About Me:
I am Isaiah and I was born in the Village of Downers Grove, Illinois. I strongly support equal rights and equal, fair and humane treatment for members of the LGBT community, equal pay for women, health care reform, veterans rights, intelligence reform, the separation of church and state, and foreign and domestic policy reforms. I have experience serving in government trust positions, as well as engaging in humanitarian and public service activities and work. Despite negativity that has come in my direction, I continue to be the change I wish to see in the world. I am an accomplished individual. In my free time, I love going to college, writing, predicting activities occurring in foreign countries, and I love sending communication to the government regarding foreign policy issues and goals that I believe the United States should be involved in.

Won a ruling against the City of Fort Worth (including the City Attorney’s Office) with the Texas Attorney General’s Office in an Open Request Request Decision for a human resources complaint made by a Municipal Court Judge against the Chief Judge of the Fort Worth Municipal Courts.
I am the mastermind behind HB 3124. Currently, the Texas Government Code allows public employers to prohibit employees from being able to carry on the job. This even includes places where members of the public can carry. If members of the general public have a right under state law to carry on government property, like in certain government buildings or even on public sidewalks, I believe that public employees and private contractors of public employers should also have a right to do so. Your constitutional rights do not end because you are employed by a public employer or are privately contracted by a public employer.
Successfully brought an atrocity to the attention of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in the Hague who is conducting an analysis of the communication.
