The Legal System, Family Conflict, The Supreme Court, Pro-Life, and Justice, Part 3


I am only posting about my eviction case today on http://christiangunslinger1.blogspot.com and http://christiangunslinger7.blogspot.com. Christian Gunslinger, 3, and 5 will follow their normal formats. Too much material that needs to be posted. 

Yesterday, I sent the following e-mail to Keith Sommer. Keith is the representative for our district in the Illinois House of Representatives. He also grew up in Morton as I did and was one year ahead of me in school. He also knows my brother-in-law Mel Stanford well since they are both Tazewell County Republicans.

I’m going to keep this short and to the point. The families of Illinois need your help. I know the problems Illinois is facing this coming session and I am sorry for adding to them.
Mel and Lil have had me evicted. I must be out by the 31st. It seems that under trust law a new trustee can change the past. Mom had promised me I could stay at the house as long as I wanted. The new trustee revoked that promise and it was legal to do so according to the current law. Please read my December 27 post at http://christiangunslinger.blogspot.com and the last post of October, 2011—October 19th—from the same site.
I’m using a library computer and the last day I can use it is Saturday till 4:45PM so there is some urgency if you want to contact me. I’ll be in the house—230 N. Second Avenue—till Monday night and out in front of it Tuesday during the daylight hours in protest. I do intend to carry out the hunger strike.
Thank you for any help you can give to the families of Illinois”



Yesterday, I also sent this e-mail to Illinois Family Institute

“I’m going to keep this short and to the point. The families of Illinois need your organization’s help. I know the problems Illinois is facing this coming session and I am sorry for adding to them. I am a blogger and have regularly used IFI’s material. You do a great work for Illinois which is much needed as you know.
My siblings have had me evicted. I must be out by the 31st. It seems that under trust law a new trustee can change the past. My mom had promised me I could stay at the house as long as I wanted. I made decisions based upon that promise. The new trustee revoked that promise and it was legal to do so according to the current law.

Second Avenue, Morton, Illinois, 61550—till Monday night and out in front of it Tuesday during the daylight hours in protest. I do intend to carry out the hunger strike.
Thank you for any help you can give to the families of Illinois”


Today, I mailed this letter to the local media:

“On April 13, 2012, I sent a letter to you in relation to an eviction case I was involved in. (A copy of that original letter is enclosed.) The trial ended with an order for eviction which occurs December 31, 2012. It seems that under trust law a new trustee can change the past. My mom had promised me I could stay at the house as long as I wanted. The new trustee revoked that promise and it was legal to do so according to the current law.

Please read my December 27 post at http://christiangunslinger.blogspot.com and October 19, 2011post from the same site. More information about this issue is posted at http://christiangunslinger1.blogspot.com. I’ll be in the house—230 N. Second Avenue, Morton, Illinois, 61550—till Monday night and out in front of it Tuesday during the daylight hours in protest. I do intend to carry out the hunger strike. I’ll give interviews as often as requested until physically unable to do so. I think this is an important news story. Are you willing to do your journalist duty? Or are people in the area going to ask why wasn’t this story covered?

I call it my “Hunger Strike for Justice.” Justice for me and all family members who sacrifice for a parent and receive evil as a result and, more importantly, justice for the millions of unborn babies who have been MURDERED over the last 40 years in this nation.

Thank you and may the people of this nation repent and turn to GOD the only true SAVIOR for mankind

Sincerely,”

Today, I also sent a second e-mail to Illinois Family Institute
“The process has begun. My sister did not respond. I have mailed letters to the local media but don’t expect much from them. I pray that your organization will keep my efforts alive. I don’t want to suffer for nothing.
Please work to change the law or at least to warn GOD-fearing Christians to get everything in writing even from close relatives. However, I’m mostly concerned with stopping the massacre of innocent unborn babies. We have allowed Satan, through the ACLU and other similar groups, to define the terms of engagement to his advantage.
The Roe v. Wade decision and a whole host of other Supreme Court decisions are unconstitutional for at least two obvious reasons.
1) The process used was clearly unconstitutional.

Article III, § 2, ¶ 2

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction.”

Why are the States disregarding the Constitution? We must get them to assert their constitutional rights. No lower federal court judge should ever be able to tell a State what to do as happened in California over Proposition 8, in Arizona in relation to its immigration law, and in Texas in the Roe case. Since the Supreme Court did not hear the case originally, the decision constitutionally must be null and void. The Constitution was not followed.

2) The federal courts have been systematically unconstitutionally misusing the Fourteen Amendment.

The Thirteenth – Fifteenth Amendments are the first instances where Congress by Amendment specifically removes the courts from the process. The example in the fourteenth amendment reads “The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.” [14th Amendment, §5, ¶ 1.]

Instead of Congress doing so, the courts have taken it upon themselves to apply the “due process/equal protection” clause to the States. Doing so clearly violates the Constitution as amended.”

The problem with this process is the time of year. For all I know my sister is on vacation. She normally does not take a vacation this time of year but things have changed over the last year. This is a busy time for many people. Nevertheless, I will press on. I will be outside the house on Tuesday during the daylight hours and every day thereafter that I can physically make it. Wednesday around 10AM I do have to return a rental car so I will be absent for a short while that day. Forecast is for cold! I hate cold weather! So be it! I don’t know when I will be able to post again, if at all! Work to save the lives of unborn children!

PRAY! BE BOLD! SERVE THE LORD! BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT! LOVE IN CHRIST!

The Legal System, Family Conflict, The Supreme Court, Pro-Life, and Justice, Part 2


My eviction court case number is Case No. 12-LM-156
Two more members of the cast of characters dealing with my eviction
ATG Trust Company—the new trustee who took over in October of 2011 according to documents given to my attorney during discovery (See the e-mail below that I received from my brother-in-law—a Republican member of the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors)
Mark McGrath—the attorney representing the new trustee in this area of the State
According to a news story in the Morton Times-News, Mark McGrath is the attorney for several of our Republican Townships in Tazewell County. See the other cast of characters listed on my December 27, 2012 post.
Mr. McGrath

It is my understanding that in October we asked for a yearly accounting of the trust since the new trustee took control of the trust the year previous. At the trial on November 30th, I heard your son Pat tell my attorney that it was coming. According to my attorney, she has not received it and it was to be sent directly to me. As of today, I have not received it. Why not? I would appreciate receiving said information before my eviction date. That does seem reasonable. It has been over two months since the original request.

Second, I have not been given instructions on turning over the keys to the house. On January 1, 2013, I will be on public property outside the house during daylight hours protesting my eviction under the unjust law that allowed it. I will turn over the keys at that time. I will need a signed receipt for the keys.

Third, on January 1, 2013, I will donate my possessions to my church. Will the church be given a reasonable time to remove those possessions from the house?

Fourth, you might want to check out http://christiangunslinger.blogspot.com—the December 27 post. According to blogger.com, I have already received almost twice as many hits on this one post than I have received on any specific post since I once again started using this particular site. People seem to be interested in this issue.

Since my means of communication is through the computers at the local library and since the library will be closed till January 2nd after closing Saturday afternoon, I need answers to these issues by Saturday December 29th by 4:45PM.

Thank you

Don L. Vance
P.S. This e-mail will be posted on http://christiangunslinger1.blogspot.com later today. Have a good day!

To:
Just a short note to give everyone an update on the Vance Family Trust. After much thought, we, as trustees, concluded that it would be better if the administration of the trust was transferred to a neutral third party.
This has been done. The administration of the Vance Family Trust is now being conducted by the ATG Trust Company. The local representative for ATG Trust is Mark McGrath. Mark is a local attorney who has worked with Martha (My mother—my addition) and us over the years on various issues. (Guess who recommended Mark McGrath to my parents!—my addition)
Any questions about the administration of the Vance Family Trust should be directed to Mr. McGrath at:” (I have not included the rest of the e-mail except for the following—my addition)
“Lil and Mel”
I received my eviction notice on January 5, 2012. As you’ll recall, according to the documents given under discovery, ATG Trust Company became the new trustee in October 2011. I wonder why the delay in telling me/us. Or did the rest of the family already know?

The Legal System, Family Conflict, The Supreme Court, Pro-Life, and Justice


Last month on my blogs, I posted that I would not be doing articles on November 30th because I had a court date. I had started posting material on http://christiangunslinger1.blogspot.com in relation to the legal matter but stopped after I got an attorney. The case was an eviction case where my siblings were trying to evict me from mom’s home. Mom’s home was in a trust set up originally for mom and dad. After dad’s death, it was for mom. I lost the case. In my opinion, I lost not because I was in the wrong but because the law allowed for the trustee to change what had happened in the past and what was promised in the past—to change history.
I am to vacate the property by December 31st. After prayer and thought on Christmas Day, I decided how to proceed. I believe and pray I am being guided by the HOLY SPIRIT. I am posting a letter today on all my blogs that I sent to my sister yesterday and am e-mailing to her today. My remaining posts for this year which will end Saturday according to my plan will probably deal with this issue. However, that is not written in stone. The library is closed Monday and Tuesday. I hope I can begin posting again after the New Year but that is not certain. I’m going to try!
The cast of characters:
Linda M. Smith—my half sister (We have the same father)
Lawrence (Larry) E. Vance—my half brother (We have the same father)
Billy (Bill) R. Vance—my half brother (We have the same father)
Lillian F. Stanford—my sister
Melvin Stanford—my brother-in-law and a Republican member of the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors
At the time the conflict started, everyone lived in Tazewell County except for Bill. He lives in Rock Falls, Illinois. Larry has moved back to the State of Washington. In 2004, he and I moved back to Illinois at approximately the same time. I moved back from Tucson, Arizona having lived there for 24 years. I arrived a few days earlier and did not know that he was moving back. Linda died in October of this year.
The letter:
Lillian
I could not sleep because of my situation and the pain that I feel. Pain not for myself but for you and your family and for families throughout the United States.
I started writing this at 1:30AM this morning—December 26th, 2012. I pray that you had a good Christmas. Regardless of the actual date of HIS birth, you should have. We were celebrating the birth of the most precious life in the history of mankind. The birth of the SON of GOD—the Messiah, the CHRIST, the SAVIOR of the world. And yet on that same day, as we in the United States celebrated HIS birth, statistically over 2,740 innocent unborn babies were being massacred within these same United States. We mourn the recent slaughter of 20 innocent children in Newtown, Connecticut and fly the American flag at half-staff. And yet, as a nation, we are relatively silent about the continuing MURDER of so many innocent unborn babies. Over the last 40 years we have MURDERED over 55,000,000 innocent unborn children.
And we, as a nation, lie to ourselves that somehow an immoral, illegal Supreme Court decision has made that mass MURDER into a “right.” We have MURDERED more innocents as a government than the Hitler empire ever dreamed of doing. And we smugly lie and call it a “right” and “women’s health.” Oh, how deeply we, as a nation, have fallen into the depths of HELL itself!
And yet some of us, in our small way, have worked to end the slaughter. You may remember that several years ago while I was living in Morton and giving of my life to care for mom that I asked you to sign a petition in opposition to the MURDER of unborn babies. I had signed. Mom had signed. But, you refused to sign. In our following discussion, you ended the conversation by stating that GOD knows your heart. You were right; HE does. HE knew it then and HE knows it now. The question is: where is your heart? Is it on the side of lies that come from the champion of liars—Satan? Or is it on the side of truth and justice that can only come from GOD—the CREATOR of all things including the miraculous process for creating human life.
You and I graduated from the same high school although I graduated a few years before you. In my freshman year biology class taught by Mr. Henry, I was taught that life begins at conception. Did they change that teaching by the time you were in the class? How can anyone support the MURDER of innocent unborn babies and claim to be a Christian and to be obedient to GOD’S will? How can anyone not work to save human life from mass MURDER and destruction and claim that “GOD knows my heart” in a positive sense?
Fast forward to today. You know that from June of 2004 when I moved back to Morton to about September of 2011, I gave my life to caring for mom. When I moved back, she told me that she did not want me here and she was going to charge me rent to live at the house. I think she was afraid of losing her independence and of me controlling her life. I told her that I was not going to pay rent for the privilege of caring for her and that, if I paid rent, I would live in the house as a tenant and not as a son. I would get a job, save my money, and move back to Tucson within a year.
After some discussion, she promised that I could life at the house as long as I wanted—as a son—and not pay rent. Under those circumstances, knowing that mom was a person of honor and a person of her word, I gladly stayed and cared for her without pay for the many services I provided. I never would have stayed in Morton without that guarantee from her. (I am not stupid.) After a couple of years of caring for mom she was telling people I was indispensable. And as you know, when I suggested to you that I would move if you wanted me to, mom shouted “No, don’t go!”
Also, as you know, mom had long term nursing home coverage. You also know that, when the monthly premium was approaching $500 a month, you, Linda, and I discussed and decided to end the long term nursing home coverage. You and Linda as trustees of mom’s trust although mom was the primary trustee. And in fact the nursing home coverage was ended and mom saved $500 a month and more in later years on nursing home premiums.
You know that we agreed that I would stay in Morton until mom died. The plan was that I would continue to care for mom and she would not spend the last days of her life in an impersonal nursing home. Linda even said to me as you also heard, “Please don’t die!” I said I had no plans on dying. I had said in the past that I wanted to move back to Tucson. To alleviate Linda’s concerns, I promised that I would not move until after mom’s death.
Then sometime in 2011, you, Linda, and Mel decided to keep mom permanently in a nursing home. And then without going into the details in this letter, you decided to evict me from mom’s house. Ironically or not, it was Linda who died first—not me and not mom who is still in the nursing home. I had warned you that GOD knows what is occurring and that GOD promised HIS children that HE will avenge those who do harm to HIS children. Romans 12: 19 (NIV) “Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for GOD’S wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the LORD.”
I thought that with Linda dying less than two months before my eviction court case that GOD’S hand was involved. I certainly believe that to be the case. I don’t believe in coincidences but I do believe in the power of GOD and that GOD keeps his promises even if you do not. Obviously, since the eviction case continued and I was evicted, you were not convinced by Linda’s death. To me that means that GOD has more avenging to do. I am praying that you do repent and you do turn to GOD. However, I fear that you have not and will not before it is too late and terrible consequences result.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I do fear what GOD has in store for you and yours. It may not happen immediately. It may happen in a variety of ways. But if you do not repent, it will happen, of that I am sure. Based upon lies and broken promises, you have harmed me and have dishonored mom.
Since this conflict seems to revolve around money—the root of all sorts of evil, I am using Zacchaeus as the basis for my proposal. Luke 19: 8-10 (NIV) “But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, ‘Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.’
Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.’”
Here is my proposal: I be permitted to remain in mom’s house until the end of May. In return, I will help get the house ready to do whatever you want to do with it. I am given the now $45,000 that mom had promised me—$5,000 for each year I stayed in Morton. This must be agreed to in writing by noon Saturday December 29, 2012.
If it is not agreed to and I pray that it will be but I am fearful that you will not repent, I will go nuclear. I call it my “Hunger Strike for Justice.” Justice for me and all family members who sacrifice for a parent and receive evil as a result and, more importantly, justice for the millions of unborn babies who have been MURDERED over the last 40 years in this nation. And that is exactly what will happen. I will stop eating and I will make it public. After noon on Saturday, letters will go out to all local media, at the minimum. I am willing to die if need be in order to bring about your repentance. If you do not repent, I expect that GOD’S vengeance will be even greater than originally. I pray that does not happen but it is in your hands. We are all responsible for our actions and for the consequences of those actions.
This letter will be posted on all my blogs today.
One good thing has happened because of this eviction. I started writing a new book entitled The Bold Church of Jesus, the Christ. I started teaching that material Sunday morning in one of our Bible classes. You and family are invited to come to the class this Sunday. It starts at 9:30AM. It is at the East Peoria church of Christ. If you come, enter through the side door that has the carport covering. Turn left at the first hallway, go past the first classroom on the right and past the hallway on the right. My classroom is the next entrance on the right. Bring a pen, we do writing in my class.
Praying for a GOD based ending.

Without going into details, in 2003 an elder at my church in Tucson did me wrong. I agape love him and respect him deeply as well as members of his family. They were all good Christians. Google the obituaries for Phillip Biggers and Joan Biggers from Tucson. You no doubt will scorn this, but I believe their deaths were by GOD’S hand for the wrong done to me. GOD is just and HE disciplines even HIS own children. One of the reasons I moved back to care for mom was because of the 2003 occurrence.

Democrats at National Convention are pro-choice except for

1) people’s consumption of food and drink

2) energy use—light bulbs

3) union membership

4) schools to attend

“But I certainly support choice” when it comes to MURDERING your own unborn child!

Of course, today is the eleventh anniversary of the attack on the U.S. by Muslim zealots. According to my calendar, today is also “Patriot Day.” This seemed a good day to respond to an IRS letter I received in August of this year. Actually, it was the second letter I received on this specific subject. I did not respond to the first letter. I did to this one and mailed the response this morning.
The IRS letter started with the following:
YOUR TAX RETURN IS OVERDUE   PLEASE CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY
Our records show that we have not received the following tax return(s) from you.
Form Number: 1040
Title: US INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX RETURN
Tax period(s): 12-31-2010
The following is my answer to the letter:
Donald L. Vance
XXXXXXXXXX
Morton, Illinois 61550

Internal Revenue Service
P.O. Box 24035
Fresno, California 93779-4035
Re: Notice Number: XXXXX
Notice Date: 2012-08-13
Tax Period: 201012
To Whom It May Concern:
In response to the above mentioned notice, on August 13, 2010 I sent a letter to the IRS stating that I would NOT file an income tax return or pay income tax as long as the federal government is financing the MURDER of unborn babies. [copy enclosed] That was true then and is true now. I have NOT filed a tax return for 2009, 2010, 2011, and, if the federal government continues to immorally finance the MURDER of unborn babies, I will not for 2012. It does not matter if I am required to do so by law or not.
If the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that the so called Obamacare legislation was Unconstitutional, I would have filed all unfiled returns. However, it immorally and illegally did not. Thus, I will continue to NOT file any return.
Amendment XVI, which is the source of your authority, states “The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.” A majority of the Supreme Court, using the most convoluted reasoning on earth, concocted a totally illogical decision concluding that NOT buying a specific product is somehow taxable as income. The actual result of said decision is that words have no meaning except as fabricated by the Supreme Court. The result is that the Supreme Court may decide whatever it wants to decide and the federal government may do whatever it wants to do as long as it is supported by the Supreme Court.
That is the very definition of TYRANNY! I will NOT take part in any form of TYRANNY! Therefore, my decision remains the same—I will NOT file any federal tax return as long as the federal government is financing the MURDER of unborn babies!
Donald L. Vance
The copy of the letter I sent to the IRS in August of 2010:
Donald L. Vance
XXXXXXXXXX
Morton, Illinois 61550
August 13, 2010
Be it known that:
MURDERING unborn babies is obscenely immoral and illegal.
Requiring citizens to finance the MURDER of unborn babies is obscenely immoral and illegal making every citizen an accessory to the crime of MURDER.
Therefore:
In all good conscience, as a Christian who must answer to a higher authority—GOD—WHO is both just and moral, I will neither file nor pay income tax to an immoral, illegal manmade institution which condones and finances the MURDER of unborn babies.
GOD bless the United States if it is obedient to the WILL of GOD.
GOD condemn the United States if it is immoral, rebellious, and unrepentant as it disobeys the WILL of GOD.
Donald L. Vance
The original copy did not have the following quoted Bible verses. The letter that I sent today did.
“Jesus said to them, ‘If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a MURDERER (my capitalization—my addition) from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a LIAR (my capitalization—my addition) and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.’” John 8: 42-47 (NIV)
“ … and you know that no MURDERER (my capitalization—my addition) has eternal life in him.” I John 3: 15b (NIV)
“But Peter and John replied, ‘Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to OBEY (my capitalization—my addition) you rather than GOD (my capitalization—my addition). For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.’” Acts 4: 19-20 (NIV)

The Federal Government Is a Thief!


Watch this video:
Today, all five of my blogs are posting the same material. These blogs are:
A big, burly man walks into a pharmacy and hands the clerk a note. The note says:
“I have a female friend who needs contraceptives of all kinds. She, however, does not want to pay for them herself. This note should be considered a strong demand that your company supply these needed contraceptives to her immediately. Fill your largest bag with them. If this is done, nothing further will happen. If not, who knows what may befall the company.
Providing said contraceptives is for her health. You do want her to be healthy don’t you? Your company has sufficient profits that it will not miss the relatively small amount being provided free to her for her healthy existence. You do want her to be healthy don’t you?
Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter. I will return when she needs further assistance. Until then, have a good day!”
The clerk quickly fills the bag and reluctantly hands the bag over to the man. He then exits the building.
Clearly the man stole the contraceptives from the company.
Now, substitute “the federal government—the President through executive fiat” for the big, burly man. Substitute “mandate” for the note. The result is:
The federal government has mandated that women be provided free contraceptives including the so-called “morning after pill” which MURDERS unborn babies. What is different about this mandate in comparison to the above story? Nothing of substance.
 Every contraceptive provided has a cost of production. It is not free. The federal government is stealing from someone—whoever is providing the product free of charge. And it is clearly illegal, immoral, and Unconstitutional. It is the act of a dictatorial, totalitarian government. If the federal government can mandate this, they can mandate anything in the name of “helping” someone in need!  
The Constitution clearly names the powers and duties of the President. Nothing! Absolutely NOTHING in the Constitution gives the President or anyone or any other body in the federal government the power and/or authority to “mandate” that anyone and/or any entity must provide a good or service as desired by the federal government. NOTHING! This mandate is pure evil, pure dictatorial, pure totalitarian in scope. IT is absolutely UNCONSITUTIONAL!  
Read the relevant sections of the Constitution pertaining to the President for yourself.  
The United States Constitution Article II, Sections 2 and 3 contains the official Constitutional powers and duties of the President of the United States. Following are sections 2 and 3 in their entirety.
Section. 2.

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Section. 3.

He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.”

Furthermore, fearing the abuse of power that was granted within the Constitution, Congress soon passed Amendments to further restrict the federal government including Amendment V.
Amendment V of the United States Constitution contains the following:
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation (My use of red—my addition).”
“[N]or shall private property (contraceptives of all varieties—my addition) be taken for public use (And NOTHING gives the federal government the power and/or authority to take private property for private use!—my addition), without just compensation (And in this mandate no compensation is offered or given!—my addition).”
Clearly and obviously, the federal government is a thief! And those who accept the stolen contraceptives are accessories after the fact! And any court that allows it to happen is an accomplice.

The May 9, 2012 Bench Trial


On May 9, 2012 I was once again at the Pekin Court house for the “Bench Trial.” I wasn’t sure what was going to transpire since I had requested a jury trial. Were we going to proceed with a jury trial and that morning begin the process of selecting a jury? Would the request for a jury trial be rejected and we proceed immediately into the bench trial?
Since I didn’t know the process, I was prepared to proceed immediately into a bench trial if that was the case. This time the lobby on this floor seemed to be almost deserted. We were inside the court room and beginning the process before the 10AM start time.
It didn’t take long. The judge said I had followed the procedure that he had previously explained that I was to follow and granted the request for a jury trial. The lawyer for the new Trustee attempted to argue otherwise. However, the judge quickly cut him off and asserted that the request for a jury trial was affirmed.
Therefore, the case was to move from his court room on the second floor to another judge and another court room located on the first floor. The attorney and I proceeded to the first floor to establish a date and time for a hearing on my motion to dismiss the case with prejudice. Speaking to the clerk of the judge, the lawyer also said he was going to object to the request for a jury trial.
A date and a time had to be established. The attorney attempted numerous times to reach his office by cell phone to determine what day and time was available based upon his current calendar. For whatever reason, he could not make contact with the office. He therefore agreed to a date that was over a month and a half into the future. The Motion Hearing was set for June 27, 2012 at 3:30PM.

Payment of the Jury Trial Fee and a Motion


JOKE of the DAY:
“Obama: Romney, GOP ‘not serious’ about deficit
From Associated Press
July 13, 2012 1:47 PM EDT

“VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP)—President Barack Obama says if Mitt Romney and Republicans aren’t willing to let tax cuts lapse for the wealthiest Americans, they’re ‘not serious’ about deficit reduction.”

The President in office at the time of the greatest increase in the national debt in any one term is saying Republicans aren’t serious about deficit reduction!


April 30, 2012

I borrowed my church friend’s car once more and drove to Pekin to pay the jury trial fee. I had $212.50 in cash along with some extra money just in case.

The jury trial request was as follows:

To: The Honorable XXXX XXXXXX
Judge of the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit

Donald L. Vance
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
April 30, 2012
RE: Continuance order to May 9, 2012 at 10AM for the bench trial ….
XXXX XXXX XXXXX, Successor Trustee of the XXXXXX Living Trust
Plaintiff
     vs.
Donald Vance
      Defendant
Case No. XX-XX-XXX
Amount Claimed: Court Costs
Dear Judge XXXXXX:
I respectfully request that my scheduled bench trial on May 9, 2012 at 10AM be changed to a jury trial.
Respectfully submitted by:
Donald L. Vance
I also filed one motion at that time. The motion:
Motion for dismissal of court case XX-XX-XXX with prejudice
To: The Honorable XXXX XXXXXX
Judge of the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit

Donald L. Vance
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
April 30, 2012
RE: Continuance order to May 9, 2012 at 10AM for the bench trial ….
XXXX XXXX XXXXX, Successor Trustee of the XXXXXX Living Trust
Plaintiff
     vs.
Donald Vance
      Defendant
Case No. XX-XX-XXX
Amount Claimed: Court Costs
Dear Judge XXXXXX:
I respectfully submit a motion for dismissal of the Plaintiff’s claim with prejudice. The Plaintiff can not possibly prove the alleged claim of Paragraph 2 that “The Plaintiff, through its prior Trustee, allowed the Defendant to reside in the property described in Paragraph 1 without payment of any cash rent in exchange for providing personal services for XXXXXXX X XXXXXX.”
(I gave six reasons why the case should be dismissed. I will not list those reasons in this post.)
In conclusion, the Defendant asks for two immediate actions in relation to this motion.
1) The dismissal of court case XX-XX-XXX with prejudice.
2) The Defendant respectfully requests that Plaintiff be ordered to pay all Defendant court costs which at this time consists of $89.00 court filing fee and $212.50 for jury trial fee.
Respectfully submitted,
Donald L. Vance
