Washington and Wall Street have violated fundamental legal principles relating to money, credit, trust and confidence in banking that are 4,000 years old. Washington and Wall Street have breached the legal duties and standards of care governing money and banking that are nearly 2,000 years old. These violations caused the financial crisis. These same legal principles, duties, standards of care and laws exist today and may be enforced by the United States Department of Justice. These legal principles, duties and standards of care are so important, they are firmly enshrined in ancient Anglo-American common law, the United States Constitution and in United States federal statutory civil and criminal law. The Department of Justice has failed and refused to enforce the American rule of law. These legal principles, duties and standards of care are so important that they may be enforced by the private legal action of the American people. These legal principles, duties and standards of care are so important that federal law provides for the recovery of treble damages by the American people. According to the government, Americans’ financial damages exceed $10 trillion. Globally, peoples’ financial damages exceed $40 trillion. Human suffering is inestimable and untold. One individual, acting alone, cannot bear the burden of the American public’s obligation to protect the people through legal enforcement of these fundamental principles and laws. MoveOn can, and I petition MoveOn, including its officers, principals and financial supporters, to mobilize the American public and assemble a war chest, dedicate its staff, organization and membership sufficient to take on the entrenched interests in Washington and Wall Street. MoveOn can, and I petition MoveOn to add its efforts and resources to well-informed and dedicated professional leadership to enable the American people to take action under the American rule of law to recover their damages; penalize wrongdoing by Washington and Wall Street; provide incentives to changed conduct; and deter further wrongdoing and damage to the American public by Washington and Wall Street. By granting and acting on this petition, MoveOn can exponentially increase its grass roots public, social media and organizational power and influence; harness the energy and talent of its activist base; and allow the group to break free of Washington dogma. MoveOn can and must demonstrate its commitment to not only effect change, it can actually contribute to the accountability and justice for the American people, the imposition of which is a condition to meaningful change in Washington and on Wall Street. MoveOn can and must contribute directly to the re-establishment of America’s fundamental values and help repair the shredded American social and economic fabric and has been wrenched asunder by Washington and Wall Street through the financial crisis.

From André Mulligan a very important a must read, can I live? The days of being a black man in Louisville, KY is now at a point of fearing for your life. Where the police can do as they please! Last night, some friends and I were sitting outside of Club 116 located between 1st and 2nd on Main St. When a police car drove past speeding, I yelled out ”slow down”, right then and there the officer stopped and asked me to put my hands on top of his squad car. As I walk up to do as he asked while placing my hands on top of the car I asked “what did I do”? He then asked did I have an ID, now taken I had just took it out of my pocket and it was sitting in my vehicle I stated “no”. He then said you’re under arrest for public intoxication, not knowing I had not had a drink at all. While placing my hands behind my back, several in the crowded yelled give him a Breathalyzer test. He then yelled" your resisting arrest and I was like sir I’m not and he stepped over with his right leg and drove me to the pavement. Once on the ground he yelled let your hands go, but I didn’t have them anymore they were behind my back but he wasn’t reaching for my hands and he then reached over and punched me in my face with his right hand. Placing a knee over my neck, he waited until another officer ran up, who began trying to push the crowd back who was watching this injustice happen right there in their face. However, he then began threatening the crowd to be tased if they didn’t put away their cells phones. They the officers than picked me up and smashed my head in the back window of the trunk and grabbed me and threw me in on my face in the squad car. Once I was in, I yelled to the officer, "You’re a sorry ass cop” and he then says “Oh yell”. Opens the car door back up and jumped in on top of me and began to punch me in my face again. The second officer with a gray shirt then ran on the other side grabbing my neck and began to twist it. Once I noticed what was going on, I yelled to him why are you trying to break my neck, yelling out loud as he twisted and cranked for 45 sec before reaching under my head as him and the other office played tug of war with one grabbing my feet and one my head trying to hurt me as much as possible. However coming to an end the officer with the gray shirt walked around to the other side and put a seat belt on me and both officer drove up to the light at 2nd in main and one yells in the car window to the other and says “This nigga is crazy" the officer in the other car said “Hey, you wanna take him somewhere” and knowing that they were being tailed the officer driving me declined the offer. Pulling up to lock up, i was met by some 5 white police officers that all rushed to aid of their Klan style beating that their officers did to me only to be met by the sergeant who began taking pictures of me and asking some questions of what happen. Declaring it will now be an internal affairs case. Black people in Louisville, I feared for my life last night, I really thought that I wasn’t going to live another day at the hands of the police and if they had their way I would be dead! I have a mild head concussion, a broken nose and a sprained thumb. I’m a great citizen and I love my city, but we have to get these police out. They are suppose to serve and protect, they are supposed to read you your rights? Which I received none. I’m sick of this hurt, I’m of being treated like a nobody, like a nigga, like an ant. Well it’s time to start voting these mayors and judges and captains out of office. We are the citizens and us as blacks need to come together, build together, and stop this injustice.

With Medical Science extending our lives, it is time to limit the terms in Congress. i.e. Representatives to 3 terms & Senators to 2 Terms.

NBC Executives who hired Trump supporting EX-Chair of the RNC, Ronna McDaniel should be fired.

Dear Senators, I urge you to oppose confirmation of Bernard McNamee as the next Commissioner to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Donald Trump nominated B. McNamee because he is another fossil fuel advocate and apologist. We don’t need more fossil fool advocates in government leadership – we need smart people who care about our people, environment and future generations. Bernard McNamee is a vocal supporter of dirty fossil fuels. In a 2018 Earth Day op-ed printed in The Hill, Mr. McNamee applauded the ongoing use of oil, coal, fracked shale gas and other fossil fuels. Using that same silly line that clean energy only works “when the sun is shining or wind is blowing,”(i) Mr. McNamee suggested that meeting energy needs through clean energy options is not realistic, ignoring the wealth of research demonstrating that not only are clean energy strategies available and growing, but by 2050 clean energy options can well serve U.S. energy needs,(ii) while protecting our environment, public health, job creation and the economy all at the same time. FERC is a known Rubber Stamp when it comes to approving fracked gas pipeline projects. Pipelines are locking our nation into a fossil fuel future and ensuring we are subjected to the most devastating harms of climate change. Every FERC pipeline approved is putting more families in peril, costing taxpayers billions of dollars in needed response, keeping workers from their jobs and preventing the advancement of clean energy technologies that create 3 to 5 times the number of jobs than their dirty fossil fuel counterparts. Waters are being polluted, communities devastated, and the future of our children, our children’s children, and every future generation to come is being jeopardized. In addition, FERC is blatantly misusing its authority to undermine the rights of property owners, communities, states and other agencies to question or challenge fracked gas pipelines. I join with individuals, organizations and communities from across the nation to urge you to reject Bernard McNamee to fill the vacant FERC Commissioner seat – he is unsuitable for the job. In addition, I urge you to call for congressional hearings into FERC’s blatant bias towards pipelines, and its abuses of power and law, so that you can put in place needed reforms and then identify a worthy candidate to fill the Commission vacancy. If we are to save our communities, nation and earth, we need FERC Commissioners who recognize science as an important tool for decisionmaking, who recognize the importance and viability of clean energy on a near-term basis, and who recognize that fossil fuels, including their CO2 and Methane emissions, are contributing to devastating impacts on our nation and earth and need to be phased out as soon as possible. Please, reject Bernard McNamee’s nomination to be a FERC Commissioner, hold hearings into FERC’s abuses instead. Respectfully and Urgently, i. Bernard McNamee, This Earth Day, let’s accept the critical role the fossil fuel plays in energy needs, The Hill, April 17, 2018, available at https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/383605-this-earth-day-lets-accept-the-critical-role-that-fossil-fuel. ii.

If you would like to comment on this proposal send your comments to [email protected] 1. Parents in dispute will submit a jointly agreed parenting plan to the court specifying how their children are to be raised including decision making authority, time sharing allocations and a method for resolving/mediating disputes outside of court. Each parent: a. Will have 40% custody unless he or she is under indictment for or convicted of a child abuse crime that would deem him/her harmful to the child(ren). Accusations will not be used to prohibit a parent’s custody. b. Will propose a parenting plan that includes a child exchange location that is neutral and in reasonable proximity for both parents. c. Will propose a parenting plan that includes visitation with extended family members. d. Will complete a state approved, in person co-parenting course developed and administered by licensed family counselors. 2. In the event parents cannot reach agreement on a parenting plan either in its entirety or particular components regarding shared residential time and responsibility there will be: a. A rebuttable presumption that equally shared residential time is in the best interest of the child(ren). b. The presumption may be overcome based on a preponderance of the evidence on issues not falling within the equally shared residential time exceptions. c. The burden of overcoming the presumption rests on the party challenging the presumption. 3. Should parents submit competing parenting plans, the court shall preference the timesharing portion of the plan which provides the child the greatest amount of time with both parents. 4. Children should spend no less than 40% residential time sharing as a baseline minimum with each parent, absent any of the exceptions. 5. Consistent with these provisions, the court retains discretion to craft a parenting plan in the child’s best interest when parents cannot reach parenting plan agreement. 6. Where a substantiated finding of abuse, neglect or abandonment exists the court may craft a parenting plan consistent with code sections pertaining to such findings and consistent with the child’s best interest. 7. Should the parents not agree to a parenting plan and the court award less than 40% residential-time sharing to each parent the court will provide written finding of fact regarding deviation below 40%. Initial appeals process will be court-ordered mediation. 8. At any temporary hearing where custody and/or residential time sharing allocations are considered the court will issue temporary orders providing the children with as close to an equal time sharing allocation with each parent as is reasonable and practical, unless exceptions apply. a. When the court issues an order holding a party in contempt of court for violation of a visitation order, the clerk shall transmit a copy of the contempt order to the sheriff of the county. The sheriff shall furnish a copy of each contempt order to the Department of State Police on a daily basis in the form and manner required by the Department. The Department shall maintain a complete record and index of the contempt orders and make this data available to all local law enforcement agencies b. Attorney fees and costs shall be assessed against a party if the court finds that the enforcement action is vexatious and constitutes harassment. c. If a parent has been previously found in contempt by the court and found to have engaged in visitation abuse, the court will: (1) Incarcerate the offending parent one day for each day of denied visitation; and (2) Require the offending party to post a $5,000 bond subject to forfeiture for the purpose of assuring compliance with future visitation. 9. The explicit intent of this legislation is to recognize that in the vast majority of cases the maintenance of a full relationship between children. 10. All parties involved in this process will complete Non-Custodial Parent training. 11. The results (statistics) from each parenting plan will be posted as public record.

I am requesting legislation that requires Mandatory Confidential Family Treatment for first time non-violent sex offenses such as Romeo/Juliet, Child Porn, and incest. Early intervention and treatment is effective but is not an option with our current laws. Legislation for PREVENTION which provide resources: 1) Give children the opportunity to confidentially report to someone they trust; not a stranger who takes them out of the home and places them in foster care with strangers. 2) That person would call in the whole family and DSHS, for an Intervention and as a family decide how to handle the situation. 3) DSHS would decide who should receive Mandatory Confidential Treatment and follow through to assist the family through treatment. The law and the court would be the last resort if there is no hope for changing the behavior or keeping the family intact. 4) The family would be financially responsible for family treatment. Most insurance companies will pay but the cost of treatment is minimal compared to hiring an attorney to defend against charges that are undefendable. Benefits: 1. Protects children by encouraging them to tell to stop and change the behavior versus the loss of family. (90-95% of offences against children are committed by a family member or someone close to them (first time offenders) and they remain silent because of harsh laws.) These are the (90-95%) children we are failing to protect. 2. Abusers are unable to seek professional treatment because of Mandatory reporting laws. There is NO treatment available and they continue until many other children are harmed before they are reported. Stop Child Molestation by Dr. Gene Abel and Nora Harlow also states many are treatable and curable and give examples of effective treatment. 3. The cost of treatment paid for by Medical Insurance would diminish the State costs (to incarcerate) by billions. Children will be saved, the offender will be cured, taxes would go down, and the deficit would decline. 4. Cover-ups would be eliminated if treatment was an option. 5. The removal of all child porn sites versus legally monitored sites would decrease our cost to taxpayers. 6. There would be no need for a public registry because those truly a threat to children and Society would be incarcerated. People on the registry would not have to fear incarceration for failure to register and taxpayers would not have to support them again. 7. The cost of treatment is minimal versus building more prisons at the taxpayer’s expense. Guard against potential risks from first time non-violent offenders from outside the prison walls and lock up only the truly dangerous. If an equal amount was spent on prevention as prosecution, incarceration, and lifetime registry, we would see a better community living in harmony with sex offenders (who are NOT a threat) and their families, who are innocent. Research studies state cognitive behavior therapy is the best treatment for offenders. The Child Molestation Research and Prevention state child molesters can be treated and cured before an act is committed but perhaps some do not realize they have a problem until a child is molested. I personally am advocating that laws be changed to mandatory treatment (for any non-violent sex crime) versus incarceration and allow competent sex specific therapists to determine if an accused offender is a threat to society BEFORE he is labeled in the eyes of the media, the legal system, and the whole family is labeled for life. Children want the behavior changed, not the loss of family. The family must be the first priority and allowed to stay intact to support each other with love, compassion and forgiveness as they navigate through recovery. Just like Sandy Hook Elementary, there are children hiding in their rooms crying for help. Please send help immediately by asking Congress to attach a Certificate of Necessity, which allows the legislature to vote on it immediately

"I can't breathe." It is time for Charlotte and the rest of America to listen to the dying words of George Floyd and Eric Garner. Let us be clear about George Floyd's death: this was a public, blatant lynching for all the world to see. The lynching of George Floyd is another reminder in a long list of reminders that African Americans are under attack and being murdered every single day in America. Just four years after the murder of Keith Lamont Scott and our own uprising in Charlotte, the upward mobility crisis continues to impact Black communities. Wealth must be decolonized and racism must be dismantled in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. We ask for support and share the following actionable items: 1. We call on the Mayor, City Council, County Commissioners of Mecklenburg County, to present a plan to examine and address the decolonizing of wealth and the dismantling of racism in Charlotte. We seek action specifically in the sectors of land, business, and criminal justice. This includes immediate action regarding ongoing gentrification and displacement, an evaluation of policing in the time since the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, and a commitment to engage with the transformative practice of restorative justice. 2. According to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., rioting is the voice of the unheard. There are uprisings in 30 or more cities with the National Guard deployed in 13 states. We call upon the Mayor and County Commissioners to declare racism towards the African American community a State of Emergency. 3. George Floyd died in Minneapolis, a city perceived as progressive while having entrenched systemic racism - Charlotte could be similarly described. Four years ago we learned that the “well of opportunity" in Charlotte runs dry when we ranked 50th out of 50th in upward mobility. We call upon the architects of the Leading on Opportunities initiative to provide an accounting of monies raised and spent on this initiative. Where are we now after four years and millions raised? 4. Charlotte is the second largest banking center in the US, ranked only after New York City. Money flows here, and yet progress for longtime-residents displaced from Brooklyn and other parts of Uptown remains stagnant. We call on the Charlotte banking and corporate business industries to fund in tangible and new ways the decolonizing of wealth and the dismantling of racism in Charlotte. This includes funding and doing the capacity building necessary for African American run non-profit organizations and Black-owned small businesses. We ask that the banking industry in Charlotte provide a public report outlining its plan and success or lack thereof in one year. 5. We recognize the need for marginalized people to have increased access to public officials to shift the focus and pathways of institutionalized power. We call on the ten largest local nonprofits to utilize 20% of their advocacy budgets to lobby specifically on the issues of decolonizing wealth and dismantling racism in Charlotte, and in one year release public reports outlining outcomes and impact on directly affected groups. 6. Financially support Restorative Justice CLT. Restorative Justice CLT is a vital part of the solution for these problems. For the past fourteen months we have been holding listening sessions and building a broad-based coalition of countywide organizations. The Restorative Justice Fund is based on the six priorities established by the Black community during town hall meetings over the past year. The Fund will be used for restorative measures to accelerate upward mobility and healing for disadvantaged African Americans in Charlotte. Designations will include support of restorative measures in the areas of education, faith communities, business, housing (anti-displacement, land values and ownership), criminal justice, and mental health.
