Indiana Art. I, § 31 of the Indiana constitution states:
No law shall restrain any of the inhabitants of the State from assembling together in a peaceable manner, to consult for their common good; nor from instructing their representatives; [nor from applying to the General Assembly for redress of grievances.]
Indiana Art. I, § 31 of the Indiana constitution, specifies our right to apply to the Indiana General Assembly for redress of our grievances. Indiana State representatives and senators will claim that they are only responsible for passing laws. This is intentionally misleading to avoid being constitutionally bound to redress grievances. In reality, they are members of the Indiana General Assembly and have the ability to correct any State issues, including the removal of judges, if applied to as a whole. I have contacted them all individually, but they can be contacted as a whole at:
Indiana General Assembly.
200 W. Washington Street
Indianapolis, IN 46204-2785
or individually through the links below:

You can also send emails to Holcomb, Young, and Braun through the petition. Justin P. Forkner, Chief Administrative Officer of the Indiana Supreme Court, can be contacted at: justin.forkner@courts.in.gov. This will only serve to provide their responses or lack of responsiveness to the Indiana General Assembly. Contacting the Indiana General Assembly is the only course of action for results. I will be submitting a Petition of Remonstrance to them eventually addressing many issues.

The more people that contact members of the representative government and make records requests, the better. Making complaints about records not surrendered will raise awareness through displayed complaints on our https://www.in.gov/pac/advisory/ website.
Any problems with records requests can be submitted to the Indiana Public Access Counselor at:

You can also contact the Indiana Coalition for Open Government regarding Access to Public Records Act violations at:

***publicrecords@isp.in.gov Records Requests***
I would like to make an Indiana Access to Public Records Act request for all records pursuant to IC 5-14-3-4(b)(8), including complaint and disciplinary records for B.J. Patterson, George Smith, Derrek Simpson, Coty Seifert, and Angie Hahn.
I would also like to make an Access to Public Records Act IC 5-14-3 request for all disclosable records involving the investigation of Leslie Shayne Miller referenced in the following link:
https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/INPOLICE/bulletins/213ace9
IC 5-14-3-4(b)(8) provides the statutory obligation to release: the name, compensation, job title, business address, business telephone number, job description, education and training background, previous work experience, and dates of first and last employment of present or former officers or employees of the agency.
IC 5-14-3-9(a) requires acknowledgment of public records requests within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of electronic records requests. IC 5-14-3-3 provides the obligation to inspect public records unless they are exempt from disclosure pursuant to IC 5-14-3-4. IC 5-14-3-9 requires the custodian of the records to provide a written reason if it denies the public records request. IC 5-14-3-1 states that this chapter be liberally construed to implement this policy.
