Heath W. Gray v. Pennsylvania Department of State
IFP petition · Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Western District, No. 2 WAP 2025 · judgment October 23, 2025
Question presented
IN THIS VOTING RIGHTS APPEAL We all know the rally cry of "No Taxation Without Representation" which gave birth to this great nation. Until this case we have never asked a court of law to determine which taxpaying citizens this principle applies to here in America. Our forefathers wanted to be fairly represented in the government they invested in through taxation just as I do here today. Many of us know the biblical teaching of a righteous father who would not give his son a serpent if he asked for a fish. Similarly, when a taxpaying citizen petitions his government for a redress of his grievances in accord with his first amendment right, he does not expect his government to avoid his grievance of "No Taxation Without Representation", and disingenuously evade rendering a ruling on this fundamental value judgement that our democratic republic was bom from. This decision is not the fish I asked for from our honorable government. All I ask is, if I am going to be denied, please, deny me on the merits in which I framed my argument.. Unless this United States Supreme Court would choose to exercise its authority to grant certiorari, appoint counsel, hear arguments, and render a fair decision on this "No Taxation Without Representation" voting rights appeal, I humbly ask just one question. Question Would this Honorable High Court, please REMAND this suffrage rights appeal to the Pennyslvania Supreme Court to adjudicate my "No Taxation Without Representation" grievance?
