Praying to set a Precedent!

 


As I have said many times, this lawsuit is not just about me. Nor is it just about the injustices that I personally have suffered. It is about my Christian brothers and sisters and the persecution that we are all experiencing. I want to make sure that legally this can never happen again.

My late friend used to explain that Russia has less than 100 political prisoners. For most of us, this does not seem right. He then went on to explain that the Russian government oversees most of the economy. If a person does not pull for the party line, that person is prohibited through many different methods of ever holding down a job. In short, in Russia, dissidents are blacklisted and starved to death.

This is exactly what is beginning to happen in America. Our central government has so much control of the economy that they can implement their COVID policy virtually overnight in every major corporation in America and then some. In short, our Federal Government through OSHA is forcing employers to force “unwilling employees to take their shots, take their tests, or hit the road.” (NFIB vs. OSHA, 2022.) The net effect is that people of conscious (Christians) are forced into a lower financial bracket and perhaps even impoverished.

Our American forefathers understood that property is imperative for the purposes of defending one’s self against a tyrannical government. Private property along with the right to contract was considered foundational in our Constitution. Without private property, there would never be the resources to fight another Revolutionary war.

The foundation to fight this plandemic tyranny is in our Constitution and in our law. It is just that it will take a little work to bring this principle to the surface. That is what I intend to do.

The harsh cold reality is that private businesses have no obligation to obey our fourteenth Amendment (rules of due process) or any other amendments for that matter. They are not obliged to protect freedom of speech, nor the right to bear arms, nor the right to freely assemble. (Note that the right to assemble as understood by our founding fathers was never the right to go to a church or a movie theater or a party. It was the right to assemble to talk about overthrowing your tyrannical government.) If management in a private company does not like something about you, they are free to fire you… with one exception: if they become an extension of the government.

Our Courts (and some legislation) have told us that private actors (private companies) are only obligated to obey the Constitution if they become State Actors. Almost a century ago, a woman named Marsh walked into a town and tried to hand out religious tracts. The town charged her with trespassing. She responded by saying something along the lines of “but I am on public property here on the sidewalk. Look, there is the Post Office.” It turns out that she was not. The entire town including the Post Office was owned by the shipbuilding company. She appealed on her First Amendment rights. The Supreme Court ruled in her favor effectively stating that when a private company becomes the town square (and essentially the government); it has the obligation to obey the Constitution.

In my opinion, this is what is going on today. We have an overreaching Biden Administration protruding its tentacles in every aspect of human activity. Private companies, through money and mandate, are eager to do the federal government’s bidding. Private companies have effectively become the public square.

This is a win for Christians. If this same principle is upheld in my COVID case, it will set precedent. No longer will private companies be able to fire employees who do not wish to have anything unclean injected into their bodies. No longer will private companies be able to force private individuals to participate in a tyrannical money-making scheme that profits from genocide.

The Courts have outlined very carefully what is required for a private actor to be considered to be a State Actor. It is not enough that the government comes into every business and tells them how many fire extinguishers they need to have. This has no influence on a company’s hiring and firing policy. The wrongdoing at hand and the government regulation must be significantly intertwined.

 In my strongest opinion, my former company’s decision to place me on unpaid leave and the Biden Administration’s COVID policies were significantly intertwined. At minimum, the mass hysteria created by the Federal Government influenced my former company’s Human Resource Director to require each employee to take a COVID test or hit the road. At a maximum, there is the issue of the money and mandates.

This may not be very Christian of me, but I am praying that Haman gets hung in his own gallows (Esther 7:10). I pray that the same people that forced Christians into lower paying positions will they themselves experience the same. There is a time to forgive and forget. In my opinion, this is not one of them.

I very much want to believe that where we go one, we go all. I pray that my case will open the door for others. If this case sets the right precedent, many others will have the opportunity to file their own lawsuits.

EEOC Reasonable Accommodation for Religious Exemption

 Litigant Lawrence has tried to file a workplace discrimination case with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), however every time he attempts to set up an appointment with them their site states there are no available appointments.  The EEOC requires an appointment to speak with them to review the issue prior to filing a case with them.

 

According to the John Birch Society, employers are required to provide a reasonable accommodation for sincerely held religious beliefs for vaccinations and for testing.  The picture below was taken from their video that is also shown below.

The Litigant Lawrence Lawsuit

 

 

Introduction

 

After a weekend of fasting and asking God where  He wants me in these current events (feeling solidarity toward my Christian brothers and sisters), my co-worker came down with COVID-19 on Monday, October 18, 2021.  By Wednesday my company issued an edict that all employees must test negative for Covid-19 before we could return to work.  After expressing and submitting my Religious Exceptions against testing and vaccines to the Human Resources Director, I was placed on indefinite unpaid leave.   Their company handbook states the following:

 

All employees may request an accommodation when their religious beliefs cause a deviation from the Company dress code or the individual's schedule, basic job duties, or other aspects of employment. The Company will consider the request but reserves the right to offer its own accommodation to the extent permitted by law. Some, but not all, of the factors that will be considered are cost, the effect that an accommodation will have on current established policies, and the burden on operations — including other employees — when determining a reasonable accommodation. At no time will the Company question the validity of a person's belief”  [Employee Handbook, page 83, emphasis added]”

 

It appears they do not follow their company policy.

 

Testing and vaccines go against my core Christian beliefs.  I believe that God created our bodies well and gave us ‘natural immunity’ to fight this virus.  My religious beliefs are documented in my lawsuit “Complaint of Discrimination in the Workplace” which can be viewed by clicking on the link in the right column above.  Below are two verses that were used in the lawsuit.

 

“But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.”  ESV Mat 9:12  

“Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” WEBA 1Co 6:19-20

 

Many of us feel that there is something very wrong with our world.  It feels like we are well into the tribulation prophesied in scripture.  Take the headline below for example:

 

"A new COVID Vaccine could kill 50 Million in the U.S." declares Dr. Judy Mikovits and Dr. Sherri Tenpenny. Source: HealthImpactNews.com.

Many of us are filling out religious exemption forms at our workplaces.  In my opinion Christians might as well be painting a series of concentric circles on their chests.  It is obvious to me that sinister forces occupy the highest levels of government and industry.  We are making ourselves easy targets.

 

I refuse to be pigeonholed.  I do not accept that there are only two escape routes out of this predicament.  This is why my lawsuit is needed.  This lawsuit puts a variety of legal arguments front and center before the Court.  It forces the Courts to abide by the rule of law.  Common Law is supposed to apply to everyone consistently.  If our Courts do not rule consistently  in cases with similar fact patterns, we will expose their bias.

 

This court case is not just about some injustice that I have personally experienced.  It is about all of us who are concerned about justice and desire to follow the Living God.  As Ben Franklin said long ago, "We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately".  I believe in the principle, Where We Go One We Go All.  As Daniel wrote long ago,

 

“the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.” ESV Dan 11:32

 

At this time I am accepting donation for this case – money and pray donations are both needed.  I have zero income right now and my wife only has a part time job.  Since I am not hiring an attorney, my costs will be minimum; however I will have costs associated with this case.  I plan to take this case to the next step and will be making further announcements soon.

About Me

 

Decades ago, after watching my country fall more and more into despotism, I found my way into a patriotic organization that specialized in law.  In some ways, we were visionaries.  We predicted that a time would come when our government would become tyrannical.  We could see the ever increasing encroachments.  He who controls the paycheck, controls the person.

Our fearless leader taught us (gasp) the Constitution.  He taught us how to crack open a law book and understand what a case syllabus meant by “Held.”  We learned that it is called Common Law because it is (or at least supposed to be) a law common to both the prince and the pauper.

He went on to explain to us that a "Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have." (Quote is a summary  of our founding fathers’ principles.)  He also taught us that you should never take a knife to a gun fight.  That is why he taught us law.  With Law, he argued, you can use their own weapons against them.

Let me brag a bit, “I was tea party before mainstream media even recognized there was a modern-day tea party.”

Many years have passed and I continued to study law as a hobby with a focus on Constitutional law.  The internet has given a plethora of opportunities to learn law.  I love to listen to daily news briefs from a lawyer’s perspective by Robert Gruler.  I enjoy hearing answers to my specific questions from Podcasters Robert Barnes and Viva Frei.  I have learned to cross examine from Charlie Rose.  I picked up on the major courtroom objections from Jarrett Stone.  I came to understand the definition of evidence from Richard Cornforth.  And I have been inspired to promote justice by the testimony of Gerry Spence.  And so many more that I can list have contributed to my education.

I have learned to praise God for my factory job, because when my work gets monotonous I don on a pair of headphones and listen to law.

Another thing I have learned over the years is that lawyers are not infallible; they make mistakes too.  Law is so voluminous that it is impossible to know everything.  This is especially true in Constitutional law simply because most law schools gloss over this vital document.

Today I teach a monthly lecture series that I have entitled “The Pros and Perils of Pro Se.”  I started by telling my past successes and failures in a courtroom.  We talk about when it is wise to represent yourself and when it is wise to hire a lawyer.  But if they do hire a lawyer, they need to know the stuff I can teach them so that they can hire the right lawyer.  To borrow a phrase from Robert Gruler, we believe in “watching the watchers.”

Decades ago, the few visionaries and myself predicted a time when lawyers would be so intertwined with government that very few lawyers would be willing and able to defend your rights.  I believe that this time is today.

If you were to review the many pleas for money on GiveSendGo under the legal category, you will see many people who are suffering.  Many are asking for donations in the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars.  There is little doubt that these people have retained the best lawyers.  However, is this the best bang for your buck?  I argue that Pro Se’s will have to lead the battle where lawyers fear to tread.  We have no license to lose.  And I argue that we can do it for nickels on the dollar.
