THE LEGAL POWER OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
1.The concept that the Bill of Rights and other constitutional protections against arbitrary government are inoperative when they become inconvenient or when expediency dictates otherwise is a very dangerous doctrine and if allowed to flourish would destroy the benefit of a written Constitution and undermine the basis of our government. – Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black
- Show me that age and country where the rights and liberties of the people were placed on the sole chance of their rulers being good men, without a consequent loss of liberty? – Patrick Henry
- The Bill of Rights wasn’t enacted to give us any rights. It was enacted so the Government could not take away from us any rights that we already had. – Kenneth G. Eade, author
- The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities, and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections. – Robert H. Jackson, Supreme Court Justice
- Education on the value of free speech and the other freedoms reserved by the Bill of Rights, about what happens when you don’t have them, and about how to exercise and protect them, should be an essential prerequisite for being an American citizen — or indeed a citizen of any nation, the more so to the degree that such rights remain unprotected. If we can’t think for ourselves, if we’re unwilling to question authority, then we’re just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us … In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.” – Carl Sagan, astronomer
- “There are two ways to choke off free expression. We’ve already discussed one of them: clamp down on free speech and declare some topics off-limits. That strategy is straightforward enough. The other, more insidious way to limit free expression is to try to change the very language people use” – Dennis Prager, author
- “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.” – Noah Webster
- “The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, … or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press.” –
Thomas Jefferson - “In 1942, there were 110,000 Japanese American citizens in good standing, law-abiding people who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That’s all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had: “Right this way” into the internment camps! Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most, their government took them away! And rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re just privileges.” – George Carlin
- “The first article of the Bill of Rights provides that Congress shall make no law respecting freedom of worship or abridging freedom of opinion. There are some among us who seem to feel that this provision goes too far, even for the purpose of preventing tyranny over the mind of man. Of course, there are dangers in religious freedom and freedom of opinion. But to deny these rights is worse than dangerous, it is absolutely fatal to liberty. The external threat to liberty should not drive us into suppressing liberty at home. Those who want the Government to regulate matters of the mind and spirit are like men who are so afraid of being murdered that they commit suicide to avoid assassination.” – Harry Truman
- “In respect to political rights, we hold woman to be justly entitled to all we claim for man. We go farther and express our conviction that all political rights which it is expedient for man to exercise, it is equally so for women. All that distinguishes man as an intelligent and accountable being, is equally true of woman; and if that government is only just which governs by the free consent of the governed, there can be no reason in the world for denying to woman the exercise of the elective franchise, or a hand in making and administering the laws of the land. Our doctrine is, that “Right is of no sex.” – Frederick Douglass
- “The Bill of Rights is the United States. The United States is the Bill of Rights. Compromise the Bill of Rights and you dissolve the very foundation upon which the Union stands… Nowhere in the Bill of Rights are the words ‘unless inconvenient’ to be found.” – A. E. Samaan, historia
The Grand Jury Belongs to The People–Antonin Scalia (1992)
Dec 8, 2013 by Edken
United States v. Williams, 112 S.Ct. 1735, 504 U.S. 36, 118 L.Ed.2d 352 (1992)
http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/504/36
NEW YORK IS “GROUND ZERO” – Major grassroots movement in 48 States, Constituting Common Law Grand Juries. In a stunning six to three, 1992 Decision that went unnoticed, until now, Justice Antonin Scalia writing for the majority said:
In the Supreme Court case of United States v. Williams, 112 S.Ct. 1735, 504 U.S. 36, 118 L.Ed.2d 352 (1992), Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, confirmed that the American grand jury is neither part of the judicial, executive nor legislative branches of government, but instead belongs to the people. It is in effect a fourth branch of government
“governed” and administered to directly by and on behalf of the American people, and its authority emanates from the Bill of Rights, the acts of the Grand Jury is the consent of the people. “The grand jury is mentioned in the Bill of Rights, but not in the body of the Constitution. It has not been textually assigned, therefore, to any of the branches described in the first three Articles. It ” ‘is a constitutional fixture in its own right. In fact the whole theory of its function is that it belongs to no branch of the institutional government, serving as a
kind of buffer or referee between the Government and the people”. — Justice Antonin Scalia
“Thus, citizens have the unbridled right to empanel their own grand juries and present “True Bills” of indictment to a court, which is then required to commence a criminal proceeding. Our Founding Fathers presciently thereby created a “buffer” the people may rely upon for justice, when public officials, including judges, criminally violate the law.” —
Justice Antonin Scalia “The grand jury is an institution separate from the courts, over whose functioning the courts do not preside, we think it clear that, as a general matter at least, no such “supervisory” judicial authority exists. The “common law” of the Fifth Amendment demands a traditional functioning grand jury.” — Justice Antonin Scalia “Although the grand jury normally operates, of course, in the courthouse and under judicial auspices, its institutional relationship with the judicial branch has traditionally been, so to speak, at arm’s length. Judges’ direct involvement in the functioning of the grand jury has generally been confined to the constitutive one of calling the grand jurors together and administering their oaths of office. The grand jury’s functional independence from the judicial branch is evident both in the scope of its power to investigate criminal wrongdoing, and in the manner in which that power is exercised.”
— Justice Antonin Scalia “The grand jury ‘can investigate merely on suspicion that the law is being violated, or even because it wants assurance that it is not.’ It need not identify the offender it suspects, or even “the precise nature of the offense” it is investigating.
The grand jury requires no authorization from its constituting court to initiate an investigation, nor does the prosecutor require leave of court to seek a grand jury indictment. And in its day-to-day functioning, the grand jury generally operates without the interference of a presiding judge. It swears in its own witnesses and deliberates in total secrecy.” – – Justice Antonin Scalia
“Recognizing this tradition of independence, we have said the 5th Amendment’s constitutional guarantee presupposes an investigative body ‘acting independently of either prosecuting attorney or judge” — Justice Antonin Scalia “Given the grand jury’s operational separateness from its constituting court, it should come as no surprise that we have been reluctant to invoke the judicial supervisory power as a basis for prescribing modes of grand jury procedure. Over
the years, we have received many requests to exercise supervision over the grand jury’s evidence-taking process, but we have refused them all. “it would run counter to the whole history of the grand jury institution” to permit an indictment mto be challenged “on the ground that there was incompetent or inadequate evidence before the grand jury.” — Justice Antonin Scalia
Justice William J. Brennan Jr., explained in U.S. v. Verdugo-Urquidez (494 U.S. 247, 288, 1990): “The term ‘the people’ is better understood as a rhetorical counterpoint ‘to the government’… that rights that were reserved to ‘the people’ were to protect all those subject to ‘the government.’ … The Bill of Rights did not purport to ‘create’ rights. Rather, they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be pre-existing.” In U.S. v. Verdugo-Urquidez (1990), the Supreme Court stated: “‘The people’ protected by the Fourth Amendment, and by the First and Second Amendments, and to whom rights and powers are reserved in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, refers to a class of persons who are part of a national community. … The Fourth Amendment’s drafting history shows that its purpose was to protect the people of the United States against arbitrary action by their own government.”
AMENDMENT 1 - U.S. CONSTITUTION - REDRESS OF GREVIENCES - PROACTICAL ACTION AND USE.
EXAMPLE OF - A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT INDEPENDENT CITIZENS GRAND JURIES
Whereas -The Founders of the United States of America understood the nature of all men, when given power was to use their positions in government to corruptly rule over their people and take the people’s liberty and freedom from them.
Whereas -The writers of the Declaration of Independence recognized that the people would need a legal method of removing corrupt officials from power and created that means in the foundational statement of that revered document, quote. “ We hold these truths self evident: that if government becomes destructive of these ends (the people’s God given rights) it is the right of the people to alter and/or abolish…”, and made that the primary law of the United States in the annotated legal code as Section one as organic or permanent unchangeable, undeniable federal law.
Whereas -The Constitution of the United States was and is a set of government rules to support this specific People’s Power, as can be seen in it’s beginning authority “We, the people of the United States..”, a statement that means nothing without the people’s power and authority stated specifically in the Declaration’s primary law statement and recognized as foundational law.
Whereas -The use of Independent Citizens Grand Juries have been a fixture in the government of the United States from the beginning and before to the 1600s and recognized in their specific authority and power to adjudicated corrupt officials as they saw fit and was thus codified in the 5th Amendment and affirmed multiple times by the United States Supreme Court.
Whereas as recent as 1991, and 2013 the U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed that citizens have this right to form Independent Citizens Grand Juries, free of government control, designated a 4th branch of government, unaccountable to any other branch of government. (112 S.Ct. 1735 504 U.S. 36 118 L.Ed.2d 352 UNITED STATES, Petitioner v. John H. WILLIAMS, Jr.)
Whereas -The recent decades government denial of this legal method of holding our government officials accountable for their illegal actions, rulings, decrees, and programs have taken the freedoms and liberties of our citizens, reducing them to mere subjects and surfs of an increasingly corrupt and overbearing government.
Therefore , Be it Resolved, that we, the People of the United States recognize the validity of all Independent Citizens common law Grand Juries and will support their actions and defend them against all attempts by government officials to silence, coerce, attack, and/or disband them, and will support their actions to make corrupt government officials, policies, and programs accountable to the people as has been and is the People’s legal and irrevocable right to do. We also support U. S. federal law that makes any attempt by government officials to do the above a crime by them personally and subject to adjudication as well. In addition, it is also recognized that any refusal to indict a citizens common law grand jury indictment presented to government prosecutors is also an illegal and corrupt act and can by legally prosecuted by the people in their above rights.

INDICTMENT EXAMPLE
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ACCOUNTABILITY JUDGEMENT INDICTMENT
Due to, but not limited to, the abdication of responsibility of the government of the United States to make Hillary Rodham Clinton, her aids, and family accountable to the rule of law for crimes against the United States thus doing severe damage to that rule of law, the people of the United States as is their right and duty take the following action, to wit:
Whereas the rule of law is paramount to the existence, peace and tranquility of the United States of America and that rule must be applied to all citizens equally.
Whereas, in her official duties with the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton has grossly violated that law and put the United States at peril and danger from within and without by illegally selling access, allowing foreign powers that access to the state department and national secrets, lying under oath , and taking away the right of the American People to the security of her offices.
Whereas the government of the United States has stated same but abdicates it’s responsibility to make her accountable for these subversive and treasonous actions while evidence has been openly presented that this is true, taking away the American People’s right to government accountability to the rule of law.
Whereas the Declaration of Independence legal notice in section one of the United States legal code annotated under organic or permanent law gives the people of the United States the right to alter and/or abolish those in government who violate the people’s rights as a sovereign right to them against government and its individual members and legally unaccountable to government in any way as stated in law and affirmed by the United States Supreme Court.
Therefore, The people of the United States, having in multiple venues, determined the guilt of Hillary Rodham Clinton , her aids, and family in seditious, subversive and Treasonous activity to the United States of America, do hereby find her guilty of the aforesaid and sentence her herewith to receive the penalty customary for those crimes down through history and as has been levied also by the United States, and additionally legally declare them enemies of the Constitution of the United States, punishment to be carried out by any person or people of the United States. In addition reminding those who took an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States of America from all enemies, both foreign and domestic and to obey all lawful orders” that this is such a lawful order under the above jurisdiction and authorize them to act in accordance with it to preserve the rule of law and this United States of America so that a nation of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
FIRST AMENDMENT - REDRESS OF GREVIENCES -
The Right to Petition was central to constitutional law and politics in the early United States. It is the First Amendment’s capstone:
“Congress shall make no law … abridging … the right of the people …
to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The Right to Petition is unknown to most Americans, or if known, considered to be an extension of the first four rights, and not a right that stands on its own. This ignores Chief Justice John Marshall’s declaration:
“[N]o provision of the Constitution was meant to be without effect…” Marbury v. Madison,(1803)
The Petition Clause has its own distinct history and English roots[2] different than other First Amendment provisions. The Right to Petition has been, in many ways, the First Amendment’s poor relation. It may have been an early casualty as power accumulated in Washington.
he Right to Petition the “Government” for Redress of Grievances As Parliamentary supremacy grew in England it both received petitions and responded. The tradition of petitioning the legislature grew in the American colonies. Under the American Constitution, with government functions divided among three co-equal branches of government, legislative supremacy did not exist. Thus, the First Amendment’s Right to Petition the GOVERNMENT for Redress of Grievances grew from the history but was inherently different. The Petition Clause does not say Congress, the President or the Judiciary. The Clause includes all branches.[7] The Constitution’s Article I vests legislative power in Congress; Article II, the “executive Power” in a President; and Article III “the judicial Power” in the judiciary. Article I, Section 8’s final clause[8] describes a “government” of “powers vested” in three separate branches. The Petition Clause use of the term government acknowledges[9] an individual’s right to invoke government’s “powers” by way of a petition for redress of grievances. The clause thus affirms the right to invoke the government’s “judicial Power” by petition for redress. The Petition Clause and Sovereign Immunity With the Petition Clause comes a right to petition the judicial branch for redress of grievances against the government. The Petition Clause created a constitutional right. Since less than 1% of Americans even know the Clause exists, it is not surprising that the right has been ignored by the government and largely trumped by the judicially adopted concept of “sovereign immunity”. The idea of Sovereign Immunity is that a government cannot be sued in its own courts absent its consent. The Petition Clause is at odds with that idea. The Petition Clause gives a citizen a right to sue the government for redress of grievances, but Sovereign Immunity says the government has to consent to such a suit. The idea of such immunity is inconsistent with both a republic and the Constitution itself.[10] The Petition Clause is part of the First Amendment. Sovereign Immunity is found nowhere in the Constitution. The people through The Tenth Amendment[11] reserve all power not delegated to the federal government. There should be no subject matter of a Petition for Redress that is dismissed by a court based upon Sovereign Immunity, nor kept from a decision by a jury.[12]. The Petition Clause Stands on Its Own as a Limit on Government The 800 year history of petitioning for redress found expression in the First Amendment. The Petition Clause acknowledges distinct rights separate and apart from religion, speech, press and assembly. There are no provisions of the Constitution meant to be without effect. The Petition Clause has come to be without effect because Americans have allowed it to happen. Further Reading: The Right to Petition is surely the least known and certainly least understood guarantee of the Bill of Rights. To learn more: How the Judiciary Stole the Right to Petition, John E. Wolfgram Sovereign Immunity and the Right to Petition, James E. Pfander The Vestigial Constitution: The History and Significance of the Right to Petition, Gregory A.

Short Answer- The Redress of Grievance can be specifically directed and a date certain it must be accomplished. ;If ignored or date not met, that person or group of government officials can be adjudicated , tried, convicted, sentenced, and sentence carried out by "THE PEOPLE" WITHOUT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE AND WITH IMMUNITY FROM GOVERNMENT BLOWBACK !!

REDRESS OF GRIEVANCE
CITIZEN RIGHT UNDER THE 1ST AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION

Patrick Henry - “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
John Quincy Adams - “The highest order of the American Revolution was that it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”
"Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people; it is wholly inadequate to the Government of any other"
George Washington - “Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that a national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles.” “Do not let anyone claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics.”
James Madison - (chief architect of the constitution) - “...we have staked the future of all of our political Institutions upon the capacity of all of us to govern ourselves based upon the 10 Commandments of God.”
Charles Finney - (19th century lawyer and evangelist) - If God’s people do not make it into office, God’s Principles do not make it into office.”
Benjamin Franklin - ‘He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of Christianity will change the face of the world...”
John Jay - (first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court) - Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
United States Supreme Court –
(Church of the Holy Trinity vs. the United State - 1892) “Our laws and our Institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teaching of the redeemer of mankind.

FOUNDATIONAL LAW IN UNITED STATES OFAMERICA.
At the foundation of every social order is a concept of law and government. For most of the history of our country this foundation was the Bible — the Word of God — including both the Old and New Testaments. Thus, the American view of law and government is founded on the Biblical view of law and government. This is explicitly made clear in the Declaration of Independence, which makes reference to the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God and The Supreme Judge of the World.
The Declaration, which the U.S. Code calls the “organic law of the United States,” asserts a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence. The Declaration goes on to say that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. AND, to secure these God-given rights, our Founders said that governments are instituted among men. So, our foundational law says clearly — explicitly — that the express purpose of government is to secure — to protect — rights we already have from God. [Interjection – It also gives “the people”: the right to “alter or abolish” when government officials do not do their sworn protective job. That was demonstrated in the Revolution making individuals, personally accountable by “the people” that is the check on corrupt government officials, outside of government control for obvious reasons. Section 1, U S Legal Code Annotated, organic law section.]
It is NOT the role (nor the ability) of government to GIVE people “rights,” but instead, to protect the rights God has already given us as human beings made in His image. We are often told today that America was founded as a secular country, where law and government are, supposedly, neutral and totally man-made. This is false. This is dangerous. This is destructive of liberty, and, as has been demonstrated, this is un-American.
NOTE: The following rules only apply to a republic such as the USA.
For a monarchy such as Great Britain substitute the word "baron" for "people",
and substitute the word "subject" for "citizen".
Also, in the USA, a peer is one of the people (not citizens).
In Great Britain, a peer is one of the nobilities.

Reactivating the Common Law Grand Jury
A Brief Strategy Suggestion
BACKGROUND
When the colonies separated from England, King John retaliated by revoking the charters. Technically, the colonies were without any legal authority to operate. However, civics (the branch of political philosophy concerned with individual rights) was generally taught and known by the people who asserted their rights and maintained order by applying the common law. The people united in the form of common law grand juries and continued the functioning of government.
As the legislatures matured, they slowly increased governmental power while simultaneously reducing personal sovereign power. This was done through a combination of passing pro-government legislation and reducing or eliminating education about civics. Today, two and a quarter century later, hardly anyone even knows the meaning of the word, "civics."
Despite the fact that the state and federal constitutions still acknowledge the common law as the ultimate law system, people everywhere are conditioned to believe that the statutory law and codes are the only source of law. The only remaining common law term generally known among the public is "common law marriage."
The common law grand jury is now dormant only because of the public ignorance of its powers that supersede all other government entities, including the modern statutorily defined grand jury. Awakening the grand jury will not be graciously accepted by the government. A strategy is needed to reintroduce this fundamental protection against tyranny and injustice.
STEP 1 - ESTABLISH LEGITIMACY
The first step is to get public acceptance. Every dictator in history understood the power of the people and cultivated their support either through enticements or threats. Reactivating the grand jury concept will go through four traditional stages: denial, ridicule, violent opposition, then self-evident acceptance.
Theoretically, the grand jury can meet anywhere, anytime. But that is hardly good image. One way to get public acceptance and minimize denial, ridicule, and violent opposition, is to hold the grand jury sessions in the public courthouse. The foreman could apply to a court administrator for use of one of the rooms in the public courthouse. If it is refused, then the court administrator should, under common law procedures, be sued for his dereliction of duty.
The grand jury should follow normal protocol. In other words, if the grand jury begins a process on its own, the resulting accusation is called a presentment. If a prosecutor originates a process, then the jury returns to the prosecutor an indictment (also called a "true bill") on acceptance, or a "no bill" on denial. [Note: be careful with your words. wrong words may result in inaction! If you call the presentment an indictment, the prosecutor may feel no obligation because he did not initiate the process!]
STEP 2 - GAIN PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE
The second step is to start small. The grand jury could take on issues which anyone can easily see should be prosecuted. As public acceptance increases, the grand jury can enlarge its field of inquiry. The grand jury should have a strong public relations program for this step.
STEP 3 - TAKE ON LARGER PROJECTS
The third step is to take on grander objectives. If the first two steps are well executed, then this step will be the easiest. With both legitimacy and acceptance established the grand jury can make itself felt.
See United States v. Williams, 112 S.Ct. 1735, 504 U.S. 36, 118 L.Ed.2d 352 (1992) for a discussion of separation of powers of government and grand jury.
SCHOOL BOARD REDRESS OF GREVIENCE PRESENTED TO COLORADO STATE BOARED OF EDUCATION
(Example to be used for any school board. Just change the pertinent information for your board and lyou)
Your are given 3 minutes. this one may be too llong.
My name is David Cook. I am a parent of long graduated children and present grandchildren in the Colorado public education system. I am also the Colorado Coordinator for the Center for government Accountability where we teach citizens how our Founders made it legal for them to make government accountable personally and corporately as the secondary legal system.
In that vain I am hereby presenting this board with a 1st Amendment Citizens Redress of Grievance presented to the CGA which we are passing along to you. It outlines the illegal and false religion morals and knowledge that this board is allowing to be taught in schools in this State of Colorado.
Section 1 of the U S Legal Code annotated has a section of foundational and unchangeable, unchallengeable law called “Organic Law” . One of the 4 Documents there is the Northwest Ordinance dictating all Territorial and State constitutional operations for Civil and Religious liberty in them. You all took an oath to uphold those provisions.
Article 3 Sentence 1 states “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of instruction shall forever be encouraged.” It is to pass on to each generation of Americans the foundational world view, morals, ethics and values necessary to maintain freedom, liberty, and this Republic.
Thousands of our prominent citizens over the past 245 years and the U S Supreme Court have stated that “Religion , Morality and Knowledge required. It is the Judeo Christian, not the Secular Humanist.
I present this redress to this board which it must act on and inform, require, and police every school board under its jurisdiction, which, up until now, it has failed to do, making its actions illegal if not subversive or treasonous.
Copies will be sent to the State Attorney General, and the press for appropriate action and publication. In the event those parties do not act, a citizens grand jury may be commenced with adjudication, sentencing, and sentencing action per its right in the 5th Amendment and the 5th provision of the Declaration of Independence prime statement of law on the appropriate members of this board and other non complying local boards.
I submit this Redress and also substantiating documentation to this board at this time. You may reach me at the below for any follow up questions.
Thank You

2nd Redress of Grevience presentation.
3 minute presentation of a Redress of Grevience to a school board. You can copy it and change as necessary to make it yours or use as example
My name is David Cook. I am a parent of long graduated children and present grandchildren in the Colorado public education system. I am also the Colorado Coordinator for the Center for government Accountability where we teach citizens how our Foundational legal provisions for them to make government accountable personally and corporately as the secondary legal system of the United States..
In the last few decades the legal world view morals, ethics, and values taught in all schools in this state have been subverted. This subversion has been allowed by this board if not promoted by it from the Judeo-Christian to; the Secular Humanist. This is illegal under Article 3, Sentence 1 of the Northwest Freedom Ordinance which is the blueprint for all State Constitutions of the United States. This board took an oath to that Colorado constitution and thus to that Article.
Therefore I herewith present this board with a First Amendment Redress of Grievance which this board is duty and oath bound to follow and enforce on every schools system it oversees in Colorado.
Copies by law will be sent to the State Attorney General and the press for action and legal notice. If you and they do not act on this law in Section 1 of the U S Legal Code “Organic Law” for maintaining Civil and Religious Freedom in the State as prescribed, then by the Declaration of Independence 5th provision and the 5th Amendment “Grand Jury” provision a citizens common law independent Grand Jury may be formed to adjudicate you all personally and corporately and sentence and enforce sentencing on you as also provided by law without any government legal interference allowed. This is the law. Read it for yourselves.
I here present this Redress with substantiating information to you.
If you have any questions or need the Center to expand on this, We would be happy to do that

REDRESS OF GREVIENCE TO THE COLLRADO STATE SCHOOL BOARD
Whereas: The Freedom (Northwest, 1787) Ordinance is Federally required provisions for Civil and Religious liberty of all States in the United States.
Whereas: All state Constitutions must agree with the provisions of that document by federal law.
Whereas: Article 3, Sentence one is the undeniable law provision for education states: “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of instruction shall forever be encouraged.”
Whereas: From the first settlements on this Continent over 500 years ago, that Religion, morality, and knowledge has been taught.
Whereas: All through the History of the United States, Founders and prominent civic leaders have made it abundantly clear that the “Religion, morality, and Knowledge” requirement is Judeo-Christian and was taught from the Holy Bible for generations.
Whereas: The U S Supreme Court has made reference to that fact as law multiple times (1791, 1854, 1892 see examples provided) with no ambiguity.
Whereas: The Colorado school board has allowed for some decades, the false and disproved Secular Humanist religion and its provisions and supports to be taught illegally in Colorado schools and means of instruction, not challenging illegal court decisions to that effect as it is required by law to do.
Therefore: The Colorado School board corporately, and its members personally have and are operating illegally and have seditiously subverted the education of this state’s children leading to untold destruction and degradation of Civil and Religious freedom and Liberty in this state. And must cease and desist that policy and require all local school boards to do the same, require the removal of all Secular Humanist education and materials from all Colorado schools, refuse to comply with Secular Humanist court edicts, and enforce the aforesaid legal provisions on all school boards and means of instruction within its jurisdiction. The Attorney General of Colorado will police these provisions and the Colorado School board will make these changes known and the law behind them throughout the state to the Citizens of this State. Failure of any State entity to fulfill these provisions of law may result in a Citizens Adjudication and action as provided by law, of this board and its members by Citizens as provided in the Declaration of Independence 5th law provision and the citizens “Grand Jury” provision of the 5th Amendment to the U S Constitution.
Passed on by the Center for Government Accountability by request.
