Exact Constitutional Text Violated (verbatim from constitution.congress.gov and archives.gov/founding-docs)
14th Amendment, Section 1:
"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Article VI, Clause 2 (Supremacy Clause):
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof, and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
What Mark Raymond Did to David Medeiros Personally
Mark Raymond served as Connecticut State Chief Information Officer. In that role he maintained and defended the DBEB firewall that systematically rejected David Medeiros’s email-only FOIA submissions to seven state agencies. The firewall was configured to block ADA-compliant email communications that Medeiros required because of his TBI. David Medeiros sent multiple FOIA requests seeking records about the ABI Waiver program, provider directories, and fraud. The requests were rejected with server codes (e.g., BL02EPF0001B416) on November 10, 2024. Mark Raymond’s office received notice of the barrier and the disability accommodation request. They took no corrective action. The firewall remained in place, blocking David Medeiros from accessing public records that documented the very fraud and discrimination he was reporting.
Exhaustive Constitutional Law Analysis
The 14th Amendment Due Process Clause guarantees a meaningful opportunity to be heard when fundamental rights are threatened. David Medeiros had exhausted every state remedy. CHRO complaints were hard deleted unread. FOIA appeals were unlogged or pocket vetoed. DSS grievances were met with endless extensions and “no nexus” responses. His FOIA requests were the final step in that exhaustion process. Mark Raymond’s maintenance of the DBEB firewall denied David Medeiros any realistic state remedial process. This is procedural due process denial of the highest order. A disabled whistleblower was denied any realistic opportunity to be heard or obtain relief. The pattern meets Monell policy liability because Raymond’s role was not isolated. It was part of the institutional defense of the gatekeeper model.
The Supremacy Clause makes federal law supreme. The ADA and federal Medicaid statutes are clear federal laws that Connecticut was accepting billions in federal dollars to implement. David Medeiros’s FOIA requests explicitly documented state nullification of these federal mandates. As State Chief Information Officer, Mark Raymond had an affirmative constitutional duty to ensure state IT systems complied with federal law. His maintenance of the DBEB firewall allowed Connecticut to continue nullifying federal rights with impunity.
The 1st Amendment Right to Petition protects the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. David Medeiros’s FOIA requests were quintessential petitioning activity. Mark Raymond’s office received the petitions and then blocked them. This constitutes a classic chilling effect and denial of the right to petition the state government.
Whistleblower Protections Implicated
David Medeiros’s FOIA requests were protected disclosures under the False Claims Act and the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act. Mark Raymond’s maintenance of the firewall frustrated those disclosures and left David Medeiros without state transparency safeguards.
ADA Accommodations Violated
David Medeiros explicitly requested accommodations for his TBI (email-only communication). The DBEB firewall was configured to reject those exact communications. Mark Raymond’s office failed to accommodate those needs. The barrier perpetuated the very disability based discrimination he was reporting.
Impact on ABI Resources and Vulnerable Populations
The lack of corrective action allowed the gatekeeper system to continue, starving ABI Resources of referrals and preventing David Medeiros from scaling services for other TBI survivors. Thousands of vulnerable ABI waiver participants, elderly, low income, severely disabled, and those with TBI, were denied choice, forced into substandard or segregated care, and subjected to the same exclusion that harmed David Medeiros. The policy created an institutional bias favoring containment over community integration, directly contrary to Olmstead. This is not mere denial of service. It is the torture and enslavement of the most vulnerable, trapping them in a system that profits from their suffering.
TBI Specific Harm to David Medeiros
The DBEB firewall weaponized David Medeiros’s executive-function impairment. Each rejected submission required him to restart documentation, re-explain his case, and expend limited cognitive energy. This resulted in severe fatigue, memory lapses, headaches, and emotional strain that stole months of healing time.
Summary
I’ve spent 30 years watching real people, survivors of the worst kinds of trauma fight quietly just to make it through another day. Moms, dads, brothers, sisters, kids… people we love. They’ve been through a nightmare, and somehow they kept going, holding onto faith when no one was looking. But here’s what hurts my heart: too many of them didn’t just survive the trauma they had to keep surviving a system that was supposed to help them. A system that too often completely ignored them. Blocked their choices. Let money disappear into the wrong hands while families scraped by. I used to believe the system worked. I think most of us did. But it doesn’t. Not the way it should. And that’s not okay. So I’m speaking up not for attention, not for me, but for you. For your family. For every person you love who’s been made to feel powerless or forgotten. If you’re hurting in silence right now… if you’re exhausted from fighting alone… if you’ve ever felt defeated this is for you. You are not defenseless. You are not alone. I won’t stop talking about this. I won’t let the system keep ignoring your pain or controlling your life. Because you deserve better. Your loved ones deserve better. I am doing this because of the heart and values my family raised me with, I’m following the principles that shaped my family’s beliefs, taught and instilled in us from Jesus. If you know the roots of mass suffering and can stop it in its tracks, do it, and don’t stop! Turn your prayers into action. I will not watch people suffer in silence. David Medeiros
When David Medeiros first saw how the ABI Waiver was torturing and enslaving the most broken among us, brain injured survivors, children, families already shattered by trauma, he couldn’t stay silent. He discovered who was doing it, what they were doing, when it started, where the money was going, how they were hiding it, and why it was happening. The system was not broken by accident. It was designed to profit from suffering. Elected officials and insiders were getting rich while the vulnerable were tortured and enslaved, locked into bad care, denied choice, forced into poverty, and left to suffer in silence. David became a whistleblower because he couldn’t watch it anymore. He reported everything first to the state. Then he went federal, all the way up. He sent detailed referrals to the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division under Attorney General Merrick Garland. He documented fraud, spoliation, retaliation, ADA violations, and 29 active federal investigations. He sent certified mail. He followed every rule. He exhausted every remedy. But at that time, the federal government was helping to cover up the crimes. They used David’s own brain injury against him, making it harder for him to keep up with paperwork, phone calls, and endless delays, to punish him, silence him, and violate his constitutional rights. David asked for basic accommodations to help him understand and remember. They did not do this. They hid their names and deleted his communications. What happened to David Medeiros is a horrific example of how the government abuses the population. The system tortured and enslaved vulnerable people for profit. David fought from the ground all the way up to the President of the United States of America. Because of his brain injury, David created systems to remember everything and saved 30 years of proof for himself that has become a historic monumental system needed for truth and justice. The biggest picture is this: a horrific, evil system abusing the most vulnerable for profit. If this makes you feel sick to your stomach, that’s because it should. David is still fighting so this never happens to you or someone you love.
