LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR THIS CANDIDACY

Whistleblower Protections Under Federal Law

Dr. Deas's U.S. Senate candidacy is protected under multiple federal whistleblower statutes that specifically authorize his public disclosure of institutional wrongdoing and his right to petition the government for redress.

Section 1558 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
Federal law protects healthcare employees who report violations of patient protections and safety requirements. Section 1558 prohibits retaliation against employees who report patient care violations, refuse to participate in illegal activities, or testify about institutional misconduct. This protection extends to Dr. Deas for reporting malpractice concealment at Emory Healthcare, patient deaths resulting from unsafe practices, and Section 1557 disability-based civil rights violations against patients.

Section 21F of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
Federal law protects securities whistleblowers who report violations of securities laws to the SEC or participate in SEC investigations. Section 21F explicitly prohibits retaliation against individuals who report securities fraud, including misrepresentations to bond investors. Dr. Deas's disclosures regarding Emory University's failure to disclose material patient deaths, federal investigations, regulatory capture, auditor deficiencies, and political corruption to bond rating agencies fall squarely within this protection.

Dr. Deas reported comprehensive evidence of securities fraud to FBI Special Agent Kathryn Cordes of the Atlanta Field Office on November 3, 2025, strategically locking in a protected 120-day window under Dodd-Frank Act Section 21F (SEC Whistleblower Protection Program) for filing a comprehensive SEC Tip, Complaint, and Referral (Form TCR). The detailed SEC Form TCR submission documents the largest municipal bond securities fraud in history, a $4.2 billion scheme affecting 13 bond series issued between 2013 and 2025, detailing upon information and belief: Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 securities fraud; material omissions of more than 15 federal investigations; concealment of KPMG audit deficiencies; regulatory capture through federal appointee placement; dual-channel political corruption totaling $3.1 million in bribes to sitting U.S. Senators; interlocking directorates creating irreconcilable conflicts of interest; institutional investor coordination through proxy voting; and organized racketeering affecting major financial institutions, auditors, underwriters, and federal contractors.

This filing ensures full statutory protection under the SEC Whistleblower Protection Program and establishes contemporaneous notice to federal law enforcement of the coordinated fraud scheme involving federal corruption, witness suppression, and retaliation.

Critically, Rule 21F-17(a) states: "No person may take any action to impede an individual from communicating directly with the Commission staff about a possible securities law violation, including enforcing, or threatening to enforce, a confidentiality agreement."

First Amendment Right to Petition the Government
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution explicitly protects the right to "petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Running for U.S. Senate is a direct exercise of this constitutionally protected right. When institutional mechanisms fail, when federal agencies refuse to investigate, when regulatory bodies are captured, when the system protects powerful institutions over patients, citizens retain the fundamental constitutional right to appeal directly to voters and participate in the electoral process as candidates seeking office.

The Supreme Court has recognized that this right extends to "demands for an exercise by the government of its powers in furtherance of the interest and prosperity of the petitioners" and encompasses citizens' approach to all departments of government, including legislative action through candidacy.

Public Disclosure and Campaign Speech
Dr. Deas's platform disclosures are protected public speech advancing matters of significant public concern: patient safety, securities fraud, institutional accountability, and federal agency capture. These disclosures receive the highest constitutional protection and cannot be suppressed through litigation, regulatory threats, or institutional retaliation.

"For years, I have chosen to put patients and those who cannot defend themselves above my own career and financial security, standing up to injustice in a field that is often unforgiving to those who insist on doing the right thing above all else. Your donation of any amount will empower me to continue this work and to press forward in the ongoing fight for accountability and justice. This time, in the U.S. Senate. Even the smallest contribution will help sustain these unyielding efforts for meaningful change and ultimately save and protect thousands of lives" Dr. Deas
