• A Call for Action to the United States Department of Justice
    For many years the journalist Victor A. Valdes used his First Amendment rights under the United States Constitution to publicly denounce corruption and abuse of minorities (especially Hispanics), allegedly perpetrated by some members of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office. In the service of the Hispanic Community and other minorities that requested his assistance, the journalist Valdes investigated and denounced acts of excessive use of force, the death of an individual allegedly at the hands of a police officer, and instances of improper conduct. Today, Valdes and a broad-based group of community members reach out via this medium to request that those of you who favor justice and love the laws of this Great Nation demand an investigation and rectification of the injustices committed against the journalist Victor A. Valdes and his daughter-in-law Odalys Duquesne. On this page titled JUSTICEFORVICTORAVALDES.COM you will see evidence of perjuries committed by deputies Larry White and David Greve of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, which they used to deceive the judge and honorable jury in the case and led to the conviction and punishment of Valdes and his daughter-in-law. You will also see some examples of the many conspiracies committed against the journalist Valdes aimed at halting his public complaints. It has taken Valdes and some of his closest collaborators nine years to gather documents and videos to construct this page to show the world the evidence he was not allowed to present during the dirty trial to which he and his daughter-in-law were subjected (the judge and jury were not appraised of the facts). Acting under the color of the law, deputies Larry White y David Greve, both of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, violated the constitutional rights of the journalist Victor A. Valdes and Odalys Duquesne when they allegedly mutually agreed to knowingly lie under oath in their court testimony against Valdes and Duquesne. This constitutes a conspiracy and openly violated their civil and constitutional rights. This action a direct violation of Title 18, U.S.C. 241, Conspiracy Against Rights.

  • No Kill at Will in Alaska
    Considering the vast wilderness still available in Alaska it is unreasonable to assume that this is a law that could be monitored in any way whatsoever. Lawlessness much like the Old West of Tombstone days is a path easy to imagine for Alaska were the Kill at Will Bill passed. Please join us in defending ourselves against an anarchistic society such a bill would create.

  • REPEAL HR347 (Trespass Bill)
    This bill is titled as a so-called "Trespass Bill" when it fact all it is doing is taking a huge chunk out of our rights in the USA. This isn't about 9/11 anymore or "terrorists". Those of us that stand and fight for rights in this country and work to hold those elected officials accountable will one day be called terrorists ourselves, because we care to put the truth out there and not hide it in pretty words or slogans.

  • Government Grants/Competitions
    During my past 23 years of Residence in Arizona, I have observed many examples of Government Grants and Competitions which appear to be Discriminatory: 1) Grants are based on size of Organization, instead of Quality of Work. 2) Grants are based on Non-Profit 501(c)3 status, which does not always tell you the whole story about the organization. 3) Grants are usually awarded to well-known organizations instead of newcomers. 4) In "Individual Competitions," Judging Criteria are not always listed. 5) Rejection Letters do not include Evaluations. 6) Contestants are required to sign Waivers which give the Contest Directors the Right to Use their Intellectual Property without Credit to the person who created it. 7) Judging is often based on Political or Subjective Opinions of the Judging Committee. "Controversial Topics" are not allowed. 8) Those who Administer Grants or Competitions often have no background in the Area of Interest. 9) Sometimes, a Grant or Competition Award is denied to Minorities, Disabled, Seniors, or those of another Belief System. 10) There is no way to address these issues, because EEOC does not cover Grants and Competitions.

  • Restoring our Rights
    Restoring the Bill of Rights For more than two hundred years the people of the United States have been struggling and sometimes dying to defend their freedoms from threats both foreign and domestic. The Constitution requires that all Presidents and Representatives swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Yet, since the attack of 9/11/01, some lawmakers, under cover of fear, have advanced the Patriot Act, the National Defense Authorization Act and other legislation that directly contradicts and infringes upon the Bill of Rights. In the name of security, most of our rights under the original Ten Amendments have been eroded, reduced or effectively lost.

  • Stop discrimination for jobs or internship sites
    Many internship sites and jobs, in particular ones related to the medical or mental health field specifically hire candidates based on their sex/ gender. Many applicants are told that they were not hired due to the fact that the site wanted more men or more women. Too many qualified applicants are rejected based on the fact that they are a man or a woman and are openly told that they're greatly qualified but were only not hire due to the fact that they are the sex that they are. The same is true for different cultures. It's about time that the hiring process was based on merit rather than someone's sex, religion, sexual orientation, or country of origin.

  • Voter ID requirement - the new Poll Tax
    If the State or the US government should begin to require voter ID at the polls, then the State needs to provide that photo ID at the government's expense. TSA (Transportation Safety) at all the airports has cost the government (the taxpayers) over $50 Billion. They have effectively uncovered and confiscated numerous nail clippers, bottles of perfume and shaving lotion, but to date no terrorist. Think what that money could have done for our educational system. At least we would have safe and better equipped schools for our children. Photo Identification unless provided at State expense is a new "Poll Tax" which has been determined to be unconstitutional. Please sign to stop this right wing paranoid foolishness about requiring a photo ID to be allowed to exercise the right to vote.
