POLITICAL MISCHIEF IN VERMONT !!!
STATE OF VERMONT GETS IN THE WAY OF
CANDIDATE, Ms. Cris Ericson, WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE
PROMOTED BY SUPER PACs!
JUNE 22, 2012 COMPLAINT TO THE F.B.I.
BY CRIS ERICSON, political candidate in Vermont running against
incumbent Bernie Sander for United States Senator
and also running against incumbent Peter Shumlin for Governor of VT.
To: jim.condos@sec.state.vt.us [jim.condos@sec.state.vt.us];
kscheele@sec.state.vt.us [kscheele@sec.state.vt.us]; will.senning@sec.state.vt.us

Subject: is any “public record” also a state record? 18 USC section 2075
To: F.B.I., Jim Condos,Kathy Scheele, Will Senning, Governor Peter Shumlin:
Question of whether federal law applies to state records?
HOW CAN THE U.S. MARIJUANA PARTY
CANDIDATE, Cris Ericson,
PROVE that she has a legal
right to ask for and accept out-of-state campaign
donations, or to be promoted by SuperPACs,
while the Elections Division is still refusing
to list the independent and minor party
candidates?
Isn’t this fraudulent concealment,
compounded day after day,
of material facts, affecting the potential interstate
“commerce” of campaign fundraising which
can create seasonal employment
and an influx of advertising dollars
in Vermont?
Is “any public record” also a state record,
under 18 USC Section 101 Records & Reports;
18 USC Section 1701 Concealment;
18 USC 2075 Officers failing to make reports –
considering that
Cris Ericson is a candidate for Governor and
for United States Senator?
The Vermont Statutes Online
Title 1: General Provisions
Chapter 5: COMMON LAW; GENERAL RIGHTS
1 V.S.A. § 315. Statement of policy
… free and open examination of records
consistent with Chapter I, Article 6
of the Vermont Constitution.
Is VT Secretary of State,
Jim Condos, violating the Spirit of the Law,
because Cris Ericson filed her candidate petitions
May 29, 2012 and received a telephone call from
the Elections Division July 1 stating her petitions
were verified, (but no letter in the mail)
but his office is threatening
to withhold this information until the “week of
July 1” which could actually be over 30 days,
and inconsistent with “open records”?
