(Take this page to a Notary Public to sign and stamp)

I, Theodore “Ted” Hayes, Jr., being first duly sworn, depose and say that because of my poverty, I am unable to pay the costs of this case. I declare under penalty of perjury that I own no significant assets and my income is limited to my basic needs. This filing is made in good faith to protect the “Constitutional Genius” of the Reconstruction era and the rights of the liberated.

Executed on March 9, 2026.

Theodore “Ted” Hayes, Jr.
