December 1, 2015 UPDATE: Seeking help from attorneys.

    I finally decided what to do with the nice letter from Senior Assistant Attorney General Stephen T. Reinmuth. I sent letters of request to a couple of civil rights organizations to see if I could get their attention. With the letters, I also sent copies of Stephen's letter. Perhaps these civil rights attorneys will decide to give me a hand.
    Before I publish my letter of request on this blog, I want to untangle some nonsense that is found in Stephen's letter. You see, these government employees are like most Americans. They are shallow thinkers. They hear a clever cliche and don't bother to think it through. They just go on repeating it as if it is the gospel truth. Then, since they fall for the snippet, they act and perform their duties as if the incomplete cliche is gospel and complete. Then they try to get the public, ME, to fall for the nonsense the same way they do.
    I have already untangled a lot of nonsense coming from government employees, but let me list a couple here. First, I untangled the application and jurisdiction of "Administrative Law." Administrative Law governs the administration of a government program. Administrative law governs people who sign up to participate in the government program. Administrative law does not apply to the general public who has not signed away their constitutionally protected rights in order to participate in the government program. Administrative law does not overrule constitutionally protected rights and liberties. SIMPLE! It can't get any simpler!
    Another bunch of nonsense I untangled is the "Helping the Local Handyman" bill that Rep. Shelley Short introduced to the legislature. These legislators, and all government employees, need to simply uphold our Supreme Law of the Land and repeal unconstitutional legislation, not introduce more nonsensical laws to fix unconstitutional laws. What is so hard to understand about that? Didn't they all take an Oath of Office to support our contracts between We the People and their public servants? It is so frustrating trying to communicate with people who are stuck in la-la land and who willfully refuse to come back to simple reality.
   Okay, the nonsense and deceit in Reinmuth's letter that needs to be untangled is found in his second to the last sentence. "Until there is a change in the electrical contractor law, the Department of Labor and Industries must enforce, and the Attorney General's Office must defend, the law as it currently stands." Does Reinmuth really expect me to fall for that nonsense? Is he forgetting his Oath of Office regarding our Supreme Law of the Land and my right to publish a list of my skills, and my right to a speedy trial by jury? Reinmuth is thinking shallow. He takes his "cliche" directive to mean that he is required to defend legislation, regulations, and statutes that are clearly unconstitutional, thus nullifying our Supreme Law of the Land. Nullifying our Supreme Law of the Land is equal to disregarding his own Oath of Attorney. His position and words to me are completely untenable. Is he really that stupid? Evidently so, and it appears that nearly all government employees are in la-la land doing the same thing. From my perspective, all of this is ridiculous. The citations I received are clearly unconstitutional, and correcting the mistake is way too simple! Yet, the government employees continue to make fools of themselves believing their nonsensical cliches and unconstitutional directives. Our Supreme Law of the Land is written in 6th grade English. It is easily understood by the people who ratified our state and federal constitutions, but these foolish government employees pretend that our constitutions cannot be understood by themselves or by We the People. These government employees defer to to the State and Federal Supreme Courts to tell us what our constitutions really mean. Once again, more ridiculousness! What is a simple and clear thinking person like myself supposed to do with this onslaught of ridiculous nonsense? The citations are absolutely clear nonsense and unconstitutional, yet government employees PRETEND that they are not nonsense! How do you rescue people from PRETEND? How do you pull people out of la-la land when they prefer to invent more nonsense and lies in order to stay in la-la land? SHEESH!  ...at least it is as amusing to me. It should be embarrassing to them! Good grief!
    There, I untangled some more nonsense... Here is the letter I wrote in hopes of getting some help from attorneys who are not in la-la land. [Reinmuth's letter to me is uploaded to my previous UPDATE, November 12, 2015]

November 30, 2015

TO: Attorney

FROM: Russ Hinds


SUBJECT: First Amendment case

Dear Mr. Attorney,
Please find the enclosed letter from Stephen T. Reinmuth, Senior Assistant Attorney General of Washington State, which is in regard to my dispute with Washington Department of Labor and Industries. The dispute is over 2 citations with fines totaling $1500.00 issued to me by WDLI for publishing a list of my skills and posting that list on a private bulletin board in an effort to serve my neighbors and make new friends.
The letter asks me to seek legal counsel in my dispute so that my perspective on the administrative law (RCW 19.28) may be properly presented to the appropriate public servants in charge of interpreting and enforcing the law. In my view, the tone of the letter implies that the public servants would like to have the dispute clarified and resolved correctly according to our state and federal constitutions FOR THEM so that they may do their job better in compliance with their Oath of Office/Attorney. My experience dealing with these public servants makes it obvious that they are doing their job by the seat of their pants without the courage to go against the government employee crowd (the machine) which has disregarded our constitutionally protected rights for the last 5 decades, and more.
It is my belief and hope that correctly resolving the unconstitutional issuance of fines for hanging an innocent flier on a private bulletin board in accordance with our Supreme Law of the Land will result in more confidence and courage on the part of public servants who honestly desire to abide by their Oath of Office/Attorney. Public servants adhering to their Oath will bring back some sanity to out of control government...
From you, I am seeking a phone conversation to discuss ways I may pursue victory in standing up for my constitutionally protected rights. Obviously, I am not pursuing this for my own benefit, but for the benefit of all people who desire the freedom and rights protected in our contract with government employees. However, there is some just compensation desired on my part in order to be made whole regarding the expense of appeals and the income lost due to my loss of liberty and due process of law.
In today's out of control government, if we do not exorcise our rights, we lose them.

Please respond via the address, phone, or email above.
Much appreciation for your time,



Russ Hinds                                                                                            enclosure, 2 pages



I would love to get a response from these attorneys. It would be very refreshing to speak to people who do not reside in la-la land.

November 12, 2015 UPDATE: Better communication; What do I do with this apology and encouragement to get legal assistance?

     On the 6th of November I received an email from the office of Attorney General Bob Ferguson which contained a PDF response to my letter informing them of the embarrassing inaccurate response sent to me by his Assistant Attorney General Linda Williams. This PDF letter is very readable! Wow! How about that? It even contains an apology for the inaccurate first response from Williams. There is also a large paragraph that encourages me to seek assistance from an attorney to find "other legal remedies regarding the constitutionality of the state law in question." He even gives me an email address and a phone number to contact for assistance. This is quite interesting...
   My instant analyzation of this good letter gives me the impression that the whole group of government employees I am dealing with are "just doing their job" without sticking their neck out to make a point of "doing their job according to the plain English of our state and federal constitutions." You see, they want someone to tell them that it is okay to do their job according to our Supreme Law of the Land. They can't make that decision on their own because it might upset the chain of command. This letter makes me feel like I have to do their job for them to get permission for government employees to abide by their own Oath of Office/Attorney. Where is the joy for their own heart if I have to make it safe for them to do their job correctly under the restraints of our state and federal constitutions? There is no joy for them if I do all the work while they remain incapacitated by their self-preservation and fear of upsetting the apple cart. After it is safe for them to come out of hiding, then they may find some joy and relief by doing their job correctly--"correctly" means not ignoring our constitutions while assaulting their neighbors with unconstitutional legislation and enforcement.
    Here is how our state and federal governments have gotten out of control. The lower ranking government employees just go with the flow, following orders without protesting unconstitutional law and directives from their supervisors. The cronies in the top executive offices want to maintain the status quo and pat themselves on the back for "protecting the public," and whatever other bullshit that they want to justify their existence with.  Unconstitutional incompetence run amok! And no government employee has the stones to stand up for their own Oath of Office.
   Meanwhile, I am fascinated at a government employee, a low rank Inspector Phillip Jordan, who willingly MAILS a citation to his neighbor for hanging a truthful flyer on a bulletin board. How can that guy do that? I couldn't do that. If an infraction was worthy of my attention, I would go give the guy a citation face to face, NOT MAIL IT! Chickenshit dipshits working for the government can phone a neighbor and lie to him to get a mailing address, but can't even read the simple English of our state and federal constitutions, AND THEN THE WHOLE CABAL OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES CIRCLE THE WAGONS AROUND THEIR UNCONSTITUTIONAL CITATIONS! And then, when I finally get a decent response from a government employee, that employee wants me to get an attorney to help me fix things for them??? FREAKING AMAZING! Well, I would like to fix things for them, but they can fix it themselves if they will simply abide by their own Oath of Office! Does all this shit seem totally ridiculous to you?
    I won the argument here from the very beginning. I really did. I even correctly pointed out that administrative law does not apply to the general public, and that if it did apply, our state and federal constitutions are Supreme OVER administrative law. Good grief!
    Here is the letter from Senior Assistant Attorney General Stephen T. Reinmuth:
    See? It is a nice letter, but what am I supposed to do with it? Perhaps I will take it to a constitutional attorney if I can find one, and see if he would like to help me fix things for the government employees so that they do not have to be conflicted between following orders and adhering to their Oath of Office.
   Anybody know of a good constitutional attorney? Any other suggestions? Maybe I should run for governor on the platform, "Good neighbors, and good government employees, do their civic duty to uphold our state and federal constitutions." My goodness!

October 15, 2015, UPDATE: Patiently waiting...

     I have waited over a month for a response from my government employee Assistant Attorney General Linda Williams, after correcting her nonsensical correspondence which contained inaccuracies in almost every sentence. Obviously, she does not want to respond to me and correctly resolve my unconstitutional citations--resolve them according to our Supreme Law of the Land and her own Oath of Attorney. Quote from her inacccurate letter which she sent to me: "There is no further action that can be taken on the matter by this office." This just goes to show you what kind of people hold government office today.
    Well, I decided to write again to Attorney General Bob Ferguson. He needs to be kept informed of what his underlings are doing because he likely assumes that they are competently resolving issues when he asks them to, just as he asked AAG Linda Williams. If he never hears from me again, he will naturally assume that all has been taken care of...
    It has not been taken care of. Here is my letter to Ferguson:

October 9, 2015

TO: Attorney General Bob Ferguson
1125 Washington Street SE
P.O. Box 40100
Olympia, WA 98504-0100

FROM: Russ Hinds
1**** ****  Ln
*****, WA 9****
(509)2**-****

SUBJECT: Important information you may need in order to properly supervise your assistants.

Timeline:
  1. As requested by U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby, I forwarded a copy of my COMPLAINT seeking enforcement of 18 USC 241 and 242 to your office on August 1, 2015.
  2. Your office passed my COMPLAINT down to AAG Linda Williams. Evidently, your office and yourself expected AAG Williams to properly respond to me in order to resolve my COMPLAINT according to Constitutional guidelines.
  3. AAG Williams responded to me with a letter that contained many inaccuracies which I was required to correct in order to maintain simple and clear communication. [AAG William's letter and my response correcting her/our communication are enclosed with this letter in order that you may be kept informed of what your underlings are doing]
  4. My letter correcting our communication was sent on September 5, 2015. Over one month has passed without receiving an acknowledgment of the corrections from AAG Williams.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson,
This letter is informing you of problems within the offices which you are the leader and supervisor. Please make yourself aware of these problems by reading the enclosed correspondence. Your assistant's official correspondence is embarrassing to your office and to you personally. Incompetence and ignorance in government offices concerning our good neighbor civic duty to support our Supreme Law of the Land is an outlandish ridiculous development in today's government employees. Especially, considering the fact that the people's representatives have written U.S. Code 18.241 and 242 in order to provide penalties for government employees who disregard our Supreme Law of the Land.

As of today, I have not received a timely response from AAG Linda Williams. It appears to me that she does not intend to respond to me, choosing instead to ignore the simple constitutional issues which are brought to the fore by my COMPLAINT. Please note that resolution to my unconstitutional fines and loss of liberty could not be made simpler if only government employees would abide by their Oath of Office/Attorney. I'm asking for your personal effort to see that my unconstitutional fines are withdrawn and that all government employees abide by our state and and federal constitutions. ...Please don't embarrass yourself and other government employees any further. We the People have been watching the decline of good government for decades—even trying to head it off! You know what I am saying is true...

Thank you,

enclosures


     Will Ferguson respond to me? I wonder... I don't think that he has the integrity and courage to respond. I'll even place bets on it. Instead of serving We the People under the constraints of our state and federal constitutions, he has a government and a bunch of government employees that he needs to protect and circle the wagons around.
   Isn't it fun learning what your government employees are made of? It kind of blows away your hope that they are doing their job correctly and competently. They need an epiphany back to the Supreme Law of the Land and "Good neighbors do their civic duty to support and abide by our state and federal constitutions."

September 2, 2015, UPDATE: I received a response from WA Attorney General Bob Ferguson regarding my letter and COMPLAINT.

     It is both amusing and annoying... What can I say? Attempting to communicate with government employees about things that they do not want to deal with is amusing and annoying. The documents I sent to AG Bob Ferguson were passed on to an assistant attorney general in the Labor and Industries Division. Obviously, Ferguson did not want to supervise his underlings in Labor and Industries Division. He did not want to keep himself informed of what his underlings are doing...
     Government is a mess because there is no leadership at the top who insist on all government employees following their Oath of Office. The primary focus of all government employees is revenue generation and protecting their job. That is it! That is all they care about. Government is corrupt.
     Here is the incomprehensible letter from AAG Linda Williams:


    She says in her first sentence that I left a voice mail. I didn't. Is she confusing me with another annoyed victim of unconstitutional bureaucratic citations? Good grief! I had to respond in order to correct her inaccuracies. What a mess! These people are pitiful! Here is my letter back to her, mailed today:
September 5, 2015

TO: Assistant Attorney General Linda Williams
Labor & Industries Division
P.O. Box 40121
Olympia, WA 98504-0121

FROM: Russ Hinds
1****** **** Ln
Elk, WA 99009
(509)2**-****


Dear AAG Williams,

Thank you for your written correspondence dated August 21, 2015, regarding my packet of documents which I sent to AG Bob Ferguson as instructed by U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby. However, I do not appreciate being totally confused by the inaccurate statements made in your correspondence!

Your first sentence thanks me “for your recent voice mail.” Sorry, I have not left a voice mail with AG Ferguson's office. I simply followed Ormsby's instructions to seek resolution through the WA AG's office by sending Ferguson a copy of my Complaint seeking enforcement of 18 USC 241 and 242, which was filed with Ormsby's U.S. Attorney's Office.

Your next paragraph points out that your office cannot “provide legal advice to citizens.” I am not looking for legal advice, I am looking for government employees who will competently take actions according to their Oath of Office/Attorney and correct bureaucratic over-reach and violations of our Supreme Law of the Land. May we have an honest conversation “citizen to citizen” regarding your constitutional directives as a public servant to support our Supreme Law of the Land? Good neighbors do their civic duty to support our Supreme Law of the Land. Much life, limb, and treasure has been given to defend our Supreme Law of the Land and preserve it for our posterity...

Now, I regret to say that it is impossible to communicate with neighbors employed by the government who seem to communicate in inaccuracies and wrong assumptions. For clarity of understanding between you and I, let me correct your letter by sentence. Your words are in italics:
“Your complaint and phone message indicate that you plan to file a lawsuit for the violation of your constitutional rights.”
There was no phone message. Are you confusing my correspondence with another victim of government over-reach who phoned your office in distress seeking relief from public servants who ignore their Oaths of Office and our Supreme Law of the Land? Please help the poor guy! He is your neighbor, not an enemy of the state!
As you should be able to see from the correspondence I sent you, I do not intend to file a lawsuit, rather, I am continuing to look for government employees who will do their good neighbor civic duty to uphold and abide by our state and federal constitutions and correct the mistakes of bureaucrats who issue citations which fine people for posting truthful fliers on private bulletin boards in violation of our 1st Amendment to our Bill of Rights. Then, these same bureaucrats deny their good neighbor the constitutionally protected right to a speedy trial by jury of good neighbors.
The correspondence I sent you clearly seeks enforcement of U.S. Code 18 242 and 241 through the office of U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby. His office, along with the FBI, are charged with enforcing the U.S. Code. Are their any government employees who will do their job competently and with good conscience? That is all I am asking. We have state and federal constitutions which were written expressly for government employees to do their job by. I do not need to file a lawsuit to ask my government employees to do their job correctly. Now, I know that is not difficult for anyone to understand, however, government employees and politicians have been ignoring our Supreme Law of the Land for so many decades, it may take an epiphany on their part to bring them back to simple reality. Please have that epiphany, if you can.
According to the constitutions, the powers of government are divided into three branches, NOT CONSOLIDATED IN THE BUREAUCRACY. Meaning--according to our state and federal constitutions, bureaucracies cannot write regulations, statutes, and laws; enforce regulations, statutes, and laws; and adjudicate regulations, statutes, and laws. Our Declaration of Independence was written because the king's minions were doing just that to the colonists at the time prior to the U.S. Revolutionary War, 1775-1783. [Why do I have to write this stuff for my government employees?]
Based on the paperwork you submitted, it appears that you did not prevail in your proceedings with the Office of Administrative Hearings.”
After denying my request for a speedy trial by jury, Administrative Law Judge Mark Kim made it illegal for himself to abide by his Oath of Attorney by stating quote, “The Office of Administrative Hearings is unable to render an opinion regarding the constitutionality of 19.28 RCW. Addressing these arguments falls outside of the scope of what this Tribunal has authority to address. '[T]he power of an administrative tribunal to fashion a remedy is strictly limited by statute.'” How crazy is that? Good neighbors do their civic duty to uphold our Supreme Law of the Land. Does ALJ Mark Kim believe that his civic duty has been removed from him by statute?
Our records indicate that you appealed this decision to the Spokane County Superior Court, where the decision of the Administrative Hearings Board was affirmed.”
Both judges, Marianne Mareno and Gregory Sipolt, each hearing one of the two citations issued for the same flier on the same bulletin board on the same day, denied my requests for my constitutionally protected right to a speedy trial by jury. Evidently, they decided to pretend that our state and federal constitutions do not exist, and that their Oaths of Office do not exist. Both judges ignored my right to publish a list of my skills, and agreed with AAG Angela Zurlini, when she incorrectly stated in her trial brief, “Mr. Hinds does not have a right to a jury in this case.” Zurlini simply threw our Supreme Law of the Land out the window. The citations could have been resolved in less than six weeks if my constitutionally protected right to a speedy trial by jury would have been granted hastily following the issuance of the citations. Dozens of government employees making a mockery of justice and conducting a circus of nonsense attempting to convince me that I am a bad neighbor who deserves to pay the government employees $1500.00 for hanging an innocent flier on a private bulletin board simply is not going to work with me. If government employees accuse me of being a bad neighbor who is a danger to his neighbors in order to justify fines and loss of liberty, then we have a constitutionally prescribed process to determine guilt or innocence, the speedy trial by jury. What I am writing here in this letter is simple and clear. Any good neighbor on a jury panel would be able to clearly understand what I have written here. AND, that is exactly why government employees have denied my constitutionally protected right to a speedy trial by jury in order to preserve their “policing for profit” scheme. Bureaucracies get away with their schemes because our neighbors know that our public servants will not abide by their Oath of Office and that it costs more to dispute an unconstitutional citation than to just pay the fine. Me thinks you guys are not supposed to work that way.
The Washington State Court of Appeals further agreed with the Board.”
The Washington State Court of Appeals did not rule on the Board's decision. Rather, my Request for  Fee Waiver was denied by the Washington State Supreme Court. The Court of Appeals never heard my case.
Although your fine was reduced, it is clear you were dissatisfied with the outcome.”
Neither of the unconstitutional fines were reduced. I am dissatisfied with the outcome, and I am dissatisfied with communication that contains so many inaccuracies that it makes communication impossible.
Further, your letter expresses your frustration because you were cited because you put up a flier indicating that you perform electrical work.”
I have been performing electrical work since the time I was in high school, then throughout all of the jobs I have had in construction, maintenance, and government employment. I have never sought government permission to perform my services for my employers or any of my good neighbors who needed my services.
While I empathize with your exasperation, there is no further action that can be taken on the matter by this office.”
Constitutionally bound public servants should not exasperate the public whom they are supposed to be serving under the constraints of our state and federal constitutions. In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.” THOMAS JEFFERSON
There is more your office could do in keeping with your Oath of Office/Attorney, but your “empathy” is appreciated. Good grief! Why not be a normal human being and give a care about our Supreme Law of the Land and the life, limb, and treasure sacrificed to preserve the Supreme Law of the Land? What “invisible hand” is keeping you from being a normal human being who cares about her neighbors?
I understand that you plan to file a lawsuit.”
No, I do not plan to file a lawsuit. That would be a waste of time and money. However, I am still looking for government employees who are willing to abide by our state and federal constitutions, and their Oath of Office/Attorney. I have all the evidence you need in order to correct and constrain out of control bureaucracies and government employees. Just ask for the evidence, and I will gladly provide it to you.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly to address further concerns.”
I have contacted you directly through this letter in order to address further concerns. My letter is written in simple English which any literate American ought to be able to understand. The points that I made are clear and concise and cannot be refuted because they are true. It is your duty as a public servant to abide by and preserve our state and federal constitutions for ourselves and our posterity. If you cannot bring yourself to do your civic duty, then you should not be in public office.
As a citizen not employed by the government, I have limited resources to hold government employees to their Oath of Office. That is precisely why we have Oaths of Office for our public servants!
Obviously, the vast majority of public servants ignore our Supreme Law of the Land and their own Oath of Office/Attorney while they use the full force of government resources to obliterate an individual's rights and liberties. WASHINGTON STATE CONSTITUTION Article 1 Section 1 “All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.”

You, Linda Williams, have our state and federal constitutions to back you up should you decide to uphold them rather than pretend that they do not exist. Please do not follow the crowd employed by the government who are blindly leading our once great country into tyranny in order to generate revenue and protect their jobs. Please feel free to call or write. I would love to hear from you again.
Sincerely, 
Russ Hinds
    My goodness! Am I communicating with children? Are there any adults employed by government? Can I maintain any hope for government employees? Can they be saved? Can they be taught to abide by their Oath of Office/Attorney?
    Children like to play "pretend." Make believe land is great fun for children. Government employees like to pretend unalienable rights do not exist. La-la land is great fun for government employees... They like to pretend that the people they persecute and extort are bad guys... because that generates revenue for their salaries, benefits, and pensions...
    They need the epiphany out of la-la land...

August 2, 2015, UPDATE: Finally got a response from U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby regarding my COMPLAINT in federal court.

    On July 20, 2015, three months after sending U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby a copy of my complaint, I received a letter from ??? ...well, it is hard to tell who it is from. There are 3 different names on the signature line. Ormsby's name is typed first, an illegible signature followed by "for" is under Ormsby's typed name, and Arne Ahmed, Assistant U.S. Attorney is under the handwritten signature. I think the practice of signing documents by persons other than the writer of the document is pretty new. I was raised to take responsibility for my words and actions. If my office needed to send out a document under my authority, I would take the 3 seconds to review it and sign it myself. ---It used to be that way, but when I worked for the National Park Service in the '80s I noticed a lot of silly things going on. I needed to correspond with the GSA motor pool coordinator and was told how to write my correspondence. I wrote my letter my own way, diffused a controversy, and corrected an error in the procurement of 2 vehicles for the National Monument where I worked. The GSA motor pool coordinator and I got along very well after that because I did not attempt to demand and bully him in changing the vehicle replacements from pick-ups to SUVs. I simply pointed out that I wanted to work with him to make his job easier, and that I did not want to be opponents at loggerheads.---
      Anyway, Ormsby's letter is short, claiming that he does not accept complaints from citizens, and that I need to work through Washington state's Attorney General. LOL! How crazy is that? I mean the Assistant Attorney General Angela Zurlini has been my opponent in my APPEALs.
     It is standard procedure for government employees to avoid taking responsibility while passing the buck. They also like to misdirect us "ignorant citizens" who have a "personal problem with government and government authority." Put the disgruntled citizens on a wild goose chase to get them distracted and off the plate. That is the best way for government official to dodge adhering to their Oath of Office when adhering to it would make waves within the government system of things. We used to have statesmen who would stick their neck out to guard our Supreme Law of the Land. We don't have those anymore, and certainly not in the bureaucratic levels of government. Grabbing the ball and rocking the boat by curtailing out of control government upsets too many government employees. Bureaucarts love their jobs, and if they are painted in a bad light, they get very upset. Ormsby sure as heck does not want to enforce U.S. Code 18.241 and 242 by charging the WDLI inspectors, AAG Angela Zurlini, and the two Superior court judges for violating the U.S. Code.
    Here is the letter from Ormsby's office:
     Do you see what We the People are up against?    We are up against human nature. It is natural for government employees to protect government and other government employees. It is not human nature to admit mistakes by government and government employees. Admitting mistakes upsets a lot of people, especially the ones who made the mistakes. And the ones who made the mistakes in my case are many. It includes a whole department of state government that has been "policing for profit" for a long, long time. That is a huge, HUGE mistake that would entirely overturn the apple cart in Washington State government, showing that all the government paid lawyers who went along with the nonsense to be incompetent in their duties and disregarding their Oath of Attorney. It has taken decades for government incompetence and misuse of authority to move from where it was in 1950 to where bureaucracy is today. Turning the apple cart around would bring a huge shock to state and federal government. Maintaining the status quo is the standard for all government employees because that is much easier than admitting government overreach which might result in government employees losing their jobs by downsizing government.
     That is what it is... That is the simple truth, and little ol' Russ is making a fuss. He needs to be "the bad guy," the "disgruntled citizen who has extreme disdain for government." Well, I do not have extreme disdain for government. Good government is necessary, however, what we have now, after 50 years of disregarding our Supreme Law of the Land, IS NOT GOOD GOVERNMENT!
    Here is my letter back to Ormsby with further inquiry into who exactly has my COMPLAINT:


August 1, 2015

TO: U.S Attorney Michael C. Ormsby
Suite 340 Thomas S. Foley U.S. Courthouse
P.O. Box 1494
Spokane, WA 99210-1494

FROM: Russ Hinds
***********e

SUBJECT: Further inquiry regarding Complaint Seeking enforcement of 18 U.S.C. 241 and 242

Mr. Ormsby,
Thank you for sending my Complaint Seeking enforcement of 18 U.S.C. 241 and 242 directly to the FBI as stated in the letter your office sent to me dated July 17, 2015 [copy attached]. I appreciate all efforts to resolve the issues cited in the Complaint, however, your letter fails to note exactly who in the FBI has received my Complaint. Who may I contact regarding the status and resolution of my complaint?
Did your office, or the FBI offices, assign a tracking number to my Complaint? Please provide the name of a local FBI representative to whom I may personally submit my complaint so that I may be kept informed of the process, progress, and official record regarding proper resolution of the Complaint. I am having a tremendous amount of difficulty finding a government employee who will joyfully take up the task of upholding our Supreme Law of the Land and our U.S. Code 18. 241 and 242.
Let it be on record here in this letter that I have been given the run around by the gentleman who answers the 1-800 number for the local FBI offices. It turns out that he works from an office in Washington DC, and he will not cooperate by giving me an address to officially submit my Complaint with the FBI.
Let it also be noted that I am making every reasonable effort toward submitting and resolving my Complaint with the proper person(s) responsible for enforcement of our U.S. Code according to their Oath of Office to uphold our Supreme Law of the Land.
As requested in your letter, I will send a copy of my Complaint to the Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson along with copies of our correspondence. We do need to work together to get proper resolution according to our Supreme Law of the Land. I am more than willing to discuss the Complaint with any and all government employees who are required to bring the Complaint to an intellectually honest and correct resolution, however, I seem to be a sort of “hot potato” or nuisance to government employees who may desire to avoid controversy over our good neighbor civic duty to uphold our Supreme Law of the Land. [Note the irony!]
Please provide me the name of the person with the FBI to whom you sent my Complaint so that I may be kept informed and included in the timely process and resolution. The issues within the complaint have spanned almost 4 years, a ridiculous amount of time! And over this time period there has not been any government employees who are willing to be accountable for their actions and/or lack of action. For an example, please note the ridiculous signature on your letter to me:

Cathy Harris [? illegible] for
Arne Ahmed, Assistant United States Attorney

--under your--

Very truly yours,
MICHAEL C. ORMSBY, United States Attorney.

Who is “Cathy Harris?” Is she the mail clerk? The fall guy? The lowest rank government employee with the least amount of protection from accountability? I used to work for the federal government. I know how government employees desire to avoid being held accountable for their actions and/or lack of action. Muddling up simple issues which can be clearly and correctly resolved by adhering to our Supreme Law of the Land is common among government employees because there is a large block of high ranking government employees who have deliberately placed the simple 6th grade wording of our Supreme Law of the Land in dispute and debate in their effort to increase the size and power of government.
My Complaint is a wonderful way of educating government employees to find the joy of being good neighbors who do their civic duty to uphold our state and federal constitutions. Many of our good neighbors have given life, limb, and treasure under their Oath to “defend our constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic” in war and foreign conflicts [my father and 3 of my sons included]. It seems to me that the risks assumed by our military servicemen are much much greater than the risks of ranking bureaucrats who cowardly desire to avoid accountability and the controversy that may be generated by competently and confidently taking a stand “defending our constitution” in their cushy air conditioned government offices. Is defending our Supreme Law of the Land risky and dangerous in government offices?
I am very much sorrowed by all of the obfuscation, intellectual dishonesty, and lack of accountability that I have witnessed throughout appealing the $1500.00 in 2 citations issued for hanging a truthful flier on a private bulletin board. From the beginning, the inspectors who issued the citations did not sign their names to the citation on the line provided for accountability. Neither did one of the inspectors sign his official statement regarding our phone conversation. This is pitiful and completely embarrassing for government employees! --You will note that I do sign my letters and documents... [and the inspectors mailed the citations rather than handing them to me face to face with a show of credentials! Good grief!]
Neighbor to neighbor, decent human being to decent human being, I am asking for your help. I have been looking for good neighbor government employees who are not afraid of adult conversations regarding such controversial issues such as our Supreme Law of the Land and Oaths of Office/Oaths of Attorney. Please help me further along resolving the issues cited in my Complaint.

Very sincerely,
Russ Hinds

Attachment included


    Integrity... self respect... courage... desire to lead in the right direction according to the Oath of Office... Do government employees have those qualities? Does Ormsby have them? We shall see.
   So, I sent a letter and a copy of my COMPLAINT to Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. What will he do with it? Ignore me for months and months? Toss it in the garbage can? Send me on another wild goose chase, like "Hey Russ, you need to work with the legislature to get the law changed." ??? NO! NO! NO! I do not need to work with the legislature. ALL OF YOU GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES NEED TO ABIDE BY YOUR OATHS OF OFFICE and correct your mistakes!
     We the People are not the problem. We the People do not need training in adhering to our state and federal constitutions. Government employees need training in adhering to our state and federal constitutions, the Supreme Law of the Land!
     If government employees want to deny my right to publish a list of my skills and deny my right to a jury trial of good neighbors, then they need to get We the People to change the Supreme Law of the Land first! We the People have not changed the documents that have chartered our state and federal governments. Incompetent government employees, incompetent government paid lawyers, and incompetent legislators have disregarded our state and federal constitutions for too many decades. No government employee can show me where We the People have changed our Supreme Law of the Land. On the contrary, We the People have given life, limb and treasure to preserve the Supreme Law of the Land for our posterity... simple, simple, simple! Get over it! And admit your mistakes!
   Here is my letter to Washington State Attorney General Bob Feruson:

SUBJECT: U.S. Attorney Ormsby's instructions for the enclosed complaint

Mr Ferguson,
Please find the enclosed correspondence with U.S Attorney Mike Ormsby regarding his instruction to file the enclosed COMPLAINT with your office.
By reviewing the enclosed documents, you will find that I have had a very difficult time insisting that my constitutionally protected rights and liberties be upheld by Washington Department of Labor and Industries employees. Apparently, if We he People do not stand up for our rights and liberties, we will lose them to government employees who seem to willfully disregard our Supreme Law of the Land and our Washington State Constitution.
You may also find benefit from my blog which thoroughly records my efforts to educate government employees concerning our Supreme Law of the Land, the history and significance of our founding principles, and the Oaths of Office/Attorney our public servants are required to agree with prior to taking public office. Blog url: ---------------------

The Washington State Constitution establishes the U.S. Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land and also requires Washington State government employees to “protect and maintain individual rights.”
Hanging a truthful flier on a private bulletin board is protected under the First Amendment to our Bill of Rights.
The right to a speedy trial by jury is protected under our Sixth and Seventh Amendments to our Bill of Rights.


Please help me educate government employees to their good neighborly civic duty to uphold our state and federal constitutions by resolving the issues, and ending the continuing harassment by Washington state government employees, cited in my COMPLAINT according to our Supreme Law of the Land. Resolution is easy and simple, however, intellectual dishonesty has prevailed in almost 4 years of defending myself through the APPEAL process.
Please give prompt attention to my efforts. I look forward to hearing from you about correcting the overreach of Washington Department of Labor and Industries.

Sincerely thank you,
Russ Hinds

   Does Bob Ferguson have the integrity, the self respect, and the courage to do the right thing according to our Supreme Law of the Land? 
    We shall see!  I hope these government employees are learning a lot about the simple truth here...

June 30, 2015, UPDATE: Government employees digging their hole deeper...

    According to the signature date on the following "WARRANT," Jeff Martin, Revenue Agent, filed paperwork with the Clerk of the Court of Spokane County for warrant to collect the $1000.00 "unregistered contractor" fine before he received my letter. Perhaps that was the reason for his phone call, to let me know what their next move was.
   I do not know what Jeff's reaction was to my letter which is in the previous June 17, 2015, UPDATE, as I have not contacted him, nor has he contacted me, except to mail me more paperwork from the court, this WARRANT:




    You would think that an issue over hanging a truthful flier on a bulletin board could be resolved in one face to face encounter between me and the guy complaining about my flyer. However, dealing with government employees is the same as dealing with mechanical robots. They do not hear, they do not reason, and they are not good neighbors. The government does not love you.
   So, what am I supposed to do with this WARRANT? I guess I just stick it in the files with the rest of their nonsensical paperwork. Fools! They remind me of kindergarten children playing "I'm the boss" games. Seriously! These people expect me to play their unconstitutional games with them as if they are the gods of the planet. And they have nothing but time and money from the government coffers to never end their assault. Me thinks this is not how our government was intended to work. It is certainly not intended for government employees to ignore our state and federal constitutions. That is plain and simple and that is all that should be needed to back them off. But, no. I am simply dealing with fools "just doing their job" from top to bottom. Not one of them would willingly stand before a jury of good neighbors and do what they are doing. They do what they do from their desk, form their office, and they won't talk to me in a language that acknowledges our Supreme Law of the Land. I cannot force them to be civilized responsible neighbors. We are at an impasse still. As long as they desire to consider me a bad guy, or a scofflaw, to justify their never-ending assault they will do what they are doing. No one will hold them accountable to our Supreme Law of the Land. I will not play their game by their unconstitutional rules. That is final.
   Bureaucrats acting as lawmakers, law enforcers, and "judge and jury" is wholly unconstitutional. It is wholly tyrannical. It is not how this nation was intended to operate. Our founders of this great nation experienced the same things I am experiencing. Ben Franklin wrote of it in his satire Rules by which a Great Empire May be Reduced to a Small One, 11 September 1773. Here are some excerpts: 

VII. When such Governors have crammed their Coffers, and made themselves so odious to the People that they can no longer remain among them with Safety to their Persons, recall and reward them with Pensions. You may make them Baronets too, if that respectable Order should not think fit to resent it. All will contribute to encourage new Governors in the same Practices, and make the supreme Government detestable.

Are not all government employees secure in their positions and pensions? Government employees "just do their job" according to the Psalm 2 crowd at the top who direct their unconscionable duties and conduct their performance reviews. Every duty and decision is designed to insure that government is always right and always worthy of unquestionable obedience, never mind the Supreme Law of the Land. --And there lies the solution to out of control government employees. Simply make them abide by our state and federal constitutions. 

X. Possibly indeed some of them might still comfort themselves, and say, “Though we have no Property, we have yet something left that is valuable; we have constitutional Liberty both of Person and of Conscience...
... To annihilate this Comfort, begin by Laws to perplex their Commerce with infinite Regulations impossible to be remembered and observed; ordain Seizures of their Property for every Failure; take away the Trial of such Property by Jury, and give it to arbitrary Judges of your own appointing, and of the lowest Characters in the Country, whose Salaries and Emoluments are to arise out of the Duties or Condemnations, and whose Appointments are during Pleasure. Then let there be a formal Declaration of both Houses, that Opposition to your Edicts is Treason, and that Persons suspected of Treason in the Provinces may, according to some obsolete Law, be seized and sent to the Metropolis of the Empire for Trial; and pass an Act that those there charged with certain other Offences shall be sent away in Chains from their Friends and Country to be tried in the same Manner for Felony. Then erect a new Court of Inquisition among them, accompanied by an armed Force, with Instructions to transport all such suspected Persons, to be ruined by the Expense if they bring over Evidences to prove their Innocence, or be found guilty and hanged if they can’t afford it. And lest the People should think you cannot possibly go any farther, pass another solemn declaratory Act, that “King, Lords, and Commons had, hath, and of Right ought to have, full Power and Authority to make Statutes of sufficient Force and Validity to bind the unrepresented Provinces in all cases whatsoever.” This will include Spiritual with temporal; and taken together, must operate wonderfully to your Purpose, by convincing them, that they are at present under a Power something like that spoken of in the Scriptures, which can not only kill their Bodies, but damn their Souls to all Eternity, by compelling them, if it pleases, to worship the Devil.

    Here we have the exact thing I am experiencing, "perplex their commerce with infinite regulations impossible to be remembered and observed." Isn't this true today?  And then "ordain seizures of their property for every failure." Isn't the above WARRANT seizing my property just as in Franklin's day? "Take away trial of such Property by jury and give it to arbitrary Judges of your own appointing." Doesn't this hit home with my experiences, too? LOL! Man, this is funny. Administrative Law Judges are just another government employee trying to convince me I owe the government $1500.00 for hanging a truthful flier on a private bulletin board.!  These idiots employed by the government have no idea of their own idiocy! No concept whatsoever of our nation's history and the principles upon which our state and federal constitutions were written. They have no idea of a "public servant" and they have made themselves "public masters." Neighborly interaction between the people and government on a basis of common sense and common decency has become non-existent. In fact, every interaction has become adversarial from the courtrooms down to the Departments, WDLI and DMV especially noted. 
    Question: Why aren't our government employees, law makers, lawyers, and judges aware of the writings of our founding fathers? For me to attempt to communicate "founding principles" with people who are oblivious and ignorant while they seek first to protect the positions they hold in government is obviously an effort in futility. That is why the objective of this blog is to educate them and the public whom they are sworn to serve under the constraints of our state and federal constitutions. 
    Notice that I should not be required to do this. I should be able to take comfort in our state and federal constitutions and in the government employees who swear an Oath of Office to support those constitutions.
    This blog is clear and complete proof that government employees are the problem. We the People are not the problem!
     Let it be said here that there has been a deliberate effort of the Psalm 2 crowd to gain positions of authority and influence in all the institutions that created and maintained this once great nation.  The Psalm 2 crowd has successfully taken over government, education, media, banking, and commerce. They have done this successfully since 1913 when the power to print America's money was given to international banking interests. The banking and corporate interests have published their designs and intentions to bring the Earth under their rule in the form of their "New World Order." And they have exploited the ignorance of government employee minions like Jeff Martin, Revenue Agent, and also the ignorance of our elected representatives. If in failing to gain cooperation by ignorance and deceit, they moneyed powers have bought and paid for government employees and representatives who will carry out their agenda of managed economy, commerce, and travel. Liberty and unalienable rights GONE!



      I pray that our neighbors employed by the government will soon come to their senses and do their good neighborly civic duty to support and defend our Supreme Law of the Land, for ourselves and our posterity. Idiots governing idiots doesn't work, just as Daniel Webster said...
   Wake up people! Get ahold of your family and friends who are employed by the government and educate them in the simple truth. Teach your children the simple truth... lest they be taught to worship their government masters.

June 17, 2015 UPDATE: Got an unexpected phone call from WDLI

    Jeff Martin from the Spokane office of Washington Department of Labor and Industries gave me an unexpected call yesterday morning. He started off by pointing out that he promised me that he would call me when my case was given back to him, or when he found out what the next course of actions WDLI would take. Then he said something that made me laugh right into the phone. Then he tried to get me to agree with the silly justifications WDLI uses to rationalize issue $1000.00 citations to people who hang fliers on bulletin boards. Man, I was rolling in laughter at the nonsense. I was having a good time defending our Supreme Law of the Land, until finally Jeff lost his marbles. He tried to accuse me of putting words in his mouth as an excuse to end the call. I had told him to come get me and put me in jail. If I am a bad neighbor come get me and put me in jail. I don't even think he got out his main reason for calling me. I guess I hurt his feelings, or perhaps our Supreme Law of the Land hurt his feelings. ...they know what they are doing is wrong... good grief!
   I had to follow up the call with a written letter. Perhaps it will put gonads between his legs. He needs the courage to do the right thing and stand up to the nonsense foisted on him by is supervisors up the chain of command. Here is the letter:

June 17, 2015

TO:      Jeff Martin, Revenue Agent
            Dept. of Labor and Industries
             901 N Monroe Street, Suite 100
            Spokane, WA 99201-2149

FROM: Russ Hinds, good neighbor

               ****WA 9****
               *** *** ****

SUBJECT: Follow up on June 16 phone conversation

Dear Jeff Martin,
       I want to thank you for the unexpected phone conversation we had yesterday morning. I love it when good neighbors can get together to talk honestly and frankly. However, there does arise a problem in every frank and honest conversation/disagreement. One party to the conversation/disagreement has to be right and correct on the issue being discussed and debated, and that simply leads to the other party being wrong and incorrect. Unfortunately for you, I am right based on the history of this great nation and based on our Supreme Law of the Land. You and the rest of the Washington state government employees involved in my case are wrong and standing on sinking sand. I have been disappointed and fascinated by my inability to find one government employee willing to be a good neighbor who does their civic duty to support and defend our Supreme Law of the Land.
       I am writing to provide you with a hard copy of the reasons I am right and correct so that you may find the courage to stand with me and pass this letter up your chain of command. First, let me drag some honesty out of you by pointing out that YOU DO KNOW that government has been expanding outside the limits of its constitutional restraints for many decades--while educated people like myself have been helplessly watching growth of government boom out of control by trampling the very unalienable rights which are protected in our state and federal constitutions. You may seek to justify this expansion and trampling in any way you choose to delude yourself, but that does not mean that I must join you in your delusions. As you can surely see, I have not been convinced by dozens of government employees to join in their disregard of our Supreme Law of the Land, and you must know how disappointed I am in those government employees who have gone so far as to disregard their own Oath of Office and Oath of Attorney. Truly, government employees ought to be ashamed to trample on the life, limb, and treasure of those who have given all to “defending our U.S. Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic” for our posterity, yours included. Also note that I have been quite amused at the rationalizations containing twisted word definitions, and the false justifications put forth by government employees to assuage their conscience while they obliterate the very documents which govern the conduct of government employees. (Example: Inferring that “advertising,” posting a flier on a bulletin board, is not constitutionally protected free speech is ludicrous. Thinking that you can convince me to fall in line with that nonsense is delusional.     Deluding yourself with twisted rationalizations and false justifications to go along with your supervisors in order to continue “just doing your job” to collect a paycheck is shameful. Too many men and women of weak character have sought the security of government employment throughout history, and that has led the individuals of weak character to commit crimes while “just following orders.” Note the Nuremberg trials following WWII) You ought to be smarter than that.
      For you and your supervisors up the chain of command, I stand on solid ground here:
  1. The Washington State Constitution, Article 1 SECTION 1 states: All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights. Fining your good neighbor $1500.00 for hanging a flier on a private bulletin board is definitely not “protecting and maintaining individual rights.” Preventing your good neighbor from participating in the free exchange of goods and services is not “protecting and maintaining individual rights.”
  2. The Washington State Constitution, Article I SECTION 2 states: The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land. The U.S. Constitution contains a Bill of Rights which protect the rights of the individual people of the nation. Free speech is protected in Article I of the Bill of Rights. The right to a speedy trial by jury is protected in Article VI and VII of the Bill of Rights. Depriving your good neighbor of liberty and property without due process of law(obtaining a conviction from a jury of good neighbors) is strictly prohibited under Article V of the Bill of Rights. --WDLI has violated Article I, V, VI, VII of our Bill of rights. In a nation that seeks to uphold the “rule of law,” it is ludicrous to ignore and disregard the Supreme Law of the Land. Ignorance of the Supreme Law of the Land is no excuse for government employees, either. After almost 4 years of arguing with government employees I am forced to conclude that some kind of mental illness or insanity has crept into the current crop of government employees. This letter is another one of my attempts to correct that.
  3. The People of the great state of Washington elected representatives to the Federal Government in order to maintain our constitutional republic and to uphold and protect our Supreme Law of the Land, thus defending the liberties and rights which are expressly protected in our state and federal constitutions. Our representatives in Congress found it necessary to codify and provide penalties for crimes such as depriving individuals of their constitutionally protected liberties and rights. They provided “teeth” to the constitution. U.S. Code Chapter18 Section 242 states: Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death. Are Washington state government employees attempting to bully me into believing that I am a bad neighbor who owes the government employees $1500.00 for hanging a flier on a bulletin board unaware of 18 USC 242?

      Jeff Martin, based on the above foundations, and on logical common sense and common decency, I have clearly won the argument over WDLI employees unlawfully fining your good neighbor $1500.00 for posting a flier on a bulletin board. However, it appears that our Washington state government employees need to find the joy of upholding our Supreme Laws of the Land, rather than insanely obliterating them. Our predecessors found the joy of writing and defending our Supreme Law of the Land for their posterity, but this long drawn out argument with WDLI has made it clear to me that government employees are being misled and misguided into perverting our state and federal constitutions. And, I can find no one in Washington State government who is standing on their Oath of Office to correct the problem. However, I did find some hope in this ruling by a federal judge: Judge Rules Administrative Court System Illegal After 81 Years http://armstrongeconomics.com/archives/33280
    Perhaps the state of Washington ought to bring its Administrative Law into compliance with our state and federal constitutions. Administrative Law applies only to the administration of a program which only includes the individuals who have signed up to participate in the program and agreed to be under the administrative law governing the program. Administrative Law does not apply to the general public who are not participating in the government program and have not agreed to be governed under Administrative Law.
     Once again, it is obvious to both you and I that government has expanded beyond the constraints of our Supreme Law of the Land over the last 6 decades, or more. Once again, I have communicated simply and clearly at a sixth grade level. I was taught in sixth grade that good neighbors do their civic duty to uphold our Supreme Law of the Land. I hope you have the comprehension skills and honesty of a sixth grader. Sixth graders also know what an Oath of Office means, and even they wouldn't delude themselves into breaking their Oath of Office in order to assault the sensibilities, threaten, bully, and fine a good neighbor.
      If perhaps, our phone conversation ended before you got to mention the reason for your call, please call again, or write to my address at the head of this letter. I will be happy to assist in any way I can. Also, don't forget that you can update yourself concerning this argument and my efforts to correct government employee errors on my blog, Man Fined $1500.00 for Looking for Job.

There you have it. I am still looking for government employees who desire to be good neighbors who do their civic duty to uphold our Supreme Law of the Land. Crazy! Aren't they?  I actually enjoy respecting the life, limb, and treasure given to preserve the rights and liberties that are protected in our state and federal constitutions for our posterity. Why can't government employees find that joy? They need an epiphany!

June 3, 2015, UPDATE: Responses from Federal Representatives.

     Only 2 of my U.S. Representatives responded to my request for assistance. Senator Patty Murray declined to help by pointing out that it is illegal for the legislative branch of government to hold the judicial branch of government accountable to their Oath of Office.
     Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers declined to help because my issue is a state issue and she stated that I need to contact my state representatives.



   There is little more I can say. Obviously, these people do not want to do their job correctly. Therefore, they find ways that permit themselves to justify ignoring their Oath of Office. Cathy wants me to contact my state legislatures, which the info I sent her clearly states that I have already exhausted all state remedies. Patty says that she cannot hold other government employees accountable to their Oath of Office. George Washington would disagree with her. 
    Both of them fail to take into account 18 USC 242 and 241. Are they simply ignorant of the U.S Code? Or are they living in la-la land while pretending that it is not their civic duty to confront unlawful government employees?
    I think they are both caught up in the web of nonsense. I really believe that they have no idea what they are doing. I think they are being led around by the ring in their nose. I think they are incapable of reasoning on the foundations our country was founded upon. I think you could put any high school sophomore in their seats in congress and there would be little change. The masters of deception and manipulation have the ring in their nose. The freedom and the rights protected in our Supreme Law of the Land are gone. Government employees are now our masters. They will tax, and fee, and fine at will.
    Pretty sad... Apparently, the American peoples' government representatives will not wake up without a shaking of the earth catastrophe, or an attempt to place 90% of the population into prison. Only a few individuals like me in America will stand behind the principles of our Supreme Law of the Land. The majority of Americans will not wake up until they are the ones placed in the bullseye of the government employees.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemoller speaking of Hitler's NAZIs. 
God help us. 
    No one can say to me that I did not do all that I could do... That is the fact, Jack!

May 13, 2015, UPDATE: Correspondence with my Federal Representatives.

    EDIT: After stepping away, and then rereading this UPDATE, I can see my frustration growing as this nonsense continues on to 4 years...Oh wow! I guess I lost a week there! Looked at the calendar wrong and wrote the dates one week ahead of time. Oh well... Probably won't make much of a difference with government employees and other who lack the heart to care about important things and frivolous things.

    After giving U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby over 30 days to respond to my COMPLAINT and let me know what action he is planning, I have heard absolutely nothing. It won't do any good to call his office again because he won't return my phone calls. What is the matter, Ormsby? Are my COMPLAINT and the attached STATEMENT OF THE ESSENTIAL FACTS too simple and thorough for you? Are you afraid to do your job and confront your fellow government employees? This is serious business, Ormsby. Men have fought and died to preserve the rights and liberties which are protected in our Supreme Law of the Land for their posterity. Ignorance of the Supreme Laws of the Land is no excuse for government employees who wish to abide by the "rule of law." What is that, you say? You say, "The 'rule of law' only applies when government employees use that phrase against the citizens?" Do you mean that government employees are above the law? Do you mean that government employees are never wrong in their use of "the law." Hmmm... I think you are a coward. One of the worst of cowards. You are a guy who wants to live the life of Riley on the backs of the taxpayers and not get involved in any controversy; especially, any controversy dealing with ignorant out of control government employees. You want guys like me to go away and not bother you by pointing out your job description and the folly of out of control government employees.
    This blog and my exposure of government employees being inept and cowardly could have been avoided at the beginning, and the issue of the $1500.00 citations for hanging an innocent flier on a bulletin board could have been dealt with properly in the beginning by simply giving me my speedy trial by a jury of my good neighbors. The issue of the fines could have been resolved in 3 to 6 weeks had they allowed me due process of law and my right to a jury trial. BUT, ..BUT... the government employees did not want to risk a jury nullifying their misapplication of law. They knew that they would probably lose a jury trial simply because of the outrageous amount of the fines for hanging a truthful flier on a bulletin board. Because they knew that, they elected to put me through their long, drawn out, and costly appeals process while attempting to deceive me and pull the wool over my eyes.
     All of the players involved know that I am saying the simple truth. I saw it in their eyes. The Assistant Attorney General Angela Zurlini knows it. I saw it in her eyes and demeanor. She knew she was railroading me... Superior Court judges Sypolt and Moreno knows it. They put on a show for me, and sided with the government employees to cover their asses, all the while putting up roadblocks and obstacles in order to discourage me and stop me protesting the fines. They knew what they were doing because they themselves would not put up with the same things happening to them.
    Now, U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby does not want to call the government employees to the carpet. He just wants to pretend that my COMPLAINT doesn't exist and never reached his desk. I have the return receipts proving that his office has received my COMPLAINT, but Ormsby chooses to ignore it and ignore my phone calls. Pathetic!
    Well... Perhaps my federal representatives can get a response from Ormsby. I sent a letter and a copy of my COMPLAINT to Senator Patty Murray, who actually got Ormsby his job by recommending to Obama that Obama nominate him for the position. Hmmm... were there favors exchanged? Perhaps not, but corruption in government is rampant. So is outrageous nonsense rampant! I also sent the same letter and copy of the COMPLAINT to Senator Maria Cantwell and Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers.
    Here is the letter I sent to my federal representatives: [the Complaint can be read in my March 26, 2015, UPDATE]

Representative McMorris Rodgers,
I am contacting your office because I have waited over a month for a response from U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby regarding the COMPLAINT that I sent to his office on April 10, 2015. After numerous phone calls to Ormsby's office, I have not been given the courtesy of a call back. Is my simple and fully documented COMPLAINT too scary for him and his office because it requires upholding our United States Code and our Supreme Laws of the Land? Or, is there some other reason why U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby will not communicate with me?
Public servants who ignore their good neighbors is a dereliction of duty in their office of public trust. If Ormsby's office will not communicate with me, I cannot even find out “why” he won't communicate with me.
The issues addressed in my COMPLAINT stem from 2 Washington Dept. of Labor and Industries citations containing $1500.00 in fines for hanging a flier on a private bulletin board, and my being denied a speedy trial by a jury of my good neighbors before my liberties and property can be confiscated by government employees. Being bullied by a gaggle of government employees attempting to convince me that I am a bad neighbor who deserves to pay the government employees $1500.00 for hanging a simple flier on a bulletin board is not “due process of law.”
I have attempted to patiently resolve the issues concerning the WDLI citations for over 3 years, and I have exhausted all the methods provided by the state agencies for resolving the fines properly and according to the “rule of law” -that is the rule of the Supreme Law of the Land, our state and federal constitutions. In my efforts to properly educate government employees, I have now arrived at U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby's office to ask that our U.S. Code 18 USC 242 and 241 be enforced just as it is his responsibility and duty to enforce the U.S. Code according to his job description. I say again, U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby's office is ignoring me.
Could you please contact U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby's office and inquire as to why I have not had my correspondence and phone calls answered? Perhaps the U.S. Attorney will respect your inquiry, and then you could inform me of his reasons for ignoring me. Kind of a silly round-about way of communicating, but perhaps necessary while dealing with government employees who are afraid of the present day controversy surrounding upholding our constitutionally protected rights and liberties, and out of control government.
The enclosed COMPLAINT should bring you up to speed in this case.

Thank You,
 Russ Hinds                                                                                                                          enclosures

      I am very serious about this case and this blog, not because of the $1500.00 fines, but because I want a return to common sense, common decency, and constitutional government. At the present time, government is causing the destruction of civility and dividing neighbor against neighbor. I would encourage my readers to contact the offices of Senator Patty Murray, Senator Maria Cantwell, and Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers and ask that they not ignore my letter and the COMPLAINT. Send a note via fax machine, that way they have a hard copy. --I sent my letter and complaint to the local Spokane Offices

     I sincerely appreciate any reader who will contact the above and encourage them to respond to me with honest answers. I am tending to think that the above may choose to ignore me just like Ormsby has ignored me. You and I are getting a pretty good education on how government employees REALLY work! Perhaps we can help them find the joy of upholding and defending out Supreme Law of the Land. That would be the epiphany that they need.
