Show Attorney Explains Arizona Lawsuit Against Clinton, Babbitt on New Monument KANAB Well over 100 Kan-ab Kan-ab residents and several people from Garfield County, most of them mem-bers of People For the USA, heard Phoenix, Ariz., Attorney Lana Marcussen explain the basics of the recent lawsuit filed by 16 Arizona residents and seven Arizona state representatives against President Presi-dent Bill Clinton and Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. The lawsuit against the Grand Canyon-Parashaunt Canyon-Parashaunt National Monument charges Clinton and Babbitt with depriving them of their Constitutional Constitu-tional rights. The case, which has now been released to discovery, is currently moving rapidly along in the U.S. District Court of Arizona, achieving achiev-ing in just over three days what the Utah Association of Counties has taken almost a year to accomplish in Utah's Federal District Court with its own similar case on the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Jim Tenney, executive director of the Center for Individual Rights and Constitutional Accountability (CIRCA), introduced Marcussen at the Saturday meeting held at Kanab's public library. Tenney also serves as state president of Arizona's PFUSA chapters. CIRCA is a legal foundation that fights to control the overreaching over-reaching of the federal government and to reestablish Constitutional law as the law of the land. CIRCA also holds educational seminars on "Accountability" and how to use accountability through recent Supreme Su-preme Court decisions to protect individual in-dividual rights. Marcussen is CIRCA' s lead attorney and is the author of the "Accountability Argument." For more than seven years she has been doing presentations on accountability accounta-bility as a means to place controls back on government. The U.S. Supreme Court has adopted the "Accountability Argument" and is calling it by name. They are using it in their effort to reestablish Federalism as the law of the land. Marcussen has also been a consultant con-sultant to Congress on how accountability ac-countability works. The American land Sovereignty Act is an example of work she did for Congress. She explains the historical chain of law that formed the nation all the way back to the beginnings of common law in the 1 4th century. At Saturday's meeting, PFUSA Utah State President Shauna Johnson John-son explained changes proposed for Zion National Park which would (See LAWSUIT on page 3-A) 1 LAWSUIT From Front Page increase its size, limit groups of users to five in certain areas of the park, and create wilderness-type areas.
