We must join forces and confront the peril we face from
our Government.
I sounded the alarm bell in the below citizens’ petition
that is also posted on the National Black Republican Association blog and
that of Dr. Rich Swier about how an untenable precedent has
been set for the Government to use its full power to subjugate us.
The essence of the petition is as follows:
Our laws and Constitution protect each of us from having
our Government use our legal system to destroy us when we have not committed a
crime. Unlike banana republics, we do not use our legal system to punish our political
opponents, simply because we disagree with their ideology.
The concern that prompted the appointment of the Special
Counsel—a legal prosecutor—is whether Russia interfered in our election and the
Trump campaign "colluded" with the Russians to do so. After months of
national security investigations, no evidence of Trump campaign
"collusion" with the Russians has ever been found.
Election interference and collusion are national security
matters, not crimes, and no crimes were alleged when the Special Counsel was
appointed, as is required by the law and our Constitution.
So, bottom line, this appointment violates federal laws,
is contrary to our justice system and puts in jeopardy our Fourth Amendment
right not to have our property and records seized in the absence of our having
committed a crime.
If we fail to grasp the significance of what is happening
and do not take action now to bring this travesty to a crashing halt, then we
deserve to become a subjugated people.
This is a call to action--NOW!!

Special Counsel Recall And Accountability
Petition (SCRAP)
We, citizens of America, herewith exercise our right to petitionthe
Government for a redress of grievances guaranteed by the First Amendment to the
United States Constitution, to wit:
Whereas, the Code of Federal Regulations, 28
CFR 600.1 - Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel, states that the Attorney
General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting
Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that
criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted. And
Whereas, a Special Counsel was appointed by the Acting Attorney General without identifying a person who had committed a crime or a criminal matter that warranted investigation; instead, the appointment was made to investigate a non-criminal national security matter. And
Whereas, the appointment of a Special Counsel, under the above circumstances, creates an unconstitutional perversion of our criminal justice system, in that, any and all Americans who have committed no crime can be investigated by a Special Counsel and presumed “guilty” until proven “innocent” and, thereby, rendered vulnerable to search and seizures of our persons, houses, paper and effects without probable cause—a violation of our rights granted by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. And
Whereas, the Code of Federal Regulations, 28 CFR 45.2, states that a Justice Department employee cannot participate in a “criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with …Any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution.” And
Whereas, in violation of 28 CFR 45.2, the Special Counsel appointed by the Acting Attorney General has both a personal and political relationship with a key witness, as well as has hired lawyers to assist with the investigation who have made financial contributions to and performed legal services for the individual deemed to have been harmed by the non-criminal national security matter being investigated by the Special Counsel. And
Whereas, in light of the aforementioned, we, American citizens, assert that the Special Counsel appointment by the Acting Attorney General justifies this registration of our grievances with our Government, in that this appointment, in summary:
Establishes the precedent that a Special Counsel can be appointed to investigate any and all Americans who have committed no crime, and
Renders asunder one of the most sacred principles in the American criminal justice system that a citizen is innocent until proven guilty, and
Even more egregious, makes all Americans vulnerable to search and seizures of our persons, houses, paper and effects without probable cause—a violation of our rights granted by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.
Now, therefore, we demand that the United States House of Representatives Oversight Committee call for the immediate termination of the Special Counsel whose existence violates Code of Federal Regulations sections 28 CFR 600.1 and 28 CFR 45.2 and puts in jeopardy our Fourth Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution.
Whereas, a Special Counsel was appointed by the Acting Attorney General without identifying a person who had committed a crime or a criminal matter that warranted investigation; instead, the appointment was made to investigate a non-criminal national security matter. And
