Stop Government Prosecutors’ Overreach without Oversight

Sound the alarm to others on social media.  

Please take the time to grasp how important our right to defend ourselves has become.  The government has issued more laws than Americans can read in their lifetime. The government selects which laws will be enforced and who will be persecuted.  The power of our Federal, State, and County Governments continues to grow while our rights to defend ourselves, as guaranteed by the Constitution’s Sixth Amendment, are nearly extinct. Read the Sixth Amendment here.
Many authorities believe we have two systems of justice in America, while others experience little to no justice at all. Whether these authorities are correct is not debated here. What is discussed is whether or not we will demand the government STOP unconstitutional overreach persecution.
America has more U.S. Codes, laws, statutes, and ordinances than can be read in a lifetime, yet we are responsible to obey each one. Various sources report that the average American commits three felonies each day. America has the highest imprisonment rate in the world.  This out-of-control injustice led us to prepare this Executive Summary of The Problem, The Cause, The Trial Penalty, and The Solution to demand a Legislative Pause in prosecutorial overreach. The Pause could give the government time to enact fair and reasonable Sixth Amendment-compliant measures through the bureaucracy without causing more harm to average Americans.
Please click here to tell the government to stop unconstitutional overreach. Many Americans have already signed on. Our goal is to have people in every State represented. Please forward the link to others, share it on social media, and encourage others to be included.  Our respectful demands are for emergency Legislative Pauses on 1) prosecutors’ overreach without proof, transparency, and oversight and 2) the Department of Justice (DOJ) sentencing power transfer from judges to prosecutors. Sentencing power must be restored to judges. Below is the request we send Congressional House and Senate Committees
Please do your part.  Send a short email, such as the below sample, to your government officials, including your Governor, State Attorney General, State and Federal Senators, Representatives, and appropriate county officials. Their email addresses are listed at https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials/ and other online sites.  

SAMPLE SHORT EMAIL FOR YOU TO SEND: (Frequently, Government Officials require relatively short emails limiting the number of characters.) 

Respectfully request you place emergency legislative pauses on 1) unconstitutional government overreach of prosecutors’ plea-bargaining without oversight & transparency & 2) sentencing power transfer from judges to prosecutors.  Power to sentence must be restored to judges. These two pauses allow you time to enact fair & reasonable Amendment 6-compliant measures through your bureaucracy without causing future harm to citizens. Also, all plea-bargaining lacking oversight, proof & admissible evidence in grand jury & other cases must be stopped & de-funded immediately. Abusive government prosecutorial misconduct is a mockery of freedom. We support prosecutor plea bargaining with transparency, oversight & the authority for unbiased judges to waive DOJ Sentencing Commission Mandatory Minimums. Refer to https://wecanbeheroesfoundation.org/executive-summary-your-probable-imprisonment-reaches-alarming-rate and https://www.nacdl.org/Document/TrialPenaltySixthAmendmentRighttoTrialNearExtinct Your actions will be shared. 

WE SEND THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES AND SUBCOMMITTEES, INCLUDING U.S. HOUSE AND SENATE JUDICIARY, OVERSIGHT,  RULES AND HOMELAND SECURITY.   

Please take emergency action to protect the Constitution Sixth Amendment rights of my family and community to defend ourselves against prosecutors’ overreach without oversight and transparency.  This is a respectful demand for the protection of my family as well as yours that you place an immediate legislative pause on 1) prosecutors’ plea-bargaining without oversight, transparency, and right to appeal; and 2) the sentencing power transfer from judges to prosecutors.  This abusive government overreach is shown in the below-referenced Executive Summary and is now widely known as “The Trial Penalty”.

The power to sentence must be restored to judges.  The unilateral DOJ Sentencing Commission Mandatory Minimum Sentence Guidelines should not dictate sentences.  An unbiased judge should be permitted to consider a person’s history, culpability, responsibilities, and sentence as justice dictates.  DOJ Sentencing Commission Mandatory Sentencing Guidelines are designed to imprison our population with ever-increasing DOJ mandatory imprisonment time and certainly have not reduced crime in my community.

Please review the online reports referenced below for your necessary due diligence to restore our Sixth Amendment rights to defend ourselves.  This request is simple.  My family, as well as others, are simply requesting you place a pause on the above two horrific government overreach powers affecting the freedom of all Americans and violating the letter and the spirit of our Constitution. These two pauses should allow you time to enact fair and reasonable Sixth Amendment-compliant measures through your bureaucracy without causing future harm to citizens.

All plea-bargaining lacking proof and admissible or legally obtained evidence in grand jury and other criminal cases must be stopped and de-funded immediately.  This abusive government prosecutorial misconduct makes a mockery of our liberty and the Constitutional intent of grand juries. Please note the Executive Summary suggests you re-think and redefine the necessity, use, and validity of abusive grand jury indictments lacking prosecutors’ oversight, admissible evidence, and withheld evidence.

To be clear, we fully support prosecutors’ plea-bargaining power when transparency and oversight outside the prosecutor’s agency chain of command exists and when an unbiased judge has the authority to waive the DOJ Sentencing Commission Mandatory Minimums.  Plea-bargaining compliant with the spirit of the Sixth Amendment serves our community in the speedy resolution of cases.

We are sharing this urgent request to sound the alarm for you and your constituency, as well as others across the country.  Please reply with your plan of action.  I trust you will stop funding this unconstitutional work of prosecutors and the DOJ.  Your response or inaction will weigh heavily on our voting and support.  May God grant you the speed and courage to act responsibly with haste.
