Mr. Richard Gammick
Washoe County District Attorney

Dear Mr. Gammick:

This is an open letter which will be displayed on websites including www.unrgrandjury.com and www.patriotsforpolygraphs.net .

As an independent volunteer ombudsman for the people of Nevada, it disturbs me greatly that polygraph examinations are not fully employed in defending justice and decent government in our state.

I request that you volunteer to undergo a credible polygraph examination bearing on your personal integrity and the character of Nevada government. Questions to include, in part:

Are you attempting to frustrate, undermine, and otherwise prevent a credible and comprehensive grand jury investigation into alleged criminal activities at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR)?

Do you see it as part of your role as district attorney to shield corrupt public servants from accountability for violating state and federal laws up to and including the Constitution of the United States?

Do you see it as part of your role as district attorney to shield corrupt public servants from accountability for committing despicable and atrocious animal abuse?

Do you see it as part of your role as district attorney to shield corrupt public servants from accountability for maliciously injuring or ruining the careers of competent and dedicated members of UNR's faculty?

Do you see it as part of your role as district attorney to shield corrupt public servants from accountability for rigging bids at UNR?

Are you now a major player in a cover-up of serious crimes committed by members of UNR's administration?

Are dedicated, honest, professional law enforcement officers in Washoe County sometimes abused by high public officials for the heinous purpose of intimidating and suppressing law-abiding critics of government?

Has any person employed by the University of Nevada , Reno (UNR) ~ including President Milton Glick ~ ever directed law enforcement officers to harass or intimidate critics of the university’s administration?

Are phone calls ever tapped ~ and emails ever monitored ~ by UNR agents?

Are telephone communications ever monitored by agents of UNR’s administration with intent to gain sensitive information originating with judges attending sessions of the National Judicial College ?

Are email messages employing UNR servers ever monitored by agents of UNR’s administration with intent to gain sensitive information originating with judges attending sessions of the National Judicial College ?

Do judges in Washoe County sometimes ignore wrongful actions committed by fellow judges or other public officials?

Do judges in Washoe County sometimes ignore credible reports of wrongful actions committed by public officials and deny requests for grand jury investigations because duplicitous hoops are not jumped through? (Such hoops obviously designed to frustrate and discourage requests for grand jury investigations.)

Do you agree with the following words drawn from the Nevada Open Meeting Law Manual?

         The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies
         which
serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their
         public
servants the right to decide what is good for them to know and
         what is not
good for them to know. The people insist on remaining
         informed so that they
may retain control over instruments they have
         created.  
 

Do you agree that the sovereign people have clear right to retain control over their public servants?

Do you agree that it is a form of treason for public servants to work against the sovereign people retaining control over instruments they have created?

Have you ever done anything to frustrate or prevent the sovereign people maintaining control over yourself? 

Have you ever done anything to frustrate or prevent the sovereign people maintaining control over any other public servant(s)?

Is it a form of treason for any public servant(s) to usurp powers that belong to the sovereign people?

Is the grand jury concept, in part, a means by which members of the sovereign
people may maintain control over instruments they have created?

Have whistle-blower laws in Nevada been emasculated or terminated by lawmakers holding elective offices?

Are Nevada’s whistle-blower laws sometimes ignored or circumvented?

Is it an act of treason for public officials to emasculate or terminate means by which they may be controlled by the sovereign people?

Are critics of corruption in Nevada government sometimes arrested and railroaded in court with intent to silence them?

“When a judge acts where he or she does not have jurisdiction to act, the judge is engaged in an act or acts of treason.” Do you agree with this court ruling issued in two federal cases?

Do you feel free to ignore court rulings issued in federal cases?

Do you have personal knowledge of any judge in Washoe County ever acting where he or she did not have jurisdiction to act? Is it your practice to ignore acts of treason committed by local judges?

Is it just plain wrong for you to ignore acts of treason committed by public officials in Washoe County?

Is it a violation of your oath of office to ignore acts of treason committed by public officials in Washoe County ?

Is it an act of felony perjury for you to violate your oath of office?

Is your oath of office merely a ceremonial formality?

Are you a champion of open government where public servants acknowledge their obligation to not hide details of the people’s business from them?

Can government of, by, and for the people be healthy and viable when public servants work against the principle of openness in government?

Is it a form of treason for public servants to work against the principle of openness in government?

Do you possess just authority to withhold material details about the sovereign people’s business from them?  

Do you possess just authority to withhold material details about your loss of any lawsuit involving Washoe County from the sovereign people?

Have you refused, to date, to fully explain how you and county commissioners managed to lose the Ballardini Ranch lawsuit?

Will the loss of the Ballardini Ranch lawsuit cost the taxpayers of Washoe many millions of dollars when repayment of an involved loan is considered?

Did you solicit and/or accept a bribe to lose the Ballardini Ranch lawsuit on purpose?

Have you ever accepted a bribe having anything to do with a lawsuit involving Washoe County?

“The Constitution of these United State is the supreme law of the land. Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void of law.” Do you agree?

Is it a form of treason for any public official(s) to ignore or otherwise intentionally violate any element(s) of the Constitution?

Does Washoe County suffer from a culture of corruption where some public officials feel free to ignore or otherwise violate the Constitution of the United States?

Can judges in Washoe County be fairly characterized as a “good old boy network” which exercises a double standard in law enforcement to protect persons having political juice, this including ignoring or otherwise violating the Constitution?

Do judges in Washoe County sometimes ignore the principle of conflict of interest?

Is it an act of treason for any public official to deny uninhibited free
expression to any member of the sovereign people?

Is there any law which trumps the right of the sovereign people to employ uninhibited free expression when criticizing their hired help?

Is free speech a first line of defense against tyranny, violations of the Constitution, corruption, abuses of delegated public powers, and public servants running amok?

Are law-abiding critics of government sometimes arrested and jailed for the purpose of intimidating and suppressing them?

Is it an abuse of delegated powers for any member of a public body to direct the removal from a public meeting of a critic because he displays a sign of protest containing material having been previously found by one or more courts to be protected language?

In Nevada, is the wrongful removal of a law-abiding critic from a public meeting punishable by the responsible official losing his office?

Is criminal evidence held in Washoe County police custody (any jurisdiction) secured from loss or tampering in a fail-safe manner?

Is the office of the Washoe County District Attorney ultimately responsible for any loss of, or tampering with, criminal evidence held in Washoe County police (any jurisdiction) custody?

Do you have personal knowledge of the how and why of any criminal evidence in Washoe County being lost or tampered with?

When criminal evidence in Washoe County is lost or tampered with, is there a “reflex”procedure in place which immediately causes a detailed, credible investigation into the how and why?

During your tenure as Washoe District Attorney, has the loss of, or tampering with, criminal evidence ever been treated in a ho-hum manner?  

Is it the fact that evidence in the custody of law enforcement in Washoe County can not be lost or tampered with unless you, Mr. Gammick, specifically approve of said loss or tampering?

To your knowledge, has any public official in Washoe County ever violated any element of the Constitution?

To your knowledge, has any public official in Washoe County ever 
            violated the principle of free speech as guaranteed in the First
            Amendment to the Constitution?

Is it true that Mr. Nolan Klein was wrongfully imprisoned for over 20 years for crimes he did not commit?

Is it true that after many years in prison, Nolan Klein was offered his 
            freedom if he would agree to not sue the state for wrongful     
            imprisonment? (He refused this offer and was adamant about his
            innocence to the time of his death.)

Is it true that Nolan Klein died in prison in 2009 and that his death was
            premature due to his being abused with poor medical care for a
            number of health issues? (How many Nevada prison
inmates die
            prematurely due to poor health care while incarcerated?)

Is it true that credible witnesses placed Nolan Klein some 30 miles
            away from the crimes of which he was accused at the time they were
            committed?

Did Nolan Klein’s public defender act in a committed and competent manner to do everything she could and should have done to protect his interests?

In general, do public defenders in Washoe County do everything they could and should do to protect the interests of each accused person assigned to their care?

Do judges and public defenders in Washoe County sometimes conspire together to predetermine the outcomes of trials involving accused, indigent persons?

Would a qualified, outside, independent, honest investigative entity find that many persons now incarcerated in Nevada prisons and jails are actually innocent of charges against them and that they were victimized by unscrupulous and duplicitous public defenders?

Should any accused, indigent person ever be told by his public defender, "I don't give a damn about you?" (Yes, this has happened.)

Are kangaroo trials ever employed in Washoe County ?

Would a kangaroo trial ever be permitted in any jurisdiction having a competent and honest district attorney?

Do you agree that requesting (not requiring) key public officials to undergo periodic polygraph examinations regarding their integrity would reduce corruption within Nevada government?

Do you agree that Nevada government currently lacks effective, working checks and balances?

Do you agree that our legal system in Nevada is not a justice system?

Do you agree that Nevada’s judges constitute a “good old boy” network which too-often insulates rogue public servants from accountability for wrongful actions?

Do you agree that too many Nevada officials ignore conflicts of interest with impunity?

Do you agree that some Nevada employees ignore the sovereignty of we, the people?

 Are persons accused of serious and petty crimes permitted to take polygraph
  tests to
attempt clearing themselves ~ if they so request?

 Do you agree that Nevada government is currently subservient to a power
  elite?

Do you know of individuals residing in Nevada or elsewhere who
            possess and wield undue influence over government in our state?

Do you agree that persons unwilling to undergo polygraph examinations should not be public employees?

Are you aware that California, for most intents and purposes, has decertified voting machines that are just like those still used in Nevada?

Are you aware that Nevada’s voting machines “are highly susceptible to tampering" according to world-class, computer security experts?

Can you prove that you were honestly elected in an open and transparent manner where concerned citizens were free to monitor integrity of process at close, visual range?

Do you agree that no person presently holding elective office in Nevada can prove in a meaningful way that he or she was elected in an open and transparent manner where concerned citizens were free to monitor integrity of process at close, visual range?

 Do you agree that attorneys should be evaluated and licensed by persons
 elected by, and responsible to, the sovereign people?
 

  The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States says this: “In
 all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and
 public
trial, by an impartial jury …” Do you agree that the Founding Fathers
 were precise wordsmiths and clearly meant “all” and not “some” when they
  
committed “[i]n all criminal prosecutions” to parchment?

     Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, says this: “Where rights secured by the
      Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation, 
    
     
which would abrogate them.” Do you agree?

               Do you agree that the United States Supreme Court is not justly 
              
empowered to unilaterally amend the Constitution or to assign a fraudulent
               definition to any word in the supreme law of the land? (“All” does not mean
                “some”.)

                Do you agree that it is just plain wrong for the State of Nevada to hold that
          
      persons accused of misdemeanors are not Constitutionally-entitled to trial by
            
     jury?

Mr. Gammick, once again I request that you volunteer to undergo a credible polygraph examination bearing on your personal integrity and the character of Nevada government. Your written response prior to February 15, 2010, will be appreciated.
