Freedom Dove

[edited]

Have you heard of Tanawah Downing and Jessica Saxton? They are a couple of regular people who have stepped in as Civil Rights Advocates from Washington, D.C., who are traveling across America, serving Public Notices to city councils. Their mission is simple but powerful: to remind public officials of their oath, to hold them accountable to the Constitution, and to expose the corruption that undermines our freedoms.

This grassroots effort is inspiring courageous men and women to step up as civil-rights advocates and take part in the movement. One of them is Melissa Duffield, a civil-rights advocate and federal SafeSport whistleblower, who recently stood before the Cedar Rapids City Council to serve Public Notice.

Below is a glimpse of her statement that captured the attention of many across the nation:

“My name is Melissa Duffield. I am a civil rights advocate, and I need to provide public notice to the City of Cedar Rapids. This is in accordance with the U.S. Code of Civil Procedure, as well as Rule 17 and Rule 20 of the United States Supreme Court.

The Constitution of the United States has overreaching requirements that every state must follow. States cannot enact their own alternative legislation subsidized by the guarantees of the Constitution. That would mean that the state laws are more powerful than the Constitution—and that is unlawful.”

Melissa went on to highlight specific constitutional violations occurring in Iowa, including:

• The use of information charging by prosecutors instead of grand jury indictments (violating the 5th Amendment).
• Emoluments violations where public officials are effectively paid to break the law.
• Violations of Article I, Section 10, which forbids states from impairing the obligations of contracts—including the oath every public servant swears to uphold.
• 14th Amendment violations, abridging the privileges and immunities guaranteed under the Bill of Rights.

Oath Violations

Every judge, attorney, and officer swears an oath to uphold the Constitution. Yet by enforcing BAR procedures and foreign corporate franchise rules over living men and women, they violate that oath.

• Hale v. Henkel (1906) reminds us: corporations, including BAR franchises, have no standing over living men.
• Marbury v. Madison (1803) affirms: laws repugnant to the Constitution are void.
• United States v. Will (1980) confirms: a judge who usurps jurisdiction commits treason.

By imposing foreign guild procedures upon the people, courts act not as neutral arbiters but as extensions of a private commercial monopoly.

Melissa made it clear that these violations are not abstract—they are harming real people, including advocates, whistleblowers, and community members who have spoken out against corruption. She warned that federal cases are already underway and that officials who continue to fund or direct unconstitutional actions will be held accountable.

In her closing, Melissa courageously called out the city’s corrupt financial dealings, conflicts of interest, and misuse of taxpayer money. She reminded the council that they could no longer deny knowledge of these violations, as they were now officially on notice.

Her words carried both conviction and urgency:

“The legal notice puts you on record from this moment forward that you cannot deny—you knew. You are tied to paper trails of targeting, retaliation, conspiring, and committing crimes against whistleblowers and civil rights activists like me. The next phase of legal action is federal cases… This community will exercise its right to remove every single one of you that does not report a crime that you know has existed to the Department of Justice.”

Melissa’s testimony was bold, unwavering, and necessary. It reflects a growing movement of civil rights attorneys, advocates, and ordinary men and women who are refusing to remain silent in the face of systemic corruption.

This movement is spreading across the country—and it is just the beginning. What began with courageous attorneys serving notice in city council chambers in America is now igniting a fire of awareness that cannot be contained.

Across every nation, men and women are waking up to the reality that constitutions, charters, and human rights treaties are being subverted by private corporate interests. The same oath violations, the same judicial overreach, and the same silencing of whistleblowers are playing out in Canada, Europe, Africa, Asia, and beyond.

The ripple effect of these Public Notices is global: each time a council is served, each time an official is reminded of their oath, the message spreads—the people remember who they are, and the world remembers what true law is.

What we are witnessing is not just a national movement but the early waves of an international awakening. One city, one council, one nation at a time, this stand for constitutional rights, natural law, and human dignity will continue to rise until it spans the globe.

Tanawah Downing Addresses the Lakeville, Minnesota City Council

On September 21, 2025, Civil Rights Litigator Tanawah Downing spoke before the Lakeville, Minnesota City Council. He reminded the council that over 22,000 criminal affidavits have been filed on behalf of victims charged unlawfully “by information” instead of grand jury indictment.

He identified two specific federal crimes being committed:

• 18 U.S.C. § 242 – Deprivation of rights under color of law
• 18 U.S.C. § 241 – Conspiracy to deprive of rights

Tanawah emphasized that no state can create or enforce inferior legislation that substitutes for the guarantees of the Constitution. He warned the council that attorneys may try to cite Hurtado v. California (1884), but reminded them that the Constitution itself — not judge-made rulings — is the supreme law of the land.

He closed with a powerful reminder:

“Any erroneous view of the law — such as placing a judge-made ruling above the Constitution — is an automatic abuse of discretion. If you continue to pay public officials to commit these crimes, you will be complicit in that abuse of discretion.”
