00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,602
This page describes thirty years of David Medeiros’s

2
00:00:02,602 --> 00:00:05,561
disability and Medicaid advocacy as a living Constitution.

3
00:00:05,561 --> 00:00:07,926
That phrase is civic framing, not a legal finding.

4
00:00:07,926 --> 00:00:10,589
Verify the history with a dated record for each action:

5
00:00:10,589 --> 00:00:15,144
what was filed, who received it, the government body, governing law, response, and final outcome.

6
00:00:15,144 --> 00:00:17,864
The First Amendment protects speech and petition, but a

7
00:00:17,864 --> 00:00:21,058
petition does not guarantee agreement, investigation, or relief.

8
00:00:21,058 --> 00:00:25,672
The Fourteenth Amendment constrains state action through due process and equal protection.

9
00:00:25,672 --> 00:00:29,399
Congress may attach clear conditions to federal funds, including Medicaid.

10
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:32,180
The Supremacy Clause resolves conflicts between valid

11
00:00:32,180 --> 00:00:35,729
federal and state law; it does not automatically create a claim or remedy.

12
00:00:35,729 --> 00:00:39,988
Advocacy, archives, receipts, and long service do not prove constitutional violations.

00:00:39,988 --> 00:00:43,004
