PROVE ME WRONG (Editorial By John Gentry)

By John Gentry [Constitutional Republican, Independent Candidate, TN House of Representatives District 45] –
I challenge any judge, attorney, Senator, Representative, Commissioner, or any government official to prove me wrong. I will debate anywhere, anytime – in live-stream, in court, or in a legislative hearing room, or on the floor of the House or Senate.
Our 1796 state constitution was declared by Thomas Jefferson to be the “least imperfect” and “most republican.”
Its DECLARATION OF RIGHTS includes rights not enumerated in the federal constitution or other state constitutions.
It places additional limitations upon government to protect the people from corruption – a.k.a. tyranny and oppression, limitations that do not exist in the federal constitution, or other state constitutions.
Since Tennessee has the very best constitution, Tennessee will be ground zero for restoring the form of government envisioned by the founders and our forefathers. I have been called to lead the way.
If we intend to preserve the American way of life, and defend our birthrights, we must first restore the provisions of our state constitution.
Among those provisions, no judge shall hold any other office of trust or profit (Article IV, § 7), and hereditary emoluments shall not be conferred (Article I, § 30).
But our state government acts in gross violations of constitutional limitations, which is the breakdown and root of all corruption in government, and all dissatisfaction with government.
Judges and justices hold expressly prohibited second offices of trust in the Tennessee Code Commission and Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct. These unlawful office holdings are also unlawfully conferred hereditary emoluments.
Two Tennessee Supreme Court justices; Justice Roger Page, and Justice Jeffrey S. Bivins, who are members of the Tennessee Code Commission use the power of their unlawful office to misconstrue and deceive what the law is, resulting in gross oppression of rights, violation of separation of powers, and a government that is tyrannical to hundreds or thousands of good citizens daily.
In the Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct; Judge Brigham, Chancellor Atherton, Judge Bray, Chancellor Childress, Judge Whitworth, and Judge McMullen use the power of their unlawful office to protect corrupt judges across the state, receiving and dismissing hundreds of complaints every year without investigation. The failures of this unlawful agency cause gross deprivation of rights, violation of separation of powers, and causes emotional and financial devastation to thousands of Tennessee families, every year.
What is an office of trust?
In the year 1890, the book “A TREATISE ON THE LAW OF PUBLIC OFFICES AND OFFICERS” was entered into the Library of Congress, by an Act of Congress. In 2005, that book was cited in a MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE ASSOCIATE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT, defining an office of trust.
From that book;
§ 1. A public office is the right, authority, and duty, created and conferred by law, … an individual is invested with some portion of the sovereign functions of the government, to be exercised by him for the benefit of the public.
§ 16. Office of Trust – An office whose duties and functions require the exercise of discretion, judgment, experience, and skill is an office of trust, and it is not necessary that the officer should have the handling of public money or property, or the care and oversight of some pecuniary interest of the government.
There can be no doubt, based upon strong supporting authority, that the Code Commission and Bd of Judicial Conduct are offices of trust.
In an email from Senator Kerry Roberts, Senator Roberts stated;
“Serving on the Board of Judicial Conduct is not considered by legislators and most legal experts to be an office of trust. I know John Gentry and some others have an argument otherwise – and I respect that argument – but I’m not aware of any legislators in the General Assembly who have been swayed by that argument.”
Who are these so-called legislators and “legal experts!?!” What are their arguments!?! Whoever they are, I say they are liars and traitors to their oaths, or at the very least, they are incompetent and unfit for office.
I have testified many times in the General Assembly about these prohibited offices of trust. Not once, have my arguments been challenged. Not once has any Senator or Representative proven me wrong.
In fact, because of my testimony before the Joint Government Operations Committee on January 27, 2020, the Honorable Senator Mark Pody asked the committee legal counsel; “Concerning the constitution, Article VI, § 7 [prohibited offices of trust] is this in any way a violation of that?” Legal counsel responded; “Doug Garrett, with legal services sir, I’ll have to check that. I… I don’t have an answer for you. But I will be glad to get back to you on it.” (See Video evidence linked below)
Our state constitution creates and establishes our government. It defines our “form of government.” Our “form of government” was crafted as it was, through experience of British Ministry corruption, to prevent corruption, and to ensure the peace, safety, and happiness of the people. That is why our constitution prohibits second offices of trust to judges.
Our first step in restoring a proper government that works for us the people, rather than the government that works for their own greed and special interest of today, is to restore the provisions of our state constitution.
I am doing my best to lead the way by example. I am trying so very hard to awaken the American Spirit, that I know sleeps in most all of you. I strive to teach and educate my fellow citizens of their birthrights, and how to defend the American way of life lawfully and peacefully.
If you would like to learn more about our state constitution and what are offices of trust and hereditary emoluments, I wrote a book explaining our state constitution. Respond to this email, and I’ll bring a free copy to your office, or alternatively request an electronic copy.
In Court ORDER, Tennessee Court of Appeals Judge Jefrey Usman stated;
“… through reading his [John Gentry] written work…, various filings authored by him…, and his oral argument…, he appears to be a citizen who is deeply passionate and knowledgeable about the Tennessee Constitution.”

About the Author: John Gentry is a Constitutional Republican and Independent Candidate for the Tennessee House of Representatives, District 45 that includes Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, and Millersville.
Mr. Gentry thank you for your hard work in this matter. As is the USA government judges, I’m sure we have rotten ones in our “Great State of Tennessee”.
I wish you luck in your run for election.
I usually vote republican but I voted for John Gentry for governor in the last election. He is a better choice than Bill Lee which claims to be a christian conservative. Bill Lee is nothing but a rino. Remember how he handled the pl*ndemic. Closed churches, schools and mask mandates. Took away our God given rights. Instead of standing up for the people of Tennessee like a few other Governors did for their states. Just because a person puts a [R] behind their name means absolutely nothing. Do your diligent research vetting candidates you are thinking about voting for. John Gentry knows the Constitution. I wonder if very many other politicians do because they sure don’t act like it.
In God we trust not government or man.
Have a blessed day.
As usual, the main stream media here in Tn. controlled the election process. We heard little to nothing about John Gentry and when we did he was painted as some kind of nutcase. If he runs again, he’ll have my vote. The Republican Party has deserted our roots for profit and control of people. They are simply Democrats in disguise. Lee should never have been elected and I’m ashamed to say I voted for him.
Oh, it’s not the media controlling the elections. They don’t run the cell/wifi hackable “voting machines”. The Big Two Uniparty does. Look into how John received 11,000 (73%) more votes running as a senate district candidate (in the midst of the 2020 scamdemic) than he did statewide last election running for governor against Lockdown Lee. The fact that he has near zero publicity does not explain the “off-year” 2022 election numbers. People that would vote for John for Senate damn sure would vote for him as governor especially after Lockdown Lee’s executive orders and corporate welfare giveaways. Open it to the whole state for governor and he gets half the votes? No way. This is the definition of Fraction Magic, been obvious in TN since at least 2012 Republican presidential primary. See Bev Harris and Bennie Smith Fraction Magic.
But according to Tre Hargett, elections can only be challenged by losing candidate for a real audit (they call recount). You don’t have “standing” to ensure free and fair elections. You cannot verify your vote. TN elections are a sham.
