2018 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Requests

As I was updating my latest posts with links to older posts, I realized I had never posted about the 2018 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting. Here is the text of the speech that I made and this is the video:

Due to the time limitations on the speech, the written requests are much more detailed than the oral requests. Here are written requests 1 – 6 and here are 7 – 8. This addendum contains a letter signed by Christopher Calhoun in which I believe he committed fraud and violated my taxpayer rights. This second addendum contains an email chain between myself and Susan Maples in which I believe she committed fraud and violated my taxpayer rights.

Here is FTB’s response. I believe that Susan Maples also committed multiple counts of fraud in this response.

Note: I am not suicidal, I don’t have depression issues, I am a careful driver, I rarely drink alcohol, and I do not use drugs of any kind (not even aspirin). My family lives a wholesome life. If something happens to me or my family that is out of character for us, we were set up by the State of California as revenge for exposing their crimes.

Shawn E. Moore of National Talk Radio Had Me Back On to Discuss Lack of Oaths, FTB Paying NGO’s to Sign Up Migrants for ITINs, and FTB’s Customer Service Failures

We immediately launch into content with virtually no chit chat. I give a quick recap of what we’d discussed in the previous episode.

At 2:00, I read off the names of the legislators who do not have current oaths on file with the SOS.  Here is a list of oath laws. In a nutshell, not swearing an oath is a penalty punishable with three years in prison. However, government employees will choose not to take oaths if they know they are going to be committing treason of oath, which has a more severe penalty.  Here are all of the oaths that I have collected from CA state level government employees. Scroll all the way down to nearly the bottom for the State Assembly and State Senate.

Charlee Simons of “Do Not Talk” Had Me Back to Talk About Oaths, Signing Up Migrants for ITINs and FTB’s Disguising Criminal Schemes as Customer Service Failures

I come on at the 4-minute mark and we greet one another and talk about the previous episode we did together.

At 5:15, I give the background information about oath laws and explain why government employees choose not to take oaths.

At 6:30, I read the names of the legislators that the Secretary of State confirmed do not have a current oath on file for 2025 – 2026. Here are all of the oaths that I have collected. Scroll all the way down to nearly the bottom for the State Assembly and State Senate. 

At 9:00, I talk about my next strategy: Since it is illegal to pay government employees who don’t have fully executed oaths, I plan to contact State Controller Malia Cohen to ask her to halt pay on these people and claw back funds already paid.

Following the Money… FTB Has Disclosed Some Things That Have Warranted a Deeper Dig…

Summary: FTB has increased its budget by $35 million a year for customer service staff — but it doesn’t appear they’ve hired any more staff and their customer service numbers are getting worse.

2023: FTB Admits Failures and Increased Budget

In March 2023, FTB admitted that penalties and fees were being falsely imposed as a result of customer service failures. They didn’t outright say this, but they also implied that wage garnishments, liens and levies were also being falsely imposed due to these customer service failures.

FTB requested a $25.23 million per year budget increase in order to correct these customer service issues. FTB had stated that they intended to hire more customer service agents and give raises and bonuses to the existing staff.

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.

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:

Restore Rebuild Had Me Back to Give an Update on the Petition to Have State Senator Scott Wiener’s Legislative Work Voided

Show Notes:

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):
