The time has come to awaken the public and it leaders to the reality that the reservation system is more than merely a failed government social program. It is now and always has been a crime against the American people, especially our Native Tribes, who had their ancestral lands confiscated during an unlawful insurrection, and never returned to them.
The following letter was emailed to me by the author. It was sent to the following government officials. It will be followed by a copy of Out of Bounds (www.icgpa.org). Here is the list of recipients: Governor Jan Brewer (R-AZ), Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne (R-AZ), Senator Lori Klein (R-AZ 6th) and Representative Amanda A. Reeve (R-AZ 6th), along with Representative Carl Seel (R-AZ 6th).
Feel free to join in the email campaign to help awaken the slumbering leadership that the time has come to deal with these government owned and operated crime sanctuaries, which are victimizing the taxpayers and have enslaved the Native American tribes. Many are held in abject third world poverty. Yet, the BIA maintains that their rogue government agency is lawfully outside the reach of bona fide taxpayer funded policing agencies and state tax collectors. At best this represents gross malfeasance by the political leadership. Judge Harold Lee —Convict at Large

Chapter III
A Matter of Honor
Battle to Win Private Property Rights for Native Tribes is the White Man’s Fight!
(The following is not a farfetched legal theory. It is an easily verifiable set of historical facts)
The U. S. Government’s reservation system was born of a government plot to create a safe haven for criminal acts beyond the reach of the Constitution and the statutory laws of the American people. The State-Tribal Gambling Compact, along with the Department of Interior’s Indian Reservation System are both the result of criminal actions by government officials, along with other conspirators and dupes. Together, they have successfully plotted to skirt the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, as well as Arizona statutory law.
In fact, the entire Bureau of Indian Affairs’ reservation system is flotsam left in the wake of a violent and unrequited political coup d’état that was executed over the Judicial Department of the body politic by the Executive and Congressional branches of the Government. Therefore, any and all legal precedents which have sustained that violent armed rebellion must eventually be deemed null and void. Andrew Jackson’s insurgency was not a peaceful one by any means.

Preamble
For those of you that have not heard: I was convicted on all three felony counts sought by the Arizona Department of Gaming. I faced a maximum sentence of 18 years imprisonment. I received a sentence of one year of unsupervised probation and no fine. However, to those folks suggesting that my light sentence mocks or belittles American jurisprudence. To the contrary; it merely offers evidence that the system still has the ability to be equitable, even when it is being misused or abused.
After having been forced by the State, to squander eight days of his trial calendar, for a case that should have been adjudicated in a civil proceeding a half a decade earlier, the Judge apparently had seen enough. He did the only thing he could ethically do to register his frustration and contempt at the wanton waste of Court’s time and resources; he granted one year unsupervised probation to a thrice convicted felon.
He certainly could not have done what a contemporary of mine did way back in the seventies. My former associate was a JP in small community north of Phoenix. The former cop, turned Justice of the Peace who in his spare time lifted weights, became enraged at a litigant for some perceived offense to the dignity of his Court, which I can no longer recall. To express his displeasure at the offending party, his Honor flew off the bench grabbed the aberrant party and tossed him across the room into a wall. He then ordered that the man be taken to jail for contempt! In my humble opinion; the trial Judge in State vs. Lee had far greater provocation for intemperate behavior. Read more
My apologies to former Arizona Governor Fife Symington, whose leadership I have often derided. I only recently disovered that the Governor refused to follow the command of Congress and negotiate in “good faith” with the outlawed gambling industry. Obviously, the former Governor supports the same legal theory that we have been petitioning the government to redress for the last few years.
Petitioners contend that Congress exceeds its power and authority, and directly impinges on the civil rights of Arizona voters on and off of the government reservation system, by demanding that the people of Arizona provide refuge and open our mainstream market to felonious behavior. The former Governor was certainly cognizant that the slot-machine industry had recently been overwhelmingly rejected by Arizona voters.
Congress, along with the enthusiastic support of the mainstream media, have forsaken the rule of law and the voters of Arizona, in order to lure tourist into the gambling syndicate banished casinos. They have been joined in their irresponsible behavior by professional sports franchises, along with many mainstream business enterprises. Admittedly, most of us are blindly following uninformed political leadership, who are unwilling to rock the boat.
The too cozy relationship existing between the free press and the banished gambling syndicate is particularly disconcerting. They have become dangeroulsy symbotic. The local media not only lack objectivity; they have taken sides against professional poker players in their battle with the reservation poker parlor operators over who has the right to regulate the sport of Poker, the players or the gambling industry?.

This is one of many 1st Amendment Petitions I have proffered to state enforcement authorities. This particular one is simply to remind authorities that Arizona poker players served a petition directly to Arizona’s Chief Law Enforcement Officer in May of 2005; pursuant to our civil right to demand that the State redress our grievances.
Among our demands was that the State recognize that existing Arizona law allows for the sport of Poker to self-regulate and open off-reservation poker rooms. The ACL Membership submitted an uncontested legal opinion asserting the right to defend the sport from the international gambling cartel’s rigged slot-machine Empire. Only one government entity has ever denied our right to petition the government: The Arizona Department of Gaming (DoG) whose badges are soiled by the proceeds of that banished industry.
Please read and consider the following, it is simply the truth:
The international sport of poker is not bound by the State gambling Statute. Read more
