President Obama has dropped his $5 donation request to $3


Death penalty Deters and his GANG that includes Democrat chair Tim Burke and that nasty blogger HCRP chair Alex Triatianfilou are up to their old tricks with the status quo rag paper.   We MUST fight this injustice that they are trying to hand down.  Please check this blog tomorrow for an article and for contact numbers for phone activist to contact governor and secretary of state.

 Check this blog for tomm for an article on this subject.  WE WON'T SLEEP UNTIL THAT CORRUPT PROSECUTOR AND THE OTHER GANG MEMBERS ARE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.   No just-us, no peace.


PROSECUTOR & POWER (Deters must Go!)
Dear Great Bloggers --

It will come as no surprise to anyone who has been indicted that prosecutors have enormous power. Yesterday, the New York Times ran an excellent article that highlighted this unintended consequence of mandatory minimums.

The article notes that one result of the increase in prosecutorial power is the so-called “trial penalty.” Defendants are offered relatively shorter sentences in exchange for a guilty plea, or they face significantly longer penalties if they maintain their innocence and exercise their constitutionally-protected right to a trial by jury. Unfortunately, this “choice” is one far too many FAMM members are familiar with.

Among them is FAMM member Lee Wollard, whose case we gave to the New York Times reporter. Wollard’s decision to take his case to trial resulted in a 20-year mandatory minimum prison sentence under Florida’s “10-20-Life” law, even though prosecutors originally offered him five years probation if he would plead guilty. You can read about Wollard’s case here and read an op-ed I wrote about it last summer for the Washington Times here.

Circulate this New York Times article widely - everyone in the country should read it!
My best,



Julie



Julie Stewart

President

And Justice For All....HUH!

It’s a lovely Sunday in Cincinnati. It really is. And through our bedroom window, we can hear the birds chirping. If we didn’t know any better, but we most certainly do, that despite the view from our window of the big tree with the leaves that are turning, and the sweet melody of the birds chirping– we would think Cincinnati was absolutely perfect.


It’s not the Reverend Doc Foster refers to Cincinnati as,  the Northern capital of the racist south.” And I really hope that we bloggers havent   screwed up the good Reverend’s quote.

And I know some of you really decent Black &White  men, have wrote to this blog and asked that we use better language, stop the cursing, yeah well we’re kinda working on it. We replaced the word "fucked" with "screwed."

But Cincinnati is really racist. How racist is it? Cincinnati is so racist that there has to be a fucking summit on racism to tell us that Cincinnati is racist.



Quite sure the organizers wouldn’t appreciate this blog defining its event, they might call it something else Something else, like well – Justice for All.

But this blog we will call a duck a duck.

The organizers (diverse group of clergy), of this event were interviewed on the Bishop Bobby Hilton radio show which airs on WDBZ the Buzz. Us Bloggers, we are familiar with many of them,  and they are good men.

When one of the clergy was asked why have this summit, why got involved? He responded with a quote from Amos 5:24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

Uh, yeah, this is Cincinnati. The Northern capital of Joe Deters. Check the flyer; it’s going to be a great event. Don’t let this blog post upset you. Feeling a little blue.

And Justice for All……

Openly Gay Council hopeful irks blacks (article)...and so does Deters

This blog is a business and don't you forget it. Haters.  Check the article, and do your research before you vote.  This blog will post articles on each candidate. We ask that you give each candidate and incumbent a  fair shake. Don't vote for them because they are Democrat, don't not vote for them because they are Republican, or because of their sexual orientatation. Each candidate deserves our full consideration. 
Good luck Chris.  It ain't personal, it's business.

Hunter vs. Board of Elections article

As we've stated before, this blog does not solely exist to bring highlights of the corruption of the cheif legal representative in Hamilton County. We use this blog for many reasons including to highlight injustice.  We think it's shameful that tax-payer dollars are funding this court case.

Thank you Gov. Kasich for granting clemency (Kelli Williams - Bolar)

***UPDATE***
Governor Kasich graciously grants clemency to Kelli Williams-Bolar.  Her felony charges have been reduced to misdemeanors.  CALL AND THANK Governor Kasiich

**********************************************************************
old post from yesterday

CAJD's does not agree with some of Kasich's policies (no to selling prisons). Still, after watching him in the debates last year - it's clear he supports criminal justice reform. He understands that one must be smart on crime.  Please take time to contact Governor John Kasich and humbly request that he pardon Kelli Williams - Bolar.  After all isn't America the land of second chances?  We believe that if Kelli Williams - Bolar  is given a second chance she will continue her education and live a productive life. That's a win-win situation for all.  

Governor John Kasich

Riffe Center, 30th Floor
