Have any of you had to look your children in the eyes and not know if you were coming back home to see them?

Have any of you spent years of your life away from your children while on military deployments and other overseas assignments?

Have any of you lost your children because the country that you served abandoned and betrayed you and your children and then criminalized you to cover it up?

There is nothing this world can take from me or threaten me with to halt the work that I am doing.  I have already lost everyone and everything that I loved and that mattered to me.  The only thing that I have left is to serve and defend the lives of others in the name of Jesus Christ.

May God bless those who, in the middle of a world of darkness, worked to help me see light.

The Form of the Iowa Court

A licensee’s licensed actions and conduct provide evidence for the form of the licensor.

“Bricks made with testimony lacking evidence are equivalent to bricks made with straw without clay.”

“Lies and misrepresentations pay for the Iowa Legislature’s bills in Erika’s mErika.” 

“The evidence supporting Nichol’s Sin produces the question of how many innocent are locked up in the State pen. If the evidence indicates an Iowa County Attorney has zero honor, issue them a pair of pajamas and put them to work at the State’s license plate spawner.”
