S.2168 - Identity Theft Enforcement and Restitution Act of 2007
- ygmichaels : I am a victim of Idenity Theft (Bio-Metric) approved by the FDIC. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), confirmed to the U. S. Senate and U.S. Congress that: “Ms. Gibson-Michaels specifically complained about one of her conversations with a co-worker being tape-recorded by that co-worker and relied upon by management.” See Dorris v. Absher, 179 F.3d 420 (6th Cir. 1999)(coworkers in a small office had a reasonable expectation of privacy). The FDIC willfuly violated the wiretap statute. Ms. Gibson-Michaels demands that FDIC reported officials are held accountable.
The wiretap statute prohibits the use of certain electronic, mechanical and other devices to intercept oral communications, §2511(1)(b), See §2511(1)(e). Accordingly, 18 U.S.C. §2511(1)(d) prohibits the “USE” of the contents of any wire, oral or electronic communication by any person, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained through by interception in violation of the [Wiretap] Act. See Leach v. Bryam, 68 F.Supp.2d 1072 (D.Minn, 1999). See Rodgers v. Wood, 910 F.2d 444 (7th Cir. 1990).
The D.C. Circuit has outright recognized the “right of a federal job applicant to seek injunctive relief from an agency’s violation of his constitutional rights in general.” See Hubbard v. U.S. E.P.A. Admin., 809 F.2d 1, 11 (D.C.Cir. 1986). See O’Donnell v. Barry, 148 F.3d 1126, 1143-44 (D.C. Cir. 1998), citing Kartseva v. Department of State, 37 F.3d 1524, 1527-29 (D.C.Cir.1994).
FDIC reported officials remain untarnished by their admitted actions of wiretap vioaltions and the approval of an unlicensed security guard to intercept Ms. Gibson-Michaels oral communications without a Court Order because she [quoted a Bible verse inside a closed door office during a conversation at the request of two former employees involved in a Federal theft whom willfully sought Gibson-Michaels for advice as confirmed by U.S. District Court Order dated May 3, 2007.]
Honorable Judge Ricardo Urbina, U.S. District Judge reversed and upheld Free Exercise of Religious Speech on behalf of Gutantanamo Detainees (Non-American Citizens) on February 6, 2006. See Shafiq Rasul v. Donald Rumsfeld, case no. 04-cv-01864. However, the same Judge denied Gibson-Michaels her rights as a United States American Citizen to seek restitution against unlicensed contract Security Guard Defendants. See U.S. District Court of Appeals no. 07-7118 and 06-cv-1938 Washington, D.C., 'FREEDOM FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME'

S.522 - Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Act
- adelie : With the MPAA showing record profits for 2007, I think this is further proof that the government and people have been tricked into associating ~$10,000,000,000 profit with "starving artists". What a committee should really be looking into is the value and impact of work that has been effectively stolen from the public domain, and compare big media's gain to the loss by the American public. The only purpose for such a committee, let alone a not to 'limited period of time' copyright term is to control the ability for people to create and compete for a part of that ten billion dollars. How about a 'Public Domain Enforcement Act' that punishes people for destroying (intentionally or otherwise) works that have ever been of any kind of value, keeping them from ever falling into the public domain. Or further, mandate that copyrighted works be made EASILY available for purposes of fair use and make it a right rather than an 'affirmative defense'. Legislation like that would tell me that the government is looking out for the best interests of artists and people, and not just the guys that can steal more than anyone else such as Warner, Fox, and Disney.

S.2488 - OPEN Government Act of 2007
- ygmichaels : INVESTIGATE FDIC REPORTED WACKENHUT, WACHOVIA, WELLS FARGO FRAUD.
Former FDIC Employee Blows Whistle On FDIC Chairman Donald E. Powell
Temple Hills, MD (BlackNews.com) - FDIC Whistleblower Yolanda Gibson-Michaels says the FDIC Chairman Donald E. Powell should not be in charge of lucrative contracts or oversee Katrina rebuilding for the Gulf region or any other region in the United States. She says since his indoctrination August, 2001, the FDIC Chairman has tarnished the reputation at FDIC. She's requested an immediate non-partisan independent audit and investigation.
Gibson-Michaels say the appointment of FDIC Chairman to "Safeguard against improprieties in awarding lucrative government contracts..." is ludicrous! She says the Chairman's safeguard is like unto to a Wolf watching over Sheep! She reported FDIC's receivership fraud, bank fraud, inside trading, and money laundering impropriety.
She says FDIC Chairman signed as signatory 2002 on the merger of Wells Fargo investments under the guise of a non-compete agreement. Wells Fargo, Wachovia, Northwest formerly Norwest was approved by FDIC Chairman Donald Powell. His title is used interchangeably as the Board of Director, Chairman of the Board, the Company and the Bank. She reports that the "the Company" is a non-existent shell company. She quotes the Chairman statement in the 2002 board meeting, which reads, in part, that:
"2002 and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. TheBoard of Directors has nominated William H. Attebury, Danny H. Conklin, Wales H. Madden, Jr., Jay O'Brien, and Donald E. Powell, who are presently the directors of the Company, for election as directors."
She reports that the FDIC Chairman acknowledged his history of contract impropriety within a February 5, 2005, edition of the Arkansas Traveler.
"Powell said he had tried to find ways out of contracts, tried only to remain true to the letter of the law and given money to political candidates who supported his industry but whom he would not personally vote for..."
Gibson-Michaels say the industry the Chairman refers to is his Nubank Investment Center located at www.NUBANK.com. The FDIC Chairman is the Director of Nubank, insured by FDIC; and the Chairman of FDIC. She reports that her disclosures are substantiated within an inclusive, detailed oriented 539 page disclosure report available to the general public at the U.S. Library of Congress.
Gibson-Michaels have asserted her rights under the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) bounty program. She will donate a percentage of proceeds collected against FDIC's Chairman's Wells Fargo, Tejas, Northwest, Enron, Halliburton, Acordia, California Bank and other ill-gotten investments.
She reported FDIC's Division of Finance Director (DOF) as the signatory to former Enron's corrupt official Kenneth Lay. A copy of protected disclosures were provided to Henry Waxman, John Kerry, Senator Edward Kennedy, Congressman Albert Wynn, Nancy Pelosi, Senator John Ensign, Barbara Boxer, Senator Sarbanes, Barbara Mikulski, U.S. Attorneys, and Law enforcement agencies.
FDIC's 3-trillion dollar budget, will benefit poor, sick, elderly, homeless, Autistic children (as her youngest son is severely autistic with a seizure disorder), Hurricane Katrina victims, victims of Wells Fargo Predatory lending, and social programs.
Gibson-Michaels vows to fight against money and greed which supercedes human compassion, morals, values, and ethics. She's requesting donations for law suit funding in her fight against FRAUD, DECEPTION, IMPROPRIETY, AND CORRUPTION.
Gibson-Michaels says she will also hold FDIC Chairman and other corrupt officials accountable for any and all threats, assaults, physical, verbal or harm to her family or personal affects; to and including pets and goldfish.
She says she will never commit suicide or attempt suicide. She will hold FDIC accountable for train, automobile and so-called plane crashes.
She concluded that her 539 page disclosure report mirrors author John Perkins true ordeal (book) entitled, Confessions of an Economic Hitt Man. She reports that she and other whistleblowers are Caught in a Web of Bureaucracy created by Economic Hitt Men.

S.1957 - Design Piracy Prohibition Act
- designerella : Adelie, your 2nd comments refer to protections in place by and for huge companies only, or mostly only. Large brands knock off independent designers and get away with it (I'm not saying Prada does, but I just read DVF did)! Also, most small companies, especially start-ups, cannot afford to brand our items with logos as much as the well-funded big boys. Why is this so necessary anyway, from a style perspective, when many women do not want to be advertisers for a brand? Yes, stamped hardware is usually subtle, but your argument implies we indies need to do it too or else we deserve to be copied, as I read it.
- designerella : I am highly for the protection but against this particular bill. There is no stipulation that the fee for a fashion copyright can't be exorbitant. Big companies copy the little people and they could get OUR copyrights first if it's say the most expensive form. I'm also curious about a bulk filing discount, as I heard it's done in music. Send in 30 tapes for $30 - one fee. Something like that can be affordable, especially since we can only pick select designs that fall under being sooo unique. I think this would protect indie designers if done right. It would mean that no one can carry around a Birkin inspired bag though, so consumers could be against it.

H.R.2060 - Internet Radio Equality Act
- Anonymous : Considering the crap the labels and "new" artists are offering, boredom and lack of talent ought to be reason enough to make sure this legislation passes. Until the RIAA realizes that internet radio listeners are looking for music that either is never played or the past "oldies" that had not only talent writing and performing, but also the demand that is there to re-release these albums on to CD's for the public to buy outright. Start to offer what the public wants then maybe the'll see their profits rise a bit. Then again, they also need to quit screwing artists out their fair share of the royalties and lying about their decreasing bottom line. RIAA tactics of late against those who were trading songs has recently come under fire by the courts since they are acting like militia's without any legal documents to allow them to just walk in and bust someone and their equipment. Boycotting the labels ought to be threatened. I think we can live with out Britney and the rest of the "Paris Hilton" drug and lesbian experimentation cartel.
