Rick Stanley, US Senate candidate, organizer/activist of the National Bill of Rights Rallies across America and the Million Gun March Petition Rally in Washington, D.C. on July 4, 2003, made the following statement to the media:

FREE LISL AUMAN

Lisl Auman has a hearing in front of a three judge panel of the State Court of Appeals on April 30, 2002.

Lisl Auman, 26, was wrongfully convicted of a law that violates her constitutional rights.  A law that convicted her by holding her responsible for a police officers’ death, when she was in custody, in handcuffs in the back of  a  police car.  The man, who killed the police officer, barely knew Lisl Auman, and was the driving force in the crime from the beginning.  Lisl Auman, is a young woman, who has been caught up in a whirlwind of mob rule to convict "someone", when the murderer was dead.  She has been in jail for five years now, since 1977.

Common sense would apply in this case if the politicians and judicial system had any to draw from, and there was a lick of justice in the legal system that America has been saddled with by an unconstitutional, unlawful and therefore illegal government.

The 8th Amendment to the Constitution does not allow for cruel and unusual punishment.  A federal Court of Appeals in Little Rock, Arkansas, recently, threw out the lifetime sentence of a man that had a conviction for possessing $20.00 of cocaine.  The same thinking and common sense approach should be used here.  This young woman is guilty of bad judgment, in having an unknown skinhead, help her get her belongings, from a roommate who didn’t want to cooperate.  How does bad judgement,  result  into a felony conviction, and a lifetime sentence?

Judges and legislators swear an oath to defend the Constitution.   If they don’t rule on constitutional issues, or when they make unconstitutional legislation; they are violating their sworn oath and become traitors to the very system, they swore to uphold.   Americans don’t understand these concepts, until it hits home, in a situation where one of our daughters gets caught up in an unconstitutional law, and goes to jail for life.  "An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no right, it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office, it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed."  Norton vs. Shelby County [188US 425p. 442]

Note may be made of the legal reference 16th American Jurisprudence 2d, Section 177, late 2d, Section 256 stating:  "No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it."

The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute though having the form and the name of the law is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose, since unconstitutionally dates from the time of it’s enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision, so branding it.

Marbury vs. Madison [5 US (2cranch) 137,174, 176, (1803)] wherein the Supreme Court stated that "All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."  I am calling on these justices of the court to immediately free Lisl Auman.  Obey the Constitution and obey Supreme Court rulings, which have NEVER been overturned.

I am calling on Governor Owens, should these justices fail in their sworn oath to defend the Constitution, and therefore defend the peoples’ rights, for the governor to commute Lisl Auman’s sentence, and free a daughter of Colorado.  This young woman is the child of all Colorado parents.  It could happen to your child.  Demand that an uncaring government and uncaring judicial system, defend their sworn oath and free Lisl Auman."
