State Senate Has Failed to Turn Over Oaths/Bonds for 2025 - 2026 Session; Waiting on Oaths from SOS
Please forgive me for taking so long to post another update. In January, I had one issue after another after another with technology, which made communications challenging. I’ve spent the last couple weeks trying to get caught up on everything that I fell behind on in January.
1. Restore Rebuild had me back on for an update on the petition. In that episode, I also talked about other strategies that constituents can use to push back against government corruption and how I think that the State of California’s $25 million lawsuit fund to “fight Trump” may be tied to the systemic lack of oaths in place for CA government employees.
2. The State Senate still has not responded to the LORA request that I made on December 3, 2025 for copies of oaths and bonds. The response was due on December 17.
I’ve been regularly calling to follow up. Usually, I just leave messages with the receptionists, but on December 20 and January 7, John Nam took my calls. He told me that the LORA request was “in process,” but refused to give me an estimated date of fulfillment. This is a trick. He knows he can’t legally deny my request, so instead, he simply will never get around to fulfilling it — which is essentially the same thing as a denial. However, the LORA laws require disclosure of timelines, so by not giving a timeline, he has violated the law.
I've also been emailing periodically, and have had no response to any of my emails.
3. On January 31, 2025, I requested copies of oaths and bonds from the Secretary of State for Scott Wiener and many other elected legislators and deep state senate/assembly staffers: page 1, page 2 and page 3 (scanning was one of my many technological problems in January).
On February 5, 2025, the SOS responded that they had 126 oaths and no bonds on file. Just as oaths are required by law for every government employee, so are bonds, so everyone on the list is working unlawfully. However, as far as I can tell, the only punishment for not having a bond is dismissal; lack of bonds is not a felony like lack of oaths.
The SOS only takes payments via paper checks. I did mail a check, and it hasn’t cleared my bank yet, so I don’t think my request has been processed. Once processed, the copies of the oaths will be sent via snail mail. I’ll send another update when they arrive.
4. My strategy moving forward will vary depending upon whether or not Wiener and the others have signed oaths.
5. Meanwhile, whether or not Wiener and the others have taken an oath for 2025 does not change the fact that any legislative work done by an elected official who didn’t have an oath in place at the time must be voided! I will not stop trying to get the fraudulently implemented legislation voided.
6. Finally, the reason that I pulled Scott Wiener’s oath in the first place was because, as part of the Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxation, he was allowing the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) to overcharge taxpayers via multiple unlawful schemes. One New Earth had me on their show to talk about FTB’s corruption. We also talked about the devolution of the mortgage industry that I witnessed from 1996 – 2007, how I holistically cured a rare kidney disease that I developed after the birth of my child, and, of course, my efforts to have Scott Wiener’s legislative work voided.
Please continue to share this petition and to call the State Senate daily to demand they void the work done by the legislators without oaths (4-minute instructional video on what to say).
