Reporter appeals ‘Eye of Sauron’ insurance fraud
Revenue boss Gerregano unlikely to answer; appeal of TN contested case will be in Hamilton County
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Thursday, June 26, 2025 – A journalist who took a sabbatical from a radio news talk microphone to sue public officials over misconduct says he doubts he will get a reply in a final pleadings in a 2-year-old case to topple what he calls “The Eye of Sauron.”
David Tulis of Eagle Radio Network filed a motion for reconsideration against the department of revenue’s mandatory insurance program under the Tennessee financial responsibility law of 1977, which the department says authorizes a compulsory universal auto insurance program. The department’s EIVS surveillance system, short for electronic insurance verification system, mines insurance company data targeting a million Tennessee drivers who don’t have insurance.
The lawsuit is over revocation of Tulis’ 2000 Honda Odyssey minivan July 21, 2023, for no insurance. But Tulis says he’s not liable to show financial responsibility for anything and demands EIVS be shut down so it can be recalibrated.
In a nutshell —————–
➤ Agency case ends; appeal planned
➤ Denial of case in chancery is just now appealed to the TN court of appeals
➤ 691 days defending law from profiteering, mischief
“In the 691 days I’ve been defending the certification requirements in the law and fighting this oppression, revenue and department of safety got 77,748 poor people criminally convicted for being insurance industry noncustomers. Almost every one of these people is innocent of any crime or violation under Eye of Sauron. No qualifying accident. Not under suspension from department of safety. No duty to have ‘proof’ or ‘evidence’ of financial responsibility.”
Tulis’ “Lord of the Rings” book and movie franchise reference is to a towering evil eyeball that burns out the landscape. Gerregano, Tulis says, uses “the EIVS eyeball wide open” to revoke people “who can’t be coerced into becoming State Farm or Progressive customers because, as the department says, they lack ‘established capacity’ and can’t write the check.” The law is intended to keep poor people off the roads, department officials say in legal filings.
“Elected officials, the media and many in the public support this fraud,” Tulis says. “I’m showing that the program run by these commissioners is entirely apart from the statute and is official misconduct and official oppression. My three actions in the public interest have put to work eight taxpayer-funded attorneys, including [attorney general] Skrmetti. Lawyers, lawyers everywhere, and every word does stink.”
Tulis says defendants are counting on the courts to lay aside the rules of statutory construction and the plain meaning of the law — the constitutionality of which he says he is defending. Tulis is suing Gerregano personally in U.S. district court and is suing Gerregano and safety commissioner Jeff Long in Davidson County chancery court in a case on appeal.

Date Stamped Copy-Motion to Reconsider Final Order by Agency
"""“Elected officials, the media and many in the public support this fraud,”"""
That's the sad fact. My final conclusion is that they can have their system, and they can stay in it. Our job is not to change the system, or the world. It is to separate ourselves from the statutory system, then defend that by forcing them to apply the constitution IN YOUR CASE. Quietly and privately.
How would we do that?
First, lock them into being honest and following the constitution in a way that allows them to say YES as a show of good faith, but where a NO is a show of bad faith that removes them from protection. Before you speak to them make them sign an agreement to be honest and act in good faith, and to support the Tennessee constitution, specifically Article 1, Sec. 6,7,8,9, and 21. In other words, make them follow their Oath when dealing with YOU.
When they sign it, or not, have an ID document made that is "Testimony" to who you are and your standing as a Principal defined in Article I Section 1.
I also have a 2 page handout detailing 14 different reasons why "statutes" are not law.
I am nearing completion on it all as I recover from some health issues, and I will be happy to share when I am done. But the main point is to raise EVERY AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE you can imagine, long before ever having an "encounter" with the criminals because those will become the subject matter of whatever action you take or a rock solid defense against anything they do.
Thy system never loses if you fight within it. It's criminal actors risk absolutely nothing and have unlimited money and time to waste. Their jobs depend on the fraud you want to to stop. They lie and cheat for a living so will always be far better at it than you.
Your goal should be to build a 10 foot tall brick wall of Law and Good Faith around yourself, leaving the constitution itself as the only entrance for the criminals.
