July 10th, 2012 From Paul Boston 372 Union St. Brooksville, Florida 34601 Phone: (352) 797-5451 E-Mail: [email protected] Subject: The systematic abuse of power in my community. Citizen Complaint 07-10-2012 To whom it may concern. The fact that a letter like this has got to be written is a crime in it self. It is so amazing how the interest of the people is so easily put aside for the desirer of a few to hold on and stay in power. It has been brought to my attention that private and personal information has been release to government agencies after they had concluded that there was no need for due process of the law in my case. One of the reasons that I was running for office was because of the current administration has been using our tax money for their wants and needs and ignoring the needs of the poor and minorities of this community. Threating to tear down the housing project and move the people out side of south brooksville area and out of the city of Brooksville, leading to the removal of all the people, in this area, out of the city to make way for progress, so that the land can be used for future development. And it is the same people that are out to get me and others who will benefit from this action.] They also have the backing of the local media and the press, to plant the idea that this is an undesirable area, while land own by these individuals are price at an all time high. These are the same officials who can, with a phone call, have a person tried judge and convicted without due process of the law. And now I am being charged with fraud on two counts. The problem that I have with that is that all of the people who are in authority to insure that this kind of misjudgments will not occur are the same people in position to benefit from the removal and destruction of this community. Thus making me an obstacle in their path to a successful conclusion! Real Estate Agents, Land Owners and Brokers, Developers CPA, Friends and Family members who have no contact with the people of this community, except as master and servant. These are the people that are in authority over this community. The fact that they could call up an investigation on anyone that they choose, is one thing. It is not like they are using their own money and resources to do so. But to do so as if they know enough information on people that they have no contact with, at the tax payer’s expense, and use all of their resources with the Police Department, the Housing Authorities, the State Prosecutor’s Office, the Public Defender’s Office, and the Judges that will hear this case. So for me to think that I can get a fair trial out of this is out the question. The only fair thing to do is to move this trial outside the domain of the people in power and their peers. I ask for you help in this matter. 1. Informed the local agencies to look into this matter in a forensic way. To not just take the word of these local agencies but to dig deep to discover the paten of conspiracy and inclusion. 2. Petition for my case to be moved outside their sphere of influence. 3. The fact that a letter that does not offer any do process of law was used against my daughter. Forcing her to make decision of self preservation against her progenitor. 4. Investigate how this and others false stories can make it into the press with out the facts. Stories that have been and will be proven false in the end. 5. How funds and resources are always able to get into the hands of these same individual time and time again, despise the fact that accusation, charges and indictment have been launch at them. 6. Stop the campaign of fear, apprehension and intimidation that is practice here in this community. 7. Compare these chargers and declarations with the promises made in the charters and mission statements that these agencies have swore to up hold. We have a lot of problem here in the South Brooksville area. Many of them we can resolve with time and training. But as long as we have this Jim Crow system of justice and legal solvency we will always have problems. I feel that my indictment is a good thing. It can be used as a vehicle to bring many of these concerns to light. Given not only myself but the system and the government a chance to answer some of these concerns. I hope that you will join me in this fight for justice and fairness in this community and the many other communities who are facing this problem of remaining in the past and being lord over by a few rich who are only loyal to themselves and their friends and family Fraternally your Paul Boston Resident at 327 Union St. Brooksville, Florida 34601

Children who are hungry cannot possibly succeed in school because they don't have the ability to focus on lessons while contemplating a way to stop their hunger. According to information stated by the Food Stamp Program: For over 40 years, the federal Food Stamp Program, now officially named SNAP - the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - has served as a mainline federal social assistance program designed to help low-income families and individuals buy the food they need for good health. The SNAP (Food Stamp) program now helps put nutritious food on the tables of 28 million people every month. In this statement, it says that the program is designed to help low-income families to buy the food they need for good health. But is the food people are buying with the food stamps nutritious like the Food Stamp Program claims it is? Food Stamp guidelines should include only healthy foods from the 7 main food groups and water: Meats: Fresh or frozen (not processed) Fruits & Vegetables: Fresh or frozen and also to be used at community gardens or farmers markets Cereals: Hot or cold but no sugared cereals. Dairy: Also called milk products include milk, yogurt and cheese as well as ice cream. Fats and oils: Corn cooking oil, butter and margarine. Fruit: Sometimes categorized with vegetables, is typically a medium-sized category in nutrition guides, though occasionally a small one. Examples include apples, oranges, bananas, berries and melons. If you stand in line at your local food market for one hour on any given day however, you’ll see what people are purchasing with their food stamps. You will see them buying fancy half-sheet birthday cakes, bottles of sugared soda, candy, cookies, snacks, and numerous other unhealthy types of food. Is this the way we are stopping hunger for our children? Here are some realistic solutions to the problem that could be easily implemented immediately: SECTION 1: Revamp Food Stamps using the model of the WIC program. Recipients of Food Stamps should be allowed to use these stamps for the same types of items as WIC allows people to buy which is healthy food for the children. This means if people want to buy junk food or fancy cakes, they will have to pay for it out of their cash allocations. SECTION 2: Every recipient of Welfare Benefits will be issued a valid state identification card for items purchased with food stamps. This will help decrease food stamps “fraud” where people sell their food stamps at a discounted price for cash to support a drug or/alcohol addiction instead of using the Food Stamps to feed their children. However, we know people sell their Food Stamps even when they use a valid ID. The stores don't check ID's which is the problem. They sell the whole card to the person they're selling it to for 1/2 the value. The Food Stamp recipient then reports their card lost or missing and gets a new one issued in 3 days. The person who bought the card simply disposes of it after it is used up. Implement stiff penalties for store owners who don't check ID and a person must pay a decent amount of money after reporting a card lost or missing 3 times. That will cut down on fraudulent use and sales of Food Stamps. SECTION 3: Every recipient receiving public assistance for more than two years is to be tested for drugs randomly. There are so many people who are on prescribed medications who are also selling their Food Stamps and are illicit drug users. Urinalysis can decipher who is using prescribed drugs and who is not. If they test positive for an illegal substance, the recipient will be provided with drug recovery services and a social worker/child advocate will be appointed to ensure that the children are being fed and clothed properly by way of the welfare benefits. If the individual tests positive a second time, the allocation of public assistance will be suspended until he/she goes for help. SECTION 4: Subsidize the working poor who are working-not staying home on welfare--with more benefits such as subsidized healthcare and additional food stamps. SECTION 5: Provide free mandatory nutritious meals in public, private, and parochial schools throughout the school year with the money saved by Food Stamp abuse. Copyright, 2011

Seattle School Board John Stanford Center for Educational Excellence 2445 3rd Avenue South Seattle, WA 98134 Office of the Superintendent Dr. Brent Jones MS: 32-150  PO Box 34165  Seattle, WA 98124-1165 December 12, 2024 Dear Members of the Seattle School Board and Dr. Jones, We are writing to express our concern regarding the district's recent contract with Talkspace to provide mental health services for students. While we appreciate the district’s dedication to supporting student mental health, we question whether this partnership effectively aligns with the goals of the City of Seattle’s Executive Order on youth safety. Mayor Harrell has emphasized that, “students and young people need to feel safe to learn and grow,” and outlined a comprehensive approach to achieving this through investments in mental health care, improved safety, and community-based supports. In light of these objectives, we would like to ask: 1. How does the partnership with Talkspace specifically address the safety and well-being of students as outlined in the Executive Order? 2. What measures are in place to ensure that Talkspace’s virtual model provides meaningful, individualized care that fosters trust and emotional safety for students? 3. How will the district assess whether this partnership strengthens community-based supports, as prioritized in the Executive Order? 4. Given the emphasis on collaboration with schools and community partners, how was Talkspace chosen over local, nonprofit, or in-person mental health providers? 5. How will Talkspace’s services be monitored to ensure they deliver high-quality care that reflects the needs and voices of Seattle’s young people and their families? We understand the district’s claim that this program will give teens and young adults access to confidential, high-quality mental health support through Talkspace’s secure digital platform, addressing the urgent need for accessible mental health care amidst a youth mental health crisis. While this is an admirable goal, we are concerned about how Talkspace will achieve this given its questionable business practices: • Data Privacy and Confidentiality Risks: Talkspace has faced criticism for its handling of sensitive user data, raising doubts about its ability to provide truly confidential care. How can we ensure that students’ private information is fully protected on this platform? Even tech companies whose intentions may be to help children are now facing major litigation relating to their harmful data privacy violations. Schools and cities should be sure to read the fine print very carefully.(https://edtech.law/cases/nonconsensual-student-data-mining-powerschool-and-ixl-learning/) • Quality of Care: Talkspace’s model relies heavily on scalability and text-based communication, which often lack the depth and personalization required for effective mental health support. How will Talkspace ensure that each of the 55,000 students receives high-quality, meaningful care rather than generic, surface-level responses, especially in higher acuity circumstances? • Equity Concerns: Historically, digital platforms excluded students with limited internet access or technological proficiency. Today, marginalized communities face a new digital divide— they are most vulnerable to data privacy harms, excessive reliance on digital tech, and predatory business models. How will this program address these inequities? • Profit-Driven Model: As a for-profit company, Talkspace’s priorities may not align with the district’s goals. How will Seattle Public Schools hold Talkspace accountable to ensure its focus remains on the well-being of students rather than maximizing shareholder profits? • Lack of Transparency/Community Input: Many of us in the community were surprised by the announcement of this partnership. Was feedback solicited from parents, local organizations, and the larger mental health community? Were local concerns taken into consideration as part of the District's due diligence? • Issues with Other School Districts: https://studentprivacymatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Teenspace-Letter-2024.9.10.pdf Given the stakes, we strongly encourage the board to reconsider this partnership and explore alternatives such as expanding in-school counseling programs and working with trusted local mental health organizations and clinicians. Such solutions would better align with the district’s commitment to student safety, trust, and community engagement. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. We look forward to your response.

*Adapted, with permission, from the letter previously sent and read to the school committee by THS teacher, Christine Stokley We firmly believe that an eighth grade academy, where one location houses only eighth grade students, is not what is best for students, families, and staff.   We have seen firsthand that all of the eighth grade students being in one place has resulted in a variety of issues.  When eighth grade was housed in 5-8 middle schools, they were in a position where they were seen as leaders in the building, providing an opportunity to model for younger students, with some even providing mentorship to younger students.  At the high school, it is the opposite.  They are seen as the youngest, most immature group in the building, taking this sense of maturity and responsibility from them.  In a situation where there are only eighth grade students in a building, they will continue to be deprived of the opportunity to fulfill a role of building leaders, where they can gain the leadership skills and maturity that will likely lead to a better high school experience.  The enormous behavior concerns among eighth grade students are largely not among other grades in the high school.  Eighth graders typically engage in conflict with other eighth graders.  Issues of cyber bullying and other social media fueled incidents with eighth graders are often with other eighth  graders.  Continuing to isolate this age group would not solve this very real issue. Furthermore, as a result of these issues, it would be remiss to ignore the very likely possibility that teacher turnover at an eighth grade academy would be high.  The eighth grade is a population of students that has demonstrated to us an enormous need of experienced support and guidance. The following data (from this year’s Taunton High School discipline records) illustrates the disparity in behavioral incidents between the eighth grade and grades 9-12: Taunton High School Behavioral Incidents2024-2025 as of March 3, 2025 | Grade 8 | Grade 9 | Grade 10 | Grade 11 | Grade 12 # of recorded incidents | # of recorded  incidents | # of recorded  incidents | # of  recorded incidents | # of recorded  incidents Disorderly conduct /insubordination (combined) | 97 | 39 | 62 | 27 | 3 Fighting/battery(combined) | 33 | 12 | 9 | 6 | 4 There is a realistic possibility that teachers will burn out quickly when faced with the consistent behavioral challenges we know exist when this age group is congregated, and burned out teachers don’t stay in their positions.  Please consider the importance of doing all you can to create an environment conducive to high quality teacher retention. It may prove to be difficult to find teachers interested in these positions, and then, ultimately, to retain them. Students will not benefit from high teacher turn over, therefore, neither will the district.  It is abundantly clear that our population is on the rise, and will only continue to grow with the development plans in place (Whittenton Mills, etc.). It stands to reason that one of the results of an increase of population is an increase in school numbers.  It is hard to believe that we will not need more schools to accommodate this in the future.  To ignore the benefit of creating a fourth middle school at the 2 Hamilton Street (formerly Coyle and Cassidy school) seems like a short term decision based on financial and administrative benefit.  What seems to be the best long term decision for all stakeholders is to turn the 2 Hamilton Street property into a fourth middle school.  This prepares the city for the inevitable rise in student numbers and would provide the ability to redistrict the city to accommodate the eighth grade going back down to middle school across the city of Taunton.  Most of the teachers, parents, and even students asked feel that eighth grade belongs in middle school.  This solution is likely the most expensive, and creates more work for the district in general, but it is clearly what is best for students, staff, families, and community stakeholders in the long run.  We truly believe that the eighth grade students in the city will not thrive; academically, behaviorally, or emotionally, in an isolated setting.   Without the benefit of a heterogenous grade level setting, a smaller group of same age students, and the opportunity to succeed as building leaders with smaller class sizes, eighth grade students and teachers will continue to be at a disadvantage in the city of Taunton. An eighth grade academy will not solve the eighth grade problems that are faced by having them in the high school, it will only solve the high school’s problem of the eighth grade being there. Thank you for your consideration on behalf of what is best for the wellbeing of our children, staff, and community,

Is the American Government really oblivious about the chemtrails? https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=78rKNoR4T0w It is the shared belief of many that these "contrails" aren't contrails at all, but a chemical compound being released in methodical fashion for reasons unknown by our government. As such, I've chosen to refer to them as CHEMTRAILS on this website to avoid any semantic confusion. Why do we think what we think? Well, apart from the repeated, intense, and unusual flight-patterns, odd illnesses will sometimes strike people shortly after these chemtrail episodes; multiple witnesses have also reported a cobweb-like substance seen falling from the sky. You should also know that a lab-analysis of some "goo" which fell to the ground revealed the presence of biological-agents: Pseudomonas Fluorescens, Streptomyces, and a restriction enzyme used to create viruses. (See this report). Further, a gentleman who has been following the contrails around the country for years had a medical test which discovered pathogens in his body -- the rare V2 Grippe virus among them -- pathogens that should only be found in laboratories (see same report). Chemtrail spraying continues into December 2010 in Ventura County, Los Angeles County and Orange County. Our cities are having our atmosphere geoengineered in the name of global warming. You are now breathing air filled with ethylene dibromide and other toxic metals and chemicals. Chemtrails look like jet exhaust contrails that disappear in 30-40 seconds in the sky. They form long white lines/patterns across the sky that stay up for many hours above our heads and fall on unsuspecting citizens as we go about our daily lives. So many people are unaware that they are being contaminated with toxins in the air they are breathing. There is not one human health risk assessment or environmental impact study that has been submitted for public and civil examinations, comments or debates. This violates civil, environmental and international laws, with respect to treaties. Chemtrails, Chemical trails or Aerosol spraying, are a very real threat to humanity on a global scale and must be stopped. This site will catch you up to speed on chemtrail spraying and what you need to do right now to stop chemtrail spraying California and what you can do to protect your family. STARTED and FUNDED by Microsoft founder and vaccine enthusiast BILL GATES... Spraying the skies with sulfate particles will destroy the planet faster than ‘global warming’ ever could Sulfate particles are toxic, though, and constitute the very same type of ambient particulate matter (PM) that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be a noxious air pollutant. Deliberately spraying the skies with tiny particles composed of any material, for that matter, is hazardous both to respiratory health in humans and animals, as well as to water sources, soils, and other delicate environmental resources. “Sulfate particles from acid rain can cause harm to the health of marine life in the rivers and lakes it contaminates, and can result in mortality,” says an online water pollution guide (http://www.water-pollution.org.uk/health.html). A University of Washington (UW) report also explains that sulfate particles “contribute to acid rain, cause lung irritation, and have been a main culprit in causing the haze that obscures a clear view of the Grand Canyon.” Blocking the sun with reflective particles will also deprive humans of natural sunlight exposure, which is a primary source for naturally generating health-promoting vitamin D in the body. So once again, Bill Gates is at the helms of a project that seeks to control the climate in artificial ways using toxic chemicals, an endeavor that is sure to create all sorts of potentially irreversible problems for humanity and the planet. What happens when you put fluoride in the body? It make it absorb way more aluminum. What's happens when large amounts of aluminium are deposited in the body? It collects in the brain and causes Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's. Filter your water, stop drinking fluoridated water and prepare, this is a world wide pandemic!

Remove Donald Trump From Office for Violations of His Own Presidential Oath of Office and the Constitution of the United States of America. "It is our job as undaunted citizens of America to safeguard our endangered republic at all costs. Ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and those often recited words will never lose their meaning. It’s bad enough that this sorry excuse for a “leader” is in the pocket of Vladimir Putin, who murders his enemies and detractors with casual disregard for human dignity. It’s bad enough that a virulent white nationalist has become Trump’s most trusted advisor, privy to the most sensitive matters of national security, and that another career racist with a long history of siding with white supremacists and voter suppression is about to be confirmed as Attorney General of the United States. It’s bad enough that, without our consent, against the will of a broad majority of voters, that our country is being swept up in terrifying and worldwide wave of right-wing nationalist extremism. But to tolerate a president who stumbles clumsily all over the laws and ideals of this country because he doesn’t understand them in the first place is impossible; and to stand idly by while a handful of billionaire plutocrats rapidly dismantle the progress we have achieved as a nation is unacceptable. This is not something any of us should take lightly, accept obediently, or remain timidly silent about." - Sasha Stone 1. DECLARATION OF RESISTANCE When in the course of American history it becomes necessary for the people to save our Nation from a Tyrant, 2. To safeguard equality for all and their inalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness from bigotry and corruption, 3. To ensure that our Government continues derive its power from the consent of the governed rather than by autocracy, 4. That whenever any President becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to make such demands upon their Congress: 5. Immediate impeachment of the President for crimes committed, or removal from office by way of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. 6. Donald J. Trump has conducted injuries and usurpations, pursuing the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. 7. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world– 8. He has obstructed the Laws for Naturalization of Immigrants, and illegally banned refugees in need of safe haven. 9. He has continued to violate federal court orders which require the temporary cessation of this ban, thereby violating his executive oath. 10. He has dismissed an Attorney General for fulfilling her oath to defend the Constitution, defying the autonomy of the Dept. of Justice. 11. He has purged the State Dept. of its highest level officials without any regard for a responsible continuity of State Affairs. 12. He has enlisted amateur ideologues – such as the white supremacist Stephen L. Bannon – to make national security decisions. 13. He has vowed to enact policy and legislation which clearly tread on the separation of church and state. 14. He has refused to remove or address conflicts of interest regarding both his own business and that of his cabinet and family. 15. He has hastily signed multiple Executive Orders without the advisement of Congress, policy experts, his cabinet or staff. 16. He has signed an Executive Order which knowingly deprives the sick of desperately needed healthcare with no concern for their lives. 17. He has signed an Executive Order permitting a pipeline that tramples on Native American Rights and endangers safe water supply. 18. He has illegally threatened to cut off funding to Sanctuary Cities which have determined their values through self-governance. 19. He has knowingly, repeatedly and egregiously misled the public, and directed his staff to do the same. 20. He has strongly advocated for the silencing and suppression of a Free Press. 21. He has repeatedly and consistently shown contempt for people based race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity and religion. 22. He has shown disdain and disregard for the judiciary, and the fundamental human rights that are the foundation of Justice. 23. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. 24. We shall Resist until our Congress uses the mechanisms afforded to by the Constitution to remove this Tyrant from Power.

We now have proof of what battered mothers and battered children have been saying for years: sexist judges are routinely giving custody of children to abusers because they hold prejudiced views about mothers generally, about father supremacy, and the "correctness" of their decisions. Mothers and children's lives are being unfairly destroyed by the judges prejudice, and mothers and children are put directly in harms way. Abusive fathers know that they will never be held accountable by these sexist judges in custody cases, and law enforcement refuses to enforce laws deferring entirely to the judges in pending custody cases. The domestic violence laws need to be enforced and law enforcement should have their funding taken away at the federal level if these laws are not enforced. Moreover, given the pervasive sexist bias of judges across the United States, and the failures of individual states to stop this form of prejudice and corruption, federal civil rights code needs to be changed to specifically prohibit sexist bias in custody cases and provide for sure criminal and civil penalties against judges and states for the harm done to abused mothers and abused children. Kidnapping and concealment laws need to be changed to require law enforcement to prosecute fathers who kidnap, conceal, and perjure themselves during the mutli-year chaos caused by the judges' refusal to ever hold abusive fathers accountable in pending and final custody cases. No man who is an internet sexual predator, batters, threatens, abuses, or rapes a mother should ever be eligible to get custody. No mother should ever be punished with a complete severing of ties with her children simply because a judge doesn't believe her reporting of domestic violence, abuse, perjury by the father, kidnapping, concealment, or jurisdiction of the court. Laws need to be changed to recognize that family courts across the United States are severely biased simply due to sexist and prejudiced judges. The problems are severe and so wide spread that both federal and state authorities must be held accountable immediately through a dramatic change in the law to make judges and other quasi-court officials personally liable for their sexist and prejudiced views and rulings. The fact is that the vast majority of custody cases that are contested in family court are ones in which the abusive father is using the court system to impose harm on the abused mother and abused children. Fathers' Litigation Abuse needs to be stopped and punished severely starting immediately! My 7 year old daughter has been kidnapped and concealed by her biological father, who is an internet sexual predator and victimized and raped me, for over 5 1/2 years all due to the problems described above by Alexandria, VA judges who I have evidence were bribed to hear my case without ever having jurisdiction to do so. The specific judges in VA are Judge Nolan Dawkins, Judge Donald Haddock, and Judge Richard Jamborsky. Worse, the pre-existing custody and child support case in DC has been deliberately thwarted through informal conspiracy by Chief Judge Lee Satterfield and over 10 judges and magistrates who never took any formal court action to move the case to VA, and recognition by the DC court that neither I, my daughter, or the biological father -- nobdy -- lived in VA for the entire time of the VA proceedings! I was actually judged not just to be a fit mother, but an excellent mother. Yet the VA judges not only held hearings and trial, but there is transcript evidence of the bribery of the judges with promises by the biological father and his lawyers to pull political strings to get the judge appointed to a higher court or to get another judge a position at the father's law firm and other political favors. Also, Judge Richard Jamborsky came right out in hearing on transcript and stated that he didn't care if the father is "a brute!" This is clear evidence of his sexist and unfairly biased social perspective. Me and my innocent child are suffering extremely due to corruption, sexism, and malfeasance of the judges. The VA judges and DC Chief Judge Lee Satterfield need to be removed immediately from their judicial responsibilities! Here's the strong proof of widespread sexist and illegal discrimination against mothers and children in custody and support cases: http://ssw.umich.edu/about/profiles/saunddan/Custody-Evaluators-Beliefs-About-Domestic-Abuse-Allegations-Final-Tech-Report-to-NIJ-10-31-11.pdf

They also take away much of the flexibility currently available for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) to manage wolves. These proposals also affect areas that closely approximate Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. Some of these bills even prevent Fish Wildlife and Parks from closing zones near the park. It is clear that Montana chooses to manipulate the population of wolves in order to grow more elk – it is ethically and scientifically wrong to manipulate the population of one species to benefit the hunting of another. Yellowstone National Park is posting record attendance numbers – a 2% increase to 3.4 million visitors in 2012. With a projected 65 million international visitors to the USA in 2012 and more in 2013, Yellowstone National Park is the largest international draw in the Northern Rockies region. With three of the five gateways accessed through Montana, the state serves to benefit from this increased traffic. And yet, the North Entrance at Gardiner, the area where zone closures were recently proposed near Yellowstone , there was a 5% loss in visitors in 2012. We suspect the decline in attendance at the Gardiner entrance may relate to the fact that potential visitors are turned off when they learn more aggressive hunting and trapping in the state. So, is Montana killing the largest growing industry in the region – eco/wildlife tourism along with this apex predator? We think so… House Bills 73, 31 and 33 are listed and linked below for your consideration. We ask that you email and/or call the following officials to tell them you oppose these bills because they are anti-science, anti-eco-tourism, and anti-jobs! Montana Governor Bullock: [email protected] and http://governor.mt.gov/contact.aspx Gov.

Now is the time to stand up to our elected officials and say, “enough is enough!” Little is being done to fulfill the wishes of the people. It is time to send a message that shows we are tired of excuses. We want results, and we are holding the city responsible for the lack of substantial development and the development occurring that does not further the ideals and image of the Northern Range of Commerce City. We are holding the director of economic development, the city manager, city council members, and the mayor responsible for their failure to produce results. While we witness other city’s officials proactively seek businesses to fill the gaps of lost business revenue, our city and the elected and appointed officials repeatedly claim it is not their responsibility for seeking out companies. Instead, they place blame upon the developers and others and wait for development to come to them. They also cite as reasons for development failure as the lack of traffic numbers, the economic downturn, and an isolated location. Yet, at the same time in their own economic “flyer,” they cite the benefits of location in this area, the thriving economics of Commerce City, and reveal the massive losses the Northern Range and all of Commerce City faces as a result of patrons seeking business outside the city. Now is the time to take action and seek out quality business establishments that are not only lacking in the Northern and Core City but also the surrounding cities. There is absolutely no reason that with proper planning in infrastructure and business partnerships that we cannot be the beacon of development for surrounding communities and cities. Most importantly, we strongly object to the proposed development of a “truck terminal” as found in the May 2016 development report found at the following website: https://www.c3gov.com/DocumentCenter/View/8187. This truck terminal is proposed to be placed at the southwest corner of 104th Ave and Highway 2. While the lack of development initiative is a problem, the lack of discernment and city planning regarding this issue is of greater concern. *Please note this petition and the complaints contained within are not meant to disparage any great patron of the Commerce City Core or Northern Region or their family members or friends who are licensed CDL drivers. We understand that the residents of this great city are not the ones who are encompassed within the complaints stated forth. Rather, we admonish you for your service and hope that you realize the gravity of the situation of such an establishment. We hope you understand that due to the interconnectedness of CDL driver routes, the activity will more than likely occur from individuals residing beyond the borders of our city and state. It is this interconnectedness that also increases the difficulty of bringing the perpetrators of such actions to justice. A truck terminal carries with it many negatives and produces no positives for the patrons of the Northern Range. The following are the legitimate and established factual complaints: 1) A truck terminal is a known hotbed for licentious criminal activity to include but not limited to the following: illicit drug activity, underage prostitution and sex trafficking, encouragement of prostitution, rape, and murder. It is such a concern that the FBI has its own tracking database for crimes situated around truck terminals and truck drivers. As such, a truck terminal, despite the tremendously rare potential for it to espouse a quality establishment, carries with it too great a risk for increased dangerous criminal activity which would pose a severe threat to the families in the surrounding neighborhoods. 2) Not only will the proposed truck terminal present a threat to the communities surrounding it, it will increase the burden on the Commerce City police force, which is already encumbrances with the upsurge of criminal activity occurring in the Northern Range. Thus, it will not only place the lives of our first responders at greater risk, it carries with it a greater economic burden on the city’s taxpayers to finance a larger police force presence in the area. Moreover, it is doubtful that the potential minimal tax revenue resultant from the truck terminal will subsidize the tax burden faced by the families of the community. 3) In light of the pronounced potential for criminal activity, the truck terminal poses a threat to property values; therefore, the residents will hold the city and its officials liable for any decrease in home values. 4) Due to the potential for decline in home values, the truck terminal will also tarnish the image that was established by the city council, mayor, and others as the Northern Range being a fresh start for Commerce City in so much that the goal is to not produce the same industrial results of other parts of Commerce City but to establish a quality residential and commercial/retail area befitting of a family community. 5) Due to poo...

OBJECTIVES: 1) Recognizing the necessity of a re-write of The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) including thorough constitutional review of all operable amendments, definitions and procedures tightening, closing loop-holes, establishing of multi-level oversights, etc., we currently call for the Elimination of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) as in violation of the US Constitution Article III, Sections 1 and 2, for creating secret law, for acting as a non-inferior Federal Court, for a history of US agencies’ non-compliant practices and for allowing actions taken with Section 702 collected data, e.g., parallel construction, in violation of the Fourth Amendment and Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) . 2) Delete all stored Intelligence Community (IC) communication records of US persons other than those obtained by specific warrants on specifically named individuals in full compliance with the Fourth Amendment and Article III of the Constitution. There shall be no mass surveillance records maintained on any US persons nor any surveillance records of any US person other than obtained in strict compliance with the Fourth Amendment. ===================================== BACKGROUND The FISC and secret law Upon learning that the FISC had been interpreting federal statutes and our Constitution in secret, Congress passed the USA FREEDOM Act of 2015, Public Law No: 114-23, Sec. 402. Declassification of decisions, orders, and opinions. Section 402 mandated that “... a declassification review of each decision, order, or opinion issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court [FISC] or the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review [FISCR] ... that includes a significant construction or interpretation of any provision of law, ... make publicly available to the greatest extent practicable each such decision, order, or opinion.” Despite the above law specifically ordering “... a declassification review of each decision, order, or opinion issued ...”, DoJ attorneys have refused to disclose any of the FISC significant opinions/rulings which occurred between 911 and the date of the USA Freedom Act, their position being that the law is not retroactive. That’s a period of secret laws, interpreting federal statutes and our Constitution, spanning about fourteen years and which are relevant to a wide range of surveillance activities. There is no place either within the spirit of our Constitution or its wording to allow any federal court to issue findings held in secret from the very citizens for whom our federal government exists to serve. The FISC operates in violation of the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment. Fourth Amendment (underlining added): The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. On January 17, 2014, Obama directed that “The results of any [FISC approved] query are limited to metadata within two hops of the selection term [for instance name or SIM card] being used” and February 5, 2014, the FISC approved of this limitation. One hop away would be to the next set of direct links, persons, entities, etc., directly connected to the original two people of the captured communication. The second hop would allow picking up all communications from everyone with whom the first hop communicated. Hence, this chain of expansion allows the capturing and storage of communications of vast numbers of US persons, without any warrants being issued, i.e., all violation of the Fourth Amendment. What makes this two hop rule even more destructive is that if one of the hops is to a government agency or for instance Google, then two hops is sufficient to include over a billion people with no warrants issued. The new FISA Amendments Reauthorization Act of 2017 continues for six years the complete violation of every element of our Fourth Amendment. It does so by allowing the continuing collection of the private communications, e.g., telephone, emails, text messages, etc. of a US person when he or she communicates with a foreign target and warrantless collections of all other US persons within two hops. By this legislation the government bypasses all Fourth Amendment requirements of obtaining a warrant from a judge, including naming the US person, demonstrating to the judge probable cause that the US person has committed a crime, and specifying exactly what information is wanted and where it is to be collected. The Parallel Construction violation of both Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and the Fourth Amendment. Section 702 of the FISA allows the NSA to collect foreign intelligence from non-Ame...
