>PAYSON, ARIZONA.   A  state Citizen  will be denied the chance to
>vote on  Tuesday, if  the State  of Arizona  has its  way.   Paul
>Andrew Mitchell,  Counselor at  Law and federal witness, has been
>using every  administrative means  available  to  register  as  a
>"Qualified Elector"  for next  Tuesday's general election.  There
>is only  one problem:  he is not a federal citizen, and the voter
>registration form  requires that  he certify,  under  penalty  of
>perjury, that  he is a federal citizen. Moreover, the penalty for
>falsifying information on an Arizona voter registration affidavit
>is a class 6 felony conviction.
>
>     Mitchell has  been researching  the federal constitution and
>statute laws  full-time for 7 years now.  Among his findings is a
>discovery of several court cases which held that Americans can be
>state  Citizens  without  also  being  "citizens  of  the  United
>States," or  "federal   citizens," as they are also called in the
>legal   dictionaries.   Mitchell has  come to  believe  that  the
>federal government  has lately  become a  criminal    enterprise,
>relying upon  blatant  extortion  to  collect  money  and  coerce
>cooperation from  the American  People. He  wants no  part of the
>federal government,  until and  unless its  agents start  obeying
>American Laws  never   repealed.   Mitchell is  also  working  to
>restore  integrity to the American court system.
>
>     As Counselor at Law in a federal case in which a grand  jury
>had subpoened  the books  and records  of an  Arizona pure trust,
>Mitchell's research  led him to find further flaws in the federal
>Jury Selection  and Service Act, the law which Congress passed to
>select and  convene federal  grand and  trial  juries.    In  one
>section of  this law, Congress makes it a federal policy that all
>citizens shall  have the  opportunity to  serve on  federal grand
>juries and  federal  trial  juries.    Then,  4  sections  later,
>Congress   makes it a requirement that jury candidates be federal
>citizens before they are qualified to serve.  There is no mention
>of state  Citizens anywhere  in this Act, and no regulations have
>been promulgated for it either.
>
>     The U.S.  Supreme Court  has already  ruled, more than once,
>that class  discrimination in  the selection of juries is grounds
>for disqualifying  the entire jury, even if the individual jurors
>are otherwise qualified.  Imagine if the law said that only women
>could serve  on federal  juries; this  would be  a clear  case of
>class  discrimination,   because  men   would  be  systematically
>excluded  as   a  class.    Because  there  are  two  classes  of
>citizenship in  America, not  one, the Jury Selection and Service
>

>Act is  unconstitutional   for limiting  jury service  to one and
>only one  of those  two classes  of citizens.   So,  if you are a
>state Citizen  who is not also a federal citizen, you can't vote,
>you can't  serve on  a grand jury, and you can't serve on a trial
>jury either.
>
>     Paul Mitchell is now faced with some very difficult choices.
>As a  political activist,  with degrees  in Political Science and
>Public Administration, and seven years of constitutional research
>under his  belt, and with proof of his birth to  American parents
>within one  of the  several Union  States,   he is now denied any
>voice in the management of his state and federal governments.  He
>cannot vote, he cannot serve on a grand jury, and he cannot serve
>on a trial jury.  And, of course, the government contends that it
>can continue to tax such a man, without representation within the
>Congress.  "No  taxation  without  representation"  was  a  proud
>rallying cry  for many  Americans  who  eventually  defeated  the
>British in the Revolutionary War, despite enormous odds.
>
>     Mitchell recently  escalated the  matter by  filing a formal
>written Notice  and Demand  with Arizona Governor Fife Symington,
>to order  that state's Attorney General to register Mitchell as a
>qualified elector.   Rumor  has it  that the  AG is  refusing  to
>disclose the  registry of  state Citizens  who  now  inhabit  the
>Arizona Republic.   Mitchell  tried  to  confirm  this  rumor  by
>demanding that  he be  added to the registry, so that he may have
>an   opportunity to  choose his  representative in  the House  of
>Representatives in  Washington, D.C.   Courts have ruled that the
>Right to  choose our  representatives is a fundamental Right, and
>Congress has made it a felony to deprive Citizens of any of their
>fundamental Rights, in the federal criminal code (18 U.S.C. 242).
>After receiving  Mitchell's Notice  and Demand,  someone  in  the
>Governor's  office   sent  Mitchell  another  voter  registration
>affidavit:   FOR U.S.  CITIZENS ONLY -- IT IS A CLASS 6 FELONY TO
>FALSIFY THIS  FORM! There  was no  return address on the envelope
>which bore  the form,  through U.S.  Mail.  It is also a crime to
>put fraudulent material into the U.S. Mail.
>
>     Mitchell is  preparing to  sue the State of Arizona, and all
>government employees who have chosen to ignore this problem, soon
>after Tuesday's election, if Arizona cannot come up with a way to
>get Mitchell  to the  polls by  the time  they close  on Tuesday.
>Paul Andrew  Mitchell may soon become the Susan B. Anthony of the
>Twentieth Century.
