David Schied (hereinafter “Gr_ieva_nt”), being one of the Peoplel and having established this case as a suit of the sovereign2 acting in his own capacity, herein

accepts for value the oaths3 and bonds of all the officers of this court, including

' PEOPLE.- “People are supreme, not the state.’ ’[Wa_ri_ng vs. the Ma_vor of S____avannah, 60 Georgia at 93]; “T he state cannot diminish rights of the people.” |Hertado v. Calitorni_a_, 100 US 516]; Preamble to the US and Michiga'n Con_sti_tutions- “We the people.. do ordain and establish this Constitution...;” “._.'.;at the Revolution, the sovereignty devolved on the people,' and they are truly the

sovereigns of the country, but they are sovereigns without subjects...with none to govern but themselves...” [Chisholrn v.. Georg'ia (US) 2 Dall 419, 454, l L Ed 440, 455, 2 Dall (1793) pp471-472]: “T he people of this State, as the successors of its former sovereign, are entitled to all the rights which formerly belonged to the King by his prerogative'.”' |Lansing v.' Smith, 4 Wen_d_. 9 (N,_Y.) (l 829), 21 Am. Dec. 89 10C Const. Law Sec. 298; 18 C Em. Dom. Sec. 3, '228; 37 C Nav. Wat. Sec. 219; Nuls Sec 167; 48 C Wharves Sec. 3, 7] See also, Dred Scott v. Sandford 60 U. S. 393 (1856) which states: "The words 'people of the United States' and 'citizens' are synonymous terms and mean the same thing. They both describe the political body who, according to our republican institutions form the sovereignty and who hold the power and conduct the Governmen't through their representatives T hey are what we familiarly call the ‘sovereign people ’, and every citizen is one of this people, and a constituent member of this sovereignty."

'2 McCullock v. Marvland, 4 Whe'at 31'6, 40.4, 405, states '.'In the United States, Sovereignty resides in the people, who act through the organs established by the Constitution~,"' and Colten v. Kentuclgv (1972) 407 U.S. 104, 122, 92 S. Ct. 1953 states; " T he constitutional theory is that we the people are the sovereigns, the state and federal ojicials only our agents." See also, First T rust Co. v. Smith, 134 Neb.; 277 SW 762, Which states in pertinent part, "T he theory of the American political system is that the ultimate sovereignty is i_n the people`, from whom all legitimate authority _springs»,~ and the people collectively, acting through the medium of constitutions create such governmental agencies, endow them with such powers, and subject them to such limitations as in their Wis`,dom will best promote the common good. "

3 OATHS. Article VI_: "T h1s Constitution, and the laws of the United States... shall be the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby,' anything in the Constitutio_n or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding... All executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and

ii

attorneys Having already presented his causes of action to this Texas ‘~‘Appellate” Court as a court of recordi, Grievant herein and hereafter proceeds according to the course ofCommon Law§.

Incorporated herein by reference are the Statements and Evidence contained in the previously-filed documents of this case, and all other documents referenced by the pages therein as supporting Evidence.

Notice is provided herein that I DO NOT CONSENT to the reference of Grievant David Schied as a corporate fiction in ALL CAPS` of lettering as “plai'ntiff’ (“DAVID SCHIED, plaintiff’), nor do I consent to the

mischaracterization of sui juris Grievant David_ Schied as operating in a “pro per”

of the several States, shall be bound by oath or a/§"rmatlon to support this Constitution."

4 "A C ourt of _Record is a judicial tribunal having attributes and exercising functions independently of the person of the magistrate designated generally to hold it, and proceeding according to the course of common law, its acts and proceedings being enrolled for a perpetual memorial". |Jones v. Jones, 188 Mo.App. 220, 175 S.W.‘ 227, 229; Ex parte Gladhill, 8 Metc. Ma'ss.,, 171, per Shaw, C.J. See also, Ledwith v. Rosals@, 244 N.Y. 406, 155 N._E. 688, 689].

5 COMMON LAW. - _Accordi_n_g to Bla_ck’s Law Dictionary (Abridged Si`Xth Edition, 1991): “As distinguished from law created by the enactment of legislatures [admiralty], the common law comprises the body of those principles and rules of action, relating to the government and security of persons and property, which derive their authority solely from usages and customs of immemorial antiquity, or from the judgments and decrees of the courts recognizing ajj‘irming, and enforcing such usages and customs.” “_[I]n this sense, particularly the ancient unwritten law of England ” [1 Kent, Comm. 492. S______tate v. Buchanan, 5 Ha_r. & J. (Md. ) 3G5 9 Am. Dec. 534; Lux' v. Ilaggin, G9 Cal 255, 10 Pac G74; Western Union Tel. Co. v. C_all Pub. Co., 21 S. Ct. 561, 181 U. S. 92, 45 L. Ed. 765'; BarQ v. Port Jervis, 72 N. Y. 8. 104 64 App. Div. 268; U. 8 _v_. Miller. D. C Wash 236 F. 798, 800.]

iii

or “pro se” capacity_. Note that all “summons” were issued with notice to all co- Defendants that Grievant David Schied is “suijuris.”

Notice is also provided herein that I» D`O NOT CONSENT to any court with a proven proclivity toward contributing to the domestic terrorism being carried out, hand-in-hand with state and county government imposters, as usumers of The

People ’s power and authority.
