WND: Citizens in 20 More States to Form Common Law Grand Juries

By Phil

WorldNetDaily is reporting the following:

The [Georgia common law grand jury]  indictment delivered to state and federal prosecutors [03/30/09]  is one of the developments in the dispute over Obama’s eligibility to be president under the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that presidents be “natural born” citizens. …

Georgia resident Carl Swensson, whose work is detailed on his Rise up for America website, told WND he got tired of the issues over Obama’s eligibility, as well as his performance in office.

“I took it upon myself to find as many patriots as I could across the state, for the purpose of seating 25 for a grand jury,” he said.

Over the weekend the jurors took sworn testimony from several sources, including Taitz, and then generated an indictment that later was forwarded to the U.S. attorney, the state attorney general and others in law enforcement across the state.

Swensson cites on his website as authority for the grand jury the Magna Carta, the bill of rights that formed the foundation of British common law on which U.S. law is based.

He said the members were chosen, sworn in and observed all of the rules of procedure. Swensson declined to elaborate on the specific allegations about Obama, telling WND that remains confidential at this point because of the possibility of a prosecution.

However, the website explanation of the procedure includes some intimidating language.

“If the government does not amend the error within 40 days after being shown the error, then the four members shall refer the matter to the remainder of the grand jury,” it says. “The grand jury may distrain and oppress the government in every way in their power, namely, by taking the homes, lands, possessions, and any way else they can until amends shall have been made according to the sole judgment of the grand jury.”

Swensson said the indictments were delivered to the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, state officials and leaders of the Georgia Senate and House.

He told WND that since the action in Georgia, he’s been contacted by groups in at least 20 other states who want to pursue a similar action.

For those of you who are sympathic to the cause of constitutionalism (and no, common law grand juries aren’t unconstitutional), realize that our friends who oppose such actions as the above do have good intentions with their sometimes biting comments. Remember that it’s better to bless them than to curse them.

Nobody knows one way or the other whether all of these groups will have their presentments officially recognized by the Judiciary. The point, instead, is to pursue every action available within our means to hold the government accountable for wrongs that we believe are an injustice.

Just like the upcoming tea parties, these, too, are groups of people that in and of themselves won’t completely resolve the issues of government unaccountability. However, continually pushing forward and never ever giving up until the goal of constitutional government is achieved is the only way to get to the end.
