitution of the United States, Bill of Rights, Amendment 5:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury..

American Grand Jury wishes to make it absolutely clear, we are not here to threaten any court, prosecutor or jurisdiction. That is illegal and we are not interested in things that are illegal. If and when presentments are given to any Court in the Nation we fully expect to cooperate with that Court to help them proceed with their job, that is the indicting and prosecuting of the person or persons charged in the Grand Jury presentments.

The power of the people is measured in masses. The more people that wake up and start to pay attention to what is happening in our Country with respect to corruption and government abuse the better informed our Nation and its people will become. Government is here to protect the people and to adhere to the Constitution and the laws of the land. When Government fails to do that then we as a Nation all lose. [emphases in original]

    In fairness to this site, Phil has not himself taken that position; he has allowed it here without objection, while censoring or chastising more moderate comments on the other side, but he has not written to advance, nor personally endorsed, such bigotry.

    Appreciate the kind words.

    While it would certainly be helpful for someone to be moral/ethical going into the White House, as far as I’m concerned, as long as they meet the constitutional qualifications for office, I have to live with whatever occurs.

    reads:

    Barack Hussein Obama is a privileged African-American, who has not shared the black American experience. By birth, blood and training, he was a Muslim, who became a member of a Marxist, Black-African church.

    If anyone doubted why we o-bots decry bigotry against Presidents Obama, well, there it is, on display.

    Hi all,

    Here is a link to a good website with information on Obama and his rise to power. A great starting place to find evidence of how Obama has pulled off his hoax and covered his tracks. What allowed him to do this. Imo, the enabling main stream media (MSM) which abandoned its role in our system to fully vet a candidate for such a high office and which totally did not thoroughly investigate him, demand release of his hidden and sealed records, and even ran interference for him against those who were seeking release of the information and records :

    Reality Check,

    I have not said, nor do I remember anyone saying, that pretend grand juries are illegal. They may be laughable, powerless, pointless, a waste of time, and ridiculous but they are not illegal. They would become illegal only if they attempted to usurp powers that they do not have.

    You are still incorrect. These are not “de facto” juries. The term “de facto” would imply that they have similar powers as a real jury but without being “de jure”. A more acccurate term would be “pretend” grand jury. They are more like a small theater group acting out a poorly written, one act play.

    Reality Check,

    The first statement is correct. The second statement is entirely incorrect because real juries are established by the judiciary and are bestowed with power to indict or convict beforehand. Enforcement is guaranteed if the process is followed according to the rule of law. The first case it is just a crowd getting together. In the second case the findings must be acted upon. That is a huge difference. That is analogous to the difference between a child’s toy gun and a loaded .45 caliber pistol.

    One thing that I have noticed nobody actually saying, however, is the fact that it is not illegal nor by any means unconstitutional for a common law grand jury to be empaneled.

    So, while the “de facto” jury may be empaneled within the confines of the Judiciary, it is nevertheless still an independent body that must make its own presentment to be submitted to an entity of the Judiciary.

  • RE: the power of the Grand Jury to operate independent of the prosecutor or indeed target a prosecutor. Take a look at this little tid bit:

    Because grand juries are generally composed of ordinary citizens with no special training or experience in the law, they usually follow the lead of the prosecutor assigned to them. The classic complaint of defendants’ attorneys is that grand jurors would indict a ham sandwich if the prosecutor asked them to. But they don’t always do as the prosecutor wishes, as Jeannene Pacific, the district attorney in Jones County, Mississippi, discovered. Ms. Pacific became the target of her own grand jury when it sought to investigate over $35,000 paid by the county’s Worthless Check Unit to Pacific and her staff as “salary supplements.” Alarmed, Pacific asked the local court to forbid the grand jury’s actions. Although the local court did so, the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled that the grand jury had the power to investigate:

    “The grand jury must be free to pursue its investigations unhindered by external influence or supervision so long as it does not trench on the legitimate rights of any witness called before it. The court generally cannot limit the grand jury, its legitimate investigation, interfere with its investigatory function, control the nature of its investigation, prohibit consideration of offenses within any particular class of crimes, stay its proceedings, dismiss a matter, or do various other things.”

    Ms. Pacific and her assistant eventually repaid over $30,000.

    Exactly, these Citizen Grand Juries serve as both a method of training for Presentment to Judicially Convened Grand Juries and for gathering evidence for Presentment.

    To that extent, these Citizen Grand Juries are productive as long as they are not handled improperly.

  • The feigned humor of brygenon is another one of the stale logical fallacies that permeate the rhetoric of Obama supporters.

    Also Known as: Appeal to Mockery, The Horse Laugh.
    Description of Appeal to Ridicule
    The Appeal to Ridicule is a fallacy in which ridicule or mockery is substituted for evidence in an ” argument.” This line of ” reasoning” has the following form:
    1. X, which is some form of ridicule, is presented (typically directed at the claim).
    2. Therefore claim C is false.
    This sort of “reasoning” is fallacious because mocking a claim does not show that it is false. This is especially clear in the following example: “1+1=2! That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!”

    Examples of Appeal to Ridicule
    1. “Sure my worthy opponent claims that we should lower tuition, but that is just laughable.”
    2. “Support the ERA? Sure, when the women start paying for the drinks! Hah! Hah!”
    3. “Those wacky conservatives! They think a strong military is the key to peace!”

    http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-fraud-american-grand-jury-formal.html

    This Grand Jury deals in criminal charges not law suits.

    Mark has provided us with some very powerful ammunition. Here are some suggestions on how to use it

    · Get Mark’s article published on your sites ASAP – it validates the cause for potential jurors

    · Print Marks article to include with the presentments

    · Notify prosecutors that if they do not take action they will be considered by the Grand Jury as co-conspirators and indicted along with AKA.* see below

    Mark’s article makes it very clear that Grand Juries have much more clout that a civil law suit. Keep in mind all we need is for one prosecutor and one judge to order that a criminal trial be held. The whole thing will be over during the discovery phase.

    *When it is obvious that they prosecutors are not going to cooperate it is only fair to tell them that their abject refusal to act on the Grand Jury’s findings can only be seen as a criminal act that must be indicted. Certainly we won’t lead with that pronouncement.

    “Biden as President” “overwhelming evidence”

    Where was all this “overwhelming evidence” before election day? If such evidence existed, Hillary and McCain would have used it lonnnnng before Nov 4th. Use your noodle.

    But I’ll play with your hypothetical… Of course that is the only outcome. Read your Constitution. A sitting President can only be removed by impeachment and conviction by the Congress. In that case, the Vice President becomes President and holds the office until he is replaced by election, serves two whole terms of his own, or such time as he is unable to serve. If you didn’t want a Democrat in the White House, you should have worked harder to get your guy elected. Try harder next time. You didn’t really think there would be some sort of Presidential election do-over did you? Really? No, tell me none of you thought that.

    If Obama is made to resign and Biden becomes president I would think all laws signed by O would be null and void——–however….
    do you remember Biden saying that HE (Biden) is at Os side at all times and is watching everything that Obama is signing into law?

    It was a few months ago Biden made that comment–who’s to say that Biden isn’t signing as a co-signer——-would they all be null and void? I guess so, since this president is an illegal fraud which I guess makes Biden nothing….not even Senator!! That would put Biden out of politics completely!

    But after reading Ginsberg article about wanting to use International Law here–who knows what is legal anymore. What a tangled web they have woven.

    We can only hope that Obama is found ineligible and is made to either resign or be impeached and put out–forever and take his dirt bag criminals with him.

    What I am thinking is that we end up with Biden as president because Barack was inaugurated and has assumed the the OOPOTUS. I am hoping that I am wrong only because of what he has signed into law, I would like to see all of that null and void.

  • I hope folks realize this effort only serves to provide awareness of the importance of this issue and NOTHING else.

    It does not have the backing of the constitution to remove a SITTING President.

    It utterly lacks the precedent of law in the hope of seeking redress.

    Write the the US and DC AGs as to your displeasure and concerns…don’t be a hypocrite and hold faith with the constitutional mechanisms for redress.

    If the AGs fail to press the QW route, it falls on the citizenry to retain counsel that will press our “third party” rights under statute.

    Delusional “wishful thinking” is NOT a problem solving instrument for the correction of this gross error in the election of Mr. Obama. Similarly, neither is the abrogation of the constitution to save he republic.

    My two cents.
