In Petition of remonstrance, I have evidenced crimes perpetrated by judges under color of law.  The evidence of their crimes is irrefutable and beyond reasonable doubt.  The right to remonstrate proposed articles of impeachment of those bad actor judges is a right guaranteed me in Tenn. Const. Art. I, § 23.

By John Gentry We the people v 50

Every day that goes by, these judges are free to further perpetrate crimes against more victims.  In fact, regarding Judge Woodruff of Williamson County, there is a crime in progress of extortion under color of law that remains ongoing against a helpless victim. 

Every day that the 111th General Assembly fails to timely address this matter, subjects more people to the despotism and oppression caused by the bad actor judges remonstrated against.

NON EST ARCTIUS VINCULUM INTER HOMINES QUAM JUSJURANDUM in Latin translates to; There is no stronger link among men than an oath.  Each of you swore an oath to uphold the constitution.  Respectfully, I call upon you to stand by your oaths.

          Today it was communicated to this petitioner by one member that he should wait until next year to be heard, and by another to wait until the summer. How many more must suffer before you will take action?

          Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1986, the federal oppression statute:

Every person who, having knowledge that any of the wrongs conspired to be done, and mentioned in section 1985 of this title, are about to be committed, and having power to prevent or aid in preventing the commission of the same, neglects or refuses so to do, if such wrongful act be committed, shall be liable to the party injured, or his legal representatives, for all damages caused by such wrongful act, which such person by reasonable diligence could have prevented; and such damages may be recovered in an action on the case; and any number of persons guilty of such wrongful neglect or refusal may be joined as defendants in the action; and if the death of any party be caused by any such wrongful act and neglect, the legal representatives of the deceased shall have such action therefor, and may recover not exceeding $5,000 damages therein, for the benefit of the widow of the deceased, if there be one, and if there be no widow, then for the benefit of the next of kin of the deceased. But no action under the provisions of this section shall be sustained which is not commenced within one year after the cause of action has accrued. [italics added]


42 U.S.C. § 1986

          Your petitioner only makes you aware of this federal statute for the purpose of reminding you that it is your duty to exercise your power to prevent violations of constitutionally protected rights, including crimes perpetrated under color of law. 

Only the House has the sole power of impeachment pursuant to Tenn. Const. Art. V.  If the House does not agree to impeach them for their crimes, at least remove them from office under Art. VI so more do not suffer needlessly.

          Please stand by your oaths.  Please protect the people from rights violations.  Please help to heal our republic.
