Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page vi


1  I, Pamela Barnett, declare under penalty of perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1746:

2  1. Declarant / Plaintiff in esse is pro se herein without being an attorney.

3  2. Plaintiff / Declarant in anticipation of leave of the Court for economy and brevity

4  hereby consolidates Plaintiff’s response in opposition to the U.S. Election Assistance

5  Commission by its director Thomas Wilkey (EAC) in its motion to dismiss as to it

6  represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Yoshinori H. T. Himel of the United States

7  Attorney's Office in Sacramento filed on August 27, 2010 for a post General Election

8  hearing November 12, 2010 and the California Attorney General Motion filed August 24,

9  2010 as to Defendants Brown and Bowen joined by Defendant Kelley for a hearing

10  November 10, 2010 after the General Election and now together move as of October 4,

11  2010 for a combined hearing date on October 22, 2010 as applies to Plaintiff’s Notice of

12  Cross Motion for creation of a three judge panel with 42 USC §1973C in compliance

13  with 28 USC §2284 for an expedited hearing as time is of the essence with imminent

14  irreparable harm deserving of equity relief with a declaratory judgment and restraint.

15  Plaintiff Response as to Defendants’ Introduction

16  3. Plaintiff seeks a declaratory judge pursuant to the cross motion with a combined

17  hearing scheduled for October 22, 2010 for creation of a three judge panel with 42 USC

18  §1973C in compliance with 28 USC §2284 to hear the Voting Rights Act (VRA) 42 USC

19  1973-C matter for a directed verdict with FRCP Rule 65 provisional and final relief with

20  28 USC §2201 and §2202 for issues raised as to 42 USC §1973 –I (c), §1973– I (d),

21  §1973-J, §1973-N, §1973GG-10 and §15544 as relates to 42 USC §1983, §1985(3)

22  and §1986 accordingly involving the questionable defective voter registration of

23  Defendant Damon Dunn who acted with Democratic Party partisans Defendants Orange

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 1 of 40


1  County Registrar (OCR) Kelley and Secretary of State (SOS)Bowen defined with 42

2  USC 1985(3) as well as AG Brown defined with 42 USC 1986 to interfere with the

3  Republican Party Primary by conspiring to spoliate public records in anticipation of

4  Defendant Dunn’s Republican Party candidacy for Secretary of State with ballot access

5  at the November 2, 2010 General Election ballot for California Secretary of State.

6  4. That Plaintiff’s claim is based upon SOS Bowen and OCR Kelley collusion to

7  interfere as Democrats against SOS Bowen’s opponent SOS candidacy of Dr. Orly

8  Taitz, Esq. that by favoring a weaker candidate allowed for Dunn’s acts of spoliation with

9  the voter registration process so that Dunn’s affiliation with the Republican Party as a

10  Republican opponent would be versus that of Dr. Orly Taitz to give Dunn a sufficient

11  amount of time before the Republican Primary when registering to vote in California in

12  March 2009; and that neither OCR Kelley nor SOS Bowen acted to conform the faulty

13  Dunn registration with the ir-rebuttable presumptions of CA Election Code (CAEC)

14  §2154, instead used the pre NVRA / HAVA administrative protocol process admitted to

15  use of Cal. Admin. Code tit. 2, §19050.6 (shown at OCR Demurrer Memorandum page

16  3) that ignores any prior out of state registration in favor of California registration per se,

17  and that Plaintiff in the complaint process to correct the Dunn filling both Defendant

18  Bowen with AG Brown as Partisan Democrats show a pattern to marginalize and

19  disparage Plaintiff’s administrative complaints dating from before the 2008 General

20  Election.

21  5. That Plaintiff does seek to substantive due process based upon California Code

22  to bar Defendants; Damon Dunn, OCR Kelley, Secretary of State Debra Bowen and

23  Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. from the General Election ballot and further

24  public office, claiming that they breached their fiduciary duties to Plaintiff along with

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 2 of 40


1  those similarly situated as California Republican Party members without ministerial

2  conforming to the requirements of CAEC §§2150 through 2154 as applies to any state

3  that maintains a voter registration database with 42 USC §1973gg and §15544 that with

4  related law requires a properly completed timely voter registration form; and without

5  such, thereby disqualifies Dunn as a candidate for Secretary of State and voting

6  participation when the filing completed after 15 days before the June 8, 2010

7  Republican primary and until this very day when 15 days before the November 2, 2010

8  from participation at the General Election except by provisional ballot with the VRA.

9  6. That when co-defendant United States Election Assistance Commission (EAC)

10  removed this matter to this Court under 28 U.S.C. §1442(a) (1) (as a suit against a

11  federal agency), and under the voting rights, the EAC’s presence in this suit is NOT the

12  only basis for federal jurisdiction in this matter as State Defendants are Federal Agents

13  acting under color of state law that had not been pre-cleared as to the operation of the

14  VRA for those states maintaining a Voter registration database. Therefore, if the Court

15  decides to dismiss EAC, it then has to dispose of the VRA matter as applies to its State

16  agents as Federal Agents with use of the Voter Registration database and thereafter

17  with the discretion to remand this case to state court for settling the damages. Prior to

18  removal, Defendants Brown and Bowen had filed a demurrer to Plaintiff's First Amended

19  Complaint. Remanding this matter would allow the superior court to decide damages

20  after a declaratory judgment is had with the VRA issues presented by Plaintiff.

21  7. That were the Court to retain jurisdiction of this matter, it should NOT grant

22  Defendants Brown Bowen and Kelley's motions to dismiss without leave to amend, as

23  Sovereign immunity under the Eleventh Amendment does not bar Plaintiff's claims

24  against Defendants Brown Bowen and Kelley as referenced in the Argument below.

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 3 of 40


1  Moreover, the issuance of Plaintiff's requested relief--orders to remove Dunn, Kelley,

2  Bowen, and Brown from the General Election ballot or from further public service -

3  would not substantially interfere with the November 2, 2010 election as public policy to

4  have both honest services of all public servants and an accurate fraud free ballot

5  presented to the voters to prevent making the voters accomplices in a fraud and crime;

6  and that otherwise as the primary election ended on June 8,2010, the parties have

7  nominated candidates for the Secretary of State and Governor races, and the state's

8  voters will elect a Secretary of State and Governor in the November 2, 2010 General

9  Election. Plaintiff's requested relief, therefore, would result in the nullification of votes

10  cast for Dunn, Kelley, Bowen, and Brown as would be required under the provisions of

11  CEC §18203, §18500 and §18501 accordingly.

12  8. The Court should order that Dunn did not properly qualify as an eligible candidate

13  for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State without a properly executed voter

14  registration form. Because before declaring his candidacy, Dunn needed to have been

15  affiliated with the California Republican party for at least three months, and not affiliated

16  with any other qualified California party for at least twelve months as Dunn without filing

17  a properly affirmed application to register to vote is not affiliated till this day, has not

18  cleared both of these requirements, and without a properly completed voter registration

19  he could not affiliate as a Republican nearly twelve months before declaring his

20  candidacy for Secretary of State in March 2010. And although Dunn's prior registration

21  in the Florida Democratic Party did not disqualify his candidacy, to the contrary because

22  Defendant Dunn’s actions to expunge the prior record and conceal it from the State

23  Defendants also involved an active Florida drivers license must nevertheless have been

24  referenced on the Voter Registration application filed by Dunn with perjury;

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 4 of 40


1  notwithstanding whether or not Dunn’s prior registration Florida had expired five years

2  before he declared his candidacy, and notwithstanding whether or not the Florida

3  Democratic Party is or is not a qualified political party in California is immaterial to the

4  Dunn perjury in filling with the VRA when “Florida” must appear on line 16 when first

5  filed to be a properly affirmed affidavit of registration that still is not done. State

6  Defendants are not entitled to dismissal because Plaintiff's complaint does state the

7  facts showing that Defendants breached their duties in the processing of Dunn's

8  declaration for candidacy under the VRA.

9  9. That neither OCR Kelley nor the Secretary of State fulfilled their duties by

10  presenting Dunn as one of the certified candidates for Secretary of State without a

11  properly executed voter registration affidavit. That Defendant Bowen also confirms

12  Dunn’s wrong doing by admitting the nonconforming registration with proof of intent was

13  to defraud was done by Dunn is ineligibility after Plaintiff had requested an investigation.

14  10. As for the Attorney General, Defendant Brown does have a statutory duty to

15  investigate Dunn's eligibility, especially when the Secretary of State found reason of

16  nonconformance with intent to defraud as Plaintiff referred the matter to the Attorney

17  General. And that Plaintiff's complaint does raise those facts showing that Defendants

18  intentionally concealed or misrepresented information regarding Dunn's eligibility to run

19  for Secretary of State, and for these reasons, the Court should grant the Plaintiff motion

20  for a three judge panel for declaratory and injunctive relief accordingly and deny any of

21  the defendants’ motion to dismiss; and in granting Plaintiff’s motion the Court should

22  also grant Plaintiff further leave to amend her complaint as to the Federal matters

23  involved if the court deemed such matter necessary nunc pro tunc. Barnett has

24  exercised her right to amend her complaint once before answering Defendants' initial

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 5 of 40


1  demurrer filed in state court. However, even in her First Amended Complaint, Barnett

2  has alleged facts stating a claim for relief as State Defendants’ actions beyond the

3  required ministerial requirement of Election Code under color of the pre-VRA uncleared

4  Cal. Admin. Code tit. 2, § 19050.6, in which State Defendants cite the 1904 decision in

5  Huston v. Anderson (1904) 145 Cal. 320,324, and the 1917 decision in Pohlmann v.

6  Patty (1917) 33 Cal. App. 390 show that the Defendants are liable, and that the Court

7  should remand the complaint with declaratory judgment back to State Court for settling

8  damages to close this matter.

9  Plaintiff Response as to Defendants’ Factual Background

10  11. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

11  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

12  for brevity, as to the Background facts as in part alleged by States Defendants motion

13  are from Plaintiff’s First Amended complaint that properly alleges Damon Dunn is the

14  Republican candidate for California Secretary of State and that the facts speak for

15  themselves. However in reference to the May 12, 2010 letter from the SOS shown as

16  Exhibit M in the FAC the intent is shown in paragraphs at the First Amended Complaint

17  Sixth Cause of action paragraphs 111 through 120 show thereby the required affirmative

18  action by the State Defendant that was not done and is in conflict with the administrative

19  code 19050.6.

20  Plaintiff Response as to Defendants’ Procedural History

21  12. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

22  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

23  for brevity, as to the Procedural History as in part alleged by States Defendants motion

24  shown that the Plaintiff’s actions were timely given the requested expedited process that

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 6 of 40


1  was outrageously delayed or denied, Plaintiff is not subject to any claim of Laches

2  given the extent of concealment and misdirection done by Defendants Dunn, Kelley

3  Bowen and Brown with their agents; and that EAC is a named party due to the denial of

4  substantive due process and unequal treatment accordingly as State Defendants are

5  EAC’s agents with the VRA.

6  Plaintiff Response as to Defendants’ Standard of Review

7  13. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

8  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

9  for brevity, as to State Defendants stated Standard for Review, Plaintiff complies

10  accordingly. Plaintiff meets the requirement under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)

11  (6), that as a matter of law it is clear that relief can be granted under any set of facts that

12  could be proved consistent with the allegations. That Plaintiff has a cognizable legal

13  theory, or sufficient facts alleged to support a cognizable legal theory. In considering the

14  motion, the Court must construe the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff

15  and accept all well-pleaded factual allegations as true. That the complaint does contain

16  sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its

17  face. That Plaintiff’s claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content

18  that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the

19  misconduct alleged. The plausibility standard is not akin to a 'probability requirement,'

20  when but asks for more than a sheer possibility that defendant has acted unlawfully.

21  That Defendant Kelley in his Demurrer to which Plaintiff contends there in effect raised

22  the preclearance matter is a conflict of law under the VRA requiring a declaratory

23  judgment that may resolve the legal issue before a decision on the facts may be reviewed

24  and decided.


Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 7 of 40
1  Plaintiff Response as to Defendants’ Arguments

2  14. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

3  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

4  for brevity, as to State Defendants including Kelley, Bowen and Brown along with those

5  agents similarly situated however as yet named, Defendant Dunn who merely filed an

6  answer of general denial in State Superior Court without an appearance herein, and the

7  EAC whose agent the DOJ is responsible for investigation of all complaints and

8  submission for compliance with VRA and related law.


10  As for Plaintiff’s response to State Defendants defense using the Eleventh Amendment

11  15. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

12  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

13  for brevity, and that Plaintiff opposes as inapplicable the California Defendants’ putative

14  defense of Sovereign immunity with the 11th Amendment that would apply to Kelley

15  Bowen Brown does not apply in that all are agents of the Federal government with

16  duties under HAVA, the NVRA and VRA with related law; and furthermore as state

17  agents are ultra vires by breach of fiduciary duties.

18  16. As for Plaintiff response to State Defendants defense using the Eleventh

19  Amendment, it places no limitations on the power of the judiciary to entertain suits

20  brought against a State by residents of that same State. That nonetheless, the

21  SCOTUS in a controversial 1890 decision, Hans v Louisiana, concluded that the

22  Eleventh Amendment was in fact a bar to federal suits against a state by that state's

23  own citizens. The Court reasoned that at the time of the amendment's ratification in

24  1798 that such a limitation was taken for granted.

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 8 of 40


1  17. The Court limited the effect of Hans somewhat in the 1908 case of Ex Parte

2  Young. The Court allowed a suit for injunctive relief against a state official reasoning

3  that if a state official violated the Constitution he cannot be acting on behalf of a state,

4  which can only act constitutionally. Thus, state officials--but not states--might be sued

5  when they violate the Constitution, even when they do so in the name of the state.

6  18. The question raised in this instant action is, does any State have sovereign

7  immunity from abiding with the NVRA / HAVA / VRA and related laws regarding states

8  that maintain a vote registration database and in this case sanction the harboring of

9  undocumented aliens or tourists at will that effect Citizen suffrage privileges. That in

10  Printz v United States (1997), the SCOTUS found that Congress had unconstitutionally

11  intruded upon state sovereignty in the law in question in Printz was a provision of the

12  Brady Act requiring chief law enforcement officers of states to run background checks

13  on prospective handgun purchasers. The Court rejected the federal government's

14  argument that it could enlist states in enforcing federal law, even though it might be

15  unconstitutional to require states to make law--the problem identified in New York v U.

16  S. However such may not be applied to both the VRA / INA and related law in that as a

17  result of the enactment of the U.S. Constitution every State of the several States in

18  perpetuity relinquished the right to determine the grant of US Citizenship to any alien as

19  it once had power to grant under the Articles of Confederation; and therefore no public

20  official of any State of the several states may ignore the provisions of VRA/INA and

21  related law including the racketeering provisions of harboring without acting ultra vires

22  and that any law passed to the contrary of Federal INA and related law except to adopt

23  said law as the law of the State per se with both civil and criminal provisions to match as

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 9 of 40


1  such any State action to the contrary may be enjoined by a Citizen of another state

2  without bar by the Eleventh Amendment.

3  19. In Hans v. Louisiana, 134 U.S. 1 (1890), the Supreme Court ruled that the

4  amendment reflects a broader principle of sovereign immunity. As Justice Anthony

5  Kennedy, writing for a five Justice majority, stated in Alden v. Maine, 527 U.S. 706

6  (1999):

7  “[S]overeign immunity derives not from the Eleventh Amendment but from the
8  structure of the original Constitution itself....Nor can we conclude that the specific
9  Article I powers delegated to Congress necessarily include, by virtue of the
10  Necessary and Proper Clause or otherwise, the incidental authority to subject the
11  States to private suits as a means of achieving objectives otherwise within the scope
12  of the enumerated powers.”

13  20. Although the Eleventh Amendment immunizes states from suit for money

14  damages or equitable relief without their consent, in Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123

15  (1908), the Supreme Court ruled that federal courts may enjoin state officials from

16  violating federal law. In Fitzpatrick v. Bitzer, 427 U.S. 445 (1976), the Supreme Court

17  ruled that Congress may abrogate state immunity from suit under the enforcement

18  clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as is done with the INA and related Federal Law.

19  As to Defendants’ contention that the Court should grant defendants' motion to dismiss
20  because Plaintiff’s requested relief would substantially interfere with
21  the conduct of the Election
22 
23  21. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

24  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

25  for brevity, and that Plaintiff opposes as to alleged interference with elections as moot

26  and that the California Defendants’ putative defense of compelling state interest to

27  present to the voters a defective ballot at the general election that would apply to Dunn,

28  Kelley Bowen Brown as to their actions; however in the alternative,

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 10 of 40


1  22. Plaintiff’s question to the Court is as to whether or not when the ballot as

2  presented is a fraud as to even a single candidate that it invites the voter into an act of

3  fraud also and whether not such statewide office also affects the votes cast for other

4  candidates too – which Plaintiff contends it does and is suffrage fraud.

5  As for Defendants' contention that Plaintiff somehow failed to state a claim for relief
6  allege Dunn satisfied the eligibility requirements to run for Secretary of State, and is not
7  disqualified by any omissions in his voter registration form.

9  23. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

10  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

11  for brevity, and that Plaintiff based upon the facts presented denies the Defendants’

12  putative defense that somehow Plaintiff failed to state a claim for relief as to Dunn,

13  Kelley, Bowen, Brown and EAC.

14  24. As to Dunn, he did not satisfy the voter registration requirement with a properly

15  executed registration affidavit according to the law, and still has not by a plain reading of

16  the law and factual evidence shown by the actual registration form that is incomplete;

17  and that the facts at FAC Paragraphs 111 through 120 show:

18  “111. That the Background checks that was faxed to the California Board of Election
19  Chief confirms that Mr. Dunn had registered in both Texas and Florida
20  (see Exhibit J-1).
21  112. On or about February 24, 2010 Defendant Kelley and or his agents issued
22  a Declaration of Candidacy for Defendant Dunn located at 3131 Michelson Unit
23  708W Irvine CA 92612 pursuant to Elections Code Section 200, 8020 and 8040,
24  certified it on March 10, 2010 and filed on March 15, 2010 by Defendant Bowen
25  based upon the March 13, 2009 improperly executed Voter Affidavit of Registration
26  shown as Exhibit A for the Republican Party Direct Primary Election to be held June
27  8, 2010 (see Exhibit K).
28  113. Because the Registration shown as Exhibit A is Fraudulent until Mr. Dunn
29  amended a properly executed Affidavit of Registration to Vote in 2010, the
30  November 5, 2009 Intent for Candidacy shown as Exhibit B is null and void along
31  with the March 15, 2010 filed Declaration of Candidacy in that Mr. Dunn had not
32  been affiliated with the California Republican Party for 3 months required with
33  8001(a) by the amendment.
34  114. That on page two of the Declaration of Candidacy shown as Exhibit K

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 11 of 40


1  Respondent Dunn and or the Notary / agent of Neal Kelley Registrar of Voters
2  affirmed in the BOX provided for prior registration that as to Party Affiliation "No Prior
3  Registration exists; and
4  115. That on March 15, 2010, the time stamp shows that Defendant Bowen and or
5  her agent deputy filed the Certified Declaration of Candidacy shown on Exhibit K first
6  page.
7  116. That on March 30, 2010 Duval County Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland
8  wrote a letter to Mark Loren Chief Investigator of the Election Fraud Investigation
9  Unit of Secretary of State that confirmed Mr. Dunn had a prior registration at 10135
10  Gate Parkway, North #1111, Jacksonville Florida (see Exhibit L).
11  117. That after May 12, 2010 Plaintiff received a letter from Mark Loren Chief
12  Investigator of the Election Fraud Investigation Unit of the Secretary of State Office
13  also confirmed Mr. Dunn had a prior registration in Florida and admitted that Mr.
14  Dunn was in non-compliance with CEC §2150 (a) (10); however alleged that without
15  evidence the omission was intentional no criminal sanctions for non-compliance
16  exist (see Exhibit M).
17  118. That according to Exhibit A, Mr. Dunn intentionally left the Section 16 blank to
18  conceal the prior registrations in both Texas and Florida in conjunction with his
19  intended candidacy for CA SOS and lied in the affirmation by using "March
20  15,1976".
21  119. That according to Exhibit C Defendant Dunn attempted to spoliate his
22  registration record in Florida and Texas in conjunction with his candidacy for CA
23  SOS; and based upon information and belief Mr. Dunn was successful in expunging
24  the registration record in Texas to no avail did turn up in the background check
25  shown as Exhibit J-1 that had been sent to Mark Loren Chief Investigator of the
26  Election Fraud Investigation Unit of the Secretary of State Office.
27  120. That according to Exhibit K page two, Defendant Dunn lied under oath taken by
28  Defendant Kelley or his agent had "no prior registration based upon the March 13,
29  2009 improperly executed Voter Affidavit of Registration shown as Exhibit A….”
30 
31  25. Plaintiff based upon the facts presented opposes the California Defendants’

32  putative defense that somehow, Kelley, Bowen, Brown fulfilled all duties in ensuring

33  Dunn and other’s candidacy in the past complied with election laws.

34  26. Mr. Kelley admitted use of the administrative code that is in conflict with the

35  election code provision that is without rebuttable presumption with the duty to mandate

36  that Dunn re-file a registration with complete information wasn’t done and still isn’t; also

37  spoliated evidence of wrong doing in the course of ministerial duties.

38  27. Ms. Bowen admitted the Dunn registration is “nonconforming” and without a

39  rebuttable presumption failed with the duty to mandate that Dunn re-file a registration

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 12 of 40


1  with complete information wasn’t done and still isn’t; and when presented with proof of

2  Dunn’s malicious intent to circumvent the code by expunging election records in other

3  states and failed to change his Florida driver’s license to a California driver license as is

4  required with the law for a valid residency for over a year after attempting to file a voter

5  registration form, Bowen failed to fulfill all duties in ensuring Dunn’s and as with other

6  candidacies in the past to comply with election laws.

7  28. Mr. Brown admitted receipt of several complaints as to election law violations and

8  has done nothing and that Mr. Brown’s oath office requires in Section 3 of article XX of

9  the California Constitution provides:

10  “Members of the Legislature, and all public officers and employees, executive,
11  legislative, and judicial, except such inferior officers and employees as may be by law
12  exempted, shall, before they enter upon the duties of their respective offices, take and
13  subscribe the following oath or affirmation:
14 
15  “‘I,_________________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and
16  defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of
17  California against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and
18  allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of
19  California; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of
20  evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am about to
21  enter.
22 
23  “‘And I do further swear (or affirm) that I do not advocate, nor am I a member of any
24  party or organization, political or otherwise, that now advocates the overthrow of the
25  Government of the United States or the State of California by force or violence or other
26  unlawful means; that within the five years immediately preceding the taking or this oath
27  (or affirmation) I have not been a member of any party or organization, political or
28  otherwise, that advocates the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of
29  the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means except as follows:
30 
31  ______________________________________________________________
32  (If no affiliations, write in the words “No Exceptions”) and that during such time as I hold
33  the office of ______________ I will not (name of office) advocate nor become a member
34  of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that advocates the overthrow of the
35  Government of the United States or of the State of California by force or violence or
36  other unlawful means.’
37 

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 13 of 40


1  “And no other oath, declaration, or test, shall be required as the qualification for any
2  public office or employment.

4  “‘Public officer and employee’ includes every officer and employee of the State,
5  including the University of California, every county, city, city and county, district, and
6  authority, including any department, division, bureau, board, commission, agency, or
7  instrumentality of any of the foregoing.”

9  29. The California Attorney General has a very broad general grant of authority from

10  both the California Constitution and the Government Code. In addition, certain sections

11  in the civil rights statutes delineate specific mandates for the Attorney General as to

12  General Authority: The Constitution & Government Code §12511, the California

13  Constitution establishes the general, broad grant of authority to the Attorney General. It

14  establishes that subject to the powers and duties of the Governor, the Attorney General

15  shall be the Chief Law Officer of the State. It shall be the duty of the Attorney General to

16  see that the laws of the State are uniformly and adequately enforced. Statutory law, in

17  establishing the general operating structure of the Attorney General and the Department

18  of Justice, reiterates the broad grant of authority:

19  “The Attorney General has charge, as attorney, of all legal matters in which the State
20  is interested, except the business of the Regents of the University of California and
21  of such other boards or offices as are by law authorized to employ attorneys. “

22  30. That the Case law in this area has generally interpreted both the Constitutional

23  and statutory grants of authority in unison. The courts have interpreted the provisions

24  expansively, in that the Attorney General's authority is limited only when the legislature

25  expressly deprives the Attorney General of the authority to pursue an action in a

26  specified area through a legislative enactment.

27  31. The Attorney General has the authority to file any civil action which he or she

28  deems necessary for the enforcement of the laws of California, the preservation of

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 14 of 40


1  order, and /or the protection of the rights and interest of the public. In addition, the

2  Attorney General may file any civil action which directly involves the rights and interests

3  of the State. Since the Attorney General is the chief law officer of the state, "he

4  possesses not only extensive statutory powers but also broad powers derived from the

5  common law relative to the protection of the public interest." The courts have held

6  unequivocally that it is the settled rule in California that the Attorney General is

7  authorized "to file any civil action for the enforcement of the laws of the state or the

8  United States Constitution, which in the absence of legislative restriction to the contrary,

9  he deems necessary for the protection of public rights and interests."

10  32. That according to the published July 2010 analysis conducted by Hans Bader (1)

11  of counsel to the Competitive Enterprise Institute of Washington District of Columbia

12  Edmund G. Brown is “The Nation’s Worst State Attorneys General” (2) with the Executive

13  summary, Introduction and particulars as to Mr. Brown see Exhibit A, as to Mr. Brown

14  who fails in all four areas analyzed in the criteria for AG ratings states:

15  “ 1. Ethical Breaches and Selective Applications of the Law. Using campaign
16  contributors to bring lawsuits. Using the attorney general’s office to promote
17  personal gain or enrich cronies or relatives. Favoritism towards campaign donors
18  and other uneven or unpredictable application of the law (including refusal to
19  defend state laws or state agencies being sued when plausible defenses exist).

1  imposition of new taxes or regulations, or restrictions on private citizens’ freedom
2  to contract.

4  “3. Usurping Legislative Powers. Bringing lawsuits that usurp regulatory
5  powers granted to the federal government or other state entities, or that are
6  untethered to any specific statutory or constitutional grant of authority.

8  “4. Predatory Practices. Seeking to regulate conduct occurring wholly in other
9  states—for example, preying on out-of-state businesses that have not violated
10  state law and have no remedy at the polls.
11 
12  “ 1. Jerry Brown, California
13  The worst attorney general in America is California’s Jerry Brown. One of the
14  most fundamental duties of a state attorney general is to defend all state laws
15  against constitutional challenges. California Attorney General Jerry Brown has
16  abdicated that duty by picking and choosing which laws to defend, and even
17  seeking to undermine those, he disagreed with (regardless of their
18  constitutionality). For example, he refused to defend Proposition 8, an
19  amendment to California’s constitution that prohibits gay marriage—but not civil
20  unions—even after it was upheld by the state Supreme Court. Absurdly, Brown
21  claimed that Proposition 8 somehow violated the state constitution—even though
22  it is actually part of California’s constitution. Brown also claimed that Proposition
23  8 violates the federal Constitution, even though the Supreme Court and other
24  courts have already rejected such challenges to state gay marriage bans. While
25  The author of this paper publicly opposed Proposition 8; it plainly does not violate
26  the state constitution…
27 
28  “Brown’s fundraising practices raise ethical concerns. He collected $52,500 in
29  campaign contributions from relatives and from a company his office had been
30  investigating in a public pension fund corruption probe. Using his leverage as
31  state attorney general, Brown raised nearly $10 million in contributions to favored
32  charities from industries that he oversees as state attorney general, including
33  utilities, casino operators, and health care organizations. Brown also conducted
34  an investigation of the scandal-prone leftist activist group Association of
35  Community Organizations for Reform Now, better known by its acronym,
36  ACORN, that has been criticized as a whitewash. ACORN faced a public
37  relations disaster in September 2009, when the conservative commentary
38  website BigGovernment.com released a series of highly embarrassing hidden
39  camera videos. In the videos, ACORN employees at several of the group’s
40  offices around the country are seen providing advice to the filmmakers, a man
41  and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute, on how to conduct several illegal
42  activities, including running a prostitution ring. In his report, Brown said that while
43  ACORN did nothing “criminal,” his office found likely violations of state law.
44  Brown closed his investigation without taking any action against ACORN, despite
45  admitting that it had committed “highly inappropriate acts,” such as failure to file
46  tax returns, illegally dumping 20,000 pages of documents, and four instances of
47  possible voter registration fraud. Worse, Brown criticized the filmmakers who

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 16 of 40


1  exposed ACORN’s wrongdoing, claiming their videotape “violated” ACORN’s
2  privacy—even though the videos were all made at the ACORN offices’ public
3  reception areas.”

5  and that at the Report page 21 states in Conclusion:

7  “Many state attorneys general across the nation conscientiously fulfill their duties
8  every day. However, others, like those discussed above, have failed to heed the
9  limits on their own power. Instead of focusing on their historical function of
10  defending state agencies in court and providing legal advice, they have chosen
11  to use lawsuits as a weapon by which to undemocratically impose new
12  regulations on the public. In the process, they have usurped the lawmaking
13  authority of state legislatures and Congress. To satisfy their ambitions, and
14  enrich political allies, they have imposed great costs on our nation’s economy
15  and system of government, while fostering corruption, and undermining
16  constitutional checks and balances. The power of state AGs needs to be brought
17  back under control.

20  As to Defendants’ contention that the Court should dismiss Plaintiff's seventh cause of

21  action for unjust enrichment as to supporting facts

22  33. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

23  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

24  for brevity, as to Defendants unjust enrichment plaintiff along with those similarly

3  $5,000.

4  Defendants Failure To Maintain The Integrity of

5  The Voter Registration Database With VRA

6  34. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

7  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

8  for brevity, as to the State Defendants who are Federal agents of the EAC as a result of

9  California voluntarily deciding to use a voter registration base, and that because such

10  database is subject to fraudulent use requires Defendants Kelly, Bowen, Brown and

11  their agents to exercise a heightened standard of care to remove the deceased, those

12  relocated out of state, duplicate registrations, and ascertain that those who do register

13  are US Citizens of the proper age and civil status, including the requirement that the

14  person has a bona fide identity and that registration is not executed to circumvent the

15  election law and or the VRA. That in part the NVRA and HAVA were enacted because

16  those states that maintain a voter registration database have failed to exercise a

17  heightened standard of care to prevent fraud in California and the several states that

18  use a database.

19  35. That the pattern of failure of prior California State Officials to maintain a valid

20  voter registration list is shown by Superior Court evidence in the 1996 re-election defeat

21  of Robert K. Dornan (3), and the 2002 evidence of fraudulent use of the Voter registration

9  SCOTUS, cert. granted Sept. 25, 2007) (see Exhibit D); and based upon the pattern of

10  the lax partisan standard of care shown by Defendants remains unchanged and that as

11  a matter of fact the voter registration database is improperly maintained with the

12  deceased, non-citizens, multiple registration and false registration and stolen

13  impersonation for the purpose of obtaining reimbursement by EAC / DOJ under HAVA.

                                                                                                                                                                                                

California in his then Congressional district race wherein the State registered 4,023 alien non-
citizens as proven on record with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) [meaning at
least they were on a visa or had permanent residence whereas illegal aliens are totally off the
radar of the INS except for records of deportation upon arrest when there is illegal entry], and in
which no less than 2,369 of those aliens voted for Loretta Sanchez with impunity; and despite
RKD heroic efforts in seeking due process in State Court, in which the fraudulent election as a
matter of public record was conducted by consent not competition of the Republican and
Democratic National Parties, when about to be resolved in state court was removed by then
Speaker of the House to be buried in the dark of night there in the US House by the traitor
Gingrich and other bi-partisan Progressive partisans of both parties to hide vote fraud of their
own, and promote exploitation of illegal alien harboring and sanctuary policies.

1  36. That based upon the comparison of the voter registration database of Texas and

2  California both states databases are significantly in variance with that of New York (see

3  Exhibit E), wherein the necessary firewalls and safeguards are in place even with the

4  inaccuracies therein admitted to by the NYS Board of Elections in 2006 on the Court

5  record before Judge Sharpe in U.S. v NYS BOE NDNY 06-cv-263; and that New York

6  fully complies with the current Voter Registration Form (see Exhibit F) that requests that

7  the State of prior registration be designated by the Affirmant filling out the form for a

8  properly executed form filing unlike ignored by the State Defendants in California.

9  37. That in September 2006, RKD corresponded with the US Ambassador to the

10  Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and Office of Democratic

11  Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) to determine the duties and responsibilities of

12  each state of the several states, the Federal government and OSCE / ODIHR as to the

13  national voter registration database that according to current reports is not accurately

14  maintained as a Federal Issue of concern (see Exhibit G).

15  38. That according to Ruth Gardner as shown in Exhibit C, the 2002 Dean Gardner

16  run for the 30th Assembly District tally showed 121,000 persons voted with the opponent

17  ahead by 200 votes with a survey by mail of 2650 voters showed that 700 surveys were

18  undeliverable with 1691 questionnaires that were answered and returned by electors, in

19  which 83 admitted in writing that they were not citizens, 273 stated they were not

20  registered to vote and did not live in the district while 69 more admitted they voted more

21  than once; and it was proven that of the 1318 voting irregularities 37% of the Democrats

22  were fraudulent and of the 2650 votes 905 were illegal meaning that Dean Gardner won

23  but the State officials did nothing, as with RKD years earlier.

2  39. That Plaintiff realleges each and every allegation contained in the above

3  paragraphs with the same force and effect as though herein set forth at length omits it

4  for brevity, as to the State Defendants who are Federal agents of the EAC, as Federal

5  law also recognizes the broad authority of states' attorney generals. In any suit in federal

6  court where the constitutionality of a state law is at issue, the state attorney general has

7  an absolute right to intervene in that case and have all the rights of a party to the case.

8  In addition to these broad grants of authority, many California statutes specifically

9  delineate the Attorney General's authority.

10  40. Were there an alternative to Mr. Brown’s claim of inability to act in the state of

11  California, if nothing else Mr. Brown must argue the constitutionality of the conflict in the

12  SOS use of the Administrative Code versus the Election code, and in which Mr. Brown is

13  properly named to respond as well as to the failure to act on the complaints filed with his

14  office, then accordingly the U.S, Department of Justice Criminal Division's Public

15  Integrity Unit has the power and authority to investigate such breach of fiduciary duty

16  involving election fraud. Falsification of eligibility documentation by a candidate may fall

17  under one or more of the causes of action that the DOJ's manual describes. For

18  instance, "conspiracy to cause illegal voting".

19  41. It would seem possible that the DOJ is responsible to at least investigate

20  Plaintiff’s and others' accusations that Mr. Dunn committed acts of spoliation with the

21  intent to defraud voters, as with Senator Obama were he not born in Hawaii and that

1  especially applies to Senator John S. McCain (6) and Róger Calero (7 ) of the Socialist

2  Worker’s Party on the 2008 General Election Ballot in California, outrageously wasn’t

3  done; and as was properly complained of by Plaintiff to both Bowen and Brown to no

4  avail, and in that Congress has already granted authority to the DOJ to look into and

5  resolve matters that may take away someone's opportunity to vote for an 'eligible'

6  candidate of their choice or to verify that there is no corruption, conspiracy,

7  misinformation or other irregularities that may taint an election, whether proven or not.

8  Election fraud involves a substantive irregularity relating to the voting act, which has the

John Sidney McCain was born in Colon Hospital, Colon Panama according to the
Panama Canal Health Department not in the Panama Canal Zone, and that according to
the Hay-Banau-Varilla Treaty says Colon Panama the birth city cited on McCain’s 1936
long form birth certificate (where he was witnessed being born, and where his parents
resided, Colon, Republic de Panama), has 26 articles in which the two pertinent to the
status of the city of Colon under that Treaty refer to the Convention for the Construction
of a Ship Canal (Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty), November 18, 1903: ARTICLE I The United
States guarantees and will maintain the independence of the Republic of Panama.
ARTICLE II The Republic of Panama grants to the United States in perpetuity the use,
occupation and control of a zone of land and land under water for the construction
maintenance, operation, sanitation and protection of said Canal of the width of ten miles
extending to the distance of five miles on each side of the center line of the route of the
Canal to be constructed; the said zone beginning in the Caribbean Sea three marine
miles from mean low water mark and extending to and across the Isthmus of Panama
into the Pacific ocean to a distance of three marine miles from mean low water mark
WITH THE PROVISO THAT THE CITIES OF PANAMA AND COLON and the harbors
adjacent to said cities, WHICH ARE INCLUDED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE
ZONE ABOVE DESCRIBED, SHALL NOT BE INCLUDED WITHIN THIS GRANT…”
McCain is not a Natural Born Citizen, who perjured his affidavit for ballot access.
(Emphasis by Plaintiff).

Calero was born in Nicaragua in 1969. He and his family fled via Los Angeles,
California in 1985. Calero is now a permanent resident alien (holding a green card)
since 1990. While in Los Angeles, Calero joined a socialist movement and helped
mobilize support against Proposition 187 in the early 90s and is not a Natural Born
Citizen. (Emphasis by Plaintiff).

1  potential to taint the election itself. activity intended to interfere corruptly with any of the

2  principles indicated below may be actionable as a federal crime:

3  a. All qualified voters have the right to have their votes counted fairly and

4  honestly as a vote for a usurper is not a vote, is in fact, voting for a usurper

5  that may be treason and/or a criminal offence.

6  b. Invalid ballots dilute the worth of valid ballots, and therefore will not be

7  counted as ballots that do not have the name of an eligible candidate are

8  invalid.

9  Simply put, then, election fraud is conduct intended to corrupt. For example:

10  • The process by which ballots are obtained, marked, or tabulated; and

11  • The process by which election results are canvassed and certified. (invalid

12  ballets/votes for a usurper cannot be certified as valid ballots or votes)

13  42. That Plaintiff did properly complain to Bowen and Brown of both Dunn and

14  Obama, which rhetorically if not to them whose job is it to check eligibility and especially

15  presidential eligibility when the states, the FEC, EAC, judiciary and even the

16  OSCE/ODIHR fail in their duty?

17  43. The ANSWER: The U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Public

18  Integrity Section has the duty, for as the following information is taken from the DOJ

19  manual on prosecuting Election fraud requires that ultimately, it is the DOJ's Criminal

20  Division's Public Integrity that has the authority to step in and sort out this mess...The

21  federal government asserts jurisdiction over an election offense to ensure that basic

22  rights of United States citizenship, and a fundamental process of representative

23  democracy, remain uncorrupted...the federal interest is based on the presence of a

24  federal candidate, whose election may be tainted, or appear tainted, by the fraud, a

1  potential effect that Congress has the constitutional authority to regulate under Article I,

2  Section 2, clause 1; Article I, Section 4, clause 1; Article II, Section 1, clause 2; and the

3  Seventeenth Amendment.

4  44. That In 2002, the Department of Justice established a Ballot Access and Voting

5  Integrity Initiative to spearhead its increased efforts to address election crimes and

6  voting rights violations. Under the ongoing Initiative, election crimes are a high law

7  enforcement priority of the Department.

8  45. That the Constitution confers upon the states primary authority over the election

9  process. Accordingly, federal law does not directly address how elections should be

10  conducted. However, local law enforcement often is not equipped to prosecute election

11  offenses. Federal law enforcement might be the only enforcement option available.

12  46. Further that the federal prosecutor’s role in matters involving corruption of the

13  process by which elections are conducted, on the other hand, focuses on prosecuting

14  individuals who commit federal crimes in connection with an election. (This DOES NOT

15  mean that preventative measures have never been taken by the DOJ, they have!)

16  47. Further that in determining whether an election fraud allegation warrants federal

17  criminal investigation and possible prosecution requires that federal prosecutors and

18  investigators answer two basic questions:

19  a. Is criminal prosecution the appropriate remedy for the allegations and facts

20  presented? Criminal prosecution is most appropriate when the facts

21  demonstrate that the defendant’s objective was to corrupt the process by

22  which voters were registered, or by which ballots were obtained, cast, or

23  counted.

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 24 of 40


1  b. Is there potential federal jurisdiction over the conduct? Answering this

2  question requires determining whether the conduct is cognizable under the

3  federal criminal statutes that apply to election crimes. These generally allow

4  for the prosecution of corrupt acts that occur in elections when the name of a

5  federal candidate appears on the ballot, that are committed “under color of

6  law,” that involve voting by non-citizens, that focus on registering to vote, and

7  when the election fraud is part of a larger public corruption problem reachable

8  using general anti-corruption statutes, such as 18 U.S.C. §§ 666, 1341, 1346,

9  1951, and 1952?

10  48. Justice Department supervision over the enforcement of all criminal statutes and

11  prosecutive theories involving corruption of the election process, criminal patronage

12  violations, and campaign financing crimes is delegated to the Criminal Division’s Public

13  Integrity Section. This Headquarters’ consultation policy is set forth in the U.S. DEP’T

14  OF JUSTICE, U.S. ATTORNEYS’ MANUAL (USAM), Section 9-85.210.

15  49. The Public Integrity Section and its Election Crimes Branch are available to assist

16  United States Attorneys’ Offices and FBI field offices in handling election crime matters.

17  This assistance includes evaluating election crime allegations, structuring

18  investigations, and drafting indictments and other pleadings. The Election Crimes

19  Branch also serves as the point of contact between the Department of Justice and the

20  FEC, which share enforcement jurisdiction over federal campaign financing violations.

21  50. A Historic background regarding the election process details many early

22  Enforcement Acts that were put in place to ensure that elections were free from

23  corruption for the general public. Many of the Enforcement Acts had broad jurisdictional

24  predicates that allowed them to be applied to a wide variety of corrupt election practices

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 25 of 40


1  when a federal candidate was on the ballot. In Coy, the Supreme Court held that

2  Congress had authority under the Constitution’s Necessary and Proper Clause to

3  regulate any activity during a mixed federal/state election that exposed the federal

4  election to potential harm, whether that harm materialized or not. Coy is still applicable

5  law. United States v. Carmichael, 685 F.2d 903, 908 (4th Cir. 1982); United States v.

6  Mason, 673 F.2d 737, 739 (4th Cir.1982); United States v. Malmay, 671 F.2d 869, 874-

7  75 (5th Cir. 1982); United States v. Bowman, 636 F.2d 1003, 1010 (5th Cir.1981).

8  51. That after Reconstruction, federal activism in election matters subsided. The

9  repeal of most of the Enforcement Acts in 1894 eliminated the statutory tools that had

10  encouraged federal activism in election fraud matters. Two surviving provisions of these

11  Acts, now embodied in 18 U.S.C. §§ 241 and 242, covered only intentional deprivations

12  of rights guaranteed directly by the Constitution or federal law. The courts during this

13  period held that the Constitution directly conferred a right to vote only for federal officers,

14  and that conduct aimed at corrupting nonfederal contests was not prosecutable in

15  federal courts. See United States v. Gradwell, 243 U.S. 476 (1917); Guinn v. United

16  States, 238 U.S. 347 (1915). Federal attention to election fraud was further limited by

17  case law holding that primary elections were not part of the official election process,

18  Newberry v. United States, 256 U.S. 232 (1918), and by cases like United States v.

19  Bathgate, 246 U.S. 220 (1918), which read the entire subject of vote buying out of

20  federal criminal law, even when it was directed at federal contests.

21  52. In 1941, the Supreme Court reversed direction, overturning Newberry. The Court

22  recognized that primary elections are an integral part of the process by which

23  candidates are elected to office. United States v. Classic, 313 U.S. 299 (1941). Classic

24  changed the judicial attitude toward federal intervention in election matters and ushered

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 26 of 40


1  in a new period of federal activism. Federal courts now regard the right to vote in a fairly

2  conducted election as a constitutionally protected feature of United States citizenship.

3  Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964). In 1973, the use of Section 241 to address

4  election fraud began to expand. See, e.g., United States v. Anderson, 481 F.2d 685 (4th

5  Cir. 1973), aff’d on other grounds, 417 U.S. 211 (1974). Since then, this statute has

6  been successfully applied to prosecute certain types of local election fraud. United

7  States v. Wadena, 152 F.3d 831 (8th Cir. 1998); United States v. Howard, 774 F.2d 838

8  (7th Cir.1985); United States v. Olinger, 759 F.2d 1293 (7th Cir. 1985); United States v.

9  Stollings, 501 F.2d 954 (4th Cir. 1974).

10  53. That over the past forty years Congress has enacted new criminal laws with

11  broad jurisdictional bases to combat false voter registrations, vote buying, multiple

12  voting, and fraudulent voting in elections in which a federal candidate is on the ballot. 42

13  U.S.C. §§ 1973i(c), 1973i (e), 1973gg-10. These statutes rest on Congress’s power to

14  regulate federal elections (U.S. CONST. art. I, § 4) and on its power under the

15  Necessary and Proper Clause (U.S. CONST. art. I, § 8, cl. 18) to enact laws to protect

16  the federal election process from the potential of corruption. The federal jurisdictional

17  predicate underlying these statutes is satisfied as long as either the name of a federal

18  candidate is on the ballot or the fraud involves corruption of the voter registration

19  process in a state where one registers to vote simultaneously for federal as well as other

20  offices. United States v. Slone, 411 F.3d 643 (6th Cir. 2005); United States v. McCranie,

21  169 F.3d 723 (11th Cir. 1999); United States v. Howard, 774 F.2d 838 (7th Cir. 1985);

22  United States v. Olinger, 759 F.2d 1293 (7th Cir. 1985); United States v. Garcia, 719

23  F.2d 99 (5th Cir. 1983); United States v. Mason, 673 F.2d 737 (4th Cir. 1982); United

24  States v. Malmay, 671 F.2d 869 (5th Cir. 1982); United States v. Bowman, 636 F2d

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 27 of 40


1  1003 (5th Cir. 1981); United States v. Barker, 514 F.2d 1077 (7th Cir. 1975); United

2  States v. Cianciulli, 482 F. Supp. 585 (E.D. Pa. 1979).

3  54. That as we can see, although election laws may have changed and evolved over

4  the years, Congress has already granted authority to the DOJ to look into and resolve

5  matters that may take away someone's opportunity to vote for an "eligible" candidate of

6  their choice or to verify that there is no corruption, conspiracy, misinformation or other

7  irregularities that may taint an election, whether proven or not.

8  55. The following is a basis for federal prosecution under the statutes referenced in

9  each category:

10  56. Conspiring to prevent voters from participating in elections in which a federal

11  candidate is on the ballot, or when done “under color of law” in any election, federal or

12  nonfederal (18 U.S.C. §§ 241, 242). (Tricking voters into thinking that an eligible

13  candidate is on the ballot is a conspiracy to defraud) In the Conspiracy Against Rights.

14  18 U.S.C. § 241, Section 241 makes it unlawful for two or more persons to “conspire to

15  injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory,

16  Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or

17  privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States” under color of

18  law. The Supreme Court long ago recognized that the right to vote for federal offices is

19  among the rights secured by Article I, Sections 2 and 4, of the Constitution, and hence is

20  protected by Section 241. United States v. Classic, 313 U.S. 299 (1941); Ex parte

21  Yarborough, 110 U.S. 651 (1884). Wherein it is true that a vote for a usurper is NOT a

22  vote! A citizen can not exercise his/her voting right, if there is no equalized candidate to

23  vote for in the same way as a citizen can not sell you his/her neighbor's car if he/she

24  does not hold the title to the car. Therefore, the DOJ has an obligation to make certain

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 28 of 40


1  before a federal election that a presidential candidacies is eligible to hold office. Section

2  241 has been an important statutory tool in election crime prosecutions. Originally held

3  to apply only to schemes to corrupt elections for federal office. Section 241 embraces

4  conspiracies such as to injure, threaten, or intimidate a voter in the exercise of his right

5  to vote, Wilkins v. United States, 376 F.2d 552 (5th Cir. 1967); Fields v. United States,

6  228 F.2d 544 (4th Cir. 1955). Section 241 does not require that the conspiracy be

7  successful, United States v. Bradberry, 517 F.2d 498 (7th Cir. 1975), nor need there be

8  proof of an overt act. Section 241 reaches conduct affecting the integrity of the federal

9  election process as a whole, and does not require fraudulent action with respect to any

10  particular voter. United States v. Nathan, 238 F.2d 401 (7th Cir. 1956). That section 241

11  embraces conspiracies intended to injure. In this case, an injury does NOT even need to

12  occur, nor does anyone have to have conclusive proof of an overt act. In the case of

13  Misers Dunn, Obama, McCain and or Calero only the question has to be raised that he

14  "may not" meet the "eligibility" requirements to become rightfully elected to the office of

15  SOS and or POTUS.

16  57. In election fraud cases, this public official is usually an election officer using his

17  office to dilute valid ballots with invalid ballots or to otherwise corrupt an honest vote

18  tally in derogation of the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth

19  Amendment. See, e.g., United States v. Haynes, 977 F.2d 583 (6th Cir. 1992) (table)

20  (available at 1992 WL 296782); United States v. Townsley, 843 F.2d 1070 (8th Cir.

21  1988); United States v. Howard, 774 F.2d 838 (7th Cir. 1985); United States v. Olinger,

22  759 F.2d 1293 (7th Cir. 1985); United States v. Stollings, 501 F.2d 954 (4th Cir. 1974);

23  United States v. Anderson, 481 F.2d 685 (4th Cir. 1973), aff’d on other grounds, 417

24  U.S. 211 (1974). In failing to fulfill his/her fiduciary duties, our Secretary of State and

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 29 of 40


1  Federal Election Commission officials who allow "invalid" candidates to be placed on

2  ballots corrupts an honest vote and violate the Equal Protection and Due Process

3  Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

4  58. Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law 18 U.S.C. § 242. Section 242, also

5  enacted as a post-Civil War statute, makes it unlawful for anyone acting under color of

6  law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive a person of any right,

7  privilege, or immunity secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United

8  States. Prosecutions under Section 242 need not show the existence of a conspiracy.

9  However, the defendants must have acted illegally “under color of law,” i.e., the case

10  must involve a public scheme, as discussed above. This element does not require that

11  the defendant be a de jure officer or a government official; it is sufficient if he or she

12  jointly acted with state agents in committing the offense, United States v. Price, 383 U.S.

13  787 (1966), or if his or her actions were made possible by the fact that they were clothed

14  with the authority of state law, Williams v. United States, 341 U.S. 97 (1951); United

15  States v. Classic, 313 U.S. 299 (1941). This law would make it a CRIME for ANYONE

16  who knowing acted in concert with Dunn, Obama, McCain and or Calero to cover up his

17  scheme to defraud the American people, by posing as an "eligible" candidate."

18  59. False Information in, and Payments for, Registering and Voting. 42 U.S.C. §

19  1973i(c) Section 1973i(c) makes it unlawful, in an election in which a federal candidate

20  is on the ballot, to knowingly and willfully conspire with another person to vote illegally.

21  Congress added Section 1973i(c) to the 1965 Voting Rights Act to ensure the integrity of

22  the balloting process in the context of an expanded franchise. In so doing, Congress

23  intended that Section 1973i(c) have a broad reach.

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 30 of 40


1  60. If Dunn, Obama, McCain and or Calero or his co-conspirators knowingly

2  registered voters because of a promise upon election, knowing full well that he was NOT

3  "eligible" to hold office, not only did he commit fraud, but he committed a crime against

4  42 U.S.C. Section 1973i(c) that has been held to protect two distinct aspects of a federal

5  election: the actual results of the election, and the integrity of the process of electing

6  federal officials. United States v. Cole, 41 F.3d 303 (7th Cir. 1994). In Cole, the Seventh

7  Circuit held that federal jurisdiction is satisfied so long as a single federal candidate is

8  on the ballot – even if the federal candidate is unopposed – because fraud in a mixed

9  election automatically has an impact on the integrity of the federal election process. See

10  also United States v. Sloane, 411 F.3d 643 (6th Cir. 2005); and United States v.

11  McCranie, 169 F.3d 723 (11th Cir. 1999) (jurisdiction under Section 1973i(c) satisfied by

12  name of unopposed federal candidate on ballot). Any conduct that violates the "integrity"

13  of an election is a CRIME. Obviously, the integrity of this election has been

14  compromised as more internet blogs pick up the story because of Obama's failure to

15  provide the mysterious "vault copy" of his birth certificate. Therefore, the DOJ has an

16  obligation to act, as a silent majority of Americans has already called the integrity of the

17  presidential election into question.

18  61. Section 1973i(c) is particularly useful for two reasons: (1) it eliminates the

19  unresolved issue of the scope of the constitutional right to vote in matters not involving

20  racial discrimination, and (2) it eliminates the need to prove that a given pattern of

21  corrupt conduct had an actual impact on a federal election.; and that this provisions

22  applies as central, because this states that the DOJ can get involved in any matter not

23  involving racial discrimination and it also eliminates the Plaintiff need to prove that a

24  corrupt conduct had an actual impact on the election.

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 31 of 40


1  62. Conspiracy to cause illegal voting. The second clause of Section 1973i(c)

2  criminalizes conspiracies to encourage “illegal voting.” The phrase “illegal voting” is not

3  defined in the statute. On its face, it encompasses unlawful conduct in connection with

4  voting. This is important, because the phrase "illegal" voting has not been defined by

5  statute. Surely, a vote for candidate you know or suspect does not meet the eligibility

6  requirements could be considered an "illegal" vote," because, if it is proven, that this in

7  deed IS the case, the person voting would be committing a CRIME.

8  63. Conspiracy against rights and deprivation of constitutional rights. 18 U.S.C. § 241

9  and § 242. Section 241 makes it a ten-year felony to “conspire to injure, oppress,

10  threaten, or intimidate” any person in the free exercise of any right or privilege secured

11  by the Constitution or laws of the United States” – including the right to vote. (Another

12  CRIME committed by Mr. Obama, in conspiring with the DNC and the rest of his cronies

13  by prohibiting Americans to exercise their rights under law.

14  64. False claims of citizenship. 18 U.S.C. § 911. Section 911 prohibits the knowing

15  and willful false assertion of United States citizenship by a noncitizen. See, e.g., United

16  States v. Franklin, 188 F.2d 182 (7th Cir. 1951); Fotie v. United States, 137 F.2d 831

17  (8th Cir. 1943). Violations of Section 911 are punishable by up to three years of

18  imprisonment as noted; all states require United States citizenship as a prerequisite for

19  voting. Section 911 requires proof that the offender was aware he was not a United

20  States citizen, and that he was falsely claiming to be a citizen. Violations of Section 911

21  are felonies, punishable by up to three years of imprisonment. If Mr. Obama, McCain

22  and or Calero presents himself as a natural-born U.S. Citizen and they are NOT, when

23  he votes in this election, he is committing yet, another CRIME.

1  65. “Honest services” fraud. 18 U.S.C. § 1346 As summarized above, prior to

2  McNally nearly all the circuits had held that a scheme to defraud the public of a fair and

3  impartial election was one of the “intangible rights” schemes covered by the mail and

4  wire fraud statutes. McNally repudiated this theory in an opinion that not only rejected

5  the intangible rights theory of mail and wire fraud, but also did so by citing several

6  election fraud cases as examples of the kinds of fraud the Court found outside these

7  criminal laws. It is noted that the following year, Congress responded to McNally by

8  enacting 18 U.S.C. § 1346, which defined “scheme or artifice to defraud” to include “the

9  intangible right of honest services.” However, this language did not clearly restore the

10  use of these statutes to election frauds. This is because Section 1346 encompasses

11  only schemes to deprive a victim of the intangible right of “honest services,” and most

12  voter fraud schemes do not appear to involve such an objective. Moreover,

13  jurisprudence in the arena of public corruption has generally confined Section 1346 to

14  schemes involving traditional forms of corruption that involve a clear breach of the

15  fiduciary duty of “honest services” owed by a public official to the body politic, e.g.,

16  bribery, extortion, embezzlement, theft, conflicts of interest, and, in some instances,

17  gratuities. Obviously, whether knowingly or not, elected officials and other public

18  servants have breached their fiduciary duty to provide "honest services" to American

19  citizens.

20  66. “Cost-of-election” theory. 18 U.S.C. § 1341 One case, United States v. DeFries,

21  43 F.3d 707 (D.C. Cir.1995), has held that a scheme to cast fraudulent ballots in a labor

22  union election, which had the effect of tainting the entire election, was a scheme to

23  defraud the election authority charged with running the election of the costs involved.

24  DeFries was not a traditional election fraud prosecution. Rather, it involved corruption of

1  a union election when supporters of one candidate for union office cast fraudulent

2  ballots for that candidate. When the scheme was uncovered, the United States

3  Department of Labor ordered that a new election be held, thereby causing the union to

4  incur an actual pecuniary loss. The D.C. Circuit held that the relationship between that

5  pecuniary loss and the voter fraud scheme was sufficient to satisfy the requirements of

6  McNally. The fraud that Mr. Dunn, Obama, McCain and or Calero would have

7  perpetrated on the American people if he were later found out to be ineligible for

8  president will have indeed caused another candidate the presidential election. Worse

9  yet, if it is found out AFTER the election that Dunn and or for that matter Obama /

10  McCain Calero and or whomever did not meet the eligibility requirements to hold office,

11  off votes for Obama/Biden would be "illegal" and "invalid" votes and would therefore

12  should not be counted. Therefore, Biden cannot be President either if an "illegal" and

13  "invalid" vote was cast for any Dunn / Obama / McCain / Calero tickets. That at this point

14  in time the election will, most likely, have to be re-held no matter who would be

15  declared the winner, because the Dunn / Obama / McCain / Calero tickets would have

16  received the most "valid" and "legal" votes.

17  67. Election-related allegations range from minor infractions, such as campaigning

18  too close to the polls, to sophisticated criminal enterprises aimed at ensuring the

19  election of corrupt public officials. Such matters present obvious and wide disparities in

20  their adverse social consequences. In theory the Department must strive to achieve a

21  nationally consistent response to electoral fraud, it is important that federal investigators

22  and prosecutors avail themselves of the expertise and institutional knowledge that the

23  Public Integrity Section possesses in this sensitive area of law enforcement.

1  68. Lastly, Interference in election by employees of federal, state, or territorial

2  governments: 18 U.S.C. §595, Section 595 was enacted as part of the original 1939

3  Hatch Act. The statute prohibits any public officer or employee, in connection with an

4  activity financed wholly or in part by the United States, from using his or her official

5  authority to interfere with or affect the nomination or election of a candidate for federal

6  office. This statute is aimed at the misuse of official authority. Section 595 applies to all

7  public officials, whether elected or appointed, federal or nonfederal. For example, an

8  appointed policymaking government official who bases a specific governmental decision

9  on intent to influence the vote for or against an identified federal candidate violates

10  Section 595. This Code may certainly apply to those officials who used public computers

11  and or facilities to "disparage" Dr. Orly Taitz as shown in FAC Exhibit or Plaintiff for that

12  matter for supporting her and or pursue justice herein, if it can be proved, that the intent

13  was to discredit Dr. Taitz to interfere or "affect" the election process.

14  69. That there is a question to be addressed by every elected official charged with

15  the maintenance of the integrity of the respective State Voter registration database and

16  the EAC for the National integrity of election in that every elected official in regards to

17  the National Voter Registration Act and HAVA and related law must be in compliance

18  with the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 and related law passed by a

19  Congress that had insight, under Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv][b](iii) any US citizen

20  that knowingly assists an illegal alien, provides them with employment, food, water or

21  shelter has committed a felony. City, county or State officials that declare their

22  jurisdictions to be "Open Cities, Counties or States are subject to arrest; as are law

23  enforcement agencies who chose not to enforce this law. Police officers who ignore

24  officials who violate Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv][b](iii) are committing a Section 274

Plaintiff’s Consolidated Response to MTDs- Page 35 of 40


1  federal felony. Furthermore, according to Federal Immigration and Nationality Act of

2  1952, if you live in a city, county or State that refuses to enforce the law for whatever

3  reason, the officials making those rules are financially liable for any crime committed

4  within their jurisdiction by an illegal alien.

5  Plaintiff’s Response Summary in Opposition to Dismissal

6  70. The State of California and its’ agents have denied Plaintiff, a US Citizen equal

7  protection under the law and deprived Plaintiff life, liberty, or property, without due

8  process of law as is guaranteed in the 14th Amendment Section 1. As all persons born or

9  naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of

10  the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce

11  any law, which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;

12  nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of

13  law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

14  71. The State of California and its’ agents as a result of sanctuary policies have

15  denied Plaintiff as a US Citizen and Citizen of California the right to vote for and have

16  adequate proportional representation in the US House of representatives from the State

17  of California and the district in which Plaintiff resides by allowing Aliens to vote and

18  registered without taking affirmation precautions as if evidenced by the clear evidence

19  presented in the matter of the 1996 election fraud infringing the reelection of

20  Congressman Robert K. Dornan then, recently in 2002 election fraud infringing the

21  election of Dean Gardner in that both criminal matters involve the lack of enforcement of

22  law with the California Voter registration database as with the matter complained of

23  herein.

1  72. When a person signs anything under penalty of perjury as with the declaration of

2  registration (which is not an affidavit that requires such affirmation before a living

3  breathing witness) and that when a person is competent for their act signs such

4  statement without a witness such person has taken responsibility for what he/she signed

5  no matter what anybody else may say in the process. The signature on such an un-

6  witnessed statement is an admission against interest that may only be reversed by re-

7  registering to vote or affiliate after being notified for confirmation of the submitted

8  registration form is done by the local county registrar (must be done as per the code)

9  which when done should be the check against fraud ONLY when Mickey mouse or

10  Donald duck returns the confirmation with the signature as the only means of

11  identification.

12  73. To prevent registration fraud we first must go back to an affidavit affirmed before

13  a notary witness who must also sign after verifying the person's identification especially

14  in regards to voter registration as the only means to get a conviction on fraud in that a

15  piece of paper may not be cross examined in court only a person may be cross

16  examined. Of course, without the necessary check by the registrar of the other state

17  databases to verify that the actual signer is (separate from the guarantee of

18  impersonation) not also registered in another state must notify the state registrar there

19  to prevent multiple voting frauds. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 was

20  enacted to wrest control of registration from the firewall protection of a local registrar

21  and giving such control to the devil himself to conduct registration and voting at a

22  distance, and now with the so-called Help America to Vote Act of 2002 has become

23  possible to register, vote and count that vote at a distance too. Therefore, without say a

1  thumb print given by the voter at every election there is no way to stop multiple voting

2  and impersonation fraud.

3  74. That Plaintiff suffers irreparable harm with time as the essence because the

4  ongoing challenge as before the Primary and now after the Primary is without a timely

5  fair hearing in State Court as to the ballot status of Mr. Dunn that as a matter of law

6  requires a hearing on the presentment of certain facts there denied, and with imminent

8  without Plaintiff’s requested relief granted before that printing is done for the November

9  2, 2010 General Election for State and Federal Officers to proceed; and

11  USC Section 1973GG-9: Civil enforcement and private right of action and as related

12  State law similarly adopted to be here as in State Court if the Petition were granted in

13  the matter of irreparable harm to Plaintiff along with those similarly situated with time as

17  USC §1981, §1983, §1985(3) and §1986; and

The Nation’s Worst State Attorneys General
By Hans Bader

Executive Summary
State attorneys general (AGs) are among the most powerful office holders in the country, with few institutional
checks on their powers. A state attorney general, such as Oklahoma’s Drew Edmondson, can bring a politically
motivated prosecution in violation of the First Amendment, yet his victims may well have no legal redress. With
the possible exception of former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, the enormous power wielded by state
attorneys general has received little scrutiny. This discussion of the nation’s half-dozen worst attorneys general,
like its 2007 precursor, seeks to focus much needed attention on their most egregious abuses of power.
The historic function of a state attorney general is to act as the state’s chief legal advisor, charged with
defending the state in court and giving legal opinions to officials on pending bills and policies. In some instances,
attorneys general have been entrusted by state legislatures with enforcing specified laws, assisting district attorneys
in prosecuting serious crimes, and disseminating legal information.
Like other government offices, state attorney general offices were designed to have limited powers, set
forth by their respective state constitutions and statutes. Under all state constitutions, the legislature, not the
attorney general, is given the power to make laws. If the legislature has not specifically given the attorney general
the right to enforce a particular law, then he may be exceeding his authority by bringing a lawsuit under it.
Federal law also limits an attorney general’s power. When a state attorney general attempts to regulate
conduct in another state, that may violate not only state law, but also the Constitution’s Due Process and Commerce
clauses, which forbid any state from imposing its laws on another state or regulating interstate commerce.
Unfortunately, many state attorneys general now ignore these constraints. In recent years, many state AGs
have increasingly usurped the roles of state legislatures and Congress by using lawsuits to impose interstate and
national regulations and extract money from out-of-state defendants who have little voice in a state’s political
processes.
Although abuses are widespread, some attorneys general are worse than others. The greatest harms inflicted
by overreaching state AGs include encroachment on the powers of other branches of government, meddling in the
affairs of other states or federal agencies, encouragement of judicial activism and frivolous lawsuits, favoritism
towards campaign contributors, ethical breaches, and failure to defend state laws or state agencies being sued.

Like other government offices, state attorney general offices
were designed to have limited powers, set forth by their respective state

Federal law also limits an attorney general’s power.6 When a state
attorney general attempts to regulate conduct in another state, that may
violate not only state law, but also the Constitution’s Due Process and
Commerce clauses, which forbid any state from imposing its laws on

Unfortunately, many state attorneys general now ignore these
constraints. Over the past 15 years, many state AGs have increasingly
usurped the roles of state legislatures and Congress by using lawsuits to
impose interstate and national regulations and extract money from out-of-
state defendants who have little voice in a state’s political processes.8
A classic example is the 1998 tobacco Master Settlement Agreement
(MSA). It settled lawsuits against the big tobacco companies by creating
what is effectively a national tax on cigarettes, giving at least $15 billion
of the resulting revenue to politically connected trial lawyers hired

legislative checks on regulation, taxes, and government spending, made
legislative checks on government less transparent, and diverted attention away from their core
regulation, taxes, and responsibilities of defending state agencies in lawsuits and providing legal
advice to public officials.

Criteria for AG Ratings
1. Ethical Breaches and Selective Applications of the Law.
Using campaign contributors to bring lawsuits. Using the
attorney general’s office to promote personal gain or enrich
cronies or relatives. Favoritism towards campaign donors
and other uneven or unpredictable application of the law
(including refusal to defend state laws or state agencies
being sued when plausible defenses exist).

2. Fabricating Law. Advocating that courts, in effect, rewrite
statutes or stretch constitutional norms in order to make new
law—for example, seeking judicial imposition of new taxes
or regulations, or restrictions on private citizens’ freedom to
contract.
3. Usurping Legislative Powers. Bringing lawsuits that usurp
regulatory powers granted to the federal government or other
state entities, or that are untethered to any specific statutory or
constitutional grant of authority.
4. Predatory Practices. Seeking to regulate conduct occurring
wholly in other states—for example, preying on out-of-state
businesses that have not violated state law and have no
remedy at the polls.

1. Jerry Brown, California


The worst attorney general in America is California’s Jerry Brown. One
of the most fundamental duties of a state attorney general is to defend
all state laws against constitutional challenges. California Attorney
General Jerry Brown has abdicated that duty by picking and choosing
which laws to defend, and even seeking to undermine those he disagreed
with (regardless of their constitutionality). For example, he refused to
defend Proposition 8, an amendment to California’s constitution that
prohibits gay marriage—but not civil unions—even after it was upheld
by the state Supreme Court. Absurdly, Brown claimed that Proposition 8
somehow violated the state constitution—even though it is actually part of
California’s constitution.13 Brown also claimed that Proposition 8 violates

Bader: The Nation’s Worst State Attorneys General 5


the federal Constitution,14 even though the Supreme Court and other courts
have already rejected such challenges to state gay marriage bans.15 While
the author of this paper publicly opposed Proposition 8,16 it plainly does
not violate the state constitution.
As The Los Angeles In December 2008, Brown, after previously claiming he would
defend the amendment against a state constitutional challenge, suddenly
Times noted, Brown’s changed position shortly before the deadline for opposing the lawsuit,
decision to switch filing a brief supporting the lawsuit instead. As The Los Angeles Times
noted, Brown’s decision to switch course “at the last possible moment
course “at the last before the court’s deadline, surprised many legal experts. The attorney
possible moment before general has a legal duty to uphold the state’s laws as long as there are
reasonable grounds to do so.”17 And even critics of Proposition 8 admitted
the court’s deadline, that it had plausible legal defenses.18 Indeed, courts have generally upheld
surprised many legal bans on gay marriage against state constitutional challenges, even when
such bans are merely statutory, and not written into the state constitution
experts. The attorney itself, the way California’s is.19 As one civil libertarian put it, Brown
general has a legal “ripped up his job description” when he unilaterally decided not to defend
Proposition 8 in court.20
duty to uphold the Even some liberal law professors criticized Brown’s position.
state’s laws as long as Santa Clara University law professor Gerald Uelmen said that Brown’s
argument “turns constitutional law on its head,” and that he was unaware
there are reasonable of any case law that supported it.21 Goodwin Liu, associate dean and
grounds to do so.” professor of law at University of California, Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School
of Law, said it was “extraordinary for the chief law enforcement officer
of the state to decline to enforce a law—even on the grounds that it is
unconstitutional.” He said, “The chief law enforcement officer of the state
is charged with enforcing laws, even laws with which he disagrees.”22
(After the state Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, it was challenged
yet again in federal court. Brown once again refused to defend it, 23 this
time claiming it violated the federal Constitution—an argument the U.S.
Supreme Court rejected in an earlier case,24 and that has recently been
rejected again by a federal appeals court.25)
Brown also attacked another provision of the California
Constitution, which had been upheld by the federal courts more than a
decade earlier. Article 1, Section 31 of the California Constitution bars
California’s government from imposing racial or gender preferences,
including race-based affirmative action. It was adopted by California
voters in 1996 as Proposition 209, and upheld in 1997 by a federal appeals

6 Bader: The Nation’s Worst State Attorneys General


court.26 In 2009, Brown told the California Supreme Court to ignore this
provision, because, he claimed, it was unconstitutional.27
Brown has also been very aggressive in using lawsuits based on
vague claims of environmental harm to block energy projects in California,
and to regulate beyond the state’s borders. The effect of any individual Brown brought so
project or development on overall global warming, or greenhouse gas
emissions, is microscopic, yet Brown brought so many lawsuits over many lawsuits over
global warming against businesses and local governments that the state global warming
28
legislature curbed his ability to sue local governments.
Brown has engaged in this kind of green activism without regard to against businesses
the effects on the state’s economy. In 2008, he threatened to sue to block a and local governments
proposed water bottling plant in Northern California unless its effects on
global warming were evaluated. Nestlé wanted to bottle water from three that the state
natural springs that supply McCloud, a depressed former lumber town legislature curbed
about 280 miles north of San Francisco that badly needs jobs. The plant
would produce enough water to fill 3.1 billion water bottles.29 Shortly his ability to sue
after Brown’s threat, Nestlé cancelled the project and the 100 jobs the local governments.
plant would have created evaporated along with it.30
Modernization of America’s refineries is critically needed to
maintain a secure supply of fuel.31 The nation has a significant shortfall
in refining capacity, which unnecessarily forces overreliance on uncertain
foreign supplies.32 Despite this need, in 2008, Brown used the threat
of litigation to delay modernization of a refinery by Chevron.33 This
represented a conflict of interest. Brown’s personal fortune came from the
“family oil business,” which received a “fee for each barrel” of oil exported
from Indonesia, in a concession granted by that country’s former military
dictatorship. Chevron’s oil refineries in California are designed to process
Alaskan crude, to compete against oil from Indonesia in California’s
power plant market. 34 Brown has also meddled beyond his own
jurisdiction by pressuring other states to block new power plants within
their own borders.35
Brown’s fundraising practices raise ethical concerns. He collected
$52,500 in campaign contributions from relatives and from a company
his office had been investigating in a public pension fund corruption
probe.36 Using his leverage as state attorney general, Brown raised nearly
$10 million in contributions to favored charities from industries that he
oversees as state attorney general, including utilities, casino operators,
and health care organizations.37 Brown also conducted an investigation

Bader: The Nation’s Worst State Attorneys General 7


of the scandal-prone leftist activist group Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now, better known by its acronym, ACORN,
that has been criticized as a whitewash. ACORN faced a public relations
disaster in September 2009, when the conservative commentary website
BigGovernment.com released a series of highly embarrassing hidden-
camera videos. In the videos, ACORN employees at several of the group’s
offices around the country are seen providing advice to the filmmakers,
a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute, on how to conduct
several illegal activities, including running a prostitution ring.38 In his
report, Brown said that while ACORN did nothing “criminal,” his office
found likely violations of state law.39 Brown closed his investigation
without taking any action against ACORN, despite admitting that it had
committed “highly inappropriate acts,” such as failure to file tax returns,
illegally dumping 20,000 pages of documents, and four instances of
possible voter registration fraud. Worse, Brown criticized the filmmakers
who exposed ACORN’s wrongdoing, claiming their videotape “violated”
ACORN’s privacy—even though the videos were all made at the ACORN
offices’ public reception areas.40

2. Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut


The second worst state attorney general in the nation is Richard Blumenthal.
A left-wing ideologue who has used the power of his office to spread largesse
to cronies, Blumenthal was rated the nation’s worst attorney general in our
January 2007 ratings. Blumenthal has not gotten any better since then, but
the competition for worst AG seems to have gotten fiercer.

The Tobacco Racket


Blumenthal, more than anybody else, is responsible for the multi-state act
of corruption and cartelism known as the Master Settlement Agreement,
which he negotiated along with Oklahoma state AG Drew Edmondson.41
Wealthy trial lawyers across the nation received $14 billion nationally in
attorneys’ fees42 under a $246 billion-plus settlement paid for primarily
by smokers—the alleged victims of the supposed fraud that begat the
settlement.43
The settlement was structured to allow the major tobacco
companies to maintain their market share and raise prices in unison
in order to pass settlement costs on to smokers. Working together,
state attorneys general and major tobacco companies were also able to
force smaller tobacco companies that had never been accused of any

democrat voters in a selected area within the 30th Assembly district.

A red flag came up for this area because of so many new democrats in that area of the district who were
registered to vote between March of that primary and November 2002. "Anyone who's done voter registration
knows that you don't get those kind of numbers." Their hunch paid off.

In that simple questionnaire a $500 dollar award was to be given if it was accurately returned. 2650, believe-
it-or-not were returned. It must have had something to do with the money. Here are the three questions
that they had to honestly answer and return.

1.) Do you live at such-a-such address, and fill in the blank.


2.) Are you a citizen of the U.S.? History of Voter Fraud
3.) Are you working on getting your citizenship ?

Ruth, "A few more than 700 of these questionnaires, according to the U.S. Postal Service - were
undeliverable, no such person, no such address, no such house - and 54 of those people voted."

Continuing with the results, Mrs Gardner stated, "1691 questionnaires were returned by electors. 93
admitted 'in writing' they were not citizens. 273 stated that they were not registered to vote and did not live
in the 30th Assembly district. One woman who lives in Porterville, CA. voted twice, while 69 more admitted
they voted more than once."

Summarizing, Mrs Gardner said, "The bottom line of all these 2650 returned questionnaires, 1318 had voting
irregularities. 37% of the democrat votes were fraudulent and of the 2650 votes we can prove that 905 were
illegal." Electronic Voting Machine Fraud

In Delano a woman who was caught illegally filling out the absentee ballots was finally prosecuted. Her
father, according to Mrs Gardner, was running for city council in Delano and he was elected by 3 - 4 vote
margin. Odds are a deal was struck to lesson the punishment of this crime but the facts remain, voter fraud
was done in Delano and continuing to commit fraud could very well show up in November.

IDENTIFYING A FEW VOTER FRAUDS, SCHEMES AND SCAMS :

http://www.portervillepost.com/politics/Voter-Fraud-Simple.html 10/6/2010
The Porterville Post � | Today's Wednesday, October 6, 2010 Page 2 of 3

"In order to combat voter fraud, you have to know how it's done." Ruth Gardner ...

The basic tried and true "High Propensity Voter" - HPV, is the target of another voter scam. This person
never misses an election. As well, these HPV have a tendency to vote using the absentee ballot.

Your absentee ballot can be easily negated by these perpetrators simply by returning another absentee
ballot in your name. Once the signatures are viewed at the elections department and are found to be
different or changed, they cannot be counted and are then placed in another file or box that's identified as
"Signature Don't Match" and that's the objective of this scam. They know they can't cast a ballot in your
name, however, they can cancel, nullify or negate your vote with a false signature.

The key California law here is this, the last submitted absentee ballot received at the elections department
becomes the official voting ballot signature - but because the signature was a bit different or changed it will
not count. University Exposes Diebold Flaws

Another voter scam is the "Low Propensity Voter" - LPV, Mrs Gardner told the audience. "This is the guy who
most likely isn't even registered to vote. What happens next is the opposition hires shills - people
impersonators. They will travel from poll to poll with a list of names that are typically hanging on the walls
at the voting polls looking to see which one's are eligible to vote at that particular polling place."

Fore the most part, all of the parties have campaign, party and poll workers who go in and check these
names to see who's voted and who hasn't. Many of these lists are updated every hour, so that campaign
worker will call in the names of folks who have yet to vote.

Once they have this poor smuck's name they send in the shill to use the name of that LPV person who has yet
to vote. After they do thses shills go to the next poll, use another LPV name and vote according to how they
were instructed or paid.
HBO : HACKING DEMOCRACY
CAN WE FIX VOTER FRAUD :

According to the Gardner's, it won't be don't by the legislators, the governor or California's Secretary of State
fraud unit. "It's gotta to be done by Californian's changing California's Constitution. It's probably going to take
a revolt, said Dean Gardner - like the prop 13 revolt against high home taxes."

California's voting system can no longer be trusted. The peoples right to cast an honest vote is laughed at by
many from the left. Voting scams have criss-crossed this state for so many years it's not even funny. Once
elected and in power, they find ways to silence officials and special agents who are commissioned to
investigate voter fraud complaints.

Lamenting this problem, Dean Gardner reminded the audience, "that you are required to have a voter ID in
Mexico but not in California, and by-the-way, it's illegal to ask someone for their identification at the polls
and it's a felony for the election worker at that polling place to ask for your ID and you can get up to three
years in prison for asking the question."

Who came up with that law ? Willy Brown (D), Sacramento's past Assembly speaker of the Assembly.

WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW :

First - Go and check your signature at the election department. For many of us in Tulare County the
elections department in located in Visalia. Ask them to show you your signature they have on file. If it is
different, then ask for a copy of what they show you. Odds are that someone came down to the elections
department requesting voter registration cards and re-registered your name with a changed signature. That
someone had to sign with the elections department for those registration cards which are numbered and if
the last registration card they have on file that was changed it could be construed as fraud by who signed for
those registration cards.

Next - and I know this may fluster a few, but re-register with the elections department as a regular voter.
Make sure they understand that you no longer want to be an absentee voter. This will surely send a message
to those at the elections department and hopefully those who are hell-bent on voter fraud.

Third - Make a copy of your new voter registration card before you give it back to the elections department.

Fourth and final - Become a poll watcher. These voter fraud crimes are committed when no one cares and
where there are very few poll observers. Take down the license plate number of large cars and vans which
transport people to the polls. If something looks a little fishy, or something doesn't feel right, take note. Tea
Party people will ... why don't you ?
