“A CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION”
by New York State Grassroots Groups
(Sep. 16, 2015) — NOTE : Elections won’t fix a thing because “they” choose who YOU will vote for. I hope this will be forwarded and go viral in every email list and every social media venue. This email’s content and the video at the bottom is a landmark and should be read, viewed and understood by every person that has even the slightest concern for the future of NYS and America. Albany really is a cesspool of corruption and Denver’s efforts detail how and why the crap all winds up in Albany. Yup – it begins in the corrupt political committees of every county, it corrupts the BOE and then flows to Albany. Unless activists stop following the current leadership(s) of politics, organizations and groups and take action at the ground level OUR society is doomed to despair, strife and then collapse.
UPDATE : Denver Jones Supreme Court Case File #4480-2015 September 9, 2015
The Court included 3 separate cases into one. That caused confusion. Denver made partial oral arguments on the most important case – constitutional issues on Denver Jones’ ballot placement. Denver is now relying on the written testimony to carry the weight in the judge’s decision [see written arguments below]. We await that decision. If, by miracle, Denver should win this landmark case it would have a far reaching impact on the election process. [If Denver losses it would be possible for a good attorney willing to appeal to the next level.]
One victory Objection to “interveners” was granted: As a part of our written testimony “Interveners”; Attorney Ciampoli and Byjoy Data, James Thomas, Donald Lenard, Thomas Morrone, Maria Kelso, Paul VanSavage, and Robert N. Nielsen Jr. were barred from the court proceedings. The judge rejected their application and stated they had no standing in this case. [See charges against interveners at bottom – in “Supporting Materials”]. We hope for formal charges to be brought against these unscrupulous people.
Denver Jones Written Testimony to the NYS Supreme Court:
Petitioner Denver Jones:
Denver Jones seeks the court’s Ruling [relief] on balloting for the Special Election for NY Senate district 52
It is clear and evident that in the matter of a special election for the NY senate district 52 that the rules, regulations, directives and circumstances were wrongful, capricious and arbitrary. Election law and political party bylaws call for specific and precise petitioning and nominations. In this case none of the legal procedures have been adhered to.
1. The setting date for the election has not followed legal requirements or proper procedure
2. The nomination of the major parties’ candidates have not been in accordance with election laws and procedures.
3. The petitioning times and details for an independent nominations have not adhered to laws and regulations.
There is no question that this matter has no comparison. The issues of this matter must set precedent. Never in history has there been a political contest where a special election may be called under such confusion and misguided rules and with unclear and misleading directions. From its inception right up until this point there has been no sanctioned election and no clear path to ballot certification. It has not followed any rules, regulations or procedures as called for in the election laws of New York State.
The petitioner, Denver Jones, has done his best to meet all requests of the NYS Board of Elections, maintain legal status and comply with directives from the BOE and others. Even though the nature of directives were fraught with irregularities, questionable legalities and inconsistencies Denver Jones has complied as best as possible.
The candidates of the Democrats and Republicans were chosen without any public scrutiny. It defies all legalities of American democracy. Each party has broken the law and party rules in their nominations.
1. The NY senate district 52 is a four county district
2. In his sole judgement Governor Andrew Coumo selected the Democrat Barbara Fiala
3. A limited committee of no quorum of Broome County Republicans arbitrarily selected Fred Akshar
4. 30 prospective candidates were not given an opportunity to address any of the four counties’ executive committees. Denver Jones being one of the republicans seeking nomination.
Denver Jones petitioned for the legal and certified independent party named “The TaxPayers Party Line”.
1. All political parties, jointly and separately, have conspired to intimidate and thwart independent nominations by using every challenge – legal or otherwise.
2. It is completely obvious the intention is to blatantly subvert the election process and flaunt their financial and social power.
3. There has been no consideration for legal or ethical behavior, whatsoever, on their part.
Independent contenders were not given time to prepare, organize or even given the precise times of petitioning or even the date of the special election. They were forced to go forward in the dark hoping
(Page 1)
to satisfy whatever rules that were to be established during midstream or beyond the time of balloting.
Under these conditions; the number of signatures and the time allotted to collect them is unreasonable capricious and an affront to the election process. The Board of Elections, the Republican and Democrat parties seem to be colluding and conspiring to keep all contenders out of the political process. The court must adjudicate in favor of Denver Jones to maintain the integrity of New York’s election system.
With a, yet to be determined, special election, with mass confusion and unclear rules; the petitioner found it impossible to gather enough qualified volunteers to collect the unreasonable 3,000 required signatures in the assumed 17 day time allotment. The legal petitioning time allotment is 6 weeks.
Denver Jones hereby pleads for mercy from the court and:
1. Asks the court to factor in all circumstances and place Denver Jones on the Ballot as The TaxPayers nominated candidate.
a. The TaxPayers Party is a duly registered, BOE verified, and accepted independent party. The vacancy committee along with petition carriers of the previously submitted Taxpayers Party petition represents and validates a committee that has nominated Denver Jones.
b. None of the candidates on the ballot, thus far, have collected any nominating signatures. These candidates were arbitrarily selected by a closed door process. Fair and equal treatment under law calls for Denver Jones to be placed on the ballot as an independent nominated candidate without submission of a signature quantity based nomination petition.
c. With no petitioning process required by certain persons while forcing others to endure 3times the normal signatures in less than half the legal time allotment demonstrates extreme prejudice and blatant discrimination.
d. The major parties have bylaws. Those bylaws call for committee meetings and quorums. Neither the Democrats nor Republicans held meetings containing quorums.
i. If the current nominees are allowed to remain on the ballot Denver Jones must be placed on the ballot.
e. An election whereby only the major parties of Democrat and Republican are allowed and no independent candidates are prohibited from balloting subverts the democratic election process.
f. An election whereby there is no public input or scrutiny in who the candidates are eliminates the democratic election process.
g. Denver Jones is the only candidate in this matter that can prove a legitimate selection for candidacy supported by and approved by unbiased voters and unbiased citizens of New York State.
i. Denver Jones did, in fact, submit an “on time” nominating petition verified by the BOE.
ii. The Denver Jones filed petition did contain the names of an independent committee.
iii. Denver Jones original (volume 1) nominating petition did, in fact, contain over 2,000 citizens signatures.
iv. Denial of Denver Jones to be on the ballot will disenfranchise over 3,000 voters
v. Denial of Denver Jones to be on the ballot eliminates a free and open election
(Page 2)
2. Asks for an extension of petitioning time until at least September 17, 2015 or later or other time that the court deems reasonable.
a. Election law calls for a 6 week petitioning time allotment.
b. This special election was not even a consideration until the conviction of Tom Libous.
c. The governor did not make mention of a special senate election until approximately halfway into the legal 6 week independent petitioning time allotment.
d. At the time of any possible petitioning for the election to begin it was unclear on dates, time frames or rules governing petitioning.
e. Election law calls for all petitioning, challenges and ballot certification to be completed 45 days before the election. This leaves adequate time to extend the petitioning process.
f. Denial of Denver Jones to be on the ballot will disenfranchise over 3,000 voters.
g. Denial of Denver Jones to be on the ballot eliminates a free and open election
3. Asks for a reduction of required signatures to 1,250 or less or such amount the court deems reasonable.
a. Election law calls for a 6 week petitioning time allotment.
b. This special election was not even a consideration until the conviction of Tom Libous.
c. The governor did not make mention of a special senate election until approximately halfway into the legal 6 week independent petitioning time allotment.
d. At the time of any possible petitioning for the election to begin it was unclear on dates, time frames or rules governing petitioning.
e. Election law calls for all petitioning, challenges and ballot certification to be completed 45 days before the election. This leaves adequate time to extend the petitioning process.
f. Denial of Denver Jones to be on the ballot will disenfranchise over 3,000 voters.
g. Denial of Denver Jones to be on the ballot eliminates a free and open election
Supporting Material:
Denver Jones has previously asked the court for an extension of time for petitioning [Index #_______]. The Judge ruled that he had no authority due to “ripeness” – there had been no petition filed at that point. During that case the committee chairmen of various political parties of the 4 counties in the 52nd senate district illegally interfered and knowingly committed fraud and made sworn untrue statements to the court. They issued sworn statements claiming they were all voters in the 52nd senate district. Undisputable evidence proves that is false. Maria Kelso is not a registered voter in the 52nd district. The attorney and all others named on the suit knew that fact prior to submitting said sworn testimony. The lawbreakers in that case should suffer penalties and should be barred from making further claims in the matter of Denver Jones’ efforts to seek independent nomination for the special election for the NY senate district 52.
