PROPOSAL

Procedure – Reigning In Corporations.

Draft 1

​

TO: EscaRosa Train Wreck Preppers

                SRC.US

From: Jim Costa

Date: Feb. 22, 2026

 

The Problem:

 

How can a new County Assembly reign in a giant corporation doing business in their county?

 

Facts & Assumptions:

 

A) County Assemblies and De Jure Grand Juries have not been used since
    1871 in the United States, under Common Law. A lot of their accepted
     practices have been forgotten or removed from our attention.

 

B) This Procedure is dependent on Proposal - Strategy For Assembly To
    Reign In Large Corporations. It suggests things to consider before taking
    up the task and helps vision the success of the effort.

 

C) The most important step is the Complaint itself. It would be preferable if
     made by one with research and knowledge of the problem, along with
     the passion to insure its success in creating change. Consider a
     co-complaintant if necessary to gain such a person.

 

     This person should seek out others who have had a go at attempting
     change on the same complaint, especially by another County
     Assembly in the U.S.

 

D) Understand the Zeitgeist that corporation is operating in at time of the        formal Complaint. Realize the possibility that the complaint may be the
    “straw that breaks the camel’s back”.

 

    Would the county be in a better place if that Corporation died
    completely rather than helping residents locate current product
    replacements elsewhere?

 

   Should we lose all the corporations products over just one product?

 

E) Recognize the Zeitgeist impact on the Corporation’s current Business
   plan.  Do they need your push or should you wait?

 

F) Understand and prioritize all successful outcomes available, leaving
   room for negotiation.

   Have a person/team assigned to approve negotiation.

​

G) Unanswered Question: Which comes first, the Complaint or the desire
    to complain?

 

H) Who should assign a level for expected time for successful resolution of
    an indictment?

    (Grand Jury, Complainant or Assigned Person/Team?)

 

Plan

 

1) Receive the Complaint when it is ready to be presented for action.

 

2) Convene a De Jure Grand Jury.

 

3) If indictment is awarded, consider allowing the jury to suggest variable
    remedys from a pick list.

    This optional step can save the county from polling residents for a
    recommendation.

 

4) Turn the indictment and recommendations over to the County Prosecutor
    for investigation and prosecution if warranted.

 

 

 

Costs  May require research costs.

         May require expert witnesses.

         May require surveying residents.

         May require future costs in sharing work products with
            other Assemblies.
