Requirement for Consent

course, what a way to shock everyone and ruin a marriage ceremony. Without both parties agreeing equally to the full terms 1 and conditions, there can be no "Administrative Law," oops, I mean, "Contract Agreement." 2

(For the benefit of those of you reading this who are ministers, I would like to take a sidebar. What are those commonly 3 heard words that come from your lips, "...lawfully wedded wife?" I ask you, is there an "unlawfully wedded wife," or an 4 "unlawfully wedded husband?" How did those words get in the marriage vow? Why not just ask, "Do you, Steven, take 5 Sharon to be your wife?" Ah, it is the State trying to stick their foot in the door and become a third party to the marriage 6 "Contract Agreement." I ask you, is it a crime to get married? Must couples have government's permission to get married? 7 The government thinks so. But does the government have constitutional authority to do so? Absolutely not. 8 Consider the marriage license. A license is a special grant of permission from the government to do that which is otherwise 9 illegal. People are now being convicted of "practicing law without a license," so I ask you, are couples who refuse marriage 10 licenses guilty of practicing marriage without a license? We are instructed in the Bible, "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a 11 good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD." Prov. 18:22. Yes, and remember that famous quote, "Render therefore unto 12 Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's, Matt. 22:21, and "What therefore God hath 13 joined together, let not man put asunder." Matt. 19:6. Would it not be just as appropriate if God were to say, "What 14 therefore God has 'licensed,' let not man license?" Of course! Are you not therefore rendering to Caesar that which is 15 God's? And are you not doing it "By the power vested in you by the State of [fill in state], I now pronounce you man and 16 wife." And what about this so-called doctrine beaten into our heads by the courts of "Separation of Church and State?" End 17 of sidebar.) 18 Let's next turn to the "Contract Agreement" of Civil Service Employment. You open the newspaper and see an ad placed by 19 the City of Ten Buck Two, saying "Now hiring." You go and apply for the job and you are hired. Whether it be secretary, 20 street cleaner, or police officer, you enter a Civil Service Contract, and receive a mutual benefit, i.e, a paycheck. If you 21 were to receive no consideration from the city, you would be merely a slave. Neither the city nor you were under duress, 22 you both receive a consideration, and established a legitimate "Contract Agreement." The city wishes to call it 23 "Administrative Law." After being hired, if there arises a dispute, you cannot shout, "My Constitutional Rights were 24 violated," for you are now under Civil Service protection, and are not entitled to a jury trial nor any of the protections of the 25 Constitution, for now it is Administrative Law that controls, and the Constitution has no application whatsoever. 26 Now let's take this a step further, and talk about a ticket. I once was mailed a ticket through the mail offering me an 27 "Administrative Review." I wrote back to this administrative agency by certified mail with return receipt, and with a sworn 28 declaration attached stating that I had never entered into a "Contract Agreement" with them, and that such contract did not 29 exist. I further demanded that they respond with a counter-declaration stating that I had indeed entered into a "Contract 30 Agreement" with them, and thus bring the question into issue. (An uncontested declaration stands as the truth. No counter- 31 declaration, no dispute.) I also demanded that they attach of copy of the contract we had between us as evidence to support 32 their contention. 33 This administrative agency just did not know what to do, so they just declared my "request for an Administrative Review" 34 untimely, despite the certified mail proving otherwise. They then stated that I now owed them more than twice the amount 35 they originally demanded of me. However, as you note, I did not ask for an "Administrative Review." Rather my only issue 36 was the appropriateness and legitimacy of the agency "offering" me the administrative review. If you received a letter from 37 Moscow, Russia accusing you of failing to possess a license from the Moscow Aviation Flight Board, and offering you an 38 administrative review, would you ask for an administrative review? 39

Further, in my communication to this administrative body, which further baffled them, I asked: 40

"When you say you are offering me an ‘Administrative Review,’ it implies I am now on appeal. Was there a trial in which I have already been found guilty, and that I now should appeal that decision? I never received a notice of such trial. When was the trial? Who sat in judgment? What was the basis of his or her findings? What is the

particular clause in the "Contract Agreement" I have been found guilty of violating?”

44

You see, my questions were entirely logical and practical, but they just did not know how to deal with me. So they just 45 forged ahead with enforcement as if I said nothing. This resulted in my lawsuit against them which went all the way to the 46 U.S. Supreme Court twice, once through the state courts, and then all the way through the federal, the issue in federal court 47 being deprivation of due process of law. There was not one court, neither state, nor federal, that would address a single 48 issue I presented in my lawsuit. This suit resulted in five long years of litigation, and the agency admittedly spent over 49 $100,000.00 defending itself, and demanded of me that I should pay them for their time from what started out to be $55. 50
