The Grand Jury is composed of Citizens and is required to investigate evidence of corruption of political officials.  But in Minnesota, the Judicial Branch has taken over the Grand Juries and has refused to allow the Grand Juries to hear the evidence that would indict their fellow judges of crimes.

The cover-up is deep and wide.

In the summer of 2007 Citizens demanded to the Chief Judge of the Ramsey County district court (Gregg Johnson), access to the Grand Jury to bring evidence of corruption of public officials.  The judge refused. 

In November of 2007 an indictment came down from the Grand Jury of Ramsey County on a murder investigation.  The indictment was signed by the foreperson of the Grand Jury.  A criminal complaint (and evidence) of only one, of over 40 cases was sent to the Grand Jury foreperson.  The foreperson, confused, sent the information to Chuck Balck of the Ramsey County attorney?s office. Balck gave the information to Chief Judge Gregg Johnson.  Johnson buried it.

Undaunted, numerous Citizens petitioned the Governor (Tim Pawlenty) and the Minnesota Attorney General (Lori Swanson) seeking a special Grand Jury to be convened.  Pawlenty and Swanson ignored the Citizens.

The Citizens arrived at the state capital with TV cameras and asked to speak with Pawlenty and Swanson concerning their petition for a Grand Jury to be convened. Instead of responding to the Citizens, the state police were called and threatened the Citizens with arrest, and the police grabbed the equipment of the reporters.

The Citizens also petitioned both the Minnesota Court of Appeals and the Minnesota Supreme Court seeking a writ of mandamus to compel access to the Grand Juries. No response.

Now, a private Citizen has funded a full-page ad in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. This man is not wealthy, yet he dug into his own pockets to bring the message to the People of the state of Minnesota. ?We want out GRAND JURY to investigate the evidence of corruption in the judicial branch.?

When will the People understand that it is OUR responsibility to correct OUR government? The Grand Jury is charged with the duty to investigate ALL evidence of corruption of public officials, including the judges.

The Citizens of the state of Minnesota will not stand down. They will be heard, and they will require that ALL public officials are made accountable to the People.

It is the right of the People to bring evidence of corruption directly to the Grand Jury. We demand our rightful access to the Grand Jury.
