Preparing words for first RICO Civil suit.
A few things about RICO Racketeering law in Oregon.

Anyone “injured” by a racketeering enterprise can file suit in any Oregon district court, I do not have to file in Lane COUNTY.
A CRIMINAL CONVICTION IS NOT A PREREQUISITE TO FILE.
You can file with a minimum of two related Racketeering activities.
You can file multiple times for additional Racketeering activities.
Once RICO has been established you can file on other members of the Racketeering enterprise even though they were not part of the original case.
You can prosecute in both State and Federal Courts for the same offence.
RICO is liberally interpreted.  
All Federal RICO case law can be used in Oregon RICO cases.
RICO carries triple damages that the jury does not get to take into account when they decide on damages.
RICO CAN HAVE PUNITIVE DAMAGE AWARDS.
Awards are additionally tripled because of abuse of a disabled person.
Any property, money, bank account or thing of value used in connection with RICO violations can be seized and sold immediately after an award, in some instances before.
Corporations can be disbanded, investments seized and further involvement in similar businesses banned for life.
The statute of limitations runs for 7 years after cessation of an official investigation by an entity such as the Lane County DA’s office.
When landlord was cited with reckless endangerment with a firearm and the case was sent to the Lane County DA’s Office this became a crime punishable under Oregon State and Federal RICO Law.
The statute of limitations will run out in January of 2016.
Mail/wire fraud has a fine of $250,000.00 associated with it.
Each month a check was sent to the landlord and he was in violation of the lease constitutes a separate mail/wire fraud act.
A person filing a Civil RICO case has a superior claim on assets over State and Federal entities.
State and local government agencies or boards can be held liable for RICO violations.
RICO tainted money taints all the other funds when it passes through accounts. When you “launder” funds all it touches becomes fair game to seizure.
Participation in RICO activities is broadly interpreted.
 
Conclusion, I can “practice” prosecuting a RICO case against the landlord about 30 times before I get to Faye Stewart and his cohorts, which they have conveniently indisputably characterized their group as being under the definition of an “enterprise” as defined by the U. S. Supreme Court.  

Return shot across the bow

YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR ATTORNEY IMMEDIATELY.


July 8, 2009

Alvin Johnson, Winky, and their Attorney:

YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR ATTORNEY IMMEDIATELY.
This is notice that you will be sued in Oregon District Court for RICO violations relating to your involvement as landlord to K and his wife, S. We will be seeking in excess of TEN MILLION DOLLARS in damages.

The Lane County Sheriff’s report states that Alvin Johnson was cited for a RICO covered crime.
The statute of limitations runs for (5 + 2) 7 years from the time the Lane County DA’s office ceased their investigation of that matter on or near Jan.20, 2009.

Alvin Johnson and Francis Johnson entered into a one-year lease (see HOME TBA Lease) with K & S, and Lane County. This lease clearly states that the Johnson’s are fully aware that they have to abide by State of Oregon and Federal regulations regarding Landlord/tenant Laws. It further states that each month by accepting the rent due that they certify that they acknowledge their compliance. Acceptance of rent due while in non-compliance in a RICO situation is a separate case of mail/wire/bank fraud and carries a penalty UPTO $250,000.00 each. RICO statutes triple this penalty and because a disabled person was abused it is tripled again. Each instance of shooting at us or using a firearm to intimidate is a separate charge. With the admissions made to the federal HUD investigator and taped conversations by MS. Johnson, these two types of charges carry a penalty of over 10 MILLION DOLLARS, and many years in FEDERAL PRISON. Using a known bogus “month to month rental agreement” to attempt an illegal eviction in July of 2006 carries a penalty of 9 times $25,000 and a year in prison (see Federal warning last page of HOME TBA lease below the Johnson’s signatures in Lease).

Alvin Johnson and Francis Johnson along with their cohorts engaged in a “racketeering enterprise” as defined by US Supreme Court.

 Alvin Johnson and Francis Johnson engaged in more than two instances of racketeering related acts in the time frame required by Oregon RICO Laws.

The case will be filed within time limits proscribed by Oregon RICO Laws.

The case can be filed by “anyone” who suffered damages by unlawful racketeering acts, as per Oregon RICO Laws.

The case can be filed in “any district court” as per Oregon RICO Laws.

Multiple cases can be filed against both Alvin and Francis separately, in this situation over 40 cases can be filed in Oregon District Court and then another 40 cases in FEDERAL court

Have your attorney contact us by email immediately

Evidence that will be used against you:
Video tape of Alvin Shooting at our home with the sound of pellets hitting house, no sound or sight of turkeys can be heard. In evidence with Lane County Sheriffs Dept. (See Lane County Sheriff’s report). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQQ4ystsAWo

Video tape of Alvin Johnson stumbling drunk at 10:00 am with people cutting tree in our front yard.

Video tape of Alvin Johnson spraying unknown poison upwind and in an unsafe manner close to our front porch for over 15 minutes: no written 24-hour notice given, no information given to us about what type of poison used.

Complete absence of any letters giving 24-hour notice to come to property to spray poison over 12 times, dumping of arsenic impregnated wood (that was characterized by the Johnson’s as “free firewood”), set wood piles on fire twice, let hunters hunt across our front yard, let a juvenile delinquent loose on our property with a weapon to “cut thistles” and told him we “were out of town” 2 times, came to our home when we were away to bring unsolicited “gifts” of food sprayed with unknown poison, no notice of sending men to remove tree from front yard, no notice of dumping concrete debris, Alvin Johnson walking into our home without knocking.

 Video tape of Alvin Johnson coming to our property when we were at the doctor’s office.

Video tape of Alvin Johnson stopping multiple times at our driveway in the early morning dark and fog in a “stalking” manner. No valid reason for him to be there.

Video tape of “friends of the Johnson’s” shouting racial slurs and curses at our house as they drove from the Johnson’s home in the dark.

Transcript of Francis Johnson to Federal HUD investigator that they had “no problems with us” up to July 2006.

Sheriff’s report showing Alvin Johnson lying to a Deputy Sheriff about which direction and why he had discharged a firearm. Video tape has sound of pellets hitting home, no turkeys and Alvin had no valid turkey license.

911 tape with Alvin Johnson and his “real estate” friend assaulting us and attempting to force their way into our home.

Acknowledgment of denial of “accommodation” with delivery of known bogus eviction notice. Direct evidence of why the eviction was tried.

Each email that passed from Dean Kaufman to us trying to force us to leave based on a known bogus eviction notice is a separate wire/mail fraud count. Over 25 emails.

Audio tape of Francis Johnson calling us “insane” and trash.

Because Alvin Johnson blocked our exit while moving, threatened to kill us, followed us five miles south, pulled to grassy side of road and made obscene finger gesture, came into salvage office, refused to leave when asked by owner, made threatening remarks in front of witnesses, we felt unsafe to return for the bulk of our possessions at the former residence. The Johnson’s did not comply with Oregon Landlord/tenant Law by having a “Sheriff’s Auction” instead he invited his cohorts, (co-conspirators in a racketeering act) to STEAL AND/OR DESTROY the remainder of our property. The Johnson’s politely provided us with a list of their names so that we could include them in this case.

When this eventually ends up in Oregon District Court over the next six years we intend to recover in excess of TEN MILLION DOLLARS, and pursue the application of the maximum prison time allowed. If after selling all property of the Johnson’s that was used in the violations, their home, all vehicles and heavy equipment and land, or had any connection with the bank account that they used for the wire/bank fraud scheme, we will go down the line and bankrupt each of the “friends” they enlisted to ransack our property that we were forced to leave behind. They will be left with the clothes on their back and a monthly Social Security check, nothing else. Property put into “trusts” will also be seized.

RICO Laws were crafted to be able to recover property and assets that were hidden by organized crime families, I doubt that the Johnson’s have hidden their assets better then those groups have used.

All of our evidence consists of statements made by the Johnson’s to law enforcement, Federal investigators, emails from their attorney, video tape, audio tape, photos, 911 tapes and 2 eyewitnesses. The jury will not be advised of the tripling of damages because of RICO Law, nor will they know that because this was perpetrated against a disabled person the damages triple again, therefore their inevitable award for damages will easily wipeout the family estates of the Johnson’s and their friends.

We will entertain a settlement offer until July 24, 2009. All correspondences to be by the attorney of the Johnson’s through email:  

Thank you and Good day
K

Failure to respond to this demand letter carries legal consequences. You are advised to contact your attorney immediately. Dean Kaufman will also be named as a defendant in these cases, so it would be advisable to use someone else.

Every court that has considered the issue has held that each defendant convicted on a RICO charge is jointly and severally liable for the entire amount of forfeiture that was reasonably foreseeable to the defendant. As the Eighth Circuit recently held in United States v. Simmons, 154 F.3d 765, 769-70 (8th Cir. 1998):
Codefendants are properly held jointly and severally liable for the proceeds of a RICOenterprise . . . . The government is not required to prove the specific portion of proceeds for which each defendant is responsible. Such a requirement would allow
defendants “to mask the allocation of the proceeds to avoid forfeiting them altogether.”

Accord United States v. Infelise, 159 F.3d 300, 301 (7th Cir.
1998); United States v. Hurley, 63 F.3d 1, 22 (1st Cir. 1998);
United States v. Saccoccia, 58 F.3d 754, 785 (1st Cir. 1995); United
States v. Masters, 924 F.2d 1362, 1367-70 (7th Cir.), cert. denied,

1478 (3d Cir.), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 1016 (1990).

the Fourth Circuit held that the government could recover property traceable to the forfeited property but transferred to a third party and that the government could conduct discovery to locate the traceable property.

Shaping up of Oregon District Court complaint.
The underlying law states that:
  “(6) An allegation of a pattern of racketeering activity is sufficient if it contains substantially the following:
(a) A statement of the acts constituting each incident of racketeering activity in ordinary and
concise language, and in a manner that enables a person of common understanding to know what is
intended;
(b) A statement of the relation to each incident of racketeering activity that the conduct was
committed on or about a designated date, or during a designated period of time;
(c) A statement, in the language of ORS 166.715 (Definitions for ORS 166.715 to 166.735) (4) or
other ordinary and concise language, designating which distinguishing characteristic or characteristics interrelate the incidents of racketeering activity; and (d) A statement that the incidents alleged were not isolated. [1981 c.769 §§3,4; 1997 c.789 §2]”


Alvin Johnson was cited for a RICO covered crime.
Alvin Johnson and Francis Johnson entered into a one-year lease for the property located at , Creswell, Oregon 97426 (see HOME TBA Lease) with us, and Lane County. The lease was in
conjunction with a HOME TBA rent subsidy funded with Federal money passed to the State of Oregon, passed to Lane County Oregon, with Community Sharing Program of Cottage Grove, Oregon providing case management. This lease clearly states that the Johnson’s are fully aware that they have to abide by State of Oregon and Federal regulations regarding Landlord/tenant Laws and Federal Civil Rights Laws.
 The Lease has a warning against using fraudulent writings. It further states that each month by accepting the rent due that they certify that they acknowledge their compliance with all provisions of the lease.
A case can be filed by “anyone” who suffered damages by unlawful racketeering acts, as per Oregon
RICO Laws.The case can be filed in “any district court” as per Oregon RICO Laws.

The Lane County Sheriff’s report states that Alvin Johnson was cited for a RICO covered crime.
The statute of limitations runs for (5 + 2) 7 years from the time the Lane County DA’s office
ceased their investigation of that matter on or near Jan.20, 2009.

Alvin Johnson and Francis Johnson engaged in more than two instances of racketeering related acts
in the time frame required by Oregon RICO Laws.

In June of 2006 after many occasions of Alvin Johnson coming to our leased property without
giving the required 24-hour notice Susan Smith informed Alvin Johnson that she would sue if he
did not abide by the law regarding 24-hour notice.

Later Alvin Johnson Called to schedule an inspection “with his real estate agent”. We agreed.
Alvin Johnson arrived in one vehicle and an unidentified man in another vehicle. I exited our
fenced yard and approached the unidentified man, asked if he was an agent for Alvin Johnson. He
said, “Yes.” I handed him a U. S. Postal Money Order for our rent payment. He accepted it. I
asked to see his real estate credentials. He said he was not really a real estate agent. Because
Alvin Johnson had lied about who he was bringing into our home I requested that they leave. That
request is a proper request under Oregon Landlord\Tenant Laws. They did not comply and forced
their way into our fenced yard, threatened me and injured my wife’s ankle. Most of the verbal
exchange is captured on a 911 call we placed at the time. Alvin Johnson appeared to have been
drinking alcohol prior to coming to our property. Eventually they left before the Lane County
Sheriff’s Department sent a Deputy. When the Deputy arrived he took our statement, Alvin
Johnson’s Statement and a statement from the unidentified man.

That night we visited the website of the Americans with Disabilities Act, using an example letter
from their site we crafted an accommodation letter requesting that Alvin Johnson no longer come
to our leased property drunk but rather all further contact be conducted by Francis Johnson,
co-signer of the HOME TBA Lease.
We delivered this request to their mailbox Saturday. Monday, two days later, Alvin Johnson and an
unidentified man posted a refusal to the requested accommodation and a notice to evict.

I began an email exchange with Dean Kaufman, attorney for the Alvin and Francis Johnson.
After the exchange of numerous emails, it became evident that the notice of eviction was based on
a bogus “Month to Month rental agreement”. Alvin and Francis Johnson had signed the HOME TBA
One-Year Lease a few months previously and knew that the “Month to Month rental agreement” was
not the proper document to use. Dean Kaufman, being a former judge and attorney should have known that also.

Alvin and Francis Johnson had notified HOME TBA that they were evicting us. This was used in
part, to remove us from the HOME TBA subsidy. The Subsidy paid for rent and utilities.
Eventually Dean Kaufman conceded that he had been using the wrong document to base the eviction
and did not file it with any court. At their own suggestion, they said they would require no
further payment of rent for the duration of the One-Year Lease. All provisions of the Lease were
still in effect except for the HOME TBA payments and any payments by us. We were losing any
utility payments from HOME TBA.

Alvin Johnson continued coming to our leased property and eventually shot at us 14 times over a
two week period with a shotgun. 911 was called twice, the Lane County Sheriff’s Department sent Deputies Twice. Alvin and Francis Johnson contended both times that Alvin Johnson was shooting at turkey. Alvin Johnson did not have a turkey hunting or turkey hazing permit, and no evidence of turkey is seen or heard on the video tape taken into evidence by the Lane County Sheriff’s Deputy.

At the end of our lease we went to eviction court to make sure our rights as tenants would be protected. Immediately after that court appearance we rented a U-Haul truck, packed part of our
belongings into it and prepared to move the first load of many planned loads. Alvin Johnson
blocked our egress by stopping his truck blocking our driveway. He pointed his hand/finger like a
gun and said, “I going to kill you.” He eventually moved his truck when he saw that I might be
calling the Sheriff. Alvin Johnson followed us south on HWY 99 for over five miles. We pulled into an auto salvage yard. Alvin Johnson pulled to the grassy side of the highway and made obscene hand gestures. We went into the auto salvage office and called 911. Alvin Johnson drove West on the county road beside the auto salvage yard. He returned a while later, entered the auto salvage office, He was asked to leave by the auto salvage owner. Alvin Johnson refused, the owner called 911.
Alvin Johnson acted like he might have a gun in his pocket. I picked up a nearby SCA sword to
protect my wife and me. Eventually Alvin Johnson left. I asked if the auto salvage owner wanted
to buy a van we owned and that was still at the leased location. He said no, I’m afraid Alvin
might try and shoot me. Fearing for our safety, we did not return to the leased location to move the rest of our belongings. We knew that Oregon Landlord/Tenant Law requires a landlord to have an auction of   unmoved belongings if they have a value of over $500.00 (five hundred dollars). Alvin and Francis
Johnson did not comply with this law and instead sent us a bill for “removing” our remaining possessions.Alvin and Francis Johnson. was in violation of the terms of the HOME TBA Contract which exposed them to legal actions, they along with others concocted a scheme to scare us off the property with a bogus eviction. That was part of the reason given for removing us from the HOME TBA program. It caused us to not receive the HOME TBA rent and utility subsidy. When this did not
make us move Alvin continued harassment and eventually resorted to using a firearm. The Lane County Sheriff’s report lists it as a violation covered by Oregon RICO Statutes. Alvin and Francis Johnson and cohorts committed more than two RICO acts in a pattern of racketeering as part of a racketeering enterprise.

We seek justice in the form of monetary damages and punitive damages
 in excess of TEN MILLION DOLLARS.

Any suggestions as to form or content?

Like a fish needs a bicycle
Copy of email to the lawyer involved
142 West Eighth, Eugene, OR 97401


After reviewing the relevant State of Oregon RICO Statutes, it is apparent that the actions you took in the matter of xxxxx  and the attempted eviction in July 2006 fall under those State of Oregon RICO Statutes.

According to Oregon RICO the time limits are started when the Lane County DA’s office concluded their involvement with the shooting incidents of fall of 2006. Their involvement ended in Jan. 2009. The Oregon RICO Statutes provide for a time limit of 2 years plus 5 years from that date, or Jan. 2016.

Oregon RICO provides for;
Filing in any Oregon District Court, bifurcating of parties involved in the “enterprise”, filing of multiple cases concerning the incidents in groups of 2 incidents, filing in both state and federal court, treble damages (in addition to the doubling of damages because of the abuse to a disabled person, and waiving of lawyer/client privilege) and jury trials.

 From your bio, it states that you were a judge and a real estate/landlord/tenant lawyer. That being the case, you would be held to a very high standard of conduct as to how you conducted your “paperwork” in this matter. In your emails, each of which is considered a separate count of wire fraud, you relate how the bogus eviction process of July 2006 was based on a “month to Month rental agreement” that any first year law student would have known to be the incorrect document for a federally funded rental lease agreement. That “Month to Month rental agreement” is what would be described as a “fraudulent writing” on the last signature page of the actual one-year lease that we were under.

Oregon RICO is established by the Lane County Deputy Sheriff’s report of the shooting incident of fall of 2006. In that report the deputy states that he watched the video and heard the shot and then the pellets hitting the house. The video is in evidence with the Lane County Sheriffs department and online at Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQQ4ystsAWo . Once RICO is invoked, all related actions come into play. You will be brought before a jury by yourself in trials separate from the other defendants. A reasonable estimate of the number of times we can put you in the dock is about 40. That would include each of us bringing cases in both state and federal court for each two times your hand touched this matter. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for providing us with unredacted  copies of the Johnson’s checking account and the detailed listing of the names of who he used to steal and destroy our personal property that we were forced to leave at the former residence. Since you and the Johnsons did not have the State of Oregon required Sheriff’s auction, the deposition of our remaining property becomes classified as theft/destruction.
If we go to court with you we will seek seizure of all assets you used in connection with this incident including but not limited to; all office equipment, computers, vehicles, bank accounts and investments. According to federal RICO all accounts touched by tainted funds become tainted and subject to seizure. Any attempt to “hide” assets just brings others into jeopardy of becoming participants of the “enterprise”. Of course; you would be disbarred and be permanently barred from any real estate careers. According to RICO, asset seizure and freezing of assets can happen before, during and after the cases begin. Reminds me of a lawyer I knew that one day he was driving to federal court in a BMW, after court he was riding his bike to apply for a job at McDonalds.

This email is “just a professional courtesy” to offer you a 15 day window to settle you part. Reply before August 12 or sometime in the next 6 years you will be taken to court 40 times. Each time we will get more information on your legal defenses and motions. Like John Gotti, given enough times through court, the attacking side learns all the strategies of the defense and eventually wins. Also, well I’ll save that for later.

Until August 12, I remain your loyal opposition.

   

A few comments on Obama’s health care nebulous “plan”:

     Taking the clunker for cash response, imagine how the medical situation will react when over 40 million people become eligible to get an appointment after being off the doctors rolls. It is sometimes weeks before you can get an appointment today, will your appointment time now be in the years in the future? Looking at another federally run health care system, the Indian health system, it is common to have “registration for appointments” once a year for an appointment three years in the future. Realistically, how will the appointment volume, paperwork, file handling for 40 million new clients be handled?

     How will each health care access point handle common supply re-stocking? This would be on the scale of supplying the US Army in WWII dispersed over small clinics all over the US. Which companies get the concession for supplying the 2 cent aspirin, to be sold at $3, and billed at $4? Like the companies that get lucrative government supply contracts these favored few will be unregulated and unknown to the general public. Do you trust the medicines they will supply, just look at the recent news reports about vaccines that you were told were ineffective because they were stored improperly but they were  “harmless”, just go get another one. Do you really trust that the whole health care industry will be stocked with quality supplies when they “expect” 10% fraud? If china routinely sends contaminated foods, remember the pet food problem, because we “expect” a percentage of bogus, contaminated, bulked up by adding toxic filler food, what do you think they will put into the massive stocking of the clinics. Bad meds could be scattered evenly to each area, as long as it falls below the “expected” fraud rate it won’t even be reported. If it doesn’t kill you your clinic will just prescribe something else. Buyers beware, but when the buyer is a “chosen concession holder” their motive is maximizing their profit not ensuring you get quality health products at the best price. As a test to see how people will scrutinize this process take this as an example, Car dealers are at the bottom of the list of “trusted professions”. In the last 3 weeks we have dispensed 1billion dollars to car dealerships based on their word that the cars they took in as trade-ins met the program criteria, were destroyed afterwards(try checking on that) and that they charged a fair price to begin with. Seriously, if you believe that set-up then believing that the health care system will be stocked with quality supplies to handle an influx of over 40 million new clients I’ll schedule you for an appointment for your yearly health check-up for June 10, 2015 between 10:15 and 10 seconds after 10:15.

More on health care

My wife is on OHP plus with dental coverage. What that actually means is that if you need dental services you get to go stand in line for a possible 7:30 slot. Dental emergency, stand in line for a possible 7:30 slot. On paper it shows as full dental, in real life it is stand in line for a possible 7:30 slot. As an added point, being “native American” she is covered by Indian Health service, that old “as long as the rivers flow and the wind blows” treaty thing. Well on paper it reads full dental, but in practice it is stand in line for a possible 7:30 slot. I know there will be a few folks reading this that will think, “@##! Indians think they should get everything free”. The point is you will be in the same situation in less than a year: over booked appointments, stand in line for a possible 7:30 slot, short office visits, group office visits, cattle call vaccinations, “our policy is” explanations, “that’s not above the treatment line at this time”.

Received my “email from Obama” today, basically they’re asking for their “loyal” subjects to pack the town meetings and show a “grassroots support” for the health care scam. Funny thing is that it did not mention anything thing about what they are in support of, just

 

“This is the moment our movement was built for.

For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.

Home is where we're strongest. We didn't win last year's election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you're willing to step up once again, that's exactly where we're going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves.

There are those who profit from the status quo, or see this debate as a political game, and they will stop at nothing to block reform. They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. So we've got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.

In politics, there's a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it'll be easy. Well, let's be honest here: Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way.

But every day we don't act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.

So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don't know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what's easy, and doing what's right.

This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?

Please commit now to taking at least one action in your community this month to build support for health insurance reform”

Dental emergency, stand in line for a possible 7:30 slot. On paper it shows as full dental, in real life it is stand in line for a possible 7:30 slot. As an added point, being “native American” she is covered by Indian Health service, that old “as long as the rivers flow and the wind blows” treaty thing. Well on paper it reads full dental, but in practice it is stand in line for a possible 7:30 slot. I know there will be a few folks reading this that will think, “@##! Indians think they should get everything free”. The point is you will be in the same situation in less than a year: over booked appointments, stand in line for a possible 7:30 slot, short office visits, group office visits, cattle call vaccinations, “our policy is” explanations, “that’s not above the treatment line at this time”.
Received my “email from Obama” today, basically they’re asking for their “loyal” subjects to pack the town meetings and show a “grassroots support” for the health care scam. Funny thing is that it did not mention anything thing about what they are in support of, just

“This is the moment our movement was built for.

For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.

Home is where we're strongest. We didn't win last year's election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you're willing to step up once again, that's exactly where we're going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves.

There are those who profit from the status quo, or see this debate as a political game, and they will stop at nothing to block reform. They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. So we've got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.
In politics, there's a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it'll be easy. Well, let's be honest here: Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way.

But every day we don't act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.

So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don't know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what's easy, and doing what's right.

This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?

Please commit now to taking at least one action in your community this month to build support for health insurance reform”

Doing my part to spread Obama’s message.

I just had a conversation with one of the nations leading civil rights lawyers. He confirmed my basic premises that: the statute of limitations has not run out because of the Lane County Sheriff’s citation for an Oregon RICO covered offense, that the nature of the offense is on going by way of video tape, audio tape and written documents, that the offense was committed by an enterprise composed of more than 2 people. My next step is to nail down the venue; that is, where to hold the jury trial.

“`(1) IN GENERAL- The Secretary shall enter into agreements with qualified entities to develop quality measures for the delivery of health care services in the United States.

`(d) Qualified Entities- Before entering into agreements with a qualified entity, the Secretary shall ensure that the entity is a public, nonprofit or academic institution with technical expertise in the area of health quality measurement”

Is this another example of Obama slipping in funding for the “nonprofit” groups by re-labeling them  “SEC. 1445. CONSENSUS-BASED ENTITY FUNDING.”

Carbon credits, Consider the lilies of the fields, how they grow, they toil not neither do they spin

Obama is getting ready to push his “carbon credit” system to stop global warming. Here is how it will work: each type of industrial process will be said to have a specific amount of yearly carbon effect. Like 5,000 pounds for an electric car. If you are assessed for over 5,000 pounds for creating a hummer, you owe a fine. To get out of paying the fine you can “lease” carbon credits from a broker. A 50 acre stand of trees will have a “yearly carbon credit” number, say 1,000 pounds per year.  The minimum acreage will be set high enough so that most individuals will not be included. So how can the rank and file citizen get involved, simply by “donating” your “carbon credit” to a recognized “not for profit” who then “pools” their credits with a broker, who securitizes and leases the “yearly carbon credit” to polluting businesses. That way your trees will help support polluting the air, while letting you feel good about saving the Earth from global warming. So be ahead of the curve and “donate” your “carbon credits” to me and I will keep them from being abused by corporate polluters in the future.    

Concession Stand
Heard Geraldine Ferraro on Fox News this morning; basically she said, some unnamed group is “putting up” all those people against Obama’s health take over. When asked who it was, she waffled. She couldn’t name who it was. Her assertion that the “shouting angry protesters” were plants could just as equally be plants by the Democrats. Sort of like the Gov had in the radical groups in the 60’s and 70’s. I still think that the roll that Obama’s pet “not for profits” should be brought forward. Take for instance the “death panels” that they are now taking out because it got found out about, I can see them “funding” hundreds of quickly put together “grassroots” “not for profits” to handle the local needs for “end of life” counseling. Do we really need another over paid “community not for profit” having run-a-thons to raise awareness about having them control how we get health care when we get old. All it would take is a “policy” of a 3 member team assessing that you are “no longer able to make your own health decisions” and they would appoint themselves as YOUR SPOKESPERSON on when you will stop receiving health care.

Next subject, everyone knows that emergency room visits costs way too much, $5 Band-Aids and $10,000 for a sprained ankle. Part of the reason is that for all those folks that can’t pay the “not for profit” hospital “passes the cost” to everyone else and their insurance company. Think about that for a bit, a citizen or illegal that isn’t going to pay gets their bill over-inflated then this bogus cost is billed to the gov or insurance. Now we are to believe that by insuring everyone the prices will go down. So where is the hospital going to make up that lost revenue. They will be losing the walk-ins because they will be able to go to a national health care clinic. It is a giant cash cow that won’t be putting money every month into the hospital. Do you think that all the highly paid doctors and surgeons are going to take a big pay cut?  So at the time when Obama is putting massive amounts of new clients into the system the hospitals will be getting a major cut in monthly money. Now think of the privileged salesman that had the concession to sell the $5 Band-Aids. Who gets the concession to sell to the new masses of health care clients? That’s going to be the new growth industry, selling basic first-aid supplies to all the new clinics staffed by low paid health care practitioners. In Oregon it’s like the “teacher assistants” that get 2 years training and then teach your children. Works great for Oregon’s education system, doesn’t it? What experience does Obama have concerning hospitals? Well while Obama was being groomed in the political foundation/not for profit system Obama mama was working for a hospital foundation. The ACORN didn’t fall far from the tree. You’d think they would have used Hillary’s input, but instead they have sent her on a world wide vacation. Wake up and smell the coffee, it’s what you’ll be getting for medicine in the near future.     
In the short term the funds will come by re-directing stimulus funds, they wrote into that bill that “unspent” funds can be re-allocated to any other stimulus project. So if less that 10% has been spent so far it makes a very large slush fund to play with.    

Sunday on ABC News Kent Conrad (d) finance comm.  proposed
Non Profit Public Health Co-operatives.
The Government would give money to get started, membership in co-ops would be voluntary.  The co-ops would use buying power to negotiate for cheaper medical coverage. Sounds like what I said earlier.  

Below is an email I received from  "Organizing for America".

It shows that the "Dems" are doing exactly what they accused the real grassroots citizens of doing, staging a bogus group of "concerned citizens" to flood the congressional mail to create the illusion of popular support. When you read the email below you will note that it has no real details of what the reform is or how it will be paid for or who specifically will be covered or any of the answers to the questions that were raised by people in every town meeting. It instead tells the Obama horde to sway other people "because they trust you". That is a basic tactic of the foundations, getting people to do things because they trust the assumed source of information. As mentioned in previous emails from the Obama Horde THIS IS WHY THEY ORGANIZED THIS GROUP.
They are also using the age old tactic of giving away our tax dollars in the form of funding pet projects for congressmen's home districts to assure their votes. I think that healthcare reform is needed and should be clearly stated and VOTED ON BY THE AMERICAN CITIZENS.     



"Organizing for America
Kyle --

On Thursday, an astounding 280,000 Organizing for America supporters gathered online to huddle with the President at our National Health Care Forum. With Congress about to return to Washington to make historic decisions on health insurance reform, the President chose this critical moment to speak directly to the OFA community. He reminded us of how far we've come and what we can accomplish together:

    Remember one thing: Nothing is more powerful than millions of voices calling for change. That's how we won this election. You know this, and that's why since OFA launched its health reform campaign in June you've hosted 11,000 events in more than 2,500 towns in every single state and every single congressional district...I am absolutely confident that we can get this done, but I want everybody to remember, this has never been easy....We are not going to give up now. We are going to get this done.

Now it's up to us to take the next step. This week, we need to make sure every member of Congress heads back to Washington hearing overwhelming support for change. Lies and fear must not have the last word about the health reform America so desperately needs. So here's what you can do: Host or attend a "Let's Get It Done: Health Insurance Reform Now" event near you.

There are many different kinds of events, from forums to rallies to "Health Care Phone Booths," where local folks can get the facts and call Congress. And if there isn't yet one near you, you can easily host your own. Wherever you live, you can help show Congress, the media, and your neighbors that the American people have one clear message about health reform: Let's get it done.

Host or attend an event
Thursday, the President made the stakes of reform crystal clear. He talked about how, with health care costs rising three times faster than wages, the cost of inaction is simply too high.

He explained how reform will guarantee competition and choice. He described the Insurance Guarantees that will protect every American from discrimination against pre-existing conditions, exorbitant charges, and arbitrary denials or reductions in coverage just when we need it most.

And he made plain his stance on the public option: "So let me just be clear: I continue to support a public option, I think it is important, and I think it will help drive down costs and give consumers choices."

But even the best plan only matters if it passes, and that's where we all have a critical role to play. As the President said:

    And that's why what all of you do is so important, because people trust you -- your neighbors, your friends, fellow community members -- they trust you. They know you. And if you are presenting the facts clearly and fairly, I'm absolutely confident that we're going to win this debate. But we're going to have a lot of work to do and I'm grateful that you're willing to do it. Let's go get 'em.

Don't let them control our lives.

Judge Foote tells Lane County that it must put convicted felons in jail. If Lane County Commissioners have not provided funds for jail space that they have but are not using, Lane County must pay to house felons elsewhere.

My prediction is that a newly formed “not-for profit” will get a contract to house overflow inmates in makeshift prison camps. The start-up funds would come from the federal government laundered through the community system. Then after establishing a bloated overpaid staff, the county will be hit with the continuing bill to sustain the program. Sort of like how the Senior and Disabled Services are currently being run in Lane County Oregon.

School note: Local school will “turn over” part of athletics program to a “not-for-profit”. The part the NFP will handle is hiring coaches. Reminds me of how a former mayor got placed in Kidsports so he could continue to be paid for doing little work.  

Defazio note: he “helped “expedite” the paperwork for a not-for-profit related to health care so they would be eligible for stimulus funds. Anyone ready to sign-up for Wal-Mart delivered health care.

Have you noticed how many times the Dems point out that they are not as bad as the Bush administration? But the Dems controlled the Congress, if Obama and Clinton hadn’t been so involved with moving up the political food chain they could have kept things form melting down.

Has anyone seen which “institutional investors” pulled out of the market before the crash?
