Subject: CONCHR Alabama judge bans prayer
File a NOTICE AND DEMAND TO RESCIND
EMPLOYEE'S WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE CERTIFICATE
EXECUTED BY PRESIDING JUDGE, with a 10-day
deadline.
If the judge is paying taxes on his judicial
compensation, he is in violation of Article III,
Section 1, and the holding in Evans v. Gore,
because he has a contract with Trust #62,
an illegal money laundry domiciled in Puerto Rico
under color of the Federal Alcohol Administration,
which was declared unconstitutional in 1935.
See 28 U.S.C. 455 for authority.
So, the existence of an executed W-4 is
conclusive evidence of an adverse conflict
of interest, and undue influence from an
unnamed party of interest.
Details are available in the several pleadings
now loaded in the Supreme Law Library, notably
the case of State of Alabama v. Kemp. Kemp's
case has a real example which was actually
filed in federal court.

>ALBERTVILLE, Alabama (CNN) -- Dozens of middle school students were
>due to return to class on Friday, following a two-day suspension for
>walking out of class to protest a federal court ruling that bans
>school prayer.
>
>On Wednesday, the students left Alabama Avenue Middle School as
>classes began and marched three blocks to City Hall. They were
>protesting last week's ruling by U.S. District Judge Ira DeMent which
>bans most vocal prayers and school-sponsored religious activities.
>
>The school's rule had been to allow students to pray during morning
>announcements.
>
>Albertville school superintendent Jim Pratt, who walked with the
>protesting students, says he told them the ruling does not take away
>an individual's right to pray. Students were told if they returned to
>class they would receive unexcused tardies, but if they did not they
>would be suspended for two days.
>
>Eleven students returned to class but others who did not received the
>two-day suspension.
>
>"We suspended 48 initially but more students walked out of school
>later in the day so we had a total of about 58 or 59 that were
>suspended," said Lynn Brothers, an assistant principal at Alabama
>Avenue Middle School. "We appreciate our kids and their feelings, but
>they have to understand they are hurting themselves. They need to be
>in school," he said.
>
>"We tried to explain to them that we had nothing to do with it (the
>ruling), that it was a law and we had to abide by it," Brothers said.
>"We encouraged them to use their energy in more constructive ways,
>like writing letters to the judge that made the ruling. And, we urged
>them to come back to class."
>
>Brothers said the students were allowed to hold an organized protest
>on school grounds on Tuesday.
