PEOPLE'S JURY

Dear Bro. Patrick:

How about setting up a special "People Empowerment Meeting" and seek joint sponsorship by all alliances for good government for the enactment by the initiative process the "People's Jury Initiative" and make it effective by the end of this year. By arming the people with Grand Jury and Trial Jury, they will have the clout and strength to send to prison any arrogant grafter and corrupt TRAPOS who may be elected to office.

Guaranteed imprisonment by the INDEPENDENT decision of the common people in justice through the jury is, I strongly believe, the only rule of law that can force any public official, regardless of whether he is a president or not, to respect the people's sovereign power. Once corrupt powerful public officials start seeing their own kind go to jail by the jury decisions of the people, I think, they will finally come to their senses to behave they way they should. What is Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution for if we do not implement the exercise of the people's supreme power in it? Just for constitutional decoration only? Let us not, the common people, remain the underdog in justice. Let us not remain beggars of justice. Government authority emanates from us - not from TRAPOS. That is what the constitution said. Let us obliterate our defeatist mentality.

Regards.
