Time to abolish government funded education
by Maddog on Jun.03, 2009, under Court, News
The 3rd circuit court of appeals in Philadelphia, ruled against reading pages from a bible in class.
An article can be found on Law.com
Now here is what grabbed my attention: “Writing for the court, 3rd Circuit Chief Judge Anthony J. Scirica said “parents of public school kindergarten students may reasonably expect their children will not become captive audiences to an adult’s reading of religious texts.”
When parents participate in an elementary school’s curricular activities, Scirica said, school officials have the right to require that the parents refrain from promoting specific messages in class.”

Appealing to the court of common pleas
by Maddog on May.31, 2009, under Court
In an earlier article I wrote about how I was charged with failure to file a local earned income tax return.
After the local District Magistrate found me guilty with no evidence I appealed to the Dauphin County Court of common pleas.
Appealing a summery offense to the Court of common pleas is a simple filing of some paperwork and paying the filing fee. The paper work is filed at the clerk of courts. You need the name of the complaining party as listed on the criminal complaint, the name of the District Magistrate and an address to send them a copy of the notice of appeal. You also need all the basic info on the case: charge, verdict, date & time of the hearing. Also make sure you ask for extra stamped copies of everything you file.
After filing the paperwork I go back to my office and start writing the pretrial motion. (continue reading…)

Statute of limitations
by Maddog on May.30, 2009, under Court, SelfDefense
One day in June of 2007, I received a summons from a District Magistrate in Dauphin County.
It turned out to be a private criminal complaint filed by the West Hanover Township manager, accusing me of failure to file an earned income tax return. The first thing I found interesting was the fact that I was being accused of failure to file by April 15, 2003, for the tax year 2002. Here’s the problem: I was not a resident nor worked in West Hanover Township at anytime during the year 2002. So they did not have jurisdiction.
Now the average chicken neck American craps his pants when he receives a court summons. I was laughing at the weakness of the case. They had none. Even if I did reside or work in West Hanover Township at any point in 2002, the burden of proof was on the prosecution. So I decided to do some legal research. (continue reading…)
Election report podcast
by Maddog on May.23, 2009, under Court, News, Police, Politics, Rebert, podcasts
In this report I discuss some of the Pennsylvania republican primary election results for Tuesday may 19, 2009.
I also discuss public nudity. Liberty, firearms, the economy, mercantilism, and I also have something to say about the 14th amendment.
Hugh Stanley Rebert loses republican primary!
by Maddog on May.21, 2009, under Court, News, Politics, Rebert
On Tuesday May 19, 2009, the voters of York County Pennsylvania denied the incumbent District Attorney the Republican nomination.
Tom Kearney won the Republican nomination for District attorney of York County. Mr Kearney is a former assistant DA who also happened to be the last person who ran against Mr Rebert, back when Mr Rebert was first elected to the office of District attorney in 1985.
Unfortunately the republican nomination for two judges of the court of common pleas of York County went to taskmaster union endorsed candidates. Chuck Patterson (one of Rebert’s henchmen) and Harry Ness.
I’m planning on recording another Underdog Militia Report podcast at the end of the week with more detailed coverage about the election. I might also be discussing other news & events. I’m also going to tell you a story about courage and cowardice.
