CONTACT, Inc. News

Dear Rick and Readers,

First: We want to thank all of you for your letters contain­ing: (a) your concerns,
(b) your desperate problems of losing your homes and farms, (c) the losses of your businesses, (d) your being incarcerated over some silly thing or the other, for which the Law did exceed its vested powers by their own Oaths of Office, whereas and whereby they did take those Oaths to uphold, defend and faithfully execute the Laws of the Constitu­tion of the United States of America. And so many, many, many more letters of desperate plights and desperate pleas of persons, families, men and women and some children, who have become destitute of HOPE.

Second: We have read each and every single letter, and we do apologize for taking so long to respond. It is impossible to respond to all of you, therefore we take this opportunity to re­spond (as you know Russell Herman has been desperately fighting for his life) to all of you, in the CONTACT News. While watching Russ fight for his life, and each breath, minute to minute and hour after hour, day in and day out, all night long for over ONE YEAR now, "I" read each letter, and some I read over and over again. I could not believe my eyes at the things which were and are occurring all over this nation, which creates a CONSTITUTIONAL DISABILITY on every man, woman and child in this nation. Moreover, it is and has been difficult to believe that our DULY ELECTED have sat there, doing nothing and encouraging these acts. The reason I said ENCOURAGED is: Had these duly elected familiarized themselves with the ACT to ENFORCE THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT of April 20th. 1871. U.S. Statutes at Large. Vol XVII, p. 13ff and adhered to its provisions, none of this would have happened in AMERICA, and to THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Organized Criminal Activities would not have prevailed in our Courts, and in our Legislatures, in our Congress, in our Senate, in our State and Local Governments as it has evidenced itself to exist in your thousands of letters.


Thirdly: A copy of that Act to Enforce the Fourteenth Amendment is hereto affixed, and it is requested that it be printed with this letter [p. 31] . And when each of you read this ACT TO ENFORCE THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT, hopefully, you will think about each Senator, Congressman, Legislator, Attorney, Judge, President, Vice President and even the local Dog Catcher, who have attempted and succeeded in the "putting down" of this nation. By allowing Organized Criminals and their Organized Crime to prevail in our Courts, the House, the Senate and permeate our every-day lives with such a stench as is only left in the fields of death, left from the ROT and CORRUPTION causing the ROTS.

And when you read this Act to Enforce the Fourteenth Amendment, hopefully you will think on the FEDERAL RE­SERVE ACT, and the parties who, with malicious intent to de­stroy this nation, as they raise the interest rates, while you can barely buy a loaf of bread.

And, hopefully, the Congress and Senate in their HEAR­INGS can finally determine (a) what they can legally do, and (b) what they cannot do. TO OBSTRUCT ANY JUSTICE ON ANY LEVEL is against the Act to Enforce the Fourteenth Amendment, causing the ROT to further encroach across this nation by exemplified FAVORITE LOBBYIST GROUPS; In­surance Companies who have no intent to comply with the Con­tract (the reason for Executive Order 12919). Shame upon shame. NOW as of today, July 29, 1994, "IF" you can still af­ford your PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS--" a Premium is going to be put on the Premium, like the tax hike on Cigarettes".

Fourthly: After begging the President, Bentsen and the rest of that bunch in Washington to allow us to assist the people, af­ter being "sluffed off" and "ignored"
(in the Politically Correct Fashion), we have decided to GO FORTH ON THE BONUS 3392 N-181. The lein is in place, it has been in public print and now is the time to proceed.

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU who have written and let us know your inner-most thoughts, trials, tribulations, losses, hopes, desires, and even your prayers. We do thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

273. ACT_TO ENFORCE THE FOURTEENTH
AMENDMENT
April 20, 1871
(U.S. Statutes at Large, Vol. XVII, p. 13ff.)
This so-called. Ku Klux Act was the most im­portant of several Civil Rights Acts designed to insure for the negro the full benefits of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Similar acts had been passed May 31, 1870 and February 28, 1871. An act designed to secure social equality for the negro was passed March 1, 1875 (see Doc. No. 291). In 1876 the Supreme Court, in U. S. v. Reese, 92 U. S. 214 and U. S. v. Cruikshonk, 92 U. S. 542, declared certain sections of the Civil Rights Act of May 31, 1870 unconstitutional, and thus anticipated its attitude toward the Ku Klux and Civil Rights Acts. In 1883, in U. S. v. Harris, 106 U. S. 629, the Court held parts of the Act of April 20, 1871 uncon­stitutional; in The Civil Rights Cases, 109 U. S. 3, it held the Civil Rights Act unconstitutional. Efforts to repeal these force acts were not successful until the second Cleveland administra­tion. See, W. W. Davis, "The Federal Enforcement Acts", in Studies in Southern History and Politics; W. A. Dunning, Essays on the Civil War and Reconstruction, p. 353 ff.; C. Warren, The Supreme Court (1928 ed.), Vol. II, ch. xxxiv,

Sec. 4. That whenever in any State or part of a State the unlawful combinations named in the preceding section of this act shall be organized and armed, and so numerous and powerful as to be able, by violence, to either overthrow or set at defiance the constituted authorities of such State, and of the United States within such State, or when the con­stituted authorities are in complicity with, or shall connive at the unlawful purposes of such powerful and armed combinations; and whenever, by reason of either or all of the causes aforesaid, the conviction of such offenders and the preservation of the public safety shall become in such district imprac­ticable, in every such case such combinations shall be deemed a rebellion against the gov­ernment of the United States, and during the continuance of such rebellion, and within the limits of the district which shall be so under the sway thereof, such limits to be prescribed by proclamation, it shall be law­ful for the President of the United States, when in his judgment the public safety shall require it, to suspend the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus, to the end that such rebellion may be overthrown: Provided, That all the provisions of the second section of [the Habeas Corpus Act of March 3, 1863], which relate to the discharge of prisoners other than prisoners of war, and to the penalty for refusing to obey the order of the court, shall be in full force so far as the same are applicable to the provisions of this sec­tion: Provided further, That the President shall first have made proclamation, as now provided by law, commanding such insurgents to disperse: And provided also, That the pro­visions of this section shall not be in force after the end of the next regular session of Congress.

MORE SUCCESS WITH PEN
& PAPER POWER
Editor's note: The following great success letter was recently received at the CONTACT office. The 5/17/94 CONTACT ar­ticle called "Hawaii's Sovereignty Stand", referred to in this letter, has caused the lighting of many a fire across this country in State Legislative offices. We would also call your attention to the "10th Amendment Constitutional Revolt" writings in last week's issue (7/26/94) for more "ammunition" for the cause!

Dear Rick:

Re: The PHOENIX PROJECT/COMMITTEE OF 50 STATES

After seeing the "Hawaii's Sovereignty Stand" in the May 17 issue of CONTACT
I wrote to my Illinois State Representative as well as for other State Representatives from my area. I also sent each of them photo copies of Hawaii's 10th Amendment Resolution and asked what they are doing to protect the State of Illinois' sovereignty.

I am pleased to announce that on June 30, 1994 Illinois HAS passed House Resolution 2540, giving notice to The Federal Government that their mandates to
the State of Illinois is in violation of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States.

As frustrated as I feel at times, it is inspiring when something like this happens.
It shows that we are not alone in our effort and thinking in wanting to preserve our Constitutional Rights.

I'm a news addict but I saw nothing about this reported in the papers or on TV. It proves that grass root movements against the POWER of "New World Order" Federal Government's mandates that usurp state and individual rights ARE being heard in spite of controlled mainstream media bias.

I am enclosing copies of Illinois House Resolution 2540 for your file and for possible publication or distribution.

Sincerely, /s/ John & Jean

Schaumburg, IL

PS: I sent copies of the resolution to the AMERICAN PATRIOT NETWORK. Also, I've enclosed some articles from the Chicago Sun Times you might find interesting if you haven't seen them yet from other sources.
