As I continue to assimulate information I have become an astute observer. It is important that my explaination in this movement remain lucid for the people so that they not lose interest in egalitarian even when such intrests interfere with their own interests. I continue to remain deference to others so they may transend beyond their own cases. One of the most important tenets of our movement is that that the people feel they can permeate the knowledge they have gained.
My choice of words were chosen to explain that a simple person may not completely understand what I am saying. I raise this issue as I see some who use words that show their intellagence but does nothing for the people if people do not understand what is being said. When you want to get your point across please keep it simple.

An American Parent
I live here in New Hampshire. I have called, faxed and emailed asking them to support / sponsor the Parental Rights Amendment. All I got was a couple of KISS OFF LETTERS. So I think it is important to acknowledge their failure to sponsor / support this amendment. YES I will call them out on it. What an embarrassment to the citizens of New Hampshire.
Senator Judd Gregg (R- NH) 202-224-3324
Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D- NH) 202-224-2841
Representative Carol Shea-Porter (D - 01) 202-225-5456
Representative Paul Hodes, II (D - 02) 202-225-5206
Let your voice be heard. You can not be silent on this issue.

Law the court failed to follow
M.G.L. Modification of judgment as to care and custody of minor children; temporary orders
http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/215-6c.htm
I am very aware of this law and citied it in court and within my filings on many occasions. The sad truth in Massachusetts is Judges just don't care about the laws. Failure to notify a parent who had joint custody or hold a hearing within the five days required by law demonstrates their lack of respect of the laws. I just call them as I see them as nothing was done to correct this error and by their failure cost me my rights to my son Zachary.

“No Jail for being a Dad” -ACTION ALERT F4J
It is time for the united front of Fathers-4-Justice and all of its supporters to inform Prosecuting Attorney, Ron O'Brian, and his staff that we do not agree with his “Nifong” type application of the law in the cases, “ Ohio vs. Paul Fisher” aka Superman and “ Ohio vs. Donald Tenn” aka Spiderman.
Full story here
“No Jail for being a Dad”
It has been asked that you call
(614) 462-3555 and ask for Ron O'Brian between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM eastern time. If he is unavailable, leave a message and request a return call.
As always, be polite and courteous. With the volume of calls expected, you will most likely be talking to over-worked secretaries, please be considerate.
Our message is simple:
Inform them that you will be watching these cases, and that you will be notifying other public officials of your disapproval of the conduct of Ron O’Brian’s administration. Also, state that you are displeased with the severity of the charges and feel this entire charade is wasting taxpayer dollars. It is self-evident that there was no malice or intent to cause harm. The demonstration was peaceful and brought much needed attention to government policies that are harming America 's families and children.
If you do not receive a return call, please call everyday until you do, or until the verdict has been reached on April 13th.

Courthouse missing trial tapes

Missing trial tapes spawn an impasse
Stenographer denies she has themBy Jonathan Saltzman Globe Staff / March 5, 2009
When they do their jobs right, court stenographers attract little attention. They tap quietly on a shorthand machine at more than 200 words a minute to make a record of testimony or repeat verbatim everything said in court into a tape recorder. But among the cast of characters, they seldom play a starring role.Jeanne Lentini, however, is getting a close-up, and not a flattering one. After working in the state courts under contract for eight years, she left Massachusetts in the spring of 2007 with tape recordings she made of 17 criminal and civil trials, court officials said. Despite demands to provide transcripts or return the tapes, which belong to the state, the officials said, she has sent back only seven recordings and some blank tapes.Transcripts are the lifeblood of the appeal process, so the missing tapes have stymied litigants in 10 criminal and civil cases, preventing them from challenging the verdicts. The individuals range from a former State Police sergeant convicted in 2006 of stealing cocaine from his department's drug unit to a 68-year-old Newton man who lost a malpractice lawsuit against a urologist at Massachusetts General Hospital.Lentini, 60, could soon be facing her own legal problems, although she insists she has sent the tapes back and has done nothing wrong.Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, whose office represents the trial courts in legal matters, wrote Lentini last summer demanding she return all the tapes. Coakley is "currently reviewing the matter" be cause of Lentini's failure to comply, a spokeswoman for the AG said yesterday. And a judge has ordered Lentini to attend a March 26 court hearing to explain why she should not be held in contempt - and face possible criminal charges - for disobeying court orders to return the tapes.Lawyers involved in the untranscribed trials are also taking action. The appellate attorney for the convicted state trooper asked a Norfolk Superior Court judge yesterday to free her client from prison on bail because 2 1/2 years have passed since she requested the transcript."This case is more than just a mere delay," Rosemary C. Scapicchio, the Boston lawyer for the former trooper, Timothy White, said in the motion filed in court. "It is a 30-month delay, and it appears that the missing transcript will never be produced." The judge has referred the request to a colleague on the bench.Court reporters convert their stenographic notes or tape recordings into transcripts and provide them to lawyers, who typically pay $3 a page.Lentini, who lives in Virginia Beach, Va., said yesterday that she has returned all the tapes sought by the courts and is baffled and irritated by claims to the contrary."I thought this was taken care of," she said in a telephone interview. "I sent them all back. I did that last summer."She said further that the court system treated so-called per diem, or contracted, court reporters with such little respect that she plans to send to the state all the tapes she saved from other trials she worked on since 1999 - hundreds of recordings - and reverse the postal charges. Contracted court reporters are authorized to keep recordings from trials for which they prepared transcripts, she said.Lentini said she has no intention of returning to Massachusetts for the court hearing about whether she should be held in contempt.The unusual dispute hardly marks the first time court reporters in Massachusetts have come under fire. In 2003, a committee of judges and lawyers appointed by the state Supreme Judicial Court issued a blistering report saying Massachusetts ranked among the worst states in providing timely, accurate transcripts.The median time for a transcript to be delivered for appeals in criminal cases was 300 days and 141 days in civil cases. The committee headed by Appeals Court Judge Mark V. Green faulted "inadequate resources, systemic inefficiencies, and a lack of effective management."But the allegations against Lentini are extraordinary, say court officials and lawyers involved, because she is thought to have deliberately ignored demands to provide transcripts or return the tapes so that another court reporter can prepare them.In some instances, Lentini was one of several court reporters on a case; the other reporters have provided transcripts for the testimony they heard."These transcripts can't be produced without these tapes being returned," said Joan Kenney, a spokeswoman for the judiciary.Among those who say they cannot file an appeal is William Singer, a Newton man who has been trying to challenge a 2006 verdict in Middlesex Superior Court in favor of a urologist he sued for alleged medical malpractice. Singer said he underwent surgery for a kidney stone but was left with severe blood clots in his legs.He said he paid Lentini $720 three years ago to prepare a transcript and is still waiting. Court officials have told him it might be possible to reconstruct a transcript based on the recollections of lawyers and litigants, but "that's asking people to try and remember what transpired three years ago," he said."The evidence is gone," he added, "and I think I'm entitled to a new trial."Saltzman can be reached at jsaltzman@globe.com.

Massachusetts Clerk gets screwed in court
http://www.boston. com/news/ local/breaking_ news/2009/ 02/chelsea_ court_o.html
Chelsea, Mass. court official allegedly had sex in courtroom; get screwed BY court, get SCREWED IN COURT!!!February 27, 2009 12:50 PM Email Comments (0) Text size + By Shelley Murphy, Globe StaffAn assistant clerk at the Chelsea District Court was arrested by the FBI this morning on charges that he had sex with an accused prostitute in an empty courtroom while promising to help get a charge against her dismissed.James "Jim" Burke, 41, of Chelsea, made a brief appearance this morning before US Magistrate Judge Timothy S. Hillman, who released him on $10,000 unsecured bond and ordered him to return to federal court March 26 for a probable cause hearing."It's a perversion of the legal system and a gross abuse of power,'' said Assistant US Attorney Brian T. Kelly, head of the US attorney's public corruption unit.The accused prostitute was in the Chelsea court with her lawyer in December trying to get prostitution charges dismissed when she saw Burke and confided to her lawyer that Burke had approached her when she was in the lockup at the courthouse on similar charges in February 2005 and offered to get her case dismissed if she provided sex, according to an FBI affidavit filed in federal court.The woman said Burke took her into a courtroom, where she performed oral sex on him.After her lawyer alerted the FBI, the woman began cooperating with agents and secretly recorded conversations with Burke, who allegedly acknowledged their earlier sexual encounter and offered to help her get the new charges dismissed if she helped him again, the affidavit says. During a call that was secretly recorded by the FBI on Dec. 8, Burke said they were able to have sex in the courtroom three years [ 2005] earlier "because it was late in the day and the only judge left was not going to go downstairs,' ' the affidavit said.Burke asked the woman if she thought it was "hot" that they had sex in a courtroom and told her, "It's good because it's like it's so bad,'' the affidavit said.Burke also said that there was another room in the courthouse where he had been with someone else, "just hookin' up,'' but he was upset because that person later told someone about the encounter.During a secretly recorded meeting at the court on Dec. 18, Burke, who claimed to have spoken to the district attorney's office, told the woman that she was "all set'' and had gotten off too easy. He suggested they "do it right now,'' but the woman declined.
