Leroy Crenshaw and Thomas Read are preparing to travel to Washington, DC to present important issues to the Joint Committees on the Judiciary. They are prepared to set forth well documented detail of such magnitude that one must question whether or not the "Great Experiment" may be failing. We know it has failed in the cases we bring forward for discussion. Following is an excerpt of the document which was sent to the appropriate offices in Washington. These men ask for your prayer and support by calling your Representatives and Senators. Ask them to support these men as they present their plan to alter the increasingly oppressive treatment of American citizens. The date of the proposed meeting is: 8-6 and 8-7-1996 so act NOW! ===================== At 10:14 PM 7/21/96 -0700, Leroy Crenshaw wrote: I am going to give it one more try at saving this once Great Nation, and I am asking everyone to call your Senators and Congressman (Congresswoman), ask them to give Tom Read and Leroy Crenshaw the support that they need in setting up their meeting with the House Committee on the Judiciary and Senate Committee on the Judiciary. We have four grievances we feel are the cause of all of the problems in this Country. _______________________________________________________________________ 1. We seek an affirmative means by which to challenge any federal authority. 2. We seek an affirmative means of protecting our substantive rights (those rights historically falling under state law, such as Life, Liberty, and property). 3. We seek an affirmative means of challenging the moral turpitude of any federal officer against whom our grievances may contain allegations of willful misconduct in violation of our Constitution and laws made in pursuance thereof. 4. We seek an affirmative means of repair to our persons and our property for all manners of damages we may have incurred. We wish to meet with competent aides of members of the House Committee on the Judiciary, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, and aides from other congressional offices who are concerned (either way) over the issues we raise. Our further objective is to return home with a commitment to immediately accomplish that which the Constitution has always protected to us, and, if need be in the short run, to do so within the framework of the language of the Constitution itself where no Act of Congress is sufficient to provide remedy. Concurrently we are contacting other Members of Congress, in order to solicit their guidance as to our organization and manner of presentation, and generally to assist us to competently represent our grievances to you. Your reply to our request for such a meeting in a most timely period would be most helpful, and greatly appreciated. Our authority for speaking on behalf of our national society is grounded upon the following principles: 1) The common law principle that he who serves in allegiance to the Sovereign is entitled to its protection; 2) The Sovereign of the United States of America is its people, from whom all just power is granted to the national government, and exclusively for whom this power is to be exercised by the officers and agents of the national government; 3) The Sovereign has communicated its intended mission to the three branches of the national government exclusively through the language of our Constitution, as amended, and no duty therein imposed may be otherwise avoided, nor therein prohibited may be otherwise committed, by the officers and agents of the national government worthy of their office. Notwithstanding the above, we complain that officers of the United States at the highest levels, their subordinates, and their agents, have routinely committed acts in violation of the duty imposed upon them by society, through its Constitution. The particular acts of which we are aggrieved consist of unwarranted incursions by the national government into the realm of private rights, in conspicuous disregard of the requisites of due process of law. The subject is the affirmative protection of substantive rights, under existing substantive law (laws of the States). The federal issues involve a continuing federal nullification of private rights for specious reasons, even unprosecuted criminal acts committed by federal actors. The specific areas of concern are 1) bankruptcy administration; 2) federal tax law administration; 3) search and seizure laws and law enforcement; 4) political use of law enforcement tools for untoward purposed; and, 5) federal cover-up at the highest levels of criminal conduct perpetrated by federal actors against innocent American citizens. Whether or not citizens are allowed to work with their federal government in order to secure to themselves the protections that they are guaranteed under the Constitution and its laws, is the question to be resolved. We shall bring evidence obtained from public hearings conducted largely through the House and Senate Committees on the Judiciary, and their sub-committees, that strongly suggest that the Congress in both its houses is aware of the nature and degree of the problems of which we speak. We shall also bring evidence that the Legislative, the Executive, and the Judiciary, have each sacrificed their fundamental purpose as declared under our Constitution for the expediency of "collegiality'', or other non-constitutional reasons.
