The Jefferson Messenger Edition 9 . May 13, 2017 . Volume 1 CALIFORNIA



YOU'VE BEEN SERVED!

This is the day we have all been waiting for. The court case by Citizens for Fair Representation v. Secretary of State Alex Padilla has been filed online, personally served and copies hand delivered to the Federal Court and CA Attorney General this week. We plan to give a courtesy copy to Governor Jerry Brown. The gloves are off and the fight to liberate ourselves from the tyranny of California has just begun. We not only have their attention, we have them rattled. Everyone needs to join us; we are going to the State Capitol to celebrate! Get your friends, neighbors and relatives to stand up for Liberty! To get nationwide coverage we need THOUSANDS to show up with Jefferson gear, signs and Jefferson and American flags.



If you are a working Jeffersonian, please take the time off to help us rock the socialist boat in Sacramento. Our huge rally and celebration will take place on the West steps of the State Capitol, on Wednesday, May 31st . We will gather at 10 AM and will have a program from 11 AM – 1 PM . Joining us will be Mark Baird, the initiator of the 2013 efforts to separate from this overrun, out of control state, and a host of other speakers who dedicated their time and treasure in this effort.



The El Dorado County Jefferson Committee is planning to charter buses. We will meet at the Safeway/McDonald's parking lot, on Coach Lane, in Cameron Park. The cost for a roundtrip seat on a 50+ passenger bus, is $25 per person. Start boarding the bus at 8:30 AM with a 9:00 AM time of departure. On return, start boarding the bus shortly after 1:00 PM with a 1:30 PM time of departure.



To secure these buses, we must put a deposit down within 5 days . Those who wish to ride the bus and celebrate this great day with your fellow El Dorado County Jeffersonians, please reserve your seat(s) now! For more information or to reserve your seat, please contact Terry Gherardi: liberty_x@sbcglobal.net or 530-677-4294. You may also contact, Sharon Durst: sharondurst@gmail.com or 530-647-1909 no later than this Tuesday May 16th. We will confirm the bus reservation and issue the deposit on Wednesday, May 17th .





Jefferson or Bust



Jeffersonians from all 21 counties are expected to attend. Mark Baird would love to see 10,000 in attendance, which would offer some pretty great photo opportunities for the media. It's time to see a rally lining the area around the capitol with a conservative message. This is all about Representation and rural counties having a voice in Sacramento and across our nation. We are standing up for our rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution.



Siskiyou County has contacted a bus company in Medford. They will need 55 people in order to make the it affordable for their folks. Other counties are making arrangements as well. Please contact your County Committee on the SOJ51.org website for local charter bus coordination.



We encourage you to bring home made signs, but we do have fantastic yard-size Jefferson signs available. Important: Signs/flags must be on wood posts/poles only. To get one of these signs, or any Jefferson gear, hats, shirts, flags etc. contact Doug Roscoe: cobblestone.doug@gmail.com or 916-337-7789. Be sure to wear your Jefferson gear, have a sign to carry, and bring along Jefferson and American flags. We know that many of you can come up with some great messages for your homemade signs. PLEASE REGISTER

Organizers would like everyone to Register (FREE), to determine how many to expect. Registration takes less than a minute.



Please keep watching your emails from your local committees and from the Jefferson Messenger. God Bless America and the State of Jefferson. WHATS HAPPENING? Young People Unite

In our quest for Liberty and personal freedoms, we constantly meet young people who are aware that California is going in the wrong direction. Most of these people are constitutionally minded and are more informed than one would expect.



Young people are invited to join together for meeting in Lincoln, Placer County, The purpose of this gathering is to have the young people unite for Liberty and learning about the state split.



These young people have the power and the will to change their lives and the lives of everyone in the North State. Young people are the generation that we need to rely on to not only continue this cause but to secure Liberty for generations to come. Please encourage the young people that you know about this meeting.

We are all in this together. None of this would have happened without the thousands of people working together for Liberty. Mark Baird

My favorite quote and a philosophy for life has for many decades been:

"Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism." This is commonly attributed to Abraham Lincoln or Shearson Lehman



For all of those who have and still are pushing the load uphill:



"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." Samuel Adams, 1776

God Bless all of you who are steadfastly committed to staying the course for Liberty, for Freedom. Judith Mathat FEATURED COUNTY UPDATES Save the Date:

New Look - Professional Feel

Many have asked for a more professional look and feel for our website and we heard you loud and clear. There was a “bounty” out there for many months for someone to create a new look that would graduate us from “movement” to “formation”. Well,

Many have asked for a more professional look and feel for our website and we heard you loud and clear. There was a “bounty” out there for many months for someone to create a new look that would graduate us from “movement” to “formation”. Well, Dauntless Communications did it! In consultation with members from the Placer County Committee, Mike McCrone and Eric Eisenhammer created the stunning site available to you today. It was “born” on April 13th in recognition of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday. Much of the information is the same, but there are some important additions. In particular, the site includes a section on the Citizens for Fair Representation that is the dba (doing business as) name for our 501c4 State of Jefferson Formation. This name will be associated with our recently served lawsuit dealing with representation and dilution of vote. Also on this page, you can find our complete set of 501c4 paperwork so if you have an SoJ event that requires you be a charity for special consideration, you’ll have it readily available. This should also help with donations for opportunity drawings where the merchant wants proof of your 501c standing.



For those of you scheduling special events or regular county meetings, just go to the “Contact Us” tab and send us the particulars of date, time, duration, location and if it is a recurring meeting (3rd Thursday or each Tuesday, etc.) This information goes to the website maintenance team and they will put up your event on the SoJ calendar within 24 hours. On the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, we have our all-hands teleconference. Just go to the calendar, click on the event to show the details and get the phone number, access code and the link to the chat room. org anization”, this is actually a better fit!



Oh, and about the new site name. In order to create the new site in parallel with the old one, we did the development using SoJ51.org . On the 13th, we just redirected all the traffic from the old .net site to the new .org site. Don’t worry about any of the printed material as all addresses now point to the .org site automatically. Since we are an “anization”, this is actually a better fit! Standing County Committee Meetings
