PETITION TO REPEAL CARTER COUNTY SALES TAX

1. In March of 2004 the petition drive begin.

2. We found a lot of people not registered to vote who wanted to sign petition, we asked Tracy Harris
Administrator of Elections if we got registration forms for them to register would they be counted if
they signed the petition. She told us she would count everyone that his or her card was turned in by
the petition date. But she did not do this, "after" the word come down that this issue was not to reach
the referendum.

3. By September 3, 2004 there had been 5,365 people that had signed the petition. It was very easy
to see what the will people was.

4. September 3, 2004 was the date the petition was to be turned in, to be judged by Election
Commission.

5. After checking petition Tracy Harris Administrator of Elections said (see the two local news
papers) the petition lacked 100 qualified signors for the petition to go to Referendum. She said that
2916 signors checked out to be good signors (see petition report Petition Number Tax). She said at
the beginning of the drive we would need 3,015 good signors.

6. When Tracy Harris was forced to do a second count she found 171 signors that she had
disqualified on first count that were a qualified signor. There were hundreds of signors that she said
someone else signed for them and disqualified their names, we polled 37 of the hundreds and found
the signors, and they gave a sworn affidavit that they signed the petition and that the signature on
petition was their signature. (2916+171+37=3124) These are the signors she said some third party
signed for them. If we would have had the time and money we could have found 3 or 4 hundred or
more of these signors. The signors on petition were never counted as to the deciding of the issue, if
they had been counted the issue would have went to a referendum.

7. Judge Richard Johnson said at the beginning of the legal proceedings that he was going to follow
the law, which he did not do. If he had done so the voters of Carter County would have decided this
issue. These are the ones that took the people right to vote away, George and Kathy Dugger, Tracy
Harris Administrator of Elections and Sidney Davidson, Millard Garland, Dean Perry, Bud
Whitehead, and Leonard Lewis the Election Commissioners also Judge Richard Johnson and
Assistant State Attorney General William Helou.

8. The Tennessee Assistant Attorney General interpretation said petitioning meant that anyone can
talk to the people representing them. He said any ruling the Election Commission makes is a true
ruling and they cannot be challenged. He also said a petition could be taken on any issue, but it will
be left up the local Election Commission if it is approved. And that a petition like ours probably
would be disapproved. He also said anyone could say anything they wanted to any official but that
they probably would not listen to anything that was said. If you have the power you can interpret
anything, anyway you want no matter if it is correct or not. Get a dictionary and try to interpret the
definition of a dictator or dictators No matter what you think of this issue, lookup what the word
democracy means.
9. We did get our legal case dismissed in Chancery Court, but we did not lose our case all together in
Carter County. We found who is setting every elected official into office and who is controlling all
referendums. The voters are not doing this. The Election Commission does what they want and no
one can challenge any thing they say or do whether they are right or wrong. That is the way the
Assistant State Attorney General interprets the Laws and the Constitution of Tennessee, and the
Constitution of the United States.
10. If you are going to run for an elected office in Carter County take your checkbook and head for
the election commission.

You may think all this was said because we are bad losers, but this issue could not have
been lost if the petition had been judged correctly. Relax and let your mind tell you who
lost the most when the case was dismissed and who gained the most.
