Another Jail death!
Richard Haws, 29 years old, sadly, died from
injuries in a Marion County Jail fight. He was in jail on a
questionable charge to begin with -- a State Police Dispatcher accused
Richard of Menacing and Road Rage. Richard claimed the Dispatcher
Menaced him driving very close, bumping his rear bumper, pulling ahead and
then slamming on his brakes, terrorizing behavior. Richard finally
pulled over on the shoulder and parked. Then he was arrested. It
was his word against the Dispatcher's. The Dispatcher was believed.

THE ELUSIVE TRUTH: The Obama
administration tells the $862 billion in Stimulus money has created 3
million jobs. In reality about 250,000 government jobs have been
created. "Well, they're jobs, aren't they?" is their quick reply. At
about $ 400,000. a job!

A California federal Judge, David
Carter, a former Marine, has set a date to hear citizens request Obama
produce his birth certificate! January 26, 2010.
The result:
*the Judge kicked the question on to the
Supreme Court since Obama set himself above the law and did not respond, . The
Court
decided not to hear this!

SARAH FOR PRES IN 2012?
GO GIRL!

SARAH 2012. over and over. When asked if she would accept and
run for the White House, she said she'd do whatever the people wanted and
with the support and approval of her family. .

OREGON PAROLE BOARD: A
concerned citizen asks, "Who is in charge?-- member Darcy Baker?" She has
been on the Board since 2004. The citizen tells us that John Torkleson,
who has been in prison more than 20 years has been before the Board multiple
times requesting Parole and has been denied multiple times.
Essentially because, according to the strident voice of Ms Baker, "he is
screwed up." Is she a psychologist? No. Does a psychologist say
he is screwed up? No. To the contrary a psychologist says he is good
to be Paroled. So we ask Ms Baker to clearly tell us
why Mr Torkleson is "screwed up?" And also why the two other Board
members permit her to make this decision? Thank Goodness the Parole
Board is almost history.

CURRENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
MANDATORY SENTENCES
Oregon's Supreme Court has
suggested M11 sentences for some crimes are too long. The Justice Dept. is
preparing to review sentences which a defense attorney requests them to do.
A spokesman said, "There won't be many." How so?
Because a pro se request won't be considered? Tell us this is not so
Mr. Kroger.

A reader asks, "Is it a
conflict of interest for a Legislator to also be a practicing attorney?
Apparently not as there is 1 in the Senate and 4 in the House.

If you have problems with prison library services, please
contact Randy Geer, Chief of Inmate Services, 503 945 0927.. He tells
us they have subscribed to a new legal service which will be better.
It will be available early in 2010. Sadly we cannot afford a fully
qualified legal librarian for any of the 14 prisons. So hopefully this
new service will help to provide good service.

STIMULUS: Will Obama's
$800+ billion $ spending spree create jobs? So far, mostly just some gov. ones.
Oregon, for instance, promptly applied their portion to reduce our debt.
Not for jobs.
***
Can we spend our way out of a deep, deep
hole? With borrowed money yet! In fact, when has government ever been a stimulus?
It seems more government makes us more dependent on government -- Socialism?
And when has that been successful?
***
No ridiculous spending sticks to this
mesmerist talker, Obama -- yet. So far he's managed to cleverly blame Dubya for every short coming, but soon he will own results.
***
Ownership is about to stick. The
politically correct loons have so intimidated even the military that they
sat back and just watched the massacre build which occurred at Fort Hood,
Texas recently. Some really far left loons piped up once or maybe
twice trying to get some traction to justify the massacre saying the poor perp was so misunderstood and abused. Imagine that! But they now at
least have charged him with 13 murders. Spending more money for a
circus trial?
***
But the loons are still going. Obama
absurdly announced on day one in office he was closing Gitmo by the first of
2010. So now they're trying to find some way to do that. They've
come up with a scary decision -- bring them to New York, where their
horrendous 9/11 crime occurred and give them all the rights of a U.S.
citizen in court i.e. Were those captured on the battle field given their Miranda Rights? Were
they properly charged? Will they ever be tried? If
this happens they will
most certainly be provided a world stage to blame the U.S.A.for something.

GOING ROUGE,Sarah's autobiography, is in
bookstores and a run away best seller. An interesting, worthwhile
read.
***
One suggestion recently aired is to
starve the federal government; do away
with the 16th Amendment, which gives the feds the right to tax and return
that power to the States where it was originally.

Maybe
Americans aren't quite as corrupt as in the rest
of the world, but what is different is here in
the U.S. dissenters can say what they think
without bring put in prison or beheaded.
