History is in the making in Roosevelt County’s Ninth Judicial District Court.  A Constitutionally- authorized petition to convene a Citizens’ Grand Jury to investigate Governor Michelle Lujan-Grisham for actions resulting in Malfeasance in Office, Misfeasance in Office, Violation of Oath of Office and Maladministration will be filed today on behalf of Roosevelt County Citizens.  New Mexico is one of only six states where  citizens have retained this right within their state Constitution.  Citizen Grand Juries have been convened in Kansas and Oklahoma, but never before of this magnitude in New Mexico.

This action requires signatures from 2% of a county’s registered voters and was initiated by pro se legal expert, Larry Marker, and circulated and supported by the Roosevelt County Patriots. Although only one county is required to initiate this action, similar petitions are proceeding in 14 counties, soon to be in each of New Mexico’s 33 counties, assisted by local sponsors and volunteers.  Mr. Marker emphasizes the point that this is a movement of citizens using their legal options to take action to defend themselves and their Constitutional rights from illegal government overreach and abuse.

The petition states that the governor has executed an abuse of authority related to the numerous Constitutionally prohibited renewals of a public health emergency.   It further states that under guise of emergency authority, she ordered and authorized numerous illegal actions that included invasions of the Constitutionally protected rights of citizens of New Mexico.

This unprecedented legal action has the potential to require Governor Lujan-Grisham to appear in order to face charges in separate District Courts throughout the state.

           The citizens of Roosevelt Co showed overwhelming support of this petition.
