Note: The eighteen volumes presented in this online collection cover the laws of the first forty-three Congresses, 1789-1875. Statutes at Large

The United States Statutes at Large, commonly referred to as the Statutes at Large, is the official source for the laws and resolutions passed by Congress. Publication began in 1845 by the private firm of Little, Brown and Company under authority granted by a joint resolution of Congress. In 1874, Congress transferred the authority to publish the Statutes at Large to the Government Printing Office, which has been responsible for producing the set since that time.

Every law, public and private, ever enacted by the Congress is published in the Statutes at Large in order of the date of its passage. Until 1948, all treaties and international agreements approved by the Senate were also published in the set. In addition, the Statutes at Large includes the text of the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, amendments to the Constitution, treaties with Indians and foreign nations, and presidential proclamations.


We now have the complete set of U.S. Statutes at large from 1789 through
2007 online at http://www.constitution.org/uslaw/sal/sal.htm

.* The
files are PDF image-over-text and searchable. We have a local search
form on the page that will enable search through the entire set once
Google indexes it. To the best of our knowledge they are not available
anywhere else online, either on a government site or a university site.

Thanks for production and OCR of the PDF files is due to lawyer and
scholar Larry Becraft of Huntsville, Alabama.

* A little clean-up work remains on this page. We will add the 2008
Statutes at Large as soon as they are available. Note that Vols. 6-8 are
not a gap in the statutes, only in the volume numbering.

    DrOrlyTV
    Dr. Orly's YouTube ChannelMonday, December 29, 2008 Open letter to Member of Congress URGENT REQUEST FOR ACTION – TO PRESERVE OUR CONSTITUTION

    Dear Member of the U.S. Congress;

    On January 8th, 2009, you will be meeting in a joint session of Congress in order to perform the final step of COUNTING and CONFIRMING the electoral votes for the President of the United States (POTUS).

    This urgent letter is a request by your (and Mr. Obama’s) employers, We The People, for you to submit an OBJECTION to those votes being counted due to the Constitutional INELIGIBILITY of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. to serve as POTUS:

    1. No proof that he was born on U.S. sovereign territory, as required by Article II of the U.S. Constitution (the posting of his forged & fraudulent Certification of Live Birth (C.O.L.B.) only proves fraud – and that he’s INELIGIBLE;

    2. No proof that he ever applied for U.S. citizenship, when reaching the age of majority, following his years as a citizen of Indonesia (this would make him ‘naturalized’, and therefore INELIGIBLE);

    3. No proof that he was born of two parents of U.S. citizenship, with both owing allegiance to and being under the jurisdiction of the U.S., as required by law and/or the Constitution, in order to be a ‘natural-born citizen’. (actually he has freely admitted the opposite to be true, and therefore INELIGIBLE);

    4. No proof that he was authorized, as a ‘natural-born U.S. citizen’ with a U.S. Passport, to travel to Pakistan in 1981 (he could not by law), or that he re-applied for ‘naturalized’ U.S. citizenship on his return, which would also make him INELIGIBLE;

    5. No certified proof that he registered for the draft/Selective Service between the ages of 18 and 26, as required by law, thereby rendering him ineligible, by law, for employment in the Executive Branch of our government, and therefore INELIGIBLE for POTUS. (NOTE: over a year of multiple FOIA requests produced a forged and blatantly fraudulent Selective Service Registration form that should be cause for indictments and arrests);

    6. No proof that he is, in fact, not an illegal alien, and therefore subject to the same penalties that would befall all illegal aliens in his situation. Therefore, INELIGIBLE;

    Constructive Knowledge would inform and confirm to all who have examined the facts of this collossal fraud being perpetrated upon We The People of America (see www.DrOrly.Blogspot.com – ‘Open Letter to C.J. Roberts’) that confirming the electoral votes and thereby furthering the act of installing Mr. Obama as POTUS could possibly be construed as failure to honor one’s oath of office.

    Therefore, we are calling on you, as a member of Congress, sworn to uphold, protect, and defend that Constitution, to OBJECT to the counting and confirmation of those electoral votes until proof of his eligibility or ineligibility can be determined, and to call for indictments in regard to any and all alleged violations of U.S. laws and one’s sworn oath.

    Please let us know if you intend to stand with We The People in this epic battle to defend and preserve our Constitution. Our Nation can survive four years of any President. It cannot survive without a Constitution.


    Sincerely;

    We The People of the United States of America

    Ann Coulter: Liberals are hoodwinking youSharon is not a Liar or Lawyer, Loves reading legal Constitutional Briefs, specifically US Supreme CourtBerg files new challenge to eligibilitynow titled Gregory S. Hollister  with standing to follow any order of Soetoro aka Obama?

    Philip Berg's earlier case and a request for an injunction in the case are scheduled for conferences with the justices on Jan. 9 and Jan. 16.

    The new case, filed with co-counsel Lawrence J. Joyce, was submitted to U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., and names as defendant "Barry Soetoro a/k/a Obama."

    It demands to know Obama's real name and his constitutional qualifications to occupy the Oval Office. The plaintiff is Gregory S. Hollister, a resident of Colorado Springs, who has "standing" and "needs a decision so he knows whether or not to follow any order of Soetoro a/k/a Obama."

    WOLLMAN, Circuit Judge.

    1Judge Joan N. Ericksen, United States District Judge for the District of

    Minnesota.

    -2-

    Sixteen individual investors (Investors) appeal the district court’s1 grant of

    summary judgment in favor of Cadwell Campbell, Rowland Day, and Day &

    Campbell, L.L.P. (collectively, Defendants). We affirm.

    I.

    On July 16, 1992, Day sent a “Dear Potential Investor” letter to the Investors,

    enclosing the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (CSPA) for International Gaming

    Management (IGM), business documents related to IGM, an Investor Suitability

    Questionnaire, and the signature page for the CSPA. The letter explained the

    documents and the income/net worth requirements for investing in IGM. The letter

    specifically noted that the investment was “a high risk investment” and that “each

    investor could lose the entire amount of his investment.” Each Investor complied with

    the letter’s requirements and purchased a minimum of 20,000 shares of IGM for $1.50

    each.

    As explained in Day’s letter, the shares purchased by the Investors under the

    CSPA were not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and

    would not be freely tradeable until so registered. Day explained that under SEC Rule

    144, the Investors typically would have to hold the shares for two years before

    attempting to sell the stock, but that he had negotiated with IGM to allow his law firm,

    Day & Campbell, to immediately register the stock on behalf of the Investors. This

    would allow the Investors to sell prior to the expiration of the two-year period. Day

    stated that “[t]he registration process could take approximately 180 days to be

    completed.” The Investors were also permitted to sell their shares prior to registration

    by complying with the requirements of the CSPA and SEC Regulation S. Regulation

    S would likely result in a significantly discounted price and would require the

    -3-

    potential seller to obtain an opinion of counsel that the sale was exempt from

    registration requirements.

    Day was unable to register the shares as promised. On April 30, 1993, IGM

    asked its outside counsel, Dorsey & Whitney, to prepare a registration statement. On

    July 15, 1993, IGM’s president wrote to all CSPA investors, advising them that the

    registration statement had been filed and that IGM expected the stock to become

    freely tradeable within forty to ninety days. The SEC, however, did not accept IGM’s

    registration statement, following which IGM eventually abandoned its efforts to

    register the CSPA stock because the two-year holding period under Rule 144 was

    nearing expiration.

    Meanwhile, Day negotiated an agreement with IGM on behalf of the CSPA

    investors. Pursuant to this agreement, IGM would waive certain provisions of the

    CSPA, thereby removing some of the impediments to complete a Regulation S sale.

    Day & Campbell did not advise any of the CSPA investors of this waiver, and

    although Day claims to have verbally communicated the waiver’s existence to two of

    the Investors, both deny such communication. On the day that the waiver went into

    effect, July 2, 1993, Day attempted to sell 200,000 CSPA shares. The sale was not

    completed, however, because Dorsey & Whitney refused to provide the necessary

    opinion of counsel. The law firm permitted Day to seek the opinion from other

    counsel, but Day made no effort to do so.

    During the time that Dorsey & Whitney attempted to register the shares and

    Day negotiated the waiver, IGM’s share price was at its highest level, trading at

    approximately $10 per share. By early 1994, however, IGM was in significant

    financial distress. On July 28, 1994, federal and state authorities executed a search

    warrant and seized documents from IGM’s office pursuant to a criminal investigation

    of several IGM executives. The following day, share prices for IGM dropped

    substantially, leading to the suspension of trading of IGM stock. IGM later failed,

    rendering its stock worthless.

    2Mark Kallenbach is the Investors’ counsel and was an officer and member of

    the board of directors of IGM until 1992. After IGM failed in 1994, Kallenbach was

    appointed to IGM’s board and attempted to salvage parts of IGM’s business.

    -4-

    In 2000, the government returned all of IGM’s seized documents to Mark

    Kallenbach,2 who was involved in litigation against IGM executives. While reviewing

    the documents in connection with that litigation, Kallenbach discovered the waiver.

    Kallenbach sued Defendants based on the undisclosed waiver on behalf of himself and

    his wife. His case was settled in 2003.

    Eleven years after the failure of IGM and after settling his own suit against

    Defendants, Mark Kallenbach wrote to the Investors about potential claims that they

    may have against Campbell and Day based on the undisclosed waiver. Nineteen

    CSPA investors responded to Kallenbach’s letter and in March 2006 filed suit in

    Minnesota state court against Campbell and Day and their law firm for breach of

    fiduciary duty, negligent omission, attorney malpractice, and front running.

    Defendants removed the case to federal court on the basis of diversity jurisdiction.

    Two Investors dismissed their claims after acknowledging that they had signed a

    release in favor of Day & Campbell in the settlement of a related case, and one

    Investor dropped out of the case. The remaining sixteen Investors filed cross-motions

    for summary judgment.

    The district court denied the Investors’ motion for summary judgment and

    granted Defendants’ motion, holding that the statute of limitations on the Investors’

    claims had expired and equitable tolling was not warranted as a matter of law. The

    court also concluded that the Investors had not presented sufficient evidence that

    Defendants’ failure to inform them of the waiver was a proximate cause of their

    investment losses. It is from this judgment that the Investors now appeal.

    -5-

    II.

    The Investors concede that the six-year statute of limitations under Minnesota

    Statute § 541.05 has expired. They argue, however, that the period should be tolled

    because Defendants fraudulently concealed the waiver. Additionally, they argue that

    there was sufficient evidence to survive summary judgment that the concealment was

    the proximate cause of their losses.

    We review the district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo. Barry v.

    Barry, 78 F.3d 375, 379 (8th Cir. 1996). Summary judgment is appropriate if the

    evidence on file “show[s] that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that

    the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). The

    movant bears the burden of making this showing. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S.

    317, 323 (1986). The party opposing the motion “must set forth specific facts

    showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.” Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477

    U.S. 242, 256 (1986). Although the evidence must be viewed in the light most

    favorable to the nonmovant, id. at 255, mere speculation is not enough to avoid

    summary judgment. Gregory v. Rogers, 974 F.2d 1006, 1010 (8th Cir. 1992).

    A.

    The Investors have not shown that they exercised reasonable diligence

    warranting equitable tolling of the statute of limitations period. Minnesota does not

    apply a discovery rule to any of the Investor’s claims, but rather applies “the damage

    rule of accrual, under which the cause of action accrues and the statute of limitations

    begins to run when some damage has occurred as a result of the alleged malpractice.”

    Antone v. Mirviss, 720 N.W.2d 331, 335-36 (Minn. 2006) (citing Herrmann v.

    McMenomy & Severson, 590 N.W.2d 641, 643 (Minn. 1999)) (internal quotations

    omitted). Because the Investors suffered their financial loss in July 1994, the statute

    of limitations began to run at this time.

    -6-

    Minnesota does, however, apply the discovery rule to allegations of fraud.

    Barry, 78 F.3d at 379-80. For fraud claims, “the six year limitations period begins to

    run when a plaintiff knew or should have known of the fraud.” Id. In such cases,

    “the plaintiff bears the burden of proving that she could not, through reasonable

    diligence, have discovered the facts constituting the fraud until within six years of the

    commencement of the action.” Id. at 380 (citing Blegen v. Monarch Life Ins. Co., 365

    N.W.2d 356, 357 (Minn. Ct. App. 1985). Further, fraudulent concealment of

    information material to a non-fraud claim will toll a limitations period. Cohen v.

    Appert, 463 N.W.2d 787, 790 (Minn. Ct. App. 1990). Likewise, the doctrine of

    fraudulent concealment “only tolls the limitations period until the concealment is or

    could have been discovered through reasonable diligence.” Id. at 790-91 (citing Wild

    v. Rarig, 234 N.W.2d 775, 795 (Minn. 1975)). The party relying on the doctrine must

    show that its own negligence did not contribute to the delay in discovery. Cohen, 463

    N.W.2d at 791.

    Following IGM’s collapse in July 1994, the Investors made no effort to obtain

    the documents seized by the government to investigate the reason for IGM’s failure.

    The Investors simply state that they could not have discovered the waiver because it

    was in government custody. The record shows, however, that access was granted to

    Daniel T. Zacharias after he explained that he hoped to rehabilitate IGM. Although

    Zacharias’s access was limited because the government was preparing its case, there

    is no indication that the government would have denied access to the Investors or that

    it would not have provided the documents upon completion of its case. The Investors

    knew that Defendants failed to register their shares as promised and that this prevented

    them from selling their shares for a profit. They also knew that something was

    drastically wrong when the FBI raided IGM. Yet, the Investors sought no recourse

    from Defendants. Following the complete loss of their investment in IGM, the

    Investors have largely lost or discarded their documents relating to their investment

    and have written off the losses they incurred.

    -7-

    As the district court noted, it appears that the Investors gave no thought to IGM

    until an attorney’s solicitation letter touting a previous success arrived eleven years

    after the loss. The record reflects indifference and opportunism rather than reasonable

    diligence. “Statutes of limitation serve a general purpose of repose, the interest of

    both the defendant and society in freedom from stale claims.” Bartlett v. Miller &

    Schroeder Muns., Inc., 355 N.W.2d 435, 439 (Minn. App. 1984). The interests of

    justice do not require the tolling of the limitations period in this instance. See id.

    B.

    Additionally, the Investors “have failed to present specific facts giving rise to

    a genuine issue for trial as to the causal connection” between their losses and the

    nondisclosure of the waiver. Lubbers v. Anderson, 539 N.W.2d 398, 401 (Minn.

    1995). Although proximate cause is generally a fact question for the jury, “where

    reasonable minds can arrive at only one conclusion, proximate cause is a question of

    law.” Lubbers, 539 N.W.2d at 402 (quoting Warnick v. Moss & Barnett, 490 N.W.2d

    108, 113 (Minn. 1993)). The Investors’ proximate cause argument rests on the bald

    assertion that they would have sold their shares if they had known of the waiver. That

    one can look back with the knowledge of fluctuating stock prices and the impending

    failure of the company and say that he would have sold at a particular time is simply

    too self-serving and speculative to form the foundation of a causal connection. The

    record, including the Investor’s expert testimony, does “nothing more than show a

    mere possibility, suspicion, or conjecture that such a causal connection exists, without

    any foundation for the exclusion of other admittedly possible causes,” and thus

    “provides no proper foundation for a finding of a causal connection.” Bernloehr v.

    Central Livestock Order Buying Co., 208 N.W.2d 753, 755 (Minn. 1973).

    The Investors’ claims do not merit equitable tolling and the Investors have

    failed to present sufficient evidence of causation. Accordingly, the district court’s

    judgment is affirmed.

    Alliance for a Better Minnesota Asks Coleman to Refund Toussie Funds

    Bush Recanted Planned Pardon of Swindler,
    Father Maxed Out to Coleman Re-Election

    Saint Paul, Minn. -- Alliance for a Better Minnesota (ABM) a grassroots lobbying and online organizing group that works with progressive groups, requested today that U.S. Senator Norm Coleman refund the $4,600 his campaign received from Robert Toussie, the father of convicted swindler Isaac R. Toussie who ran a scheme funneling funds from working-class homeowners in New York state, and his wife. Both father and son were named in a class action suit filed on behalf of homeowners who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    Isaac Toussie has entered the news lately because he is the only person in recent history known to have been pardoned by a President -- and then un-pardoned. News reports indicate that President Bush decided against the recommendation to pardon Isaac Toussie when the severity of his crimes came to light.

    “At a time when most people are trying to hold on to everything they have, we need our elected officials to take our side,” said Denise Cardinal, Executive Director of Alliance for a Better Minnesota. “Clearly, the Toussie family is not on the side of working Americans, and the funds donated to Senator Coleman from Robert Toussie may have come from questionable sources. We’re asking the Senator to return those funds.”

    The news about Toussie’s donation to Coleman comes on the heels of other news reports state that Coleman will be using funds raised for his re-election campaign to pay for legal fees associated with a reported ongoing FBI investigation and lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in Texas, states that Coleman’s friend Nasser Kazeminy funneled $75,000 to Coleman through the Senator’s wife. ABM has asked the FEC to look into the matter.

    Copies of the letter ABM sent to the Senator’s office and the FEC can be found at: www.allianceminnesota.org

    ABM is also providing Minnesotans the chance to sign a petition to show the FBI and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics support for the investigation by visiting: http://pnmn.bluestatedigital.com/page/petition/Investigatenorm

    St. Paul, MN 55114

    To Senator Norm Coleman:

    It has recently been reported that your campaign has received $4,600 from Robert Toussie and his wife in contributions.

    Recent news reports of the Toussie family’s involvement in a housing scheme that swindled hundreds of thousands of dollars from hard-working people in New York state has brought the campaign contributions into question.

    Other news reports from last week show President Bush took the unprecedented move of rescinding a pardon for Isaac Toussie, Robert’s son, because the crimes were so onerous.

    With these revelations, we respectfully ask you to return the campaign contributions made by the Toussie family to your reelection effort.

    Thank you,

    Denise Cardinal

    Saxhaug to serve as outreach ambassador

    Minnesota State Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller, DFL-Minneapolis, last week announced the appointments of Lester Bensch, Michael Kilgore, Sen. Ellen Anderson, DFL-St. Paul, and Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen, GOP-Alexandria, to the Lessard Outdoor Heritage Council.

    The 12 member council will recommend how to use the newly created Outdoor Heritage Fund, a constitutionally dedicated revenue source to be used to benefit Minnesota’s outdoors. The council met for the first time Monday, and will provide guidance and recommendations to the Legislature.
    The Outdoor Heritage Fund and Council were created by the passage of the "The Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment” in November.

    The council is named in honor of former state Senator Bob Lessard, DFL-International Falls, who championed the issue during his time at the legislature and after he left in 2002. The council will examine projects throughout the state and provide its recommendations to the legislature by April 1.
    In addition to the members named to the council, Sen. Majority Leader Pogemiller has designated two Senators as outreach ambassadors to communities with interest: Sen. Satveer Chaudhary, DFL-Fridley, for hunting and fishing, and Sen. Tom Saxhaug, DFL-Grand Rapids, for forestry.

    St. Paul / Suits brought by landlords dismissedPioneer PressSt. Paul / Suits brought by landlords dismissed - TwinCities.com
    Article Last Updated: 12/20/2008 01:38:50 AM CST

    A federal judge dismissed a series of long-standing lawsuits against the city of St. Paul, brought by a group of landlords who claimed they were discriminated against because they rented to "protected classes," particularly minorities.

    In a summary judgment, U.S. District Judge Joan Erickson dismissed three suits brought by 16 plaintiffs — identified as "current or former owners of rental properties" — who say they were targeted by the city when it began to enforce a more stringent housing code.

    They also alleged the city conducted unconstitutional searches of their properties, held their properties to a different standard than public housing and violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

    Erickson noted repeatedly that the plaintiffs did not provide adequate evidence to support their claims.

    Also named as defendants in the suit were more than a dozen individuals, including former Mayor Randy Kelly and officials with the Department of Neighborhood Housing and Property Improvement, including former director Andy Dawkins and supervisor Steve Magner.

    In what may be a world first, lawyers from Canberra law firm Meyer Vandenberg persuaded a judge in the Australian Capital Territory's Supreme Court to allow them to serve the documents over the internet after repeatedly failing to serve the papers in person.

    Lawyer Mark McCormack came up with the Facebook plan after it became clear that the couple did not want to be found.

    Carmel Rita Corbo and Gordon Poyser had failed to keep up repayments on a $150,000 (£44,000) loan they had borrowed from MKM Capital, a mortgage provider.

    The pair had ignored emails from the law firm and did not attend a court appearance on Oct 3. Mr McCormack said the pair had "vanished".
