Primary Phone: 802-652-6300 Vermont League of Cities and Towns, 89 Main Street Suite 4 Montpelier, Vermont 05602-2948 Defendants _____________________________ Motion for Emergency Injunction to prevent irrevocable harm to plaintiffs capacity to serve as Governor of Vermont Come now plaintiff Emily Peyton and moves our State Superior Court in the County of Essex court for emergency injunctive relief for the following reasons and to serve the purpose of an open democracy. 1. Factual Background The forenamed defendants are all planning to promote the open public scrutiny of public policy and proposed by the Governor Shumlin and Senator Brock, and prevent public scrutiny of candidate Peyton’s platform. The plaintiff has appealed in person and by other means to allow the public access to the platform consisting of comprehensive policies that Plaintiff Peyton earnestly presents in full faith that they represent the betterment of Vermont and her people. The Plaintiff has secured through her diligence and effort the support of 500 signatures from the good people of Vermont who believe in open democracy. Those 500 hundred signatures were offered by 500 citizens who declared by their action that they desired Plaintiff Peyton’s presence in the Gubernatorial race. It is The plaintiff's desire to serve these 500 the benefit of their action, and make her platform visible for public choice. Further a majority of Vermonters has registered as Independent voters, thereby it can be correctly supposed that Vermont is under serviced by either the Republican or Democrats party when the voting majority has removed their alignment to either. Further it is a fact that open democracy is refreshing and improves our American experience, and it is an absolute fact that without access to a candidate, the voting public has their choice removed. Vermonters deserve to choose. The choice of Governor belongs to the full voting public of Vermont, and to no one else. If in their wisdom the people of Vermont choose a candidate of a different color or sex, or party orientation, that can only happen if they are allowed to see that candidate, hear that candidate, question that candidate and compare the policies of that candidate next to their other gubernatorial choices. It is a fact that polls cannot be accurate if they do not mention the candidate in question, nor can they reveal truth of public opinion if the public has been prevented from having any wider choice than between two options. Obviously, the plaintiff will be prevented from earning the confidence and votes of the people of Vermont and then in turn prevented from the capacity to serve in office by the defendants. This not only harms the democracy, it harms Vermont and all the people in it, and it harms the plaintiff’s ability to work and her entitlement to remuneration for that work. For the above stated reasons, and in the true spirit of the law which exists to serve the benefit and good of, the Plaintiff herein requests of the Court with respect and prayer that an Honorable Court grant an emergency injunction removing the hindrances to her participation in democracy. The plaintiff would further suggest that the VLTC ( Vermont league of Cities and Towns) with its nonprofit status has a duty to be impartial politically, and that impartiality is not served by excluding one candidate aligned by party non denomination with over 40% of her potential constituents. Further the plaintiff would lastly suggest that the Burlington Free Press cannot accurately describe themselves as open or free if they limit the freedom of speech that is directly and pointedly expressed through the hard work and determination of a candidacy, nor is it their purview to limit the choices of Vermonters in the name of news. We do not want a manipulated election, we do not want to remove competition, where competition serves the good of all by improving the quality of our democracy. Thus and for the forenamed reasons named reasons this plaintiff submits this motion to a true Judge for direct action before the debates. The first debate is scheduled on this Thursday October 4th at Essex fairground, sponsored by the VLCT and the second debate is scheduled on Sat, October 13, 7:30pm – 8:30pm by WCAX, on Wednesday WPTZ Wed, October 17, 7:00pm – 8:30pm and lastly the Burlington Free Press is scheduling debates on October the 23 and 24. If these debates are held without the plaintiffs participation the outcome of the election will not be true or valid, because the public will not have the opportunities as described above as they deserve to make a fully informed choice. It is with wholesome gratitude of the service this Court to attend to this motion that the plaintiff submits in request for an emergency injunction to remove the immediate , unwise, inappropriate and unfair hindrance to her ethical obligation to participate in Vermont’s democracy.

The average Vermonter may think that it is from lack of interest of effort that only two candidates are covered. Not so. If my emails are sporadic, it is because I am not organized to issue them and I do not want to ply everyone with too many, and I apologize for their obvious lacking. There is an enormous amount of travel and effort involved here. Here is the emergency injunction case in a different format, Bruce couldn't open it before, apologies then for that. The motion is for an emergency injunction for inclusion in the major media debates, some of which have already happened. This is despite the fcc rule which states if a media station holds a debate and a candidate asks to be included then they must allow it. Apparently WCAX, BFP and others feel that the rule has been altered so that in effect there is no equal time fcc rule anymore. The motion was more expensive to file than I knew, $263.-, and more than a mere motion is the onset of a full case. It has yet to be served because the cost of serving is $85.- per (x4). I have yet to file for a waiver of the cost of filing, that waiver they have 30 days to respond to, thus the time factor of the emergency injunction is disregarded, I will only have post-election recourse. I have begun to ask supporters for public phone pressure on Burlington Free Press, and WCAX for inclusion. Of course there is not any polling that includes my name, thus the polls are not indicative, let alone the censorship of the major media (BFP told me that in their experience the independents never win more than 1%, therefore since I was going to lose, they are choosing not to cover the campaign, let alone invite me to the debates). This is a tough fight. I am not hopeful that I can open up the doors. I am also taking footage on the road for a future film. The Vermont League of Cities and Towns, instead of including me, allowed the Republican candidate double time, and despite the fact that they are a non-profit and supposed to be unbiased. I do apologize if my shorthand is sometimes difficult to follow. Please understand the race is in full gear, I am hard pressed to fit it all in. I am in and out of the car, all over the state of Vermont showing up for the job. I am thankful for your support and prayers. the WCAX debate on the 13th and the BFP debates are on the 23, 24th.

Hello dear CC, This is the emergency injunction, I am sorry I haven't time to make individual address, the filing fees were same as a case fee 263.+ . ALOT, I had expected 100, I am doubtful that the court will be proactive and supportive of the open democracy that we are focusing to happen, but I do beleive and see miracles and determination will get us everywhere. I wish for a gal/guy friday for the help I need to cart things around at this top speed. I have misplaced a thumb drive, I don't really care, but it does show that I am juggling so much that some balls drop. The thumb drive is educational for whomever finds it, and one way to keep a transparent government is to litter the country side with thumb drives. The motion is rudimentary and lacks substantiating law, but frankly, it is corrrect truth and worth the effort to pursue. I have submitted also a request that the service of this be done by a third party not the expensive sheriff, although i met john Hathoway who was openly supportive of the work in the lobby at security. I do not expect or hope for such a good ruling, and in fact I expect little. It is just the beginning, and it can end with inclusion. What else..... If there is someone who thinks the might care press please forward I haven't enough time myself currently. ATTs Steve Howard and Sue Davis, ccd on this email, I know you are going to cringe at the lack of substantiation, I had 3 hours to prep it. So here we go, with my gratitude for your comforting witness along this path to the new world, Emily ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Thomas Simon Date: Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 9:26 AM Subject: Case 1115B-F To: emily peyton Call or write Emily Peyton 802 579-5524 PO box 821, Putney VT 05346 http://www.hempfullygreen.com http://www.emilypeyton.org
