14th Amendment, U. S. Constitution - Rights, Privileges, DUE PROCESS

14th Amendment
CITY CENTER MILWAUKEE |  DAY 94  | Today, Wednesday, July 9, 2014 marks the 146 year of ratification of the 14th Amendment.
=======================

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States,” which included former slaves recently freed. In addition, it forbids states from denying any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868.
By directly mentioning the role of the states, the 14th Amendment greatly expanded the protection of civil rights to all Americans and is cited in more litigation than any other amendment.

FROM:  Mary Glass - Citizen, on Behalf of the People 

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

It is this day, Wednesday, July 9, 2014, that Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC, Day 94, of the 4-Month Invoked Atonement and Reparation Assessment (April 7, 2014 - August 31, 2014) in the city of Milwaukee; there is a Call for ELECTED-APPOINTED-HIRED individuals to be noticed of their obligation - an Oath and fiduciary responsibility to the U. S. Constitution to immediately be engaged in ensuring that where African American and other citizenry are being denied their rights and privileges due to lack of due process and laws of the State of Wisconsin, immediate and ongoing special hearings are held to correct wrongs.  The first issue we bring is the indescribable Incarceration Rate of African Americans in Milwaukee and zip code 53206.

WAR ON INCARCERATION w/out Merits
On July 8, 2014, MPA LLC released it post on 

MPA LLC War on Incarceration w/out Merit

- July 8, 2014 - July 8, 2016  Click


It is the irresponsibility of laws for "drug use" and "drug trading" coupled with violent crimes, it is the undoing of the "misdeamenor" vs "felony" branding, the way of enforcement of the laws in a racial bias manner; and, arbitrarily and capriciously profiling and victimizing African Americans, that MPA LLC brings to elected and appointed officials for immediate address. 

The obsession of drugs related to everything has gummed the system.  
Those who sold the Truth and Sentencing laws hoodwinked the People into thinking that "massive incarceration" was the way to lessen crime and cure of violence.  
Guess what?  Not.  

Now they and all of us are stuck (until revisited with critical difference and up-to-date changes) with over-crowded prisons, prisons' cost outweighing other quality of life issues so badly needed; i.e., education.

Then there are the small towns that are primarily Caucasians have been shown how they would make significant dollars by hosting the build-out space of mega prisons.  The prison would bring tax dollars and build the economy with improve labor from the town.  Well, that is to a point.  Some of the small towns got stiffed when the prison was built and "no prisoners" came.

Money Laundering and Pharmacy
The latest news is the REAL drug penetration in the suburbs by Caucasians with marijuana, heroin and cocaine on the rise.  What is also being seen, is growing overdoses that led to deaths - increasing numbers of Caucasian boys - young adults.  Whoa.

Common Council President Michael Murphy makes our point of the movement when it affects Caucasian vs African Americans and People of Color.

"Because of the seriousness of the heroin epidemic, and the fact that its harmful effects are now experienced throughout the Milwaukee area, we believe that all communities in the region need to unite to tackle the problem together," Murphy's letter stated.  Jsonline, Don Walker, February 14, 2014.


DRUG SUMMIT
Murphy pulled together a summit in NO TIME - He was just sworn in as Common Council President on February 11, 2014, the summit was held on:  June 4, 2014.  Murphy was able to get funding, location and Leaders from five southeastern Wisconsin to meet with health professionals and law enforcement officials to tackle heroin head-on.

When we look at the audience scan, where is the majority population - African American and People of Color - Milwaukeeans.

Fear has come on the scene.  Where there has been cover-up, denial and pretense, there is, "What are we going to do"?  Drugs have no boundaries.

In the meantime, our observation assessment and the last 20 years in John Pawasarat and Lois Quinn, University of WI - Milwaukee assessment show over 20,000 African American males being incarcerated and over 20, 000 victimized with frivolous acts that carry misdemeanor crime of jail.

Victimizing falls primarily in seven (7) areas for starters.  They are:
  1. Punishment that did not fit the offense or alleged offenses.
  2. Lack of quality of life and economic development.
  3. Lack of gainful employment (access-family-supporting-wages-entrepreneurship).
  4. Family structure - Dysfunctional and/or decimated. 
  5. Exposure and forced existence in risky and violent environments for survival.
  6. Lack of emotional-physical-mental well-being support due to long-term depravation.
  7. Brutality, excessive force, profiling, killings and murders by law enforcement officers in Milwaukee.
Since the incarceration rates of African American males are so indescribably high in Wisconsin; we know that the number is mostly due to violations of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the 14th Amendment and  the 13th Amendment - involuntary servitude (un- and under-employment) of African Americans.

We seek underwritten forums for dialog and problem solving - engagement with Milwaukeeans, individuals that have been incarcerated, law enforcers (including judges), members of health related services, media, Fire and Police commission, Department of Transportation and elected officials of all levels.

A thorough review with immediate hearings for removal of unjust laws (local, county and state) like parking tickets that contribute to incarceration, Truth and Sentencing, misuse of pleading Chapter 802 (pleadings replacing due process), stacking of misdemeanors to create felonies, parole terms and stipulations that are too long, not rehabilitative and do not fit the crime.  We seek 21st Century rulings that merit in justice of "crime fitting the punishment".

We specifically place the Petrie Dish,  zip code of 53206 as Ground Zero for change.

Do this day, on July 9, 2014, Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC being a born citizen of the United States of America and reside in Wisconsin, due hereby make this decry against the Epidemic of Incarceration of African Americans, African American males in zip code 53206 (Milwaukee).

Wisconsin’s Mass Incarceration 
of African American Males: 

Workforce Challenges for 2013 
Prepared by John Pawasarat and Lois M. Quinn 
Employment and Training Institute 
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 
2013 

This report uses two decades of state Department of Corrections (DOC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) files to assess employment and training barriers facing African American men with a history of DOC offenses and DOT violations. The report focuses on 26,222 African American males from Milwaukee County incarcerated in state correctional facilities from 1990 to 2012 (including a third with only non-violent crimes) and another 27,874 men with DOT violations preventing them from legally driving (many for failures to pay fines and civil forfeitures).

Prison time is the most serious barrier to employment, making ex-offender populations the most difficult to place and sustain in full-time employment. When DOT driver’s licensing history is also considered, transportation barriers make successful labor force attachment even less likely. Yet, most of the recent state policy discussions about preparing the Wisconsin workforce and debates over redistribution of government job training dollars have largely ignored African American men and relegated ex-offender populations to a minor (if not invisible) place in Wisconsin’s labor force.

Further observations

We feel a lack of economic access, enduring concentrated poverty, brutal and in-humane treatment; and, the disenfranchisement of due process to quality of life and economic issues have contributed overwhelmingly to horrific numbers of African American males being sent to prisons.

Do you know at one time, not many years back, we had African Americans from Milwaukee housed in Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin prisons?  What was that about?

We seek accountability.
We seek your immediate attention.
We seek solutions.
We seek leadership from your offices - NOW.

We want each branch of government - legislative, executive  and judicial - to address this epidemic over the next 3 months for starters.  

Forensic Spotlight
We expect "special meetings" and "hearings with the people" - those incarcerated, their significant others, other family members, their children.

We expect quality of life providers - education-employment-housing-medical-voting privileges-working as poll workers and employment support after incarceration to be at the top of the discussion.

We expect a thorough review of "parole" guidelines for nuisance and harassing measures.

We expect a strict review with root-cause changes in behavior of those we have hired and will hire as law enforcers.

We expect RESPECT-4-RESPECT from those we pay salaries and represent our government as law enforces.  

We expect swift (with law and enforcement of law) actions to discipline and commence removal of those law enforcers that are caught profiling-using excessive force-bruatalizing-discharging of weapons and killing and murdering of the citizenry in Milwaukee.


We expect the laws to be clear and concise when it comes to the training of law enforcers.

We expect the laws of punishment of law enforcers to be clear and concise so as to not cause "any" misconception or promotion of misuse of firearms and the use of excessive and deadly force when dealing with a human being.  Zero tolerance.  

The laws must have a continual visit for betterment - with immediate actions when there is the appearance of misuse and deadly force by law enforcers.

We expect our legislators to insert those in protected class (usually first violated) as a precaution to make sure that the jurisdiction they represent is included in writing the law; and, so it is clear and concise regarding law enforcers use of firearms, excessive force and deadly force  when dealing with a human being.

We have a culture that is contaminated with "racial" ABUSE, MISUSE of fireams, excessive force, and lack of standards when apprehending and arresting African American and People of Color that must change now.

Strong and rigorous Stewardship by the People for the enforcement of transparency, accountability and punishment of law enforcers and decision makers in positions of authority that fail to enforce the law and found to be obstructing justice is tantamount to everyone's safety - this includes the weight of "hate crime" review when dealing with rogue officers, law enforcement officers that engage in patterns of discrimination, bruality and exploitation of African American and others relative to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Amendment 13 and Amendment 14th.
