		<description>I&#039;m not crazy about the Observer having no contact number, a free press works both ways, but the article written by Don Rose last week about the impending G-8/NATO meetings set for Chicago was right on target as once again, the whole world will be watching... The Violence report stemming out of the &#039;68 riots was actually titled; &quot;The causes and prevention of...&quot; and details the way for future mayors to avoid the same horrendous situation, this mayor seems to be using it as a primer in the reverse.</description>

		<description>I am sending you a letter about Kankakee County. I see your outrage over George Ryan.  I have experienced more of the same hell in Kankakee County from the powers that be. Please help me.

Ron Hanson,

I have read your letters in the web site about outrage.

I am outraged.  My family is a victim of the powers that be in Kankakee County. I wrote a book. An American Nightmare, the Story of Scary Mommy and the Sex Offender, by Louella Thomas, on Kindle and Nook, and soon to be in print.

My granddaughters, my son&#039;s by his ex wife, are trafficked by a sex offender against court order. All of Kankakee County and their Illinois counterparts, have worked for the sex offender to have his victims. No one helped us. Mostly people lied and conspired to help the sex offender.

We were chased by Kankakee police, the judges did nothing to stop this monster, who was court ordered no contact, a doctor testified to their injuries, and named the attacker, Kankakee police refused to help us, Illinois State police ditto, we were aware that the sex offender murdered someone, and no one cared, and refused to speak with us, Lisa Dugan did absolutely nothing after my brother in law, who knows her called her and begged her to help, and she said she would, the FBI refused to help after they realized that the sex offender had connections to Bernie Thompson, Bernie Thompson came into court and helped the mother traffick the children out of state to the sex offender, whose last name is also Thompson.

It&#039;s a horror story of hell.  My granddaughters are suffering. We haven&#039;t seen them in almost three years.  

Please read my book.  If you are unable to get one, I will send you one once they are printed.

Thank you. Happy Holidays.

		<description>Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. 
The tagline for Goodwill’s retail locations emphatically sponsors the nation’s green initiative, appearing in bold colors on the backs of employees and in distractingly large font on the non-profit’s website. You’d almost think they were trying to compensate for something. 
 
The company’s mission, or so they claim, is to help those with disabilities or disadvantages find meaningful employment; but the profits made in-store ultimately fund the opening of more locations. A percentage of sales do go to Goodwill’s workforce center, which provides career services aide, but that percentage was cut over twelve percent over the past year. 

Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. It is a call to the public to donate their used goods, but more importantly to the faces behind the two-way mirror, it is a call to shop in their stores—maximize donations, maximize sales, profit, and reinvest in themselves. Goodwill is a business just like any other retail site, only it benefits from the guise of being charitable and environmentally-friendly. 

In reality, when merchandise does not move fast enough at a Goodwill store, it is thrown away. Over the course of a week, this applies to dozens of perfect-condition CD’s and DVD’s, piles of toys and stuffed animals, and hundreds of plates, dishes, vases, house wares, and small knick-knacks. These items are trashed, not recycled, to make room for more products—and more sales. Dissembled furniture, even if donated completely, is trashed. Brand new and boxed items are tossed in the compactor if they happen to be knocked over by a customer and picked up by an employee during clean-up. 

In preparation for Black Friday the Washington Blvd. location—Chicago’s only Goodwill location—priced broken heaters which they received from a private business donation at $39.99. Management knew they were ineffective, but instructed staff to price them anyway; the store credits issued during returns would ensure repeat customers and more potential business. 

These tactics are not charitable, they are not environmentally-friendly; they are ruthless, and disingenuous to those who continue to donate and shop at Goodwill stores. Yes, you may find a treasure in another man’s trash, but know the scope of Goodwill’s business practices, and consider paying full retail price elsewhere.</description>

		<description>I am a 40 year old Hispanic male with no criminal record, I worked at AT&amp;T the phony company for 9 years, I was the head and only Technician for 2 garages and made over 70K. Chicago police while investigating destroyed my name all over the city and at work, they made up I was homosexual at work and lots of other nasty rumors I got harassed at work for over a year and half at AT&amp;T and wrongfully terminated on 7-23-2010. I used to get along with everybody at work for over 5 years before police slandered my name so badly, I want to sue the city and the Police for slander , defamation of character, race discrimination, police harassment, divulged false health information, emotional distress, street harassment caused by their continuing slander, work sexual harassment caused by them, trying to frame me and others, 1 beer DUI arrest retaliation for the lawsuit paid $2,000 for a DUI lawyer and wrongful termination caused by them. I have a log of all the harassment that took place at the garages. Complaints were made with EEOC and human rights commission, The police have surveillance video of all the harassment that took place. Police intentionally slandered my name at work, city, state to try to frame me to make evidence for their illegal case. Ive been looking for a lawyer to sue the city and police for close to 2 years. I also cant find a job because the police destroyed my name so badly.

I received a call from Human rights commission and they said they are not investigating my complaints. Now Im waiting to see what EEOC will do. Their seems to be a huge conspiracy between the city and police. Many of the crimes were done intentionally they are hate crimes because I am hispanic. Police broke many federal and civil rights laws I have video evidence, audio, many witnesses, and documents to prove my case. I cant find a civil rights lawyer in 2 years and I have 12 counts in my lawsuit millions of dollars of damages. I filed a pro se lawsuit in February you can see it 11-cv-01578 it explains all the crimes and damages in detail. I need a lawyer to take over my case.

CHICAGO COPS are screwing with the EEOC and all my lawyers for 2 years to get away with all these crimes</description>

		<description>Hello,
    I&#039;m contacting you as the producer of &quot;A Perfect Soldier.&quot;  It is a documentary film playing at the Siskel Film Center in Chicago April 30, 2011 at 8pm.  I&#039;m hoping you&#039;d be interested in reviewing our film, or helping promote it&#039;s screening at the end of April.  If interested, I can send an online link to our film for your review.

The film focuses on a former child soldier of the Khmer Rouge who now helps de-mine many landmines that he once helped lay.  We present Aki Ra, a man conflicted by his past, trying to do good in a war-torn country.  The film is the first to showcase Aki Ra, 2010 Top 10 CNN Heroes nominee.

As you can imagine, we care very deeply about our film.  It is important to us as it brings to light what Cambodia as a country is dealing with, so any help in promoting the film is greatly appreciated.  The director, writer, and myself are all from Chicago and will be available for a Q &amp; A at the premiere. We are also happy to answer any questions in advance.

The film&#039;s website: http://www.aperfectsoldier.com
 
Cnn Heroes website: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cnn.heroes/archive10/aki.ra.html
 
Thanks,

Jonathan

		<description>Please Help My Autistic Son, A Mother‘s Plea!

I am pleading, praying and begging for help. I am a forty –four year old single with two children. My son battle with Asperger Syndrome and is very high Functioning due to my life long dedication in training and rearing him. I took my son from a self- contain Special Ed classroom to honor roll student in a regular classroom setting.  I’m a member of two autism support groups, where I have received years of extensive autism training.  Due to my son’s disability his father never wanted him and told me to abort him. So I raise him alone for ten years and my son did nothing but excel. 


In April of 2007, my son’s father decided to be in his life and stated to me that he would help me with my son only if I took him off child support, so I did. In December of 2007, we agreed to joint custody. My son returns home to me on weekends with bruises so bad where I had to make police reports. During the summer of 2007 my son’s father and the doctor who supervise the visitations came to my home to drop my son back off to me. I thought it was strange for the doctor to come to my home; my son immediately slammed the door and stated he did not want to go back to his dad’s house it was a bad house.  After that day my son became violent, wetting the bed, hitting himself, mimicking the profanity used towards him while living with his father. I immediately called DCFS and motion the courts for full custody. The courts did not listen to my son or DCFS because of his autism. 


I try to protect my son from being abuse by his father who knows a lot of influential people due to his membership with a certain fraternity. My son’s father has repeatedly showed up to my home harassing me and children even on two occasions he came with 
Off duty police officers and when I call 911 they stated that no police was dispatched to my home. On one of these incidents he drags my son out against his will the whole block watch in horror. My son was screaming and yelling for help and he was only in his underwear hanging from the roof  of his father’s car.


The same judge and child representative has handle this whole custody case, due to the recommendation of my son’s father professional doctor friend   the judge continue to order my son to have visits with his father which cause my son for the first time in his life to have seizures and was hospitalized three times for the first time of his life for nervous breakdowns and put on medication due to the fear returning to his father home which is documented. My respite worker and I drag my son to these court order visits for weeks. My son became more violent towards my daughter and me and blamed me for those visits. My son ‘s doctor not his father friend wrote the Judge letters stating my son should not continue these visits but their pleas went on deaf ears. 



Lastly, on November 6, 2010 while at a court ordered supervise facility. My son had whelps inside of both hands and on his left hip he was black and blues even his skin was peeling off. I called the police at once, the police return him back to his father even when his father admitted to police that he beat on my son for punishment. The court visistation worker reported the incident  to  DCFS they have not been out yet to investigate, it’s been 48 hours. Also it is court order my son father is not suppose to use any type of corporal punishment or objects towards my son.    Somebody please help me and my son.  I was never  married to my son father nor did I ever live with him and did not know he was abusive and had anger problems. I have always been a good mother and wanted nothing but the best for my son. I will continue to advocate for him until he’s place back home. This truly has been a strain  on my family and I  to watch my son be treated this way  because of his fathers lack and unwilliness to accept my child’s disability.  I do not have any legal representation and I am financially unable to pay for representation.  My son is talented, loving, and smart child who deserves the best in life. Son these letters and prayers are going out on your behalf your voice will be heard .</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please Help My Autistic Son, A Mother‘s Plea!</p>
<p>I am pleading, praying and begging for help. I am a forty –four year old single with two children. My son battle with Asperger Syndrome and is very high Functioning due to my life long dedication in training and rearing him. I took my son from a self- contain Special Ed classroom to honor roll student in a regular classroom setting.  I’m a member of two autism support groups, where I have received years of extensive autism training.  Due to my son’s disability his father never wanted him and told me to abort him. So I raise him alone for ten years and my son did nothing but excel. </p>
<p>In April of 2007, my son’s father decided to be in his life and stated to me that he would help me with my son only if I took him off child support, so I did. In December of 2007, we agreed to joint custody. My son returns home to me on weekends with bruises so bad where I had to make police reports. During the summer of 2007 my son’s father and the doctor who supervise the visitations came to my home to drop my son back off to me. I thought it was strange for the doctor to come to my home; my son immediately slammed the door and stated he did not want to go back to his dad’s house it was a bad house.  After that day my son became violent, wetting the bed, hitting himself, mimicking the profanity used towards him while living with his father. I immediately called DCFS and motion the courts for full custody. The courts did not listen to my son or DCFS because of his autism. </p>
<p>I try to protect my son from being abuse by his father who knows a lot of influential people due to his membership with a certain fraternity. My son’s father has repeatedly showed up to my home harassing me and children even on two occasions he came with<br />
Off duty police officers and when I call 911 they stated that no police was dispatched to my home. On one of these incidents he drags my son out against his will the whole block watch in horror. My son was screaming and yelling for help and he was only in his underwear hanging from the roof  of his father’s car.</p>
<p>The same judge and child representative has handle this whole custody case, due to the recommendation of my son’s father professional doctor friend   the judge continue to order my son to have visits with his father which cause my son for the first time in his life to have seizures and was hospitalized three times for the first time of his life for nervous breakdowns and put on medication due to the fear returning to his father home which is documented.
