The most despicable crimes: A short list

  • Molesting Children: To rob a child of his or her innocence is hard to forgive. The illness that posses the perpetrator is merciless to both the victim and to him or her.

  • Acting Wrong Under the Color of Law is all all too frequent events. The reason we have our police in bright uniforms with shinny buttons, bright stripes and badges, ribbons and metals is so that we know where they are at all times. Using your position under the Law to take advantage, be cruel to or discourteous to is heinous. Making ill-considered judgments, taking unfair or illegal advantage--- and any number of other crimes--- leads to cruel and unusual treatment

  • Another crime is that of mistreating people who have been accused of, convicted of and imprisoned for a crime. When we (society) have someone in custody and under our control, we have the duty to treat them in a manner as to NOT injure them, molest them, deny them basic needs, and using unreasonable force  or off the hand threats.  We are in control. They can not hurt us. Sticks and stones--- you know-- words will never hurt me.

  • Crimes of a prisoners where there is no physical injury, property loss or the like should be dealt with in a calm deliberate manner. Guards, Wardens, Supervisors should not be of the personal traits that allow these insults of prisoners or minor infractions blow them away. All to often they take personally the acts of an imprisoned person and flail out. Once having don the deed, they sink into a mode of denial and assume the role of the "power" and declare overtly or sub-consciously an aggressive dominate position.

Let all that discussion be taken on by those who make a living doing it.

  • There are times when the punishment does not fit the crime. We must be aware of this and ever vigil of the   infractions of the rules on the part of guards, wardens and supervisors of prisoners.

  • We receive information regularly of instances where the punishment meted out behind bars is at times way beyond reasonable. We pass them along.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO RUN THESE CASES TO THE GROUND AND DO AT LEAST A SUPERFICIAL INVESTIGATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES.  iT IS LIKE RAISING THE URINAL IN THE MEN'S ROOM... IT KEEPS PEOPLE ON THERE TOES.  CALL US, PLEASE IF YOU CAN HELP OF KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO CAN. 1 919 741 5113 Or email us at paracletefoundation@gmail.com

If your really care, you must go here and learn the facts!

It is our duty, in an effort to be good citizens, loyal Americans, and individuals of high principals to be familiar with the issues. We must not be moved by hysteria, exaggeration, error, single issue misguidance to avoid facts, but to study the ideas of others and try to understand that change is not wrong, not dangerous or unnecessary if we participate, study and speak out.

The News:
Congress Attempts to Kill the "Third-Party Threat" -
On February 1, congressional Democrats, led by Rep. Obey of Wisconsin, introduced a bill, H.R. 4694, that would end viable, third-party competition in races for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Our Take:
This is as evil as preventing felons from voting and both parties are guilty of supporting it.
ACT!
------------Write your Congressman opposing such practices.
