Mrs. Kruse,
I am respectfully requesting scanned copies of the records that were provided late last year (attached). This request is being made because I am requiring copies of these emails with the State of Iowa mark at the top of each email. This is for the purpose of submitting these emails with my complaint against Iowa Public Information Board Erika Eckley with the Iowa Supreme Court Attorney Disciplinary Review Board. The evidence indicates that she knowingly spread false allegations of criminal conduct (Iowa Code Section 708.7 – Eckley lied to the people of the State of Iowa) and unspecified forms of abuse while seeking expanded political power for her position.
I have one final question. If Iowa Public Information Board Executive Director Eckley contacted your department in July 2023 and your department took zero criminal actions against me. Why does the evidence indicate that she falsely spun allegations of harassment (Iowa Code Section 708.7) and abuse supported by zero evidence against me (indirectly as supported by the evidence) in September 2023 during a public meeting? Is it not reasonable to expect that a licensed lawyer in the State of Iowa should be held responsible regarding language utilized that is defined by the Iowa Code (i.e., harassment/abuse)?
It is my belief that, as I defended your rights to freedom of speech for twenty years. It is my expectation that if I want to build a database based upon public DNS information and communicate that I believe, as supported by the evidence, that Iowa Public Information Board Erika Eckley is an unethical, incompetent liar (attempt to conceal public records, misrepresented facts in dismissals, misrepresented public records provided during a complaint, disregard for complaints, misrepresented facts in annual reports). I should not have to worry about being investigated by the State of Iowa’s law enforcement or shoved onto a plane heading for an El Salvador prison.
Are we not seeing this very same paradigm at the national level regarding people spreading false allegations of criminal conduct supported by zero known evidence for the purpose of saving their careers and status or achieving a political sum? At the same time, these alleged public servants maliciously destroy the lives of the least among us.
This is my last request: don’t let your department become the State of Iowa’s wing of citizen oppression and intimidation every time what evidence indicates is an unethical leader at the top ranks of the State of Iowa experiences hurt feelings when lawfully presented with the evidence of who and what they are. If you have a problem with me, send your officers to my front door and let’s share donuts and a cup of coffee and have a discussion.
“Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.”
John 7-18
After I served my country, it wrapped itself around me like a thorn.
When I served the Lord my God, he restored me as I became reborn.
I respect the authority God has given the State of Iowa over me,
but I serve only the Lord, my God.
Respectfully,
