Pursuant to the First and Ninth Amendments to the Constitution for the United States of America, the undersigned, who reside in the State of Washington and pay local and state taxes, hereby exercise their Right to Petition Jenny Durkan, Mayor of the City of Seattle and Jay Inslee, Governor of the State of Washington for redress of violations of the Constitution for the United States of America.
WHEREAS, on November 28, 2017, Jenny Durkan was legally sworn into office as Mayor of the City of Seattle, swearing to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington; and
WHEREAS, on January 11, 2017, Jay Inslee was sworn into office as Governor of the State of Washington, swearing to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington, and
WHEREAS, the City of Seattle is a municipality created and governed by the State of Washington pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State, and
WHEREAS, Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution for the United States of America reads if full, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence”; and
WHEREAS, in America, a Government “Republican in Form” is a Government based on the written will and consent of the People, instituted to secure the individual’s natural Rights and where the Law is King; and
WHEREAS, whenever “Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it,” and
WHEREAS, lawbreakers are an enemy of the Constitution for the United States of America as lawbreaking is in direct and unequivocal opposition; and
WHEREAS, between June 8, 2020 and July 1, 2020 a number of people violated a number of laws as described in the news article titled, “Justice Is Coming: Businesses Sue Seattle for Enabling CHOP Antifa-stan’s Reign of Terror”[1] and the news article titled “City swiftly dismantles Seattle’s ‘autonomous’ protest zone.”[2]; and
WHEREAS, Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution for the United States of America reads in full, “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability”; and
WHEREAS, Mayor Jenny Durkan and Governor Jay Inslee, having previously taken the oath to support the Constitution of the United States, did disqualify themselves from holding any office under the United States or under any State, by giving aid and comfort to said lawbreakers as described in a Complaint recently filed by Seattle businesses in federal court [3]; and
WHEREAS, with every Right there is a remedy and any Right that is not enforceable is not a Right; and
WHEREAS, “when rulers want money from the people and they have in any manner oppressed the people they may retain their money until their grievances are redressed and thus peaceably procure relief without disturbing the public tranquility.”[4]
NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the individual Rights protected by Article IV and the First, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution for the United States of America, petitioners will retain their Local and State taxes until Mayor Jenny Durkan and Governor Jay Inslee are removed or resign from the Office of Mayor and Governor.
