Redress of grievances against government agencies and public officials has been negated by the courts through monopolistic economic costs and the imposition of convoluted civil procedures. JAIL for Judges attempted government financed grand juries in California and South Dakota. The opposition of the legal community and complexity of the initiative resulted in defeat of the ballot issue. <br /> The servants have become the masters and no longer represent the people of this country. Every effort to communicate with them has been totally ineffective. Courts have diminished the concept of grand juries to a charade. I agree with the concept of grand juries being called by a group of individual citizens. Anticipating government cooperation and financing is a diversion of time and energy to satisfy their detailed demands. Independent groups (civil grand juries) should be formed to hear the public's complaints. Publicize the findings, recommend a public response and submit the findings to the county attorney for prosecution. The county attorney will no doubt reject the prosecution request, (present practice for civil complaints), but it puts the government and courts on notice that the people object to the government practice at issue. Public disclosure, civil disobedience, noncompliance, boycotting and any other creative practice should be added to the list of recommended responses. <br /> The country is rapidly being transformed into a fascist country and headed towards government tyranny. Government will not voluntarily relinquish power, we cannot succeed by playing with their rules and we must be proactive in restoring our rights and liberties. <br /> Thank you for raising the question of grand juries. Hopefully, the American spirit can be rekindled and we can return to a Constitutional Republic.<br /><br />Dick Motta<br />dickm@blackfoot.netDickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613874804933829975noreply@blogger.com
