    Facts. Tough to argue with truth.

    My action. What I am doing about it.

Sheriff Mattis' Policy, Federal Law Enforcement Personnel. Here's the
original from the Sheriff. He did the right thing.

What a sheriff did about it. Sheriff Mattis in Big Horn County,
Wyoming, set national precedent.



Action Goal: Force Sheriffs to stop Federal Agents at the County
Border.

1. The 9th and 10th Amendments to our Constitution

a) Re-enforce the limited rights and powers to the Federal and State
Governments.

b) Any other powers are left for the states (if not limited) and us
people.

2. This says

a) The State Police (if more than traffic control) and County Sheriffs
hold jurisdiction over Federal Agents.

b) The Sheriff can force all Federal Agents to get his permission
before contacting anyone in his county.



Think about it. If we stop all federal agents (including IRS agents)
at our county borders, they will have no place to go. That will really
force Clinton's hand. That will really put a crimp in Clinton's
dictatorial antics, forcing him out in the open for everyone to see.
Then, just maybe then, people will wake up to what is really happening
behind the Clinton fornagate. It is serious, folks. If only I could
impress upon you the critical seriousness of the nation's problems.
Stopping the feds at our county borders is a good move to force the
hidden agenda out in the open for all to see.

Here is a sample letter, a copy of the one I sent to my sheriff. Use
your own name and send it to your sheriff. Alert him to this web page.
Maybe he will wake to the cause.

Sheriff Pete S. Tough County Street Old Town, CA 95110-1721 Dear
Sheriff Tough:

Our Constitution says, in essence:


* Only Congress can create federal laws, and powers not granted to the
federal government are prohibited from it. * Therefore: No president
can make laws or EOs, etc., that have the force and effect of laws. *
All existing EOs, PDDs, NSDs and all such items, other than routine
operation of government, that became law are unconstitutional, null,
void and unenforceable. * Further: Enforcement of those
unconstitutional EOs, PDDs, NSDs and all such items is a brazen
violation of the Constitution.


Agencies are certainly forbidden from passing laws. Therefore: Agency
created rules and regulations that have the force and effect of law
are unconstitutional, null, void and unenforceable.

* Federal agents breaking, entering, seizing, terrifying and jailing
with neither warrant nor notice is a flagrant violation of our
Constitution and its inherent Bill of Rights. * And: The
unconstitutional enforcement of unconstitutional laws constitutes a
most illegal avoidance of our Constitution and its inherent Bill of
Rights. * When such laws attempt to negate the Constitution, they are
even more unconstitutional.


Please be advised that Judges and Congress Persons are derelict in
their duty to uphold the Constitution of the United States as they
swore to do in their oath of office because: 1. They allow
unconstitutional EOs, PDDs, NSDs and all such items to become law. 2.
They allow the Executive Branch to unconstitutionally enforce
unconstitutional laws. 3. They do not inform the people of the truth
with an honest viewpoint. The mainstream media will not be accepted as
an excuse for their not honestly informing their electorate.

Judges and Congress Persons dereliction of duty is construed as
treason: 1. They are allowing the Constitution and its inherent Bill
of Rights to be destroyed. 2. This action appears to be aiding and
abetting an enemy that is attempting to seize control of the United
States by systematically dismantling the United States Constitution
and its inherent Bill of Rights. The billionaire banklords are highly
suspect. 3. Such dereliction is treason as defined in our
Constitution. 4. Their dereliction demands their removal from office
plus trial for treason.

Until errant Judges and Congress Persons are removed from office, they
must be forced to legislate for the good of their electorate. This
will necessitate their dismantling the thousands of EOs, PDDs, NSDs
and all such items currently registered as laws.

Please be advised: Forest Glen Durland knows how to finance the
federal government without income tax.



Yours truly,


John Q. Citizen

Absorb these facts. Like a vivid TV the facts of real life will grab
you. This stuff is documented. It is really happening - right now!!

Read the timeline to see what is happening to us. It is now complex
and terrifying.

Now study the graph our of history to see where you are in the
happenings picture. You will probably find you and your family at the
bottom of the lower compound, exponential curves pictured. When an
exponential curve is going nearly straight up (or straight down) , it
is nearly over. You must come crashing back the the start. Enjoy. 8<)

"Could Have Known and Should Have Known" is an old and established
precedent that says politicians have no excuses. It dates all the way
back to President Lincoln.

Prologue explains the problems and the only solutions.



Read what I am doing about it. At this link, scroll down to Sheriff
and click. I keep a log there. Sit on it and think a while.

Remember that Sheriffs are politicians, usually.



Following is what a wise and bold sheriff in Wyoming is doing about
it.

Sheriff boots Feds from his county

By Phil Hamby

[See note below.]

Sheriff Dave Mattis of Big Horn County, Wyoming said this week that as
a result of Case # 96-CV099-J, U.S. District Court, District of
Wyoming, he now has a written policy that forbids federal officials
from entering his county and exercising authority over county
residents unless he is notified first of their intentions.

After explaining their mission, Mattis said he grants them permission
to proceed if he is convinced they are operating within the legal
parameters and authority limitations set forth in the U.S.
Constitution.

The sheriff grants permission on a case-by-case basis only. When asked
what, if any, repercussions he had gotten from the Feds, he quickly
and confidently replied, "None whatsoever."

He explained by saying, "They know they do not have jurisdiction in my
county unless I grant it to them."

Mattis clarified his position by saying the federal court had ruled
the state of Wyoming is a sovereign state and the state constitution
plainly states that a county sheriff is the top law enforcement
official in the county.

Additionally, Sheriff Mattis contends that the U.S. Constitution,
Article 1, Section 8, clearly defines the geographic territories where
the federal government has jurisdiction. Amendment X, he said, states
that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people."

Therefore, Mattis thoroughly believes the Feds have very limited
powers in any state unless the local high-sheriff allows them to
exercise power beyond that which the Constitution provides. "Put
another way," Mattis said, "if the sheriff doesn't want the Feds in
his county, he has the constitutional power and right to keep them out
or ask them to leave." Accompanied with other legal interpretations
Mattis stands on the definition of the word "sovereign," which is
defined by Webster's as "paramount, supreme. Having supreme rank or
power. Independent: a sovereign State."

Mattis said he grew weary of the Feds coming into his county and
running rough-shod over county residents: i.e., illegally searching,
seizing property, confiscating bank accounts, restricting the free use
of private lands and other abuses, without a valid warrant and without
first following due process of law as guaranteed by the Constitution
to every citizen.

As long as Mattis remains sheriff he says he will continue to see to
it that the citizens of his county get their day in court.

Mattis went on to say that, to his knowledge, even the IRS has not
attempted to seize any citizen's real property, bank account or any
other private-owned possessions since he ran the Feds out of his
county.

Sheriff Mattis emphasized that he is not a radical man. He said he is
only dedicated to protecting the constitutional rights of the citizens
of his county. He added that ordinary citizens are not the only ones
bound by and expected to obey laws. Elected officials and government
employees at all levels of government are also bound by and should be
expected to obey certain laws.

As long as Sheriff Mattis is the high-sheriff of Big Horn County, he
seems determined to make sure private citizens and government
officials alike act within the law and their designated powers.

Sheriff Mattis came across as a soft-spoken, polite man whose only
interest is protecting the citizens he was elected to serve. That
being the case, he might be the sheriff for as long as he wants to be.

Sheriff Mattis is hopeful that other sheriffs will assume the same
stance.
