Therefore, I am calling my advisors through the years to begin discussions on a non-violent march on the State Capitol building of Texas to demand that I and others in future years be allowed ballot access in all Texas elections irregardless of religion.

Followup, Interesting Case:
Minersville School District v. Gobitis, 310 U.S. 586 (1940), was a decision by theSupreme Court of the United States involving the religious rights of public school students under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Court ruled that public schools could compel students—in this case, Jehovah's Witnesses—to salute theAmerican Flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance despite the students' religious objections to these practices. This decision led to increased persecution of Witnesses in the United States. The Supreme Court overruled this decision a mere three years later, inWest Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943).
