Certificate of Default Has Been Served to the CA State Senate for Failing to Remove Scott Wiener and Other Unlawful Employees

April 2025 update: Scott Wiener has filed an oath with the SOS for 2025 – 2026, but it does not change the fact that all his work from the years he was working without an oath must be voided.

Important News!

State Senators Steven Bradford, John Laird, Nancy Skinner and Susan Talamantes Eggman, as well as Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, are also working unlawfully without a current oath on file with the Secretary of State (SOS).  Each of their individual oaths is on my oaths page; scroll all the way down to nearly the bottom to find their names.

The SOS also confirmed that Scott Wiener still hasn’t filed an oath. At this point, there is no denying this is intentional criminal malfeasance. Please sign my petition to have him vacated from office and his legislation voided.

Signing the petition is important so that we have a ledger of who does not consent to the crime of legislators working unlawfully. Calling has even more power, so please also call daily (phone numbers at the bottom of the post).

The Certificate of Default

On September 26, 2024, a Certificate of Default (pages 1 – 18 and pages 19 – 35), which is step 3 in the Common Law legal process, was served to four people: Secretary of State Senate Erika Contreras, Deputy Secretary of State Senate John Nam, State Senate Human Resources Executive Sheila Braverman and State Senate Human Resources Executive Lynn Cervinka for conspiring to allow 20 + people to work unlawfully without oaths and bonds. The summary is:

Pages 1 – 3: Relevant precedent legal rulings and Maxims of Law.

Oaths & Salary Info for BAR, BOE, DOF, DGS, DOJ, FTB, GovOps, OLC, OTA, SCO, State Assembly, State Senate, and Superior Court Employees

Oaths of Office are for partisan politicians: people who are elected, are appointed by someone who was elected, or work for one of the above. Oaths of Office expire at the end of the elected person’s term and new oaths must be taken each term (except for the state senate, which is a four year term, but their oaths are only valid for two years at a time). Oaths of Allegiance are for permanent employees who stay on no matter how the partisan winds blow. Oaths of Allegiance last for the duration that person is on that job.

A previous post explains the importance of Oaths and Bonds/Insurance, how order Oaths and proof of Bonds/Insurance, and what to do if you find an Oath/Bond violation. A more recent post gives more info on the how it appears the California State government may be illegitimate due to the lack of bonds/insurance.

I am slowly but steadily uploading all the Oaths that I have collected and linking to their salary information. If you are looking for a particular person’s Oath, check below to see if I already have it. If a name is listed but the Oath has not yet been uploaded, ping me and I’ll get it uploaded ASAP. Check back periodically because I have more Oaths ordered that will hopefully arrive soon.

The Playbook That Government Agencies Use To Get Away With Criminal Schemes

I watched a video about a woman in Arizona (AZ) who had her children stolen by Child Protective Services (CPS).

As I watched the video, my jaw dropped as I realized that CPS in AZ used strikingly similar tactics to violate the laws as the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) in California (CA) used against me. It can’t be a coincidence that my experience was so similar to hers when it was a completely different issue, involving a completely different agency, with completely different circumstances. 

I am starting to realize that there must be a playbook of tactics that government agencies use to extract extra revenue for themselves. Obviously, the specific tactics are customized by the agencies, but the general playbook appears to be identical: 1. Lay a trap, 2. Deny due process 3. Rig the justice system and 4. Have other government agencies cover it up.

FTB’s 8 Schemes To Overcharge Taxpayers

For those that prefer video, here is a 12-minute speech that I made to State Controller Betty Yee via webinar in December 2020, which sums up the info below. We’re also working on a documentary series exposing the corruption.

The over-simplified explanation of the schemes that I got ensnared in is that the Franchise Tax Board does not apply the money that you send them to your account right away. Then they charge you penalties for “paying late.” Then they over-charge interest on these penalties. 

But you have to understand that the reason that they’ve been getting away with their criminal activities is because tax law is complicated, and they work the complex nature of the laws to deceive the public on what the laws actually say.

Update on the Oath/Bond Situation

In my last post on this topic, I had stated that I’d ordered copies of oaths and bonds from the State Senate Rules Committee on December 3, 2024 for some state senators and many staffers. Those oaths/bonds were due on December 17. As of that post on March 7, 2025, the State Senate had not provided any oaths. In that document, I’d also requested other information, as well.

In my last post on this topic, I’d also stated that I’d ordered oaths/bonds from the Secretary of State on 100 people. On February 10, 2025, the SOS stated that only two of those people had current oaths on file, and no one had a bond on file (the images of the letter are at the bottom of the previous post on the topic).

I always said that the large number of people lacking current oaths could be a mistake and that I was trying to confirm that the SOS information was accurate. However, the lack of bonds is intentional — it seems that the State of California stopped following the bond laws when Reagan was governor.

FTB Has Admitted That The Collections Agents Can Still Manually Inflate Balances Due

At the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) meeting on March 24, 2025, FTB discussed their new software system, called EDR2.

Per the presentation, EDR2 is being rolled out one department at a time. One of the first departments to switch over to it was Collections. Here is a screenshot from the presentation in which they said that the new EDR2 software being utilized by the the Collections department “…will result in increased revenue…”

In the public comment time, I reminded FTB that I had documented in the Grab v. FTB court case that Collections agents Alexis Bear and Carrey Burton-Beilby had each directed me to send more money than the bill stated was due, then manually altered FTB records to make it appear that was always the amount due. In the court documents, I showed exactly how FTB “cooked the books.” Then I asked if the new EDR2 software allowed this manual inflation of balances due.

“We The People” Can Take Back Our Constitutional Power Via Civil Grand Juries

TLDR: In most counties, now is the time to apply to the civil grand jury. Serving on the civil grand jury is an amazingly powerful way to root out government corruption. Even if you can’t serve, you can contact the people who are on the civil grand jury and ask them to utilize their power to root out corruption.

The civil grand jury segment is from 14:30 – 32:00 of this video. From 4:45 – 14:30, I give an update on the oath situation: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=3259. From 32:00 – 40:30, I talk about FTB’s $20 million scheme to hunt down low income people: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=3185. From 37:00 – 41:00 we talk about CA’s opaque and questionable spending habits.

A colleague of mine, Richard Michael of Big Bad Bonds, has come up with a brilliant strategy for “we the people” to take back our constitutional power: restoring the power of civil grand juries.

Each county in California is required, at least once a year, to impanel at least one grand jury. Grand juries, historically, have jurisdiction over criminal matters. In California, however, the Legislature has mandated that the county grand juries must provide oversight over specific civil matters in the county (and cities/unincorporated areas within the counties), as well.

As Richard explained to me, the civil grand jury is incredibly powerful as they have the power to investigate corruption at county/city government agencies. However, the courts and district attorneys have figured out how to control and neutralize this power. Richard is encouraging us to take the power back.

I’m Trying to Track How the $10.5 Million that Franchise Tax Board Gave to NGOs for “Educational Purposes” is Being Spent

This was originally posted on January 4, 2025 and has been updated a few times. The most recent update was on April 4, 2025, where I uploaded more documents that I have yet to review. I’m hoping someone will beat me to it! On March 12, 2025 I also updated this post with more info on Golden State Opportunity Foundation.

Background

In 2022, as part of the SENATE BILL 154 – BUDGET ACT OF 2022, the legislature ordered FTB to spend $20,000,000 of FTB’s budget “for outreach to create increased awareness of, and participation in, the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program. These funds shall be allocated via contracts to nonprofit and community-based organizations. The participating nonprofit and community-based organizations shall particularly focus their outreach effortson persons who file tax returns using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) (page 9).”

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a tax credit that can be taken as a cash refund if the credit is more than the person’s tax liability. People who make less than $12,000 per year are not required to file a tax return; the EITC is a carrot to essentially pay them to file a return. ITINs are California’s equivalent to social security numbers that are issued to illegal immigrants (California is a sanctuary state).

It Appears That Not One CA Assemblyman or State Senator That I Checked Has Filed an Oath for the 2025 – 2026 Legislative Session. Kounalakis Also Doesn’t Have a Current Oath

April 5: I have made a new post with updated information.

Quick summary: I requested oaths on 100 people. It could be a mistake, but it looks like not one Assemblyman, State Senator or staffer filed oaths for the 2025 – 2026 legislative cycle. Lt. Governor Kounalakis also doesn’t have a current oath. I am asking you all for help to confirm whether or not oaths were filed.

For those that prefer video: here is an interview I did this morning. My segment starts at the 9-minute mark and goes to the 38:00 minute mark.

On January 31, 2025, I requested copies of oaths and bonds from the Secretary of State for 100 people, for many elected officials and deep state staff, including Scott Wiener: page 1,  page 2 and page 3.

On February 5, 2025, the SOS responded via email 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 mailed a check right away, but it took a while to clear my bank. The SOS sent the response package via snail mail. The cover letter is dated February 10, but the package wasn’t mailed until February 19. I received it on Tuesday, March 4. Images of the cover letter are at the bottom of this post.

Interestingly enough, Scott Wiener and several others filed old oaths that were already expired. This indicates to me they are trying to cover their butts. However, the law clearly states that the oaths are to be filed within 30-days of taking office — to file an oath after it has already expired doesn’t change the fact that they were working unlawfully during that term.

Shockingly, it appears that of the 100 people that I requested oaths for, not a single oath has been filed for the 2025 – 2026 legislative term by State Senators, Assemblyman or their staffers. This could be an error. I sent an email to the SOS asking for confirmation that there are no current oaths filed. The SOS said it was possible there was a gap between the filing date and the SOS recording date. However, it is hard for me to believe that in the 4.5 weeks that had lapsed between the filing deadline and the SOS response, that all of them fell into that gap.

Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis also does not have a current oath on file. Since her oath was supposed to have to been filed in January 2022, she definitely did not fall into the gap. Prima fascia evidence indicates that the failure to file for this session is not an error:

Kat Espinda of One New Earth Interviewed Me!

One New Earth interviewed me 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.

Here are links to more information on some of the topics we talked about in this episode:

Update on the Petition and Efforts to Void Unlawfully Implemented Legislation

Uncensored Beat had me back at the end of November to give an update on the petition to void unlawfully implemented legislation. We also talked about how the word “equity” is deceptively utilized to justify taking away opportunities from most and making society less safe for all. In addition to how Wiener uses “equity” in his legislative work, we talked about how the CA Department of Education tried to use “equity” to limit kids access to algebra classes and remove calculus altogether (the parents pushed bak and stopped it from happening).

Here is the full update so far, as of the end of December:

— Before I served the petition, I discovered more State Senators working unlawfully without oaths: (scroll all the way down to almost the bottom of the oaths page):

FTB’s 2024 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights (ATBOR) Meeting

The speech was limited to 5 minutes, so it was short and succinct. This is the text of the speech. The written submission is long and detailed, and includes links to proof of the allegations made.

This year, I’ve also made three legislative change requests: 1 treat married couples as a single tax entity. This has more details on exactly how the married couple embezzlement/racketeering scheme works that I’d referred to in the speech. 2. Repeal 1917C2 as it violates our right to protest. 3: Remove the loophole that lets FTB evade our right to due process.

Summary: This year, I made 7 ATBOR requests:
