I found an email from the attorney I had
emailed last week, telling me he would not be taking my case against the City
of Tumwater, because he was not a big law firm and he felt this was a case that
would take too long and cost a lot of money to pursue. So I did a search for
larger law firms and began calling them on the phone for faster results. I
spoke to several and was turned down. I
finally spoke to one attorney who said most of the attorneys at his firm were
on vacation at this time, but in a couple of weeks they would be back and he
would write this up and present it at their meeting. He couldn't guarantee
anything, but if they thought there was a chance of them getting a settlement
out of it as well as a win for me with the lewd act laws I want to have changed so they could recoup their
expenses they might take it. He'll call and let me know.
Another
attorney who was very old and experienced said he didn't think it would happen,
but gave me a lot of valuable information. At one point while speaking with him
he said it wasn't like this was a God-given right under the Constitution, and I
said, "But it is. It's the very first God-given right, God created us all
nude and continues to do so today, so that was obviously His intention for the
human race and it IS His God-given right for us." He still didn't think it
would work, but he wished me well with it. I told him I would keep fighting
this until the day I died.
Here is
something that same attorney told me to look up:
Every person who under color of any statute,
ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the
District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of
the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to
the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the
Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at
law, Suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in
any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in
such officer's judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless
a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was
unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress
applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a
statute of the District of Columbia.
42 U.S.C. § 1983 (emphasis added).
Section 1983 was enacted on April 20, 1871 as
part of the Civil Rights Act of 1871, and is also known as the "Ku Klux
Klan Act" because one of its primary purposes was to provide a civil
remedy against the abuses that were being committed in the southern states,
especially by the Ku Klux Klan. While the existing law protected all
citizens in theory, its protection in practice was unavailable to some because
those persons charged with the enforcement of the laws were unable or unwilling
to do so. The Act was intended to provide a private remedy for such
violations of federal law, and has subsequently been interpreted to create a
species of tort liability.
In reading this, it's saying that anyone of
authority, in my case the Tumwater City Council, who acts under the color of
law while exercising their authority and violates the rights of any US citizen,
are therefore liable to that injured person. So in passing laws that prevent me
from being ME/nude publicly, which they do not have the right to do, I
have the right to sue them and reap financially as well have these laws
rescinded. I just need to find a lawyer with balls enough to take it on.
One other item of interest from America’s not
too distant past that may have an impact upon our gaining independence from
these overly restrictive laws that prevent us from being publicly nude is Roe v
Wade. That’s right. The 1973 landmark case Roe v. Wade, wherein
the Supreme Court applied the core constitutional principle of privacy and
liberty to a woman’s ability to terminate a pregnancy may well be the same
principle of liberty needed for us as Naturist Americans to push through to
Congress the fact that just as women were given the right to decide what to do
with their own bodies, up to and including having an abortion, if they so
desire, so also we, in establishing our core being as the first and primary
God-given right to all mankind, since it is clear that every person who has
ever been born upon this planet, regardless of race, religion, or nation of
origin, has been born completely nude, thus establishing this God-given right, have
the right to our own bodies, including being able to live our lives completely
nude, if that is our desire, for whatever reason, whether from a sincerely and
deeply held religious conviction, as some of us, such as I, may have, or simply from an
inner feeling we hold within that has nothing to do with religion. It is our
body and the government, neither city, county, state, nor even federal, have
any say over how we should dress ourselves or not dress ourselves. How we
appear in public is not a crime, otherwise anyone of any distinctive
difference, be it tattoos, deformities, or the color of their skin, may be
subjectively discriminated against by any particular local township that seeks
to overthrow the Civil Rights Act and regress to pre-1964 prejudicial bigotry.
If ALL of us do the same as I am doing and
search for civil rights lawyers in our own respective areas at the same time,
then we have multiple suits ongoing consecutively. These will ALL need to
proceed to the Supreme Court in order to win and that means the Supreme Court
will see all these cases being brought and will realize by the sheer force of
numbers of suits that this is something REAL, people! This has to be a
concerted effort on our part. We ALL have to do this, not just ME! Who else
here has the balls to call up lawyers and tell them what I have, that you are a
Naturist American seeking to change the laws so you can finally find peace in
yourself by being able to go outside and simply be able to work in your yard,
check your mail, walk along the streets of your neighborhood, go shopping, do
all the everyday things everyone else does, but do them nude, because this is
the normal and original intent of human beings and this is what has been within
your heart, your soul, your BEING since the moment of your BIRTH! You have to
sell this to an attorney, make them feel and hear it in your voice that THIS is
who you ARE! You are not some weekend nudist looking to get nekkid at a club
with others, but you are a person who HATES wearing clothes, because they make
your skin crawl, they make you feel as though you are violating the core
principle of your BEING just by covering your skin in order to go outside. Find
an attorney to take your case and push it to the Supreme Court! We can DO THIS,
but we have to have SOLIDARITY across the board! Without numbers we cannot
succeed. With numbers we cannot be stopped!
We ARE our nude bodies and we MUST be FREE to
live in our NATURAL STATE of BEING!
This case, as in any lawsuit is possible. All it takes is money. Most lawyers won't do squat without at least $2000 or more up front. I don't have that kind of money to throw around, even though I sympathize with you completely, and I wish you the best in your endeavor.
ReplyDeleteYour comment sounds like you must be a lawyer. Are you? If so, any advice that might serve to assist in our endeavor?
DeleteI really hope this is something that can come to fruition! Financially it is beyond me. But if you've a website that may garner funds to assist in your endeavor, hopefully paving a Clothesfree road for the better entry of our lifestyle, you might make something happen.
ReplyDeleteMe? Have a way to garner funds to support his cause? You've GOT to be kidding, right? No, I'm flying by the seat of my pants and trusting my Heavenly father to provide, since He's the One who put this all on my heart to do...
