U.S. GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION & COVERUPS
"Decency, security and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law; it invites every man to come a law unto himself. It invites anarchy." (United States v. Olmstead, 277 U.S. 438 (1928).
"There is no crueler tyranny than that which is exercised under cover of law, and with the colors of justice ..."
- U.S. v. Jannotti, 673 F.2d 578, 614 (3d Cir. 1982)

Collect Millions Reporting Fraud
-
Those who report a false claim against the federal government, and suffer adverse employment actions as a result, may have up to six years (depending on state law) to file a civil suit for remedies under the U.S. False Claims Act (FCA). 31 U.S.C. § 3730(h). Under a "qui tam" provision, the "original source" for the report may be entitled to a percentage of what the government recovers from the offenders. However, the "original source" must also be the first to file a federal civil complaint for recovery of the federal funds fraudulently obtained, and must avoid publicizing the claim of fraud until the U.S. Justice Department decides whether to prosecute the claim itself. Such "qui tam" lawsuits must be filed under seal, using special procedures to keep the claim from becoming public until the federal government makes its decision on direct prosecution.

GOVERNMENT/POLICE ENTRAPMENT
In many cases, the federal government and police seek to target activist and protestors for political activities protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Federal agents and police try to provolk, entice, lure, and induce a target into the commission of a crime so that it can prosecute and put the person in prison to chill and silence Freedom and Speech. For example, a continuous stream of harassment is an effort to try and provolk, entice, lure and induce the activsit into a threat so that the government can presecute and put the target in jail to disrupt political activities. This is known as ENTRAPMENT !!!

ATTENTION LAWYERS AND ACTIVIST
The Ethics in Government Act 28 U.S.C. 591 requires the Attorney General - Eric Holder to conduct a preliminary investigation upon recieving information that a covered federal offical has committed a violation of law. Once the Attorney General conducts the preliminary investigaton he must either request appointment of a special prosecutor or notify a special court created by the Act that no further investigation or prosecution is warranted.
In the past, complaints have been filed against the President, Secretary of State, and others with claims of violations of the law. This is a valuable legal tool to hold the Executive Branch accountable for its illegal activities with federal court oversight and review such as Obama knowing making false statements to the public in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 1001, or the illegal wiretapping by the NSA or illegal activities by the FBI.
If the Attorney General Eric Holder refuses to conduct a preliminary investigation parties can file suit stating the Attorney General violated the Ethics Act when he refuses to conduct an investigation into a Executive Branch officials illegal conduct seeking the Court to compel investigation. Here is a case where the Court ORDERED the Attorney General to conduct a preliminary investigation into past Executive Branch officals violating federal law and the court ordering the Attorney General to conduct an investigation into the claims of the parties:
http://dc.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19830527_0000105.DDC.htm/qx
This federal law 18 U.S.C. 1001: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1001 clearly states that President Obama and his Executive Branch officials cannot knowingly make false statements or coverup political mistakes to the public in his Administration. President Obama and his Executive Branch Officals do NOT apply the law to themselves. It is the duty of Congress and We the People to file in federal court to compel the Attorney General to investigation Executive Branch lies or false statements to the public and all the illegal acts by the Executive Branch agencies and its officials to hold them accountable for violations of law. The Ethics in Government Act is a legal tool to keep the checks and balances in the government in accordance with the United States Constitution.

ACLU: UNCONSTITUTIONAL PATRIOT ACT
"An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; 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, 118, US 425 p. 442
***********CONGRESS DID NOT READ THE PATRIOT ACT BEFORE THEY VOTED ON IT ! ! !**********
Some of the provisions of the Patriot Act have already been ruled unconstituional in several federal courts. Since Congress did NOT read the Patriot Act before they signed it- it makes the Patriot Act illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional and cannot be enforce if challeneged in federal court. Government agents are abusing the Patriot Act for non-terrorism purposes. WATCH SHOCKING DOCUMENTARY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR6qH_wZgEg

Marbury v. Madison
Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137, 2 L. Ed. 60 (1803), established the power of judicial review in the U.S. Supreme Court. This power, which was later extended to all federal courts, authorizes the federal judiciary to review laws enacted by Congress and the president and to invalidate those that violate the Constitution. For Marshall, the idea that an unconstitutional act of legislature could "bind the courts and oblige them to give it effect" was "an absurdity too gross to be insisted on." Thus, Marshall concluded that congressional legislation contrary to the federal Constitution is null and void and cannot be enforced by a court of law.
"The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of it's enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it." -- 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec. 177, late 2d, Sec 256
