PETITION FOR REDRESS SERVED ON GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATIVE LEADERS BY CITIZEN TO STOP UNLAWFUL ACTIONS: PAY RAISES FOR STATE OFFICIALS – THE AMAZON “DEAL” – AND LACK OF CIVIC EDUCATION

ALBANY, November 28, 2018 — Beginning at 10 a.m. today, Queensbury citizen and constitutional activist Robert L. Schulz, will Serve a First Amendment Petition for Redress of Grievances on the Governor and Leaders of the State Legislature regarding unlawful actions in three areas of current concern – giving unlawful pay raises to State Officials, giving unlawful state tax credits and grants to Amazon for establishing a headquarters in the state; and, for failing to uphold laws pertaining to proper civic education in New York schools.  The Petition is titled “First Amendment Petition to the Government of New York State for Violations of the State and Federal Constitutions” and is an attachment to this media release.

The Schulz Petition cites specific constitutional violations for each of the three grievances and seeks a responsive answer from the governor and legislative leaders.  It also provides a remedy for each violation which is in keeping with the law, according to the State and Federal Constitutions.  Schulz states that the efforts and recommendations of the current “Pay Raise Commission” are null and void because they circumvent the required Legislative process as defined by provisions of the New York State Constitution, that the State must notify Amazon that it lacks the constitutional authority to provide the agreed-upon State tax credits and grants, and that the Governor direct the Regents to prescribe each course of civic education specified in Section 801 of the State Education Law.

“The laws which are meant to be upheld by those in office are being broken,” said Schulz, who has been holding government accountable for four decades. “It is past time for the People to stand up in defense of the Rule of Law in general and the laws pertaining to these issues in specific.  This Petition addresses three important areas which impact our citizens greatly, where our government has not only chosen to ignore the Constitution, but the effects are economically injurious to the people. ”

Schulz is asking the media to publish the Petition as a Public Service, to make it available on all media websites, that citizens may download it, sign and mail it to the Governor at NYS State Capitol Building, Albany, NY 12224, thereby giving said citizen-taxpayer-voters an opportunity to ACT on their own behalf and in support of all other concerned citizen-taxpayer-voters.
