Latest Filings:
After originally filing a petition to commence the suit on February 8, on July 23 I filed this much more in-depth Amended Petition. On July 26 the State filed a this motion to dismiss, and on August 5 I filed this resistance. There was a public hearing on Friday, August 9 at the Polk County Historic Courthouse with Judge Michael Huppert to decide whether or not the State’s motion to dismiss would be granted, or if the case will move forward. If the case moves forward, it is likely This suit is both “at law and at equity”; in other words, I am seeking both money damages and “reasonable demands” (in the form of injunctions) as redress. The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees “The right of The People to Peaceably to Assemble… and to Petition the Government for a Redress of Grievances.” Thank you, Veterans and Officers, for our safety and for protecting our First Amendment rights and our Fifth Amendment right to due process!!
The various parts of the lawsuit:
i.Class Action for Transgender Iowans launched against the State and Kim Reynolds – for rights violations and defamation against the State, and for defamation and unjust enrichment against Kim Reynolds’ campaign committee for earning more than $2.5 million dollars while using defamation and promises of rights violations against transgender Iowans to do so!
iii. Wilson alleges local officials caused her to remain homeless for 8 years

About the Aug. 9, 2024 hearing:
The purpose of the hearing was to decide if the court would grant the State’s motion to dismiss, or if my suit will move forward to trial.
Prior to the hearing, Wild Willpower put out a Call to Action for Civil Rights!!. I (Sondra) am so thankful for the 12 or so supporters who came to the courthouse to witness and show support! The fact that there were concerned faces in the audience spoke volumes to the Court.
The purpose to decide whether or not my suit would be dismissed, or if it would move forward to trial.
Assistant Attorney General Christopher Deist represented the a State, arguing in favor of their motion to dismiss. KIM REYNOLDS FOR IOWA has not responded to repeated attempts wherein I have attempted service, so they were not represented. They still have until August 19th to respond to service by publication, or a default judgment might be rendered in my favor.
Judge Huppert began by informing us that he has not finished reading our filings, and assured us that he would carefully do so.
Following Mr. Deist’s argument as to why this should be dismissed, I was given ~30-40 min to present my counterarguments, most of which were presented in the the resistance I filed (a resistance is a filing wherein a party argues why the adverse party’s motion ought not be granted).
After arguments were given, Judge Huppert allowed me a request: I told him that if he feels it necessary, as a matter of law, to dismiss my case on the face of the pleadings, to instead to provide me time to amend my pleadings “as justice demands”, in accordance with Iowa. R. Civ. 1.402. He assured me he will definitely take my request into consideration.
Judge Huppert showed signs that he was genuinely listening – his eyebrows raising at times, and he seemed to get a rise out of an analogy about the story of Jesus and the Pharisees, and how the State sounded a lot like the Pharisees… it was applicable and accurate, as I was arguing that the “spirit of the law doctrine” – which Iowa courts do in fact uphold – demands this case move forward.
I will provide an update as soon as Judge Huppert issues a determination.
“I hope I’m helping to interrupt the other terrible agenda from that alternate timeline some people have been trying to make happen! In fact I hope that other timeline just doesn’t exist at all anymore. Screw that timeline! All Iowans need this lawsuit whether they realize it or not! United We Stand!” – Sondra, with related GIF I totally feel:
