Gene
McArthur - Denied Pesticide
Applicator's License Because of 666 Since 2004, Mr. Gene McArthur has
been trying to renew his application for a pesticide license so that he
can continue to contract freely as a cropduster. The Department
of Agriculture has refused to renew his license on the basis of the
federal welfare code 42 USC §666. Gene made an appeal to the
Texas Department of Agriculture. We have helped Gene retain a
lawyer in Austin, Texas, who was recommended to us by Herb Titus.
Herb is standing by to help, and providing some counsel to us as we
work as a team to take on the obstacles to our liberty. On May 7, 2007, Gene submitted a
religious accommodation request along with his Pesticide Applicator's
License. Documents from Gene's first attempt:<>
On a separate matter, David Alan Carmichael began a
dialogue with a Texas Workforce Commission's lawyer sending a comment
the Commissions website. The website indicated that religious
exemptions were no longer availble for those who cannot identify
themselves with an SSN on the basis of religion in order to obtain
employment. The Commissions lawyer responded by requesting
a policy opinion from certain federal agencies regarding the conflict
between Treasury Department policies and the Federal Religious Freedom
Restoration Act. 42 USC §2000bb. |
