Monday, March 7, 2011 – Seminole County, Florida.
Today FIJA activists Cory Chenard, Mark Schmidter and James Cox attended the Seminole County Courthouse near Sanford, Florida.
This merry band of peaceful men distributed educational material on Jury Rights to people entering and exiting the courthouse. The brochures were excepted by about 90% of the people, and the people said thank you for the information.
This morning the group had one encounter with a female police officer who came out from the courthouse to find out what the groups was doing. 
Schmidter and Cox explained to the officer, that they were educating citizens about their rights when they serve on a jury. They explained that jury nullification is the right to refuse to enforce bad laws and bad prosecutions. Cox went on to say “When someone serves on a jury, they should judge the facts of the case and the law itself.” The female officer asked if she could get a brochure, which Schmidter handed to her, and with that she went back inside the courthouse.
Today the group distributed approximately 300 brochures.
Mark Schmidter At The Seminole County Courthouse
This morning Mark Schmidter and I took a drive out to the Seminole, Criminal Justice Center at: 101 Bush Boulevard Sanford, FL 32773.
It was a beautiful day, clear blue sky, the sun was shining with a cool breeze.
There were plenty of people heading into the courthouse, so we got our brochures together and started handing them out to everyone going in and out of the courthouse.
At least 90% of the people going into the courthouse took the brochures from us, and they looked happy when they received the Your Jury Rights: True or False brochure.
Between us we passed out approximately 400 brochures at the courthouse.
Later I headed into downtown Orlando to hand out brochures at Wall Street and Orange. There’s a lot of people here, especially at lunch time. At this location I handed out approximately 200 brochures.
All in all a good day for FIJA outreach. 
John Kurtz FIJA Coordinator Orlando
On Thursday, October 21, 2010 I had to take a trip out to Orlando, Florida to deliver FIJA brochures to John Kurtz, the coordinator for the Orlando area.
I set off from Clearwater at 4:30AM to make sure that the brochures were at the Orange County Court House, 415 N. Orange Ave Orlando Florida, by 7AM.
I arrived in good time and met John and we went to work distributing the fresh of the press Your Jury Rights True or False brochure.
We were later Joined by Jason Christopher who came and shot some video. Later we were joined by Marla Buchwald who I gave the document Handing out FIJA Literature Around Courthouses to read, before she started distributing FIJA brochures.

We were also joined by Mark Schmidter who is a regular with FIJA in Orlando.
The Orlando group is really making headway. The defense attorneys love FIJA Orlando, but as one defense attorney let us know “The judge is telling the jurors that the idiots outside are handing out garbage.” Both the judges and the prosecuting attorneys have a real dislike of the truth that we are telling people.
I had the chance to do a quick interview with one individual who I saw reading the Your Jury Rights True or False brochure. Here is what he had to say:
Today we distributed 1,400 brochures at the County Courthouse in Orlando, Florida.
County Courthouse Orlando Florida
On Thursday, October 7, 2010 I drove over to Orlando, Florida to do some activism with Orlando’s FIJA Coordinator John Kurtz and his happy band of activists: Mark Schmidter, Cory Chenard and Alle Shane.
Beautiful weather yet again; clear blue sky, sun beaming down with a nice breeze and very little humidity, an awesome day for FIJA Activism.
The Orange County Courthouse at: 415 N Orange Ave Orlando Florida his huge, this is a monstrous building. I can’t imagine the justification for a courthouse of this magnitude, all I can say is there must be a massive amount of victimless crimes in Orange County, Florida.
John Kurtz told me that earlier that morning he was told by a police officer to turn off his camera. The officer tried to snatch the camera three times from John’s hand. Here is the film footage of that incident.
Later that day I was told by a defense attorney that the judge was telling the jury to ignore the information that we are handing out. Here is the video of the attorney.
Later we were joined by a newcomer to the Orlando FIJA group Alle Shane.
While I was in Orlando I received a call from a lady in Tampa, her name is Leilan Silva. She told me that she was outside the Courthouse in Tampa, Florida and she saw a piece of paper on the floor. She picked up the paper and started to read it, she thought it was amazing that piece of paper was the Who Owns Your Body? brochure. Lelian told me she wants to get involved and help educate people on this powerful information. Leilan will be joining Chris LeRoux and I at the Tampa Courthouse next week .
Another great day in Orlando, approximately 1,650 brochures distributed.
On Thursday, September 30th, 2010 I headed out to Orlando to meet with FIJA Orlando Coordinator John Kurtz and his crew Mark Schmidter and Cory Chenard.
The sky was overcast and there was chill in the air, but that made a refreshing change.
We started to hand out FIJA brochures at the Federal Courthouse at: 401 West Central Boulevard Orlando, Florida.
After an hour we headed over to the Orange County Court House at: 415 N. Orange Ave, Orlando, Florida. Here it was really busy, lots of people going into the courthouse. We were shortly joined by Austin White and Audra Montgomery who are regulars with FIJA Orlando.
One of the females that I offered a brochure to said “You should not be doing that, what you are handing out is all lies” I asked the lady if she was an attorney to which she replied “Yes”. I said to her “Well of course you would say that, your a prosecuting attorney and you are trying to squelch my freedom of speech!” Shortly after an officer of the law arrived and told me that I have every right to be here handing out the brochures, but could I not be abrasive with people. I explained that I am not going to sit back and be attacked verbally, that if someone is going to do that I will say something back. The officer was okay with what I said and left.
Later that afternoon a lady dressed in black told us that an email had gone out to all the attorneys and judges letting them know that we were outside handing out the brochures. [Rumor has it that they sent all of the jurors home.]
Team Orlando did very well, they distributed approximately 1,850 brochures, AWESOME JOB!
Later that evening I spoke at The University of Florida, approximately 70 people attended. I spoke about how the government assumes that it owns your body, because the government can tell you what you can and can not put in your body.
