His father, Don Hamrick, Sr. was a pipe-laying road
construction foreman.
The nature of the construction industry meant that every year
or two there would be a new contract in another state and so the
family traveled all over the Southeastern United States from Texas
to Floridad, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas.
Parents divorced during his childhood the traveling continued
with his mother.
Amateur Radio
Don Hamrick is a licensed Extra Class
Amateur Radio Operator with the call sign KI5SS.
The Extra Class license is the highest class license available
from the Federal Communications
Commission.
Education
Self-studied in matters of
congressional affairs, constitutional and civil rights laws and
even in international human rights through six years of federal
litigation over the Second Amendment as an unrepresented civil
plaintiff fighting for First Amendment right to petition the
Government for redress of grievances and the Second Amendment right
to "openly" keep and bear arms from a U.S. merchant seaman's point
of view but never getting past the Motion to Dismiss because
judicial bias and corruption in the federal courts and misconduct
in the U.S.
Department of Justice blocked his pursuit for his day in
court.
Don Hamrick thereby achieved his education from his 6 years of
federal litigation and life experiences with the federal agencies
of the U.S.
Government.
The lessons in life learned by Don Hamrick from dealing with
the U.S Government is that a political nobody who cannot afford an
attorney is ignored in spite of the First Amendment right to
petition the Government for redress of grievances.
This is not what the U.S.
Constitution intended for the People today.
Employment
History
Don Hamrick had did seven year tour in the U.S.
Coast Guard from 1974 to 1981.
During his Coast Guard years he was a radioman aboard the USCG
Cutter Vigorous in 1980 during the [[Mariel_boatlift|Mariel
Boatlift] when Jimmy Carter was President.
He transitioned from the Coast Guard to a 19 year career as a
U.S. merchant seaman, 1988 to the present, as a rank and file
member of the Seafarers International Union
while maintaining a home of record in Arkansas.
But he served
the United States in other ways.
Since the U.S.
Merchant Marine is the life and blood of the United States'
economic life and is the supply line for the U.S. military in times
of peace and war combined with his seven year service in the
U.S.
Coast Guard he has spent half his life in service to the United
States in active duty and civilian employment.
Candidacy for
the U.S.
Senate
Don Hamrick has never held public office.
Don Hamrick is running for the U.S.
Senate as a blue collar independent candidate with ample first
hand experience dealing with the federal judicial system as an
unrepresented civil plaintiff to know that individual citizen's who
cannot afford attorneys are essentially ignored by the federal
agencies and the federal courts.
From the federal courts own self-assigned absolute immunities
from liabilities for errant judicial functions and maliciously
misapplying absolute immunities to unlawful administrative
functions to rights-stripping federal court opinions such as the
following has motivated him to run for the U.S.
Senate with intent to initiate legislation for judicial
reforms, government reforms, and congressional
reforms.
No Right to Redress under the First
Amendment
*These scholars [referring to Law Review
authors] note that the Petition Clause by its terms refers only to
a right "to petition"; it does not also refer to a right to
response or official consideration.
Supreme Court ruled that local law-enforcement had no duty to
protect individuals, but only a general duty to enforce the
laws.)
*DeShaney v.
Winnebago County Department of Social Services, 489
U.S.
189, 109 S.Ct.
998, 1989 (1989) (There is no merit to petitioner's contention
that the State's knowledge of his danger and expressions of
willingness to protect him against that danger established a
"special relationship" giving rise to an affirmative constitutional
duty to protect.
While certain "special relationships" created or assumed by the
State with respect to particular individuals may give rise to an
affirmative duty, enforceable through the Due Process Clause, to
provide adequate protection, see Estelle v.
Gamble, 429 U.S.
97; Youngberg v.
Romeo, 457 U.S.
307, the affirmative duty to protect arises not from the
State's knowledge of the individual's predicament or from its
expressions of intent to help him, but from the limitations which
it has imposed on his freedom to act on his own behalf, through
imprisonment, institutionalization, or other similar restraint of
personal liberty.)
*Bowers v.
Devito, 686 F.2d 616 (7th Cir.
1982) (There is no constitutional right to be protected by the
state against being murdered by criminals or madmen.
It is monstrous if the state fails to protect its residents
against such predators but it does not violate the due process
clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, or, we suppose, any other
provision of the Constitution.
The Constitution is a charter of negative liberties; it tells
the state to let the people alone; it does not require the federal
government or the state to provide services, even so elementary a
service as maintaining law and order.)
*Town of Castle
Rock, Colorado v.
Jessica Gonzales, individually and a next best friend of
her deceased minor children, Gonzales, et al. No.
04-278 (125 S.Ct.
2796) (June 27, 2005).
On December 27, 2005 this case was appealed to the
international tribunal, Jessica
Gonzales v United States, Inter-American
Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) in Washington, DC.
On July 24, 2007 the IACHR declared the claims in Jessica
Lenahan's (formerly Gonzales) Petition No.
52/07, to
be admissible in respect to Articles I, II, V, VI, VII, XVIII and
XXIV of the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of
Man.
*Don Hamrick v United State, Petition
No.
1142-06.
Hamrick's case is designed to provide the countermeasure to the
No Right to Police Proctection Doctrine of the U.S.
Supreme Court.
Hamrick's Petition is still in the investigative state at the
IACHR.
*The King's College Internatonal Centre for Prison Studies
in London, England publishes their annual World
Prison Population List.
In their October 2006, Seventh Edition the show the United
States as having the most people in prison per capita than any
other nation in the world.
The chart below is shows the Prison Population of the Top 15
Counties.
The fact that the United States has the most people per capita
in prison than any other country in the world says a lot about the
conditions of life in the United States as becoming, or already is,
a police state.
It is a question on whether strict gun control laws invite
crime as one of the causes of high prison populations.
By the above events Don
Hamrick's platform is one for individual rights, duties, freedoms
and responsibilities, and government reforms, greater enforcement
of empeachable offenses, and the restoration of the Bill of Rights
to its original standing.
