Federal Jurisdiction District Court de jure Grand Jury on the Republic for Oregon As Convened Under the Authority of God The hierarchy of authority: From the Creator to man; from man to all governments; from governments to all subsidiaries thereof, including corporations and entities receiving consideration from We the People. Preamble The de jure Grand Jury, being one of the oldest, most respected, and most powerful civil institutions on the united states of America, has long been deemed vital as an ultimate and necessary restraint against governmental abuse of the limited powers bequeathed and entrusted to it by We the People. Therefore, the Federal Jurisdiction District Court de jure Grand Jury on the Republic for Oregon (hereinafter, de jure Grand Jury) hereby convenes with solemn recognition for the unalienable rights endowed to us by the Creator as cited in The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united states of America (circa 1776) and protected by, but not limited to, the Constitution for the united States (circa 1787), as amended through December 19, 1860; and The Unanimous Declaration of The Sovereign Rights held by Indigenous Power of the united States of America (circa 2010), in order to restore and re-inhabit the free America and to ensure justice for all people upon the land. The de jure Grand Jury Process The de jure Grand Jury is founded with twenty seven (27) members as an independently operating body, fulfilling the duties for ensuring freedom and justice for "We the People". Each Juror shall affirm, by solemn oath, to accept and support The Unanimous Declaration of The Sovereign Rights held by Indigenous Power of the united States of America (circa 2010), which adopts and upholds, as supreme law of the land, the Constitution for the united States (circa 1787), as amended through December 19, 1860. Furthermore, the de jure Grand Jury shall function lawfully only as a body. No individual Juror shall have any power or authority to invoke or represent the de jure Grand Jury while acting alone, unless with the express written consent thereof. Primary Jury Duties The primary duties of the de jure Grand Jury shall involve, but not be limited to, examination of all aspects of all governments, subsidiaries, entities, or matters thereof, which abide upon, touch upon, are concerned with, or are subject to Federal Jurisdiction on Oregon, extending from the center of the earth, through the land, to the heavens above, including, but not limited to, all waters, navigable waterways, ocean ports, and seaboard.

Furthermore, these primary duties shall include, but not be limited to: Preparing Presentments: The de jure Grand Jury shall independently, or upon evidence provided to it, investigate all manner of crimes or misconduct perpetrated on We the People and make presentments of its findings for indictment to the appropriate authority(s) having jurisdiction over the individual or entity committing the infraction. Issuing and Reviewing Indictments: The de jure Grand Jury shall review indictments to determine if there is probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. At all times, the de jure Grand Jury is to base its investigations and findings on the venerable common law maxim of corpus delicti, if there is no injured party, there is no crime. The de jure Grand Jury shall issue a true bill if it agrees with the indictment, or a no bill if it disagrees with the indictment. Additional Duties In order to determine if the evidence against an accused, once brought before the de jure Grand Jury, is sufficient to proceed with trial, the Jury shall utilize the broad powers at its disposal in pursuit of the truth, seeking counsel and observing precedents from, but not limited to, God s law, natural law, common law, and the time-honored maxims of law. Investigative reports and findings regarding the functions, operations, accounts, records, et cetera, of public officials, employees, officers, departments, et al, as deemed necessary by the de jure Grand Jury, may be delivered to any and all appropriate entity(s) having authority to address accountability issues that may be discovered and to enforce punitive actions that may be required. Should the appropriate entity(s) having authority fail to prosecute the infraction, the de jure Grand Jury shall issue a presentment to the appropriate authority(s) to issue an indictment. Order and Continuity of the de Jure Grand Jury Order Order, being necessary to the efficient and productive fulfillment of Jury functions and duties, shall at all times be maintained in accordance with Robert s Rules of Orders under the purview and at the discretion of the de jure Grand Jury Foreman. Furthermore, while healthy debate, differences of opinion, and all sides of any given issue are necessarily encouraged in the furtherance of justice and perspicacity, in the interests of maintaining order, the Foreman may temporarily remove, place on inactive status, or permanently disqualify any repeatedly disruptive Juror acting contrary to the designs and duties of effective Jury functioning. This authority, so as not to thwart representation by the Jury body at large, shall be subject to a Two-Thirds veto vote of all assembled Jurors in opposition to any such action, in which case the Foreman shall be overruled.

Additionally, any Juror being absent without notification for three de Jure Grand Jury meetings or mandatory functions shall automatically disqualify themselves from the Jury, subject to extenuating circumstances as deemed excusable and affirmed by a Two-Thirds vote of all assembled Jurors, in which case the absent Juror will be allowed to remain. Continuity Despite its best efforts, it is recognized that the founding de jure Grand Jury, being comprised of twenty seven (27) members, cannot possibly investigate every miscarriage of justice and/or oversee all entity(s) at every level. Therefore, as the need arises, subsequent and/or additional de jure Grand Juries may be formed to assist with serving We the People in the interests of freedom and justice.
