Lawful Notification of Disqualification from Holding Public Office Due to Malfeasance

Notice to Agent is Notice to Principal and Notice to Principal is Notice to Agent

I, one of the People, (as seen in the 50 State Constitutions), Republican in Form, Sui Juris, do present you with this notice that you and your agents may provide due care; Please take notice that the People in the exercise of our sovereign authority, have conducted thorough study and preparation and we are now uniting in a peaceful and orderly manner to instruct government officials, trustees, and servants to strictly adhere to fundamental principles to preserve liberty and maintain a free government. As such, we are lawfully commanding that Bob Ferguson be removed from office as he is disqualified from holding any public office within the State of Washington under Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 9.92.120 and RCW 42.12.010 and the self-executing provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of the 14th Amendment, including the office of Governor. In America, all constitutions are established by the authority of the people alone, and no one in government has the authority to disregard the expressed written provisions of the original organic Constitution for the United States of America, circa 1787, as amended with the Bill of Rights in 1791. This established the United States as a Constitutional Republic and this Constitution as the supreme Law of the Land. (The authorities cited below, including Maxims of Law and constitutional provisions, universally recognized and accepted, require no proof, argument, or discourse)

• Maxim of Law 11: One lawfully commanding must be obeyed. (Jenk. Cent. 120
• Chisholm V. Georgia, 2 U.S. (2 Dall 419 (1793): "Sovereignty resides with the people, and they act through their agents. The people, therefore, are the sovereigns of America."
• U.S. Constitution, Preamble: "We the People of the United States do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
• Washington Const. art. 1, § 32: "A frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is essential to the security of individual right and the perpetuity of. free government."

Please take notice that all political power in our republican form of government resides originally in the people and is derived from them, and we are endowed by our Creator with certain natural, essential, inherent, indefeasible, and unalienable rights. We have instituted government to secure those rights as its sole and only legitimate end. Every other function is an act of usurpation in the government, and consequently treason against the sovereignty of the people. (The following authorities are cited below:)

• Maxim of Law 510 "All Political Power is inherent in the people by decree of God, thus none can exist except it be derived from them. American Maxim
• Alabama Constitution, Article I, § 35: "Objective of government. That the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and when the government assumes other functions, it is usurpation and oppression."
• Tucker Blackstone Vol. 1 Appendix Note B [Section 3] 1803: "If in a limited government, the public functionaries exceed the limits which the constitution prescribes to their powers, every act is an act of usurpation in the government, and, as such, treason against the sovereignty of the people."

Please take notice that all members of the government, whether appointed or elected, serve as officers, trustees, and servants, and are bound by implied or expressed contract to uphold their oath or affirmation to defend the Constitutions of the United States and their State. This obligation requires them to act in a manner that aligns with their conscience in protecting the Republic from both domestic and foreign enemies. Your actions, as outlined herein, clearly show that you do not operate within the framework of this Constitution or the Constitutional Republic it established. Instead, you act outside the Constitution, the supreme Law of the Land, and the Constitutional Republic. You have flagrantly disregarded your sworn Constitutional duties and have unlawfully elevated lesser "laws" above the Constitution. By acting beyond the scope of your limited delegated authority, you have waged a war against the Constitution and the people. Therefore, you are a domestic enemy to this nation and its Citizens. (The following authorities are cited below:)

• Maxim of Law 84a: "There is no stronger link or bond between men than an oath." Jenk. Cent. Cas. 126; Id. P. 126,
• Maxim of Law 84b: It is immaterial whether a man gives his assent by words or by acts and deeds. 10 Coke, 52.

Please take notice that according to the self-executing provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of the 14th Amendment, your office has been vacated as a result of malfeasance. The term "rebellion" encompasses actions that, while not necessarily violent, still involve a significant breach of constitutional duties. Your unlawful enforcement of policies has caused harm to the public, constituting a violation of your oath of office and a rebellion against the constitutional principles you are required to uphold. As a result, you are barred from performing any official duties, and any actions you have taken are null and void, without legal effect. Additionally, you have forfeited all benefits tied to your former office, including salary and pension. You are constitutionally disqualified from receiving public funds and from holding any public office in this state or nation. Furthermore, anyone who aids or supports your unlawful actions is also deemed an enemy of the Constitution and is subject to removal or prosecution. (The following authorities are cited below:)

• Maxim of Law 51k: "The law is not to be violated by those in government." Jenk. Cent. 7.
• U.S. Constitution, 14th Amendment, Section 3: "No person shall. hold any office. under the United States who, having previously taken an oath 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."
• John Locke, Two Treatises of Government, Second Treatise, Chapter 19, § 222: "When the legislative or the executive act contrary to their trust, they forfeit the power the people had put into their hands and it devolves to the people, who have a right to resume their original liberty."
• Emer Vattel, The Law of Nations, Book I, Chapter 3, § 30: "The constitution and laws of a state are the foundation of the authority of its rulers; if they violate them, they betray their trust, and thereby forfeit their right to command."

Please take notice that your actions have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. Specifically, in Thurston County Superior Court case 18-2-04658-34, it was determined that your enforcement policy and de facto rule regarding the unlicensed use of the title 'Engineer' was unlawful. On September 29, 2021, Judge Sharonda D. Amamilo issued a judgment against you, finding that your actions were in violation of state law.

Please take notice that under the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 9.92.120 and RCW 42.12.010, upon conviction of malfeasance, a public officer is required to forfeit their office and is disqualified from ever holding any public office in the state. Your continued occupation of public office, therefore, is unlawful, and you are required to vacate your position immediately.

• RCW 9.92.120 - Forfeiture of Office Upon Conviction: "Whenever any public officer, being convicted under the laws of this state of a felony or malfeasance in office or of any offense involving a violation of the officer's official oath, enters upon a term of imprisonment in any penal institution, the office held by such officer shall become vacant."
• RCW 42.12.010 - Causes of Vacancy: "An elective office shall become vacant on the happening of any of the following events before the expiration of the term of such officer:
• 1. Death; 2.His or her resignation; 3. His or her removal; 4.His or her ceasing to be an inhabitant of the district, county, or state for which he or she was elected or appointed, or within which the duties of his or her office are to be discharged; 5.His or her conviction of a felony, or of any offense involving a violation of his or her official oath; 6.His or her refusal or neglect to take the oath of office, or to give or renew his or her official bond, or to deposit such oath or bond within the time prescribed by law; 7.The decision of a competent tribunal declaring void his or her election or appointment; or 8. Whenever a judgment shall be obtained against that incumbent for breach of the condition of his or her official bond."

Please take notice that on January 16, 2023, the Office of Attorney General, led by Bob Ferguson, recommended HB1333 to the 68th Legislature during the 2023 Regular Session in the State of Washington. HB1333, concerning Domestic Terrorism, proposed criminalizing certain forms of expression based on the state commission's interpretation of 'domestic extremism.' Establishing a state-level 'Ministry of Truth' would not only threaten foundational principles of governance but also stifle public discourse, freedom of speech, and civic engagement within Washington state. The bill was ultimately defeated by the people through lawful notification; however, Bob Ferguson continues his maladministration, which we have the right and duty to guard against. We hold the right to be protected from the dangers of maladministration, and the people must hold their government accountable for its actions at all times. To prevent those in power from becoming oppressors, it is the people's right to remove public officers and return them to private life. The people alone possess the incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to establish government and to reform, alter, or entirely change it when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness demand it. (The following authorities are cited below:)

• Massachusetts Constitution, Part the First, Article VIII.: In order to prevent those, who are vested with authority, from becoming oppressors, the people have a right, at such periods and in such manner as they shall establish by their frame of government, to cause their public officers to return to private life; and to fill up vacant places by certain and regular election and appointments.
• John Locke, Second Treatise of Government, Chapter 19, Section 219: "When he [the executive] who ought to carry out the law turns the law against those who are supposed to be protected by it, or employs the force that is at his disposal to corrupt or destroy, there can no longer be any claim to obedience due from the people. They are released from their obligations to a government that has dissolved itself, and they have the right to establish a new legislative, often joined with the executive, to replace it."

• Maryland Const. art. I, § 6: "That all persons invested with the Legislative or Executive powers of Government are the Trustees of the Public, and, as such, accountable for their conduct Wherefore, whenever the ends of Government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the People may, and of right ought, to reform the old, or establish a new Government; the doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind."
• John Locke, Second Treatise of Government, Chapter 19, Section 240: "Who shall be judge whether the prince or legislative act contrary to their trust? To this I reply, The people shall be judge; for who shall judge whether his trustee or deputy acts well, and according to the trust reposed in him, but he who deputes him, and must, by having deputed him, have still a power to discard him when he fails in his trust? If this be reasonable in particular cases of private men, why should it be otherwise in that of the greatest moment, where the welfare of millions is concerned, and also where the evil, if not prevented, is greater, and the redress very difficult, dear, and dangerous?"
• Washington Const. art. 1, § 30: "The enumeration in this Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny others retained by the people."
• Maxims of Law: "a power that is derived cannot be greater than that from which it is derived." This means that government power, derived from the People, cannot exceed the authority granted by the People. When government exceeds its authority or fails to fulfill its duties, the People have the right to retract that authority and hold the government accountable.

Please take notice that the February 7, 2023, ruling by the Court of Appeals, Washington Division II, which determined that the engineer, Paul Tappel, lacked standing due to not being injured, does not negate the prior judgment against Bob Ferguson. According to State ex rel. Zempel V. Twitchell, 367 P.2d 985 (Wash. 1962), the judgment remains intact. Furthermore, as the Washington Supreme Court ruled in State ex rel. Guthrie V. Chapman, 187 Wash. 327, 60 P.2d 245, and State ex rel. Knabb V. Frater, 198 Wash. 675, 89 P.2d 1046, an office is vacated by a judgment of conviction, and such forfeiture is not superseded by an appeal.

Notice of Liability

Please take notice that all officers and trustees are obligated to take lawful steps to prevent maladministration and must fully comply with all provisions of the Constitution, while strictly upholding the principles of fundamental law. Your unconstitutional actions, as detailed throughout this Notice, clearly show that you have violated these lawful duties, the Constitutions, and your oath of office, engaging in maladministration against the public good by breaching public trust and committing acts of rebellion against the Constitution. Due to your unlawful and unconstitutional conduct, you have triggered the self-executing provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of the 14th Amendment, resulting in the lawful vacating of your office and forfeiture of all associated benefits, including salary and pension. Your office has been vacated and your failure to promptly step down and resign will be viewed as an additional willful trespass, carried out with full knowledge, intent, and malice. Furthermore, if you maintain a differing viewpoint and question the legitimacy of any of these statements, or you believe that you are above the law and do not need to strictly observe and adhere to the provisions of the Constitution, you must reply within ten (10) business days through a sworn affidavit under the pains and penalties of perjury. This reply should contain constitutional provisions that justify your authority to infringe upon the People's rights or to disregard our lawful directives.

If you fail to specifically rebut, in kind, any of the charges, claims, and positions set forth in this notice, then, you tacitly admit to them, and these admissions will be lawfully used against you. I retain the right to resolve this matter through an arbitrator of my choosing, with the decision being binding and no court shall have the authority to rehear this matter; it shall stand as evidence, truth, and law in all courts of record.

This Notice is sent to you in peace and with the love of our Creator, So that you may provide immediate due care to those in whom all political power is inherent, the People.
