12 Bills
-
H.R.25 Fair Tax Act of 2007
- JeStoneIV : It's a tax on new goods. How could someone go to a store and say, reprogram your cash register so I don't have to pay the Fair Tax. Definitely not likely. The only way to be exempt from paying the Fair Tax is not to shop.
- JeStoneIV : State Income Tax would not be repealed. 16 More
-
S.309 Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act
- Anonymous : NASA says we can't stop global warming, warm earthers; but that's because of the Geospacial Intelligence Agency and the cold earthers having to explain that global warming is not human caused, but temperature changes that are natural, not a warmer earth.
- Anonymous : Cold earthers. 6 More
-
H.R.1302 Global Poverty Act of 2007
- rickvic : Let Nancy save the planet, by herself. Congress is elected to serve the American people. This bill is above BHO's pay scale. Put it to a vote of the people, so congress can see what mainstream American's think of how congress spends our money. Perhaps if more people are aware of what they are up to they would get voted out. USN Vietnam Vet
- Anonymous : It's time for a revolution in this country... they are giving America away one piece at a time and I've had it. USMC Vietnam Vet 4 More
-
S.1025 Fair Tax Act of 2007
- tjbray : With the inclusion of exemptions, comes the inclusion of exploitation of exemptions... you're dreaming if you don't think that every chance an individual gets to cheat the system , he will. Those with the money to do so will have every possible exploitation discovered before the first register in the country rings SALE.
- adelie : In the last few decades, the world, and particularly the United States have become members of a world economy where businesses have subsidiaries anywhere they like. Despite the criticism, taxing income made sense 50+ years ago where depending on what you do, and how you make money, it can be taxed. This has worked its way to a tax code that is 3.4 million words, the longest US code title. As businesses try to save money for consumers, our tax system effectively tells these businesses, in a very complicated way, to move all the labor and profits to other countries. We can't blame corporations for being drivin by the forces of supply and demand, only ourselves for creating a tax system that is contributing to rising foreign investment, unemployment, and ultimately a recession in the US economy. Take that power and burden away from corporations and tax at the level that will give businesses to bring jobs to the United States, and make profits that will encourage domestic business investment. No More nightmare trying to figure things out before each April 15th, and encourage businesses to spend their money on innovation, not tax lawyers (How long would it take you to read 3.4 million words?) 3 More

- Anonymous : Cheney attended Yale University, but he flunked out. Cheney was twice prosecuted for and convicted of drunk driving. Cheney lied to former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey about the grounds for going to war in Iraq. Cheney is a pathological liar. Cheney is incompetent. Cheney would like to think that he is above the law. However, Cheney must pay for crimes against the United States and the world. Submitted by Andrew Yu-Jen Wang B.S., Summa Cum Laude, 1996 Messiah College, Grantham, PA
- Static357 : I am pretty sure that our country has more important issues that need to be addressed right now. Kucinich is just grandtsanding for political purposes. If there was any merit to his arguments, the rancor would be deafening. No doubt Cheney made those statements, but is that really an impeachable offense? 17 More

S.1237 Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2007
- imbud : Alex, You might be considered a terrorist, because of your confusion, if this bill becomes law.
- Peacenick : Why shou;d an un elected official have the power to arbitrarily decide who is a terrorist? 1 More
-
H.Res.530 H.Res.530
- karinova : Agreed. I'm all for censure in re: points 1 & 2. Point 3 is debatable, and should be its own bill.
- eelozano : While I would like to support this bill because of several good points made, I can not vote aye on such a broad bill that attempts to censure the president both for the war in Iraq AND the Libby investigation. 0 More

S.2248 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008
- Anonymous : We have just witnessed multiple felonies committed by Herr Bush to cover up multiple felonies that the Telecoms committed. But if it were you or I that did it, they would hound us and get some whore prosecutor to hang us. Ahhh, Amerika!
- Anonymous : The telecoms always had immunity. Congress took the power to do the work from the government. Telecoms can't do this work for the government anymore because they will be sued when Congress changes it's mind again. The CEO will be fired for incompetence. 31 More

S.2633 S.2633
- aj_franklin : If we had 50 more Russ Feingolds in the Senate, our country would be much closer to the dream of the founding fathers. Instead it has become their nightmare.
- moifrey : I think that exception pretty much has to be in there. Ever since American intervention produced so much chaos in Iraq, the country has been a magnet for all kinds of international thugs and scum looking for a rock to crawl under. Since we still don't have a viable way to turn Iraq into the peaceful democratic country George Bush used to tell us it would be, they'll probably be there for a long time. Congress can't turn off all the counter-insurgency operations. Far better to have the military do that work, anyway, than the CIA. This bill will probably never become law, tho. The veto pen will come out... 1 More

- Anonymous : *** THIS IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG OF INJUSTICES BEING INFLICTED ON OUR POORER AMERICAN'S IN A UNDERFUNDED JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT NEEDS...C*H*A*N*G*E....... **** GOD'S HAND IS INVOLVED IN THIS ONE **** WHEN THIS HORROR IS PROVEN TO BE A TRUE EVENT AFFECTING THE POSSIBLE ENSLAVEMENT OF 2,500 POORER AMERICAN'S, THEN ALL OF AMERICA WILL BE AWARE THAT THIS SAME EXACT TREATMENT OF OUR POORER CITIZENS NEEDS A FORMAL US CONGRESSIONAL AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION NATIONWIDE !!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted on October 31, 2008 by Gideon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’m a little late on writing about this story (via several sources), but it sure is a doozy. You know how it’s common knowlege that most appeals aren’t successful? Well, if you were a pro-se petitioner in Louisiana for the last 13 years, you knew that you wouldn’t win. Why is that? Because the Chief Judge of their Court of Appeals directed his clerk to summarily deny all appeals from pro-se petitioners without circulating the appeal to other judges. The clerk, ridden with guilt, committed suicide earlier this year and left a note confessing everything. This immoral and apparently illegal policy was in place until Jerrold Peterson, the staffer charged with implementing it, blew his brains out in May of last year. Peterson was driven to it in part, his suicide note suggested, by guilt over the nefarious tasks the judges made him perform. In his note Peterson explained how the court gave indigent appellants the bum’s rush. Although every criminal writ application is supposed to be reviewed by three judges, he was deputed to winnow out any that had been filed pro se and arrange for their automatic rejection. Thus were an estimated 2,500 appeals deep-sixed without any judicial consideration whatsoever. Now, facing public embarassment and possible ethical violations, the Louisiana Supreme Court has stepped in and asked…get this…the same appellate court to look at the appeals again. Note that they did not ask the Court to conduct an investigation into this practice, but simply to consider those appeals that were so summarily denied. Because, if we placate the defendants with another cursory look at their appeals, we can sweep the ethical violations under the carpet. At first this whole thing seemed rather odd to me. After all, how is this even possible? Here’s how: Edward Dufresne, Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit, took charge of pro se appeals in 1994. He then had Peterson prepare rulings denying writs for all of them and signed off “without so much as a glance,” according to the suicide note. “No judge ever saw the writ application before the ruling was prepared by me,” Peterson wrote in a second suicide note to the Judiciary Commission. The rulings also bore the names, though not the signatures, of judges Marion Edwards and Wally Rothschild. Neither Edwards nor Rothschild had any clue as to what was in the applications, or even knew that they had been filed, according to Peterson. So you’ve got one complicit judge and maybe three. But there are 5 more on that court. What of them? Are we to really believe that these 5 (or 7) other judges never once questioned the stark absence of pro-se appeals? Particularly in Louisiana, whose system has the following characteristics: * About 90 percent of criminal defendants in Louisiana are indigent. * Louisiana only provides post-conviction legal aid in death penalty cases. Everyone else must either hire a lawyer, find a lawyer to handle their case pro bono, or handle the appeal themselves. Obviously, most have no choice but to opt for the latter. * One criminal defense lawyer in Louisiana told me that if you’re convicted of murder in Louisiana and you’re innocent, you’re actually better off getting the death penalty. At least then you’ll get a team of lawyers, investigators, and experts to help with your appeal. This from a state whose criminal justice system was already crumbling. It’s hard to believe that people such as Judge Dufresne take an oath to uphold the law and to prove equal protection under it. Disbarment may be enough, but only barely. Justice delayed is no justice at all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE SMOKING GUN LINK TO AMERICA'S JUDICIAL INJUSTICES BEING INFLICTED ON POORER AMERICAN'S ! *********************************************************** http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-0/1223616107256210.xml&coll=1 ************************************************************ lawyersforpooramericans@yahoo.com (424-247-2013)

Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials. This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals. This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!! Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus with our US FEDERAL COURTS and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice! For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system. It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$.

- viperfred : FAX COVER SHEET Date: October 17, 2008 HHS OIG TO: Operator zz Confidential Material Enclosed FAX Number: 202 619 1381 Subject: Medicare Abuse Trailbalzer and Palmetto From: Fred Kinder 408 home 408 cell 408 office 408 office fax Dear Operator 19, Thank you for taking time to listen to my concerns about Palmetto GBA and Trailblazer. I sincerely appreciate your help in this matter. These new Medicare providers, Trailblazer and Palmetto, have removed a treatment option (SBRT/CyberKnife) for prostate cancer that is one if not the very best and most cost effective. Medicare had covered treatment of prostate cancer by the CyberKnife but effective de. 15, 2008 that treatment option is no longer available in the Palmetto region. In June of 2008 Trailblazer removed SBRT/Cyberknife as a treatment option. The alternate external beam treatment (IMRT) will cost Medicare a %100 more than SBRT/CyberKnife. This will also increase the patients’ side effects, and reduce cure rates. IMRT requires 40 days of treatment the SBRTCyberKnife requires 5 days of treatment. In my opinion this is criminal. Their actions increase the cost to Medicare and lower the quality and may result in death due to failure of cure by IMRT. I have attached my letter to the Whitehouse to fight the decline in medical care while increasing cost. Best Regards, Fred Page 11 (s) If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. October 13, 2008 President George W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, I am very concerned about the economic crisis. It seems criminal for a Medicare service provider to eliminate a cancer treatment option that would same the country tens of millions of dollars and benefit cancer patients at the same time. Medicare providers Palmetto in California and Trailblazer (TX, OK, CO and NM) are increasing Medicare cost and providing lower quality medical care. Both have eliminated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)/CyberKnife coverage for prostate cancer treatment. The previous Medicare providers covered SBRT for prostate cancer. The alternative external beam treatment, IMRI, will double the cost to Medicare and increase the cost for patient’s transportation and lodging (if required) by 800%. Trailblazer stopped paying for prostate cancer treatment with SBRT June 13, 2008. Effective Dec. 15, 2008 Palmetto will stop treatment of prostate cancer and cancer of the pancreas. Patients should be entitled to have a say in selecting the best treatment for their best quality of life and most important their life. This should be a fundamental right. Please consider the actions of these Medicare providers and take corrective action to save millions of dollars and improve medical treatment for cancer patients. In my opinion both of these providers should have their contracts suspended for cause. My e-mail below to Daniel R. Levinson, Inspector General has the details for the specifics in California. Please feel free to have a staff member contact me at any time. Best Regards, Fred Saratoga CA 95070 408 Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 20:43:44 -0700 To: HHSTips@oig.hhs.gov From: Fred Kinder <fred@usea.com> Subject: Medicare Abuse by Palmetto Government Benefits Administrators (GBA) /California Cc: Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, KPIX Craig Franklin Bcc: Accuray Susan Thompson, Accuracy Catherine_Bonetti, Accuray Debra Mills, Accuray Jim English, Doctor Adler, Doctor Clinton_Medbery, Doctor LaNasa_Peter, Dr. Alan Katz, Dr. D. Fuller, Dr. King Stanford, Dr. Spunberg Office of the Inspector General HHS TIPS Hotline P.O. Box 23489 Washington, DC 20026 Mr. Daniel R. Levinson Dear Mr. Levinson, Inspector General California Medicare provider Palmetto Government Benefits Administrators (GBA) just re-released their policy guide lines for cancer treatment by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in draft form. Palmetto is removing a cancer treatment by SRS/SBRT/CyberKnife for the Prostate and Pancreas. This will result in higher cost to Medicare, higher cancer failure rates adding to patient suffering and additional treatment (adding cost), higher incidence of side effects reducing the quality of life for patients. This treatment was covered by the previous Medicare administrator. Why would, SRS/SBRT, the best External Beam (EB) radiation treatment for prostate cancer be removed? The new policy now covers an External Beam radiation option (IMRT) that cost a 100% more than SRS/SBRT , has increased side effects and a lower cancer cure rate. Why? Also consider the Palmetto EB option (IMRT) requires 40 days of treatment. The SRS/SBRT by CyberKnife requires 5 days of treatment. The cost of patient travel and inconvenience is 800% higher as the result of the irresponsible actions of Palmetto. Palmetto was provided medical evidence by experts in the field (see attachment) for reconsideration before they re-released their policy changes. Their final comment period runs from Oct 30 thru Dec 15, 2008. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) mission statement is as follows: CMS' mission is to ensure health care security for its beneficiaries. A major component in achieving this mission is the successful administration of Original Medicare, or Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare. Medicare Contracting Reform (or section 911 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003) is a major component in achieving this mission. Section 911 mandates that the Secretary for Health & Human Services replace the current contracting authority to administer the Medicare Part A and Part B FFS programs, contained under Sections 1816 and 1842 of the Social Security Act, with the new Medicare Administrative Contractor authority. Through the implementation of Medicare Contracting Reform, CMS will establish a premier health plan that allows for comprehensive, quality care and world-class beneficiary and provider service. In summary the Palmetto changes are not in compliance with CMS Medicare Reform. World-class treatment for early state prostate cancer is SRS/SBRT. Their changes will also cost Medicare additional millions of dollars and reduce the patient’s quality of life. Patients should be entitled to have a say in selecting the best treatment for their best quality of life and most important their life. This should be a fundamental right. In my opinion Palmetto is acting as a Doctor (do they have a license to practice medicine?) for Medicare patients. If they are, then their actions are in violation of the Hippocratic Oath. Is Palmetto acting as a Doctor? As a result of my personal fight with Blue Shield of California for prostate cancer treatment by the CyberKnife I have become a prostate cancer advocate for research, education, screening and treatment. The story with Blue Shield can be viewed at the following CBS link http://cbs5.com/investigates/CyberKnife.blue.shield.2.716740.html . FYI, Blue Shield of California added the CyberKnife as a treatment option for prostate cancer July of 2008, Please enforce the CMS policies on Palmetto so they can not remove SRS/SBRT as a cancer treatment option for prostate and pancreas cancer. Contact me if you have any questions. Best Regards, Fred Saratoga, CA 95070 Cell 408 CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery as Definitive Treatment for Prostate Cancer: May 15, 2008 Donald B.

Fresno St. Fresno, CA 93720-2950 Greetings: Collectively we represent a group of ABR Board Certified Radiation Oncologists with expertise and extensive experience in 3DCRT, IMRT, IGRT, HDR Brachytherapy, 125I permanent source brachytherapy, 103Pd permanent source brachytherapy and 131Cs permanent source brachytherapy. We have prepared this document in support of CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery as definitive prostate cancer treatment. Although the evidence may be regarded by some as preliminary, it is our opinion that robotic radiosurgery is likely to be at least as safe and effective as any other radiation method in the treatment of this disease. To avoid coverage confusion, it should be regarded as an improvement to an existing modality (radiotherapy) rather than classified as a completely new intervention. Our reasons for recommending robotic radiosurgery include the following: 1. FDA approval a. In 2001, the FDA cleared the CyberKnife device for use throughout the body, wherever therapeutic radiation is indicated. This makes perfect sense, as CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery simply represents a very precise and powerful method of ionizing radiation delivery. The FDA 510(k) clearance was based on use of Varian’s Clinac as the predicate device. 2. Medicare Coverage a. In 2003, CMS recognized stereotactic radiosurgery as inclusive of prostate cancer.

- Anonymous : Barack Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States of America. Congratulations to him, and good luck as well, because if he thought that the road to winning the Presidency was hard, wait until he gets into office. He has a laundry list of things that require his attention with the economy. The economy is in a severe disease that needs fast cure. The financial system has to be stabilized, but to his credit, he already has two excellent ideas, sure to win him some points. Some ideas for stimulus that he has are temporarily exempting seniors from having to withdraw from their IRA’s and 401(k) plans after age 70 ½, and temporarily exempting tax payments for those on unemployment benefits. Old ones needs permanent support coming from the government. There must be a fair treatment to everybody. Most especially those in needs, there must be the priority. The small people must be the first target for an economical change. The largest issues he has to keep track of are the bank bailout and credit repair that has begun under President Bush, stemming the tide of foreclosures and changing the outlook of oversight and regulation, to make it more “transparent.” Obama has his work cut out for him, and he will probably soon pine for the simple days of campaigning.

You know how it’s common knowlege that most appeals aren’t successful? Well, if you were a pro-se petitioner in Louisiana for the last 13 years, you knew that you wouldn’t win. Why is that? Because the Chief Judge of their Court of Appeals directed his clerk to summarily deny all appeals from pro-se petitioners without circulating the appeal to other judges. The clerk, ridden with guilt, committed suicide earlier this year and left a note confessing everything. This immoral and apparently illegal policy was in place until Jerrold Peterson, the staffer charged with implementing it, blew his brains out in May of last year. Peterson was driven to it in part, his suicide note suggested, by guilt over the nefarious tasks the judges made him perform. In his note Peterson explained how the court gave indigent appellants the bum’s rush. Although every criminal writ application is supposed to be reviewed by three judges, he was deputed to winnow out any that had been filed pro se and arrange for their automatic rejection. Thus were an estimated 2,500 appeals deep-sixed without any judicial consideration whatsoever. Now, facing public embarassment and possible ethical violations, the Louisiana Supreme Court has stepped in and asked…get this…the same appellate court to look at the appeals again. Note that they did not ask the Court to conduct an investigation into this practice, but simply to consider those appeals that were so summarily denied. Because, if we placate the defendants with another cursory look at their appeals, we can sweep the ethical violations under the carpet. At first this whole thing seemed rather odd to me. After all, how is this even possible? Here’s how: Edward Dufresne, Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit, took charge of pro se appeals in 1994. He then had Peterson prepare rulings denying writs for all of them and signed off “without so much as a glance,” according to the suicide note. “No judge ever saw the writ application before the ruling was prepared by me,” Peterson wrote in a second suicide note to the Judiciary Commission. The rulings also bore the names, though not the signatures, of judges Marion Edwards and Wally Rothschild. Neither Edwards nor Rothschild had any clue as to what was in the applications, or even knew that they had been filed, according to Peterson. So you’ve got one complicit judge and maybe three. But there are 5 more on that court. What of them? Are we to really believe that these 5 (or 7) other judges never once questioned the stark absence of pro-se appeals? Particularly in Louisiana, whose system has the following characteristics: * About 90 percent of criminal defendants in Louisiana are indigent. * Louisiana only provides post-conviction legal aid in death penalty cases. Everyone else must either hire a lawyer, find a lawyer to handle their case pro bono, or handle the appeal themselves. Obviously, most have no choice but to opt for the latter. * One criminal defense lawyer in Louisiana told me that if you’re convicted of murder in Louisiana and you’re innocent, you’re actually better off getting the death penalty. At least then you’ll get a team of lawyers, investigators, and experts to help with your appeal. This from a state whose criminal justice system was already crumbling. It’s hard to believe that people such as Judge Dufresne take an oath to uphold the law and to prove equal protection under it. Disbarment may be enough, but only barely. Justice delayed is no justice at all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE SMOKING GUN LINK TO AMERICA'S JUDICIAL INJUSTICES BEING INFLICTED ON POORER AMERICAN'S ! *********************************************************** http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-0/1223616107256210.xml&coll=1 ************************************************************ lawyersforpooramericans@yahoo.com (424-247-2013)

This immoral and apparently illegal policy was in place until Jerrold Peterson, the staffer charged with implementing it, blew his brains out in May of last year. Peterson was driven to it in part, his suicide note suggested, by guilt over the nefarious tasks the judges made him perform. In his note Peterson explained how the court gave indigent appellants the bum’s rush. Although every criminal writ application is supposed to be reviewed by three judges, he was deputed to winnow out any that had been filed pro se and arrange for their automatic rejection. Thus were an estimated 2,500 appeals deep-sixed without any judicial consideration whatsoever. Now, facing public embarassment and possible ethical violations, the Louisiana Supreme Court has stepped in and asked…get this…the same appellate court to look at the appeals again. Note that they did not ask the Court to conduct an investigation into this practice, but simply to consider those appeals that were so summarily denied. Because, if we placate the defendants with another cursory look at their appeals, we can sweep the ethical violations under the carpet. At first this whole thing seemed rather odd to me. After all, how is this even possible? Here’s how: Edward Dufresne, Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit, took charge of pro se appeals in 1994. He then had Peterson prepare rulings denying writs for all of them and signed off “without so much as a glance,” according to the suicide note. “No judge ever saw the writ application before the ruling was prepared by me,” Peterson wrote in a second suicide note to the Judiciary Commission. The rulings also bore the names, though not the signatures, of judges Marion Edwards and Wally Rothschild. Neither Edwards nor Rothschild had any clue as to what was in the applications, or even knew that they had been filed, according to Peterson. So you’ve got one complicit judge and maybe three. But there are 5 more on that court. What of them? Are we to really believe that these 5 (or 7) other judges never once questioned the stark absence of pro-se appeals? Particularly in Louisiana, whose system has the following characteristics: * About 90 percent of criminal defendants in Louisiana are indigent. * Louisiana only provides post-conviction legal aid in death penalty cases. Everyone else must either hire a lawyer, find a lawyer to handle their case pro bono, or handle the appeal themselves. Obviously, most have no choice but to opt for the latter. * One criminal defense lawyer in Louisiana told me that if you’re convicted of murder in Louisiana and you’re innocent, you’re actually better off getting the death penalty. At least then you’ll get a team of lawyers, investigators, and experts to help with your appeal. This from a state whose criminal justice system was already crumbling. It’s hard to believe that people such as Judge Dufresne take an oath to uphold the law and to prove equal protection under it. Disbarment may be enough, but only barely. Justice delayed is no justice at all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE SMOKING GUN LINK TO AMERICA'S JUDICIAL INJUSTICES BEING INFLICTED ON POORER AMERICAN'S ! *********************************************************** http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-0/1223616107256210.xml&coll=1 ************************************************************ lawyersforpooramericans@yahoo.com (424-247-2013)

Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials. This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals. This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!! Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus with our US FEDERAL COURTS and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice! For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system. It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$. This FACADE and HORROR of our Federal Appeal proce$$ is not worthy of the Greatest Country In The World! ***GREAT SOCIETIES THAT DO NOT PROTECT EVEN THEIR INNOCENT, BECOME THE GUILTY ! A MUST READ ABOUT AMERICAN INJUSTICE: 1) YAHOO 2) GOOGLE (MANNY GONZALES THE KID THAT EVERYONE FORGOT IN THE CA PRISON SYSTEM.) ** A JUDICIAL RIDE OF ONES LIFE ! ***Someone please tell our US Congress that the GED degree that Manny Gonzales acquired in prison is not a LAW DEGREE !!!!!! lawyersforpooramericans@yahoo.com (424-247-2013) 4 More
