Subject: SLS: Freeing the Legal System: Action for October (fwd)

"Pro Se" means "For It" in Latin.
"Se" is a neuter Latin pronoun
which refers to artificial entities
and/or municipal franchises, like
federal citizenship.  See the
pleadings now loaded in the Grand Jury
case, particularly the OPPOSITION
TO the MOTION TO STRIKE written and
filed by me in my capacity as Vice 
President for Legal Affairs of the 
trust.
