A. PETiTiON FOR THE REDRESS OF GRiEVANCES

Now comes the undersigned, a Citizen, Veteran, Taxpayer, and a "People" within the ordinary
meaning of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, written in simple English,
and petitions the court herein to enjoin the President of the United States from violating the
United States Constitution in the following multitude of unauthorized actions.

 The authority for said petition is found in Amendment I of the United States Constitution

E. MEMORANDUM AND SPECIFICATIONS IN SUPPORT OF

PRESIDENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF SECTIONS A, B, C, & D

The President has taken an Oath to support the Constitution of the United States of
America. The President may be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of,
Treason, Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

 Where in Article II Section 1 lL • • • Power ... vested in a President" is the President

delivered the power to fire the head of General Motors directly or indirectly!
Where in the entire Constitution is the President delivered the authority to save one
banking institution and let another fail!
Where in the Constitution is the President delivered the authority to take over private or
public businesses!
Where in the Constitution is the President delivered the power or authority to take over
private automotive companies!
Where in the Constitution is the President delivered the power to own shares of stock in
private companies and to vote those interests!
The President does not have the power to vote the public interest in those corporations.
I insist the President send me and other citizens our certificates of ownership of those public or
private companies. I did not delegate to the President my authority to vote for the directors of
those companies. Those authorities have not been delivered to the President, the Executive
Branch of Government, or his personally chosen lackeys.
Where in the Constitution is the President delivered the power to authorize through his
Mini Czars the cancellation of automobile franchises and to breach contracts between
automobile companies and the franchise dealers without due process!
Where in the Constitution is the President delivered the authority to appoint some
twenty-two Mini Czars and their over six hundred employees, without advice and consent of
the Senatel
Where in the Constitution is the President delivered the authority to manipulate the laws
of Bankruptcy! The President has no authority to mistreat Chrysler's Secured Creditors and
Bond Holders. This is an unconstitutional taking of property. Further, it is common knowledge
that the President is politically indebted to the Automotive Unions.
Where in the Constitution is the President delivered the authority to deprive corporate
officers and directors from exercising their personal due process and property rights and their
duties to their shareholders, employees, Secured Creditors, and Bond Holders through
manipulation, intimidation, threats of dismissal from employment and other strong-arm tactics!

 How did the President get the Automotive Union's unsecured and unproven claims to
stand in front of Bond Holders, Secured Creditors, and General Creditors without regard to the
Bankruptcy Laws? Were the Bankruptcy Courts and Judges intimated also?
Article I Section 8 of the Constitution authorizes the establishment of a uniform
Bankruptcy Law throughout the United States. The Bankruptcy Laws required by the
Constitution are not to be manipulated.
The Executive Branch of Govemment is a political institution.
The Legislative Branch of Government has become a political institution, regrettably.
The Judicial Branch of Govemment, or Courts, is our last defense. The Constitution is
the supreme law of the land. The only recourse of the people is the Constitutional right to
petition for the redress of grievances.
The President after three days in Office directed the closing of Guantanamo, in Cuba.
This facility is the country club of our penal system. The President now wants eighty million
dollars ($80 Million) to close said facility. We citizens paid for that facility and own it. In
addition the President paid two hundred million dollars ($200 Million) of my and my fellow
citizens' money to a foreign Government to take, and house, some three detainees. Further,
the President in support of a political gesture paid one hundred and eighty dollars ($180) per
day, plus food and medical care, for several detainees to be housed in Bermuda, a Foreign
Territory, without advice and consent of the Senate in violation of Article \I Section 2 of the
Constitution.
Where in the Constitution is the President delivered the authority to use public funds in
the millions of dollars to be directed and paid to ACORN, a private group of entities presently
responding to some fourteen suits in our federal courts for fraud, with no accountability or
transparency of any kind! The use of public funds should be immediately terminated by the
Court and a total financial accounting be ordered. The President does not have Constitutional
authority to expend public funds for a disguised political use. It is common knowledge that
Acorn is an appendage of the President's political supporters.
Barak Hussein Obama, our President and Chief Executive, is a graduate of Harvard
Law School and claims to have been a Professor of Law. Maybe he should read the
Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Our President proposed and had passed a seven
hundred and eighty billion dollar ($780 Billion) stimulus package, which he did not write or

read. Congress passed that bill and was not allowed time, (some eighteen hours), to read and
examine a bill having over 800 pages. This is a misdemeanor at minimum. Barack Hussein
Obama is President of the United States of America, swom to uphold the Constitution. He is
not a monarch. Our federal revenue is not his personal bank account. It is my and other
citizens' money he is spending, in my mind not to increase employment but to insure political
support.
There are only three ways to alter this Govemment:
First, by revolution, which I do not endorse.
Second, by assassination which is illegal, and I do not endorse.
Third, by petitioning the govemment for the redress of grievances.

F. PRAYER FOR ENJOINING THE PRESIDENTS CONDUCT IN VIOLATION OF THE

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION; FOR THE DISCONTINUANCE OF SAID

INFRINGEMENTS AND UNAUTHORIZED CONDUCT.

This Court has taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution, as has the
President. The President has violated his oath and this Court should correct those violations.
1. This Court should by order or injunction terminate the appointment of the President
of General Motors and the politically appointed board of directors. A new president
and board of directors should be voted in by the shareholders of the corporation
under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court.
2. This Court should by order terminate the ownership of shares in General Motors and
Chrysler by the govemment and automotive unions.
3. Trlis Court Sl10uld by order or injunction reverse all automotive franchise
cancellations and let the Bankruptcy Court handle the matter as provided for by the
Constitution.
4. This Court should by order or injunction let the Bankruptcy Court reorder the
priorities of the Bond Holders and other Secured Creditors. The President has no
authority to place unsecured and unproven union claims in front of superior claims.
5. This Court should by order or injunction terminate the govemment takeover of any
private or public companies and prevent the govemment from owning shares in

 those companies including but not limited to automotive, insurance and banking
entities.
6. This Court should by order or injunction terminate all mini Czars and their over six
hundred employees, without pay, immediately.
7. This Court should by order or injunction direct the government not to pay foreign
governments to house military prisoners. We own Guantanamo; keep the prisoners
in that facility. Let the President back off his silly political statement.
8. This Court should terminate all funds to ACORN, a private company. Further,
ACORN should be stopped from being involved in the national census effort
because of their aforementioned federal lawsuits. A total ACORN financial
examination should be ordered to account for the use of public funds.
9. This Court should terminate by order or injunction the President's practice of
introducing complicated legislation without allowing sufficient time for Congress to
read, study, and inquire into such legislation.

In the final analysis, if, in the sound judgment of this Court it is too late to undo some of
the President's overreaching, the following admonition is urged:
Mr. President, the United States of America is a Republic, all power
is in the people. Government is divided into three equal branches: the
executive, legislative and judicial, whose powers are specifically delivered
and limited.
You have been elected President, and Chief Executive, do not

presume to be King.
