A Petition for God's Chosen, the Poor, Needy, Widowed and Fatherless of Tennessee.
The Issue
What is good and equal, is the law of laws.
Consent makes the law. A contract is a law between the parties, which can acquire force only by consent.
The Lord's Commandment is :
"Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless." - Verses 22-24 of Chapter 22 of the Book of Exodus of the Holy Bible.
The Law of the United States is:
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation" - Section 1 and 2 of the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States
The Law of Tennessee is:
"That slavery and involuntary servitude, except as a punishment
for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, are forever prohibited in this state." - Article 1, Section 33 of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee
Yet somehow, Tennessee allowed this law to be made available to govern the People by:
"The county legislative body may bind out illegitimate children in the same way as orphans, upon its satisfactorily appearing that the mother of such illegitimate children disregards their moral and mental culture, and either keeps or lives in a house of ill fame, and upon its further appearing that the condition of such children would be thereby bettered, although the mother may provide ordinary food and clothing for the mother's children." - Tennessee Code Annotated 71-3-302 - Illegitimate Children as Apprentices
The union of a man and a woman is of the law of nature. - Bouvier Maxim.
I Am A Single Mother of a Fatherless 8 Year old little girl. I have studied the Holy Bible and the Law. In the Holy Bible, the Book of Exodus, Chapter 22; verses 22-24 of the King James version and Chapter 22; verses 23-25 of the E100 version, it is written that Women and Children are not to be oppressed or afflicted.
No man ought to derive any benefit of his own wrong. - Bouvier Maxim.
Catholic or Christian, this is the Lord's Commandment.
My daughter was born fatherless at Ascension Saint Thomas of Nashville Davidson County, Tennessee. We, along with other Women and Children have been unconstitutionally and unlawfully removed from our HUD homes by MDHA of Nashville Davidson County, Tennesse; denied TANF and other assistance, benefits and protections...all because of T.C.A. 71-3-301 & 302 giving the County Legislative a loophole to have slaves - Women and Children who have been deserted by Men.
Women who have illegitimate children who are working women - you too are afflicted and oppressed. You are denied the benefits I am denied because "you make too much", when in truth, you are denied because your child is illegitimate.
A Law of Tennessee, T.C.A. 71-3-301 & 71-3-302 states that the County Legislative may "bind out" orphans and illegitimate children as apprentices. An Apprentice is a low-wage earner.
I have come to understand that this law is a law of discrimination, involuntary servitude and slavery...that it violates the Constitutions of the State of Tennessee and the United States.
It is by the Free Will of Men to desert their Women and Children. There is nothing anyone can do when Men decide to desert their Women and Children. Not even the Child Support Enforcment Agencies can jail Men for failure to pay child support because it is against the Law for anyone to be jailed for a debt. Article 1, Section 18 of The Constitution of the State of Tennessee.
Orphans and Illegitimate Children should not be bound to poverty because the father chose to leave the mother. The purpose of the Social Security Programs; TANF, SNAP, Families First - it is to care for Women and Children who have been deserted by Men. It is federal funding intended for Women and Children who have been deserted by Men or the Men have been incarcerated or died.
Women and Children are entitled to All benefits and privileges, programs and assistance without restriction because ALL programs are federally funded.
Women and Children are entitled to Federal Assistance because the Laws entitle us to it. Regardless of occupation, if Women and Children say they need Federal Assistance, Women and Children are to be provided Federal Assistance.
Mothers know how to take care of our children. We have no problem paying to put them through school or any sort of training for the betterment of their Mental and Moral Culture. We have been denied the resources intended for us to do so.
"An Act done against my will is not an act done by me."
By the Power and Protections of the Following Law - The Law being My God, My Lord, My Truth, My Light and My Way, I Petition, along with those who have signed, to abolish T.C.A. 71-3-301 & T.C.A. 71-3-302 in the Light that these laws violate my God & to uphold the Commandments of my God, I and those who sign with me, respectfully command the restoration of all that has been denied to Single Mothers, Fatherless Children and Orphans by the County Legislative under T.C.A. 71-3-301 & 302:
"That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness; for the advancement of those ends they have at all times, an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper." - Article 1, Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." - First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. - Ninth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. - Tenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. - Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
"Section 1 - Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
Section 2 - The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime. No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due.
Section 3 - New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress. The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.
Section 4 - The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." - Article 4 of the Constitution of the United States.
