CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

The above named Petitioner has cause to notify the Office of the United States Coast Guard for a
claim of injury and pattern of un-Lawful activity. This injury was committed within a “Political
subdivision “of the “State” by “THE STATE OF ARKANSAS” under provisions of the War
Powers Act and Title 50 section 1621”Declaration of national emergency”. These administrative
courts have failed to meet “Full Faith and Credit” obligations of contract that have a nation wide
implication within the NDR Act of 1982. As the injured party, I claim a Right of Review
actionable within the United States Code TITLE 5 > PART I > CHAPTER 7 >,§ 702. Right of
review. This Practice of Law TITLE 28 > PART I > CHAPTER 21 > § 454 and TITLE 28 >
PART III > CHAPTER 41 > § 607, violates Article I section 10 “Obligation of Contract” and is
by definition a “Bill of Attainder”.

Issues to be resolved that would bring the “Political Subdivisions” of the State of Arkansas into
“Full Faith and Credit” compliance with the other compact States is the requirement that all civil
service elected or appointed (Arkansas Revised Statutes), have Lawful Oath of Office as
affidavit on file that defines venue and jurisdiction within the “Political subdivision.” To the best
of Claimant’s inquiry, neither the Political subdivision nor the Secretary of State for the state of
Arkansas have affidavit on file as required to validate offices under contract for local police,
assistant prosecutors, or magistrates. When the State of Arkansas rescinded from original
jurisdiction to ratification of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of
America, all civil service employment was/is considered as “at will employment”. The Citizens
of the “Political subdivision” of the “State” are paying for service to members of a collective
bargaining unit who lack the contractual obligation of Oath of Office and Constitutional standing
of 14th Amendment “immunity and privilege”.

Claimant has determined by inquiry with the State of Arkansas Insurance Commissioner and
finally with the Arkansas State Bar Association that neither the Judges nor the offending attorney
(prosecuting) have bonds on file. This constitutes them, each and severally, as having entered
commerce without “insurance.” As a concerned American Citizen I made every effort to stop this
extortion to the best of my ability; however, they issue the orders to those with a “third grade
bully mentality carrying badges and guns,” which equates to Piracy on the Inland Waterways
(roads), or at the least, the act of “Privateering.” I, therefore, request that you expediently utilize
your authority on behalf of one of “We The People” and investigate this situation, post haste.

The result of this fraud has allowed the administrative courts to unlawfully expand the 6th
Amendment venue and jurisdiction defined by the Oath of Offices of the courts, police and
assistant prosecutors of the “Political subdivision”, to now include the “STATE OF ARKANSAS
as Plaintiff” as a matter of statutory State Policy. Where the original Nature and Cause
jurisdiction of the administrative courts lay with city ordinances and moving violation, the
STATE OF ARKANSAS as Plaintiff now makes claims on property and federal benefits for
alleged violations of national security, 20CFR404.465 Conviction for subversive activities.
These fraudulent claims made in the name of THE STATE OF not only subvert the Right to
private property it also is a means to deny the ’Right” of appeal that would expose this
unlawful activity.

Only recently have ‘enemy combatants’ been recognized as having “Rights.” However, Claimant
is NOT an “enemy combatant” nor an “enemy of the State,” according to documents delivered to
Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice’s Office, Chief of Protocol, approximately two years ago
establishing that Claimant is NOT an Enemy of the State, contrary to all U.S. citizens under Title
50.

Without standing of immunity or privilege and without Obligation of contract to those Citizens
of the Political subdivision who possess Original Jurisdiction, We the People have Unalienable
Rights to make Lawful claim of injury and remedy for claim of ‘Rebellion and Insurrection”
against the unlawful abuse of our Home Rule local Government, the Political subdivision, by de
facto state officers. These are war crimes and crimes against humanity in the name of a
fictitious Plaintiff, THE STATE OF ARKANSAS and/or the COUNTY OF BOONE , by de
facto State agencies and “local” courts. To Claimant’s investigation, neither the police, the
assistant prosecutors, the magistrates of the Instant Issue, or the offending Attorney at Law, have
a Bond on record as an insurance for/upon entering the Realm of Commerce as a “for profit”
enterprise and Claimant has not been able to establish, as fact, that either, or both, have an Oath
of Office. This unlawful use of a statutory administrative court of limited jurisdiction, has caused
damage on a nation wide scale and failed to validate the Nature and Cause of actions created by
de facto officers of that court, with Injury and Damages in particular to this Claimant.

9-131.010 Introduction
This chapter focuses on the Hobbs Act (18 U.S.C. § 1951) which prohibits actual or
attempted robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce. Section 1951 also
proscribes conspiracy to commit robbery or extortion without reference to the conspiracy
statute at 18 U.S.C. § 371. Although the Hobbs Act was enacted as a statute to combat
racketeering in labor-management disputes, the statute is frequently used in connection
with cases involving public corruption, commercial disputes, and corruption directed at
members of labor unions.

9-131.020 Investigative and Supervisory Jurisdiction

Primary investigative jurisdiction of offenses in 18 U.S.C. § 1951 lies with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. The Inspector General's Office of Investigations, Division of Labor
Racketeering (formerly the Office of Labor Racketeering), United States Department of Labor, is
also authorized to investigate violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1951 in labor-management disputes
involving the extortion of property from employers by reason of authority conferred on
investigators as Special Deputy United States Marshals.

[NOTE: It is evident that the “Lawyers Guild” and the American Bar Association and the
Arkansas Bar Association are nothing more than “Labor Unions” banded together to prevent
injury to its members. Since Judges are ex-lawyers and often retire into another “practice” of
law, both judges and attorneys are active participants in the coercion, extortion and intimidation
actions propagated across the land of America. This is Claimants’ open and direct protest to such
an unlawful “compound” of participants against the lawful man upon the soil under Treaty
Rights.]

SUMMARY OF FACTS
We the People have original jurisdiction on subject matter within the “Political
subdivision” and standing within the Master/servant relationship to define contracts, TITLE 42 >
CHAPTER 21 > SUBCHAPTER I > Sec. 1981. - Equal rights under the law.

We the People have never given our permission or consent, Federal Rule Civil Procedure Rule
12(b)(1), Rule 12(b)(6) nor have we given up Protected Rights under a statutory “State
policy” within a “Political subdivision” that has nationwide implications, United States v.
Morrison, 169 F.3d 820 (1999) and United States v. Lopez, 115 S.Ct. 1624 (1995), PETTY v.
TENNESSE-ARKANSAS COMM’N., 359 U.S. 275 (1959), 359 U.S. 275. The State of
Arkansas cannot expand the venue and jurisdiction of a “Political subdivision” to a national level
while allowing State agency’s to hold offices that are in violation of contract to the Citizens. Erie
Railroad v. Tompkins 304 U.S. 64 (1938). While administrative agency’s may set a nation wide
policy under a State compact, the determination of that policy is a matter of Law and Equity
determined by an Admiralty Court of contracts. The United States Coast Guard has original
jurisdiction to determine violations within those courts:
33CFR1Subpart 1.07--Enforcement; Civil and Criminal Penalty Proceedings.
CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Claimant requests an oral hearing within a proper court of review, TITLE 5 > PART I >
CHAPTER 7 >,§ 702. Right of review, at which time a determine that the Art. 77. Principals and
Art. 78 Accessory are in violation and lack 11th Amendment standing. This Right of review will
also validate a Right of Claim for violations as a matter of “Public Law 105-6” , TITLE 18 >
PART I > CHAPTER 73 > § 1513 Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant and
H.R.3396, Citizens Protection Act of 1998 by all assistant prosecutors who are lacking a license
to practice Law, an Oath of Office as affidavit for consideration of pay 5 USC 5507, and a
Surety Bond.

We the People have a Right to Recourse and Remedy with full consideration of Rights violations
under a pretext of 42 U.S.C. § 402 ,20 CFR § 404.465, § 404.466, § 404.468 Nonpayment of
benefits to prisoners. The administrative municipal courts within the “Political subdivision”
were never given the venue and jurisdiction over subject matter to apply statutory code that had
ramification to the Citizens in the manner or consideration of a State compact. Any and all
application of a State compact is limited to those persons defined as members named within the
collective bargaining unit, who have a contract within that State. The Citizens have been denied
the Right to local self Government of a Charter. Until the Citizens within the Political
subdivision are given a free choice in choosing the Constitutional local Government, all
application of a compact violation falls up on the State agency’s themselves for violation of
Article I section 10, “Laws impairing the Obligation of a Contract”.

Citizens have a Right to file a due process claim for violations of Protected Rights and Civil
Liberties by impersonators. This is not a local issue as it is part of a record complied through the
NDR Act of 1982 on a nation wide level. This is a federal violation by a fictitious plaintiff, THE
STATE OF ARKANSAS, embezzling federal funds and grants allotted to the “Political
subdivision” (Home Rule local Government) of the “State.” The name/title, THE STATE OF
ARKANSAS is not registered with the Secretary of State of the STATE OF ARKANSAS as a
corporation, association or political subdivision. The Citizens of the Republic within the
Constitutional subdivision have been denied the Right to form a charter and without a charter
defined by the Citizens, the municipality cannot apply for federal assistance or appear at a nation
wide level as a compact State.

FOREIGN SOVEREIGN IMMUNITIES ACT OF 1976

(as amended in 1988)
§ 1602. Findings and declaration of purpose
The Congress finds that the determination by United States courts of the claims of foreign states
to immunity from the jurisdiction of such courts would serve the interests of justice and would
protect the rights of both foreign states and litigants in United States courts. Under international
law, states are not immune from the jurisdiction of foreign courts insofar as their commercial
activities are concerned, and their commercial property may be levied upon for the satisfaction of
judgments rendered against them in connection with their commercial activities. Claims of
foreign states to immunity should henceforth be decided by courts of the United States and of the
States in conformity with the principles set forth in this chapter.
FURTHER DECLARATION FOR CLARITY
The enumerated, specified and distinct Jurisdictions established by the ordained Constitution
(1789), Article III, Section 2, and under the Bill of Rights (1791), Amendment VII, were
fundamentally changed in 1982 to include Admiralty Jurisdiction, which was once again
brought inland.
"This is the FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE necessary to effect unification of CIVIL
and ADMIRALTY PROCEDURE. Just as the 1938 Rules ABOLISHED THE
DISTINCTION between ACTIONS AT LAW and SUITS IN EQUITY, this change
would ABOLISH THE DISTINCTION between CIVIL ACTIONS and SUITS
IN ADMIRALTY." (Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure, 1982 Ed., pg. 17; also see,
Federalist Papers No. 83; Declaration Of Resolves Of The First Continental
 Congress; Oct. 14, 1774, Declaration Of Cause And Necessity Of Taking Up Arms;
July 6, 1775, Declaration of Independence; July 4, 1776, Bennet vs. Butterworth, 52
U.S. 669.) [ALSO, SEE 18 USC Sec. 7]
77 Stat. 630-631, P.L. 88-243 (1963) and P.L. 88-244 (1963) introduces and "makes law"
providing the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) as Private Law enacted for the municipal
District of Columbia and the United States (federal government). These laws/actions were/are
expressly in force and effect on citizens of the federal government. PL 88-243, 77 Stat 630 is
"AN ACT To enact the Uniform Commercial Code for the District of Columbia, and for
other purposes." This is where the uniform commercial code enters as the implied "law of the
land." [SEE also, H.J. Res 778, December 10, 1963, 77 Stat 775]

"It is well settled that "United States" et al is a corporation, originally incorporated February 21,
1871, under the name "District of Columbia"". 16 Stat. 419 Chapter 62

Under the "Buck Act," 4 U.S.C Secs. 105-113, the federal government has created a "Federal
area" within the boundaries of the several states. This area is similar to any territory that the
federal government acquires through purchase, conquest or treaty, thereby imposing federal
territorial law upon the people in this "Federal area," and in Sec. 110(d): The term "State"
includes any territory or possession of the United States. The Buck act affects the actions of
all federal departments within the 50 states. There in 4 U.S.C. Sections 105, the federal "State"
is defined “(also known as), "The State of xxxxxxx."

The Supreme Court says, “There has been created a fictional federal "State (of) [name of
state] within a state." We have numerous references to this.

stolen by the Pirates mentioned herein. A printed copy of this follows by U.S. Post. My
temporary phone number is (870) 365-3768, call me if you wish, but, please understand, I
cordially request and (as Sovereign Elect upon the Soil) corporeally demand that you, as
overseer of military matters within the Admiralty Jurisdiction, stop these Pirates from further
injury of the Private Man.

I am attempting to send a copy of this information to the Department of the Interior. Thank you.
