Hey all,
I'ts a looonnng story, but here is a brief overview: I requested a copy of the oath of office for my state senator, Senate Pro-Tempore Toni Atkins and her deputy, Jason Weisz. The oaths came back with all signatures redacted, which indicates to me that one or both of the oaths was never fully executed. But they didn't redact the dates, and both oaths had already expired, which means both Atkins and Weisz are currently working unlawfully.
I filed a bond complaint against both Atkins and Weisz and against the two FOIA people who improperly redacted the documents. No word back on that and Atkins is still working.
I have contacted a bunch of republican organizations, who I thought would be eager to get Atkins arrested for violating Government Code sections 1360, 1362-1369 and Section 3 of Article XX of the Constitution of California, which per Title 18 U.S.C. § 912, includes fines and/or three years imprisonment. Also, all the work she's done since the expiration has to be voided (and if she never signed that oath, everything she's ever done has to be voided). Not a peep from any of them, which makes me think that maybe some republicans are working without proper oaths, too.
Curious about who else didn't have properly executed oaths, I made a request for 22 more oaths, including Scott Weiner's. They have a 2-week turn time. It has now been 7-weeks, and the Senate Committee has made it clear that this request will be "in process" indefinitely and never be fulfilled. I complained to his HR about the FOIA people violating the laws by not providing the documents, and HR didn't do anything
Toni Atkins and Scott Weiner are at the forefront of creating and pushing laws to destroy families and transition children behind parents backs. I feel like there are other groups who will run with this information and get them ousted. Do you guys have any suggestions on who I should contact/what other steps I should take?
Try the sheriff's office. if they don't have an oath of office then they're illegal.
I already tried the Sacramento sheriff about oaths of the first three government employees that I found who didn't have oaths (all three work at the state income tax agency in Sacramento). The sheriff said they have no authority over government employees and to contact the Attorney General. I told the sheriff that the attorney general's office represents the government, not the people, and wouldn't do anything about it.
I did go ahead and notify the Attorney General of those first 3 people that I found who didn't have executed oaths. The AG never acknowledged my email, and as far as I can tell, all three are still working at the agency.
However, Atkins is in San Diego and I guess it wouldn't hurt to contact the San Diego sheriff.
The next thing I would do is start filing lawsuits and see if you can get a judge to pay attention. Nobody in the government is gonna pay attention or care about this. Talk to an attorney? Maybe there's an attorney out there that can help you.
I've read of people succeeding in lawsuits because they elected officials didn't have oaths office, or the judges even didn't have an oath of office.
In California, a bond claim is a required precursor for a lawsuit. If your and claim is denied, then you are allowed to file suit. I've already got a bond claim in process for the first two oaths that were improperly redact acted, and I am at this moment working on the bond claim for not turning over the rest of the oaths that will hopefully get filed on Monday.
I've been fighting government corruption since early 2017. I have learned that the system is rigged and that the money you pay a lawyer goes out the window. I have already sued once acting as my own lawyer and I will do it again once I get the bond denial.
The lawsuit that I did was a waste in the sense that the judge made a blatantly corrupt ruling and I didn't stop the corruption as I had hoped; but it was a giant treasure trove in terms of information that was exposed via Discovery of even more corruption and the fact that the government agency never denied the allegations of wrong doing. The agency evaded acknowledging the allegations and so did the judge. They all pretended the suit was about something different altogether, but failure to deny constitutes admission of truth. So, I got a ton of proof of more corruption and a tacit admission that they were indeed doing all the corruption.
Edit to add: I also have a bond claim pending for the 10 people at the state income tax agency that I have caught without oaths, too (I mentioned above "the first 3" but it was ten total)
On behalf of the world's children I thank you for all your efforts!
“What does it matter now anyway” will be all gov employees responses.
Don't bother, she's corrupt too.
:( I kind of figured. I'll still try, though.
