THE VI AMENDMENT - Derwyn Bunton, Defenseless

Derwyn Bunton - Chief Public Defender - New Orleans
A lawyer poorly resourced can cause irreparable harm to a client,” says Chief NOLA Public Defender Derwyn Bunton.
**************************************

“You do your best, but a lot of times you can’t provide the kind of representation that the Constitution, our code of ethics and professional standards would have you provide.” Derwyn Bunton


Derwyn Bunton has been head of the New Orleans Public Defenders’ office for the last eight years. The 52 lawyers on his staff are responsible for representing more than 20,000 people a year who are unable to afford a private attorney.

You know feeling like you’re always coming up short. Um, you know, the first 1,000 clients, you feel terrible. The second 1,000 clients, you feel awful. The third 1,000, 3,000 in, it doesn’t feel so bad anymore. One morning I woke up and I just felt like, “I’m not even angry about this anymore.” It’s just everyday to me. Everyday my clients are going away for a decade. And I just move along to the next client.
Nine current and former New Orleans public defenders admit they do not have the time or the budget to adequately represent every client.
CBS NEWS

Lindsay Samuel was an ex-Public Defender attorney in the office of Public Defender Chief Bunton. 

She said 3000 cases in.  These are 3000 human beings with civil and legal rights on paper.  In law.  In Amendment VI of the Constitution. 

Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

In order for there to be DEMOCRACY (a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections) and SANCTUARY (safety,  a place of refuge and protection) each one of the OWNERS of America must subscribe to the laws that protect its people in America.

RON JOHNSON - Senator from Wisconsin is a FRAUD, A CHARLATAN

Ron Johnson - WI Republican Senator 
Saying one thing, doing another to get moral points.  We see thru the con.
Ron Johnson, Republican Senator of Wisconsin, LESS THAN integrity, false rhetoric and disingenuous narrative to give unwise Wisconsinites, the public at-large, and Chuck Todd on Meet the Press he is in favor of discussions of the Affordable Healthcare to solve the issues with the backroom plan by Mitch McConnell and the 13 misfit group.  

That’s not what he has been saying.  
It is not what he said while running for office.  
His lines have been drawn on, REPEAL, REPEAL Obamacare.  Period.  

He has put himself on the "NOT YET LIST” to pass the Senate bill.  
It is a ploy.  

If Johnson was legitimate, his comments would say he’s not voting "yes" until there are full discussions and necessary changes on behalf of Wisconsinites and the people of America.  Not the bull that the Affordable Healthcare is falling under its weight.  It is weight with the heavy foot of the Republicans on the scale.

If he and his Republican cronies had joined the other U.S. Congress persons to correct the “risk corridor” in the insurance care and provided the Insurance companies with a path forward rather than no response, the Insurance companies, and premiums would have a path forward for serious agreements.  They are using the 2-year wait after the REPEAL to give the impression that things will not change.  

Not true.
They are lying about the pre-existing risk.  
They are lying about NOT increasing insurance cost.
The seniors in nursing homes will NOT have funding.  
Women will not have reliable prevention care. 
Over 23 million folks will fall through the cracks for needed healthcare.
The McConnel and gang of 13 plan have a cap on payments (the present Affordable Healthcare does not).  Each person will be given a certain amount, if you exceed the amount, too bad.  You are on your own.

He’s full of it.  Watch how fast he votes this week with all the others.
He’s a charlatan (a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.).
If you believe the charlatan, go jump off the nearest bridge to never return.  Take Paul Ryan with you.

The “double talking” of Ron Johnson, represents the clueless senior senator that is a Republican from Wisconsin with the high-risk talking points. 

He likes to call on the fact he’s from Oshkosh, WI from the manufacturing industry as an accountant of compassion - with great concern of leaving something for our children’s future.  

Earth to clueless Ron Johnson, the children will most likely be healthcare dependent seeking high-cost emergency hospital care, drug-dependent without serious preventive healthcare AND dead, dead.

Stop the violence, Johnson!

Enslavement through Social Controls and Oppression in the City of Milwaukee - Part I


June 22, 2017
CITY OF MILWAUKEE | Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC continues in its public policy leadership quest to provide state of the art information for Informed Decision-Making by Milwaukeeans, the Core Constituents.

CORE CONSTITUENTS are the people who live, work, invest in real estate, grow families, grow businesses, worship and create the population of authority within the 96.8 square miles of the city of Milwaukee.

Social Controls and oppression by elected-appointed-hired and donor for hire has gone viral and African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenged residential and commercial stakeholders are the target. 


Background

For the last 12 years, the economic face of Milwaukee has ruthlessly been changed without the inclusion and permission of the population of authority in Milwaukee.  It is clear that the have-nots were more and more marginalized.
Some notables are:
  • The mayor of Milwaukee has engaged in wrongful "outsourcing" of the city coffers without authorization from the citizenry of Milwaukee.
  • The mayor, Tom Barrett, has helped form and reinforce the Milwaukee 7 and the board of MEDC/Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation and gave the GO LIGHT to disenfranchisement of the majority population of Milwaukee.
  • Laws and authorities have been formed by/for Caucasian groups.
  • The use of funding aimed for African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenged seized:
    • tax credits.
    • a 30-year Involuntary Servitude of MEGA commitment to the Milwaukee Bucks.
    • MEGA developments by neophte developer Rick Barrett tied to transportation.
    • MEGA discriminatory Bublr Bike deal.
    • Unnecessary East/West BRT and streetcar.
    • MCTS Removal of Route 279 and failure to connect employment of Milwaukeeans by public transportation.
    • MCTS Reneged and HALT to Go Pass - 2019 BROKEN promise for seniors, disabled and low/no income.
    • Earmarks meant to "empower" low-income citizenry and census tracts of poverty.   
In 2005, Tom Barrett - mayor of Milwaukee and Milwaukee 7, co-led by Gale Klappa - We Energies, created a monopoly-oligopoly enterprise made up of Caucasians only that is a platform for mega dollar economic development using the largest urban city, its land mass, federal resources and its population. 

The city of Milwaukee comes with the largest population, huge "land-riched real estate", tax credits, development packaging, housing funding, tax increment financing, special EB-5 and foreign investments, Department of Labor support, HUD support, Department of Transortation, WHEDA and other financing on the backs of and federal empowerment resources earmarked for African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenged of the city of Milwaukee.  

African American, other People of Color and Work Challenged citizenry make up over 3/4 of the population of Milwaukee.

Milwaukee 7

Milwaukee 7 is made up of Caucasian leaders of 7 counties (Kenosha, Milwaukee, OzaukeeRacineWalworth, Washington, and Waukesha) in southeastern Wisconsin.

Milwaukee 7 was/is operated through Caucasian corporations led by Tim Sheehy, Executive Director, Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce and its staff.

Milwaukee 7 is made up of Caucasian leaders of the Greater Milwaukee Committee.

The GMC/Greater Milwaukee Committee made up of primarily Caucasians that were/are selected members of community organizations, philanthropic organizations, law firms, real estate barons, colleges, and universities, i.e., UW-M, Marquette, MSOE, Alverno and Cardinal Stritch. 

Milwaukee 7 formed an alliance that barred African-American, other People of Color and the Work Challenged from its decision-making, planning, and governance.  

Willie Hines, ex-Common Council President at Milwaukee 7 gathering 
Figurehead, Willie Hines (ex-Common Council President) became the poster card for African American involvement - ZERO, a sellout.

Social Controls and Enslavement
Part II - Enslavement through Social Controls and Oppression will address four documented processes called GIMS.   They are:
  • Gentrification 
  • Involuntary Servitude
  • Monopoly-Oligopoly
  • Subjugation
The above four enslavement tactics are Caucasian-based governed by Lutheran-Catholic-Jewish and James Company non-profits.

The take-over and control started downtown and it has creeped to Amani, WAICO/Y, Midtown, Sherman Park, Williamsburg Heights/United Community, and Harambee.  The census tracts neighborhoods  are in Districts 6 -- Milele Coggs - Alderwoman, District 7 - Khalif Rainey - Alderman, District 10 - Michael Murphy - Alderman, and District 15 - Russell Stamper - Alderman for starters.

You can see the original Caucasian contributors, donations as high as $1 million by We Energies.

The legal formation of Monopoly-Oligopoly.
============

We the People must NEVER give up our legal-human-civil rights by failing to STAND UP with a STRAIGHT BACK and speak to power of all kind.   We must remember from WHENCE we come and the millions who have died, have suffered and died, for our marriage with FREEDOM.                    Mary Glass 6-22-17

FATHER DAY REMEMBRANCE - Father Philando Castile

Philando Castile - 32 years, died July 6, 2016
The officer that killed/murdered him was acquitted of Manslaughter - ALL counts.
Below, his mother, Valarie Castile speaks to the INJUSTICE.



===============

This is why YOU must be REGISTERED correctly and READY to vote for a candidate you choose to examine profile, call for transparency and accountability of those in office (federal to local government representative).

To beam in on legislation that "disallow" the present murder format by officers - rogue or otherwise.  The prima facie point is Black Lives like all of the privilege matters.  

We, the People, must lawyer-up, tactical plan, write, encourage, persuade, become an elected officer - look at the 2018 positions on the down ballots and roll up your sleeve for putting the right laws on the books with enforcement.  

This includes contacting Tom Barrett, the mayor and Ashanti Hamilton, Common Council President for review/updated committees, bureaus, boards and authorities that are stagnant and clogged with career appointees that have not a clue and VOTING against you.

To just get angry and do not FRAME the results for better outcomes, we will continue to see the Ms. Valeries' grieve and most of all bury their/your sons - children.

To just get angry and FAIL to know who the members of your executive, legislative and judicial representatives are for starters is asking for even more insensitivity and instances that say "African American lives do not count".

To just get angry or NOT get angered due to NUMBNESS, you must come out of the stupor and chart your course for RUNNING FOR OFFICE and WINNING with outreach, organizing and clear due diligence.

SILENCE is Not an option because NO Black is Exempt.
Also, as Ms. Valerie said, it is her son today, but they are coming for you, especially the children of mixed races.

We have been warned.
What say you?

Tomorrow is JUNETEENTH.  We will announce our next ACTION STEP.  We hope you join us.

Happy Father's Day to ALL Dads - FATHER, GRANDFATHER, UNCLE, BROTHER, FOSTER, INCARCERATED, GAY and STEPFATHER

Remember Our Pot Lifers This Fathers Day!!!


This Father’s Day, please pause to reflect upon the fathers in prison or those who might be a father, if they were not in prison.  It’s time to bring our POWs home.  Life for pot is a disgrace upon the principles in which this country was founded.  We are supposed to be intelligent humanitarians. Let's encourage our leaders to act like it.                                   Can-Do Foundation
