The purpose of this petition is in support of Governor Gary Herbert, the Utah House of Representatives
and the Utah State Senate in your recent actions to reestablish Utah State sovereignty by appealing
repealing the 17th Amendment and returning the balance of power to the States; and, moving forward
with unprecedented plans to seize the 31.2 million acres of Utah land that was stolen by the federal
government and restore control of the lands back to the good people of Utah State. We would like to
point out another serious deficiency also suffered by all fifty (50) States that needs addressing; that
being the unalienable right of the People to secure our free and sovereign State protected by
Amendment II: A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of
the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed; of which presently We the People suffer an
infringement of security.

Utah State Constitution Article XV Section 2: The legislation shall provide by law for
the organization, equipment and discipline of the Militia which shall conform as nearly
practicable to the regulations for the government of the armies of the United States.
Preamble of the Utah State Constitution: Grateful to Almighty God for Life and
Liberty, We the People of Utah, in order to secure and perpetuate the principles of free
government, do ordain and establish this Constitution.
In response to a clear and present danger, We the People of Utah State formed a more perfect and
secured Union of Counties of sovereign People; each endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable
Rights; whereas our free, independent and sovereign Utah State, one of fifty (50) forming a more
perfect Union of fifty (50) free, independent and sovereign States, entered the union under the Equal
Footing Doctrine forming a central Government called the United States of America with only eighteen
(18) delegated Powers and Spending privileges as itemized under Article I Section 8 of The
Constitution.

We recognize your recent righteous action to take back control of Utah State lands from the Federal

Utah Constitution Article XX Section 1: All lands of the State that have been, or may
hereafter be granted to the State by Congress ... are declared to be the public lands of
the State; and, shall be held in trust for the people, to be disposed of as may be provided
by law, ...
We the People of the Utah State are deeply troubled and extremely concerned subsequent to a myriad
of recent and not immediately recent flagrant violations of U.S. Constitutional laws by the three (3)
branches of the U.S. Government, pursuant to Amendments IX and X, the supreme laws of the land.
These flagrant violations of the supreme law of the land, having directly violated with extreme
prejudice against Utah State and the supreme laws of the land, have and are committing unmitigated
Capital Felony TREASON under Title 18 USC 2381 in violation of Amendments IX and X and the
Constitution for Utah State, and direct and sometimes violent attacks against the People of Utah,
perpetrated by the BLM and other U.S. Government agencies operating without constitutional
authority.
It should be specifically noted that both Constitutions guarantee LIFE, LIBERTY and PROPERTY in
pursuit of happiness; and, the same being under clear and present danger to We the People of Utah
and to the rule and protections of our State and Federal laws, do hereby present this Petition for the

Redress of Grievances as our direct unalienable right pursuant to the last ten (10) words in
Amendment I, to and in support of the honorable and noble Governor Gary Herbert as well as to the
members of the State Assembly House and the State Senate.
We the People from whence All Power and Spending privileges derive, pursuant to the rule of law and
the Declaration of Independence, most fervently submit and testify to Treason being committed against
We the People of Utah and directly against and repugnant to our State and U.S. Government
Constitutions, specifically Amendments IX and X, perpetrated by U.S. Agents who are operating under
color of law in contempt of the rule of law that we ordained and established to secure the Blessings
of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity; and, therefore, seek justice against these heinous, treasonous,
mass violations of our lives, liberty and property, subsequent to the supreme laws of the land.
We submit that all Spending and usurpation by Acts repugnant to our Constitutions by the federal
government are under Color of Law.

Shepards Citations: A group of reporters that go through and keep track of all court cases that have
come before the courts, especially the Supreme Court and they clarify, before the court, all the cases.
All cases which have cited Marbury v. Madison to the Supreme Court have never been overturned. See
Shepards Citation of Marbury v. Madison.
We submit that these Constitutionally contemptuous U.S. Government agencies operating both overtly
and covertly are using deception, fraud and coercion, all contributing to a chilling effect upon the
People of Utah for the express purpose of preventing the free expression and exercise of our
unalienable rights and State sovereignty. These criminal means and treachery include bribery,
intimidation and coercion at all levels of social and civil society. By these means, these criminals acting
under color of government seek to blind and eviscerate the true limited functions of the subservient
U.S. Government which was ordained and established to perform limited functions.
The end result of this nefarious conspiracy is calculated to deprive the People of life, liberty, property;
and thus, the pursuit of happiness.
WHEREAS: Utah Constitution Article XII Section 16 states:

It is our firm belief and conviction that Article XII Section 16, quoted above, is the very definition of
the criminal works of the U.S. Government agencies within our State, now attacking the People and
Constitution of Utah. Furthermore, we find that these several U.S. Government agencies and agents are
working in concert; and, conspiring for a common goal.
We find that the Utah Constitution is a reasonable facsimile of the Constitution for the United States
of America, which is now under full attack by said conspiracy against the supreme law of the land. We
the People do not seek personal enrichment or advantage over fellow Americans or any ethnicity, color
or creed as we specifically hold these truths to be self-evident:

Understanding that Ranchers and Miners enjoy preemptive Rights, to the benefit of all People, to

sources, it behooves us as the People, by duty all Americans between the ages of 17 and 45 pursuant
to 10 USC 311 unorganized Militia, to protect our Ranchers and Miners, as well as all the People
of Utah, from unlawful Acts by all enemies, elected and non-elected, and their hired Constitutionally
contemptuous henchmen and agent enemies of our supreme laws of the land. Where, we ask, are the
BLM listed under the eighteen (18) limited congressional powers?
The intentional destruction of life, liberty and property by numerous nefarious U.S. agencies operating
under color of law is unacceptable; and, will no longer be tolerated by We the People of Utah State.

IN CONCLUSION: We the People in support of the honorable Governor Gary Herbert and our
Federal and State Constitutions, especially, but not limited to, our Amendments IX and X, the supreme
laws of the land, seek State recognition as Constitutional unorganized Militia pursuant to the rule of
the Constitutional laws which we ordained and established as necessary to the free, independent and
sovereign Utah State, only subject and limited to the very few and agreed upon limits specifically
enumerated and properly ratified under Article I Section 10 of The Constitution for the United States of
America. As a recognized unorganized Constitutional Militia, we seek the funding required by both
Constitutions; first and foremost, from Utah State; and, secondly the U.S. Constitution, respectively.
We make special note that the unorganized Militia is not subject to act upon, nor can be compelled to
do anything, that is repugnant to our State or Federal Constitutions, most specially to be noted anything
that enforces any U.S. Congressional or Presidential Act or Color of Law that is repugnant to our
Supreme Law of the Land.
Indeed, it is our duty to enforce the rule of law and protect our Constitutions, our individual rights, our
states rights, our local hometown economies, our local hometown small businesses, our jobs, wages
and salaries, our individual American middle class wealth and power and our freedom from all enemies
both foreign and domestic. For it is written law that all other powers (meaning, according to the
Founding Fathers, all other Spending) is reserved to the States respectively, or the People.
THEREFORE: We respectfully petition Governor Gary Herbert to order the Legislators of Utah to
obey the law and provide for the organization, equipment and discipline of the unorganized Militia
which shall conform as nearly practicable to the regulations for the government of the armies of the
United States forthwith.
