Andrew Cuomo Please Grant me Entitled Disability Retirement Benefits!

After reading this post please call Governor Cuomo at 518-474-8390 and tell him to use an Executive Order to give me entitled disability retirement benefits. Black New York citizens deserves a governor who will not only support equal opportunity for all of its citizens but one that will correct past racial injustice.

I am entitled to  Disability Retirement because of Judicial Estoppel. The legal doctrine of  Judicial Estoppel means a party is not allowed to present a different legal argument that is contrary to a previous legal argument that results in a favorable decision for that party in another legal proceeding.

The Defendant NYS Department of Civil Service disapproved my disability retirement application in June of 1997.

I filed my employment discrimination lawsuit October 15, 1997, and was FIRED in retaliation for filing  the lawsuit at the close of business on November 2, 1998.

The Defendants in my Title 7 (employment discrimination) Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended case should not have prevailed in claim that I fired because my medical condition rendered me incapable of doing Correctional Officer duties. Please note in June 1997, they determined that I wasn't disabled and not entitled to disability retirement.

My claim that I was fired November 2, 1998, in retaliation for filing October 15, 1997, lawsuit was rejected by district court, Second Circuit Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of the United States.

I have exhausted all avenues of judiciary redress including appealling my case without an attorney to the Supreme Court of the United States. Governor Andrew Cuomo is my only hope for peace, entitled disability retirement, and/or justice.

 

In an order dated May 25, 2001, now deceased Judge Elfvin, granted the Defendant's summary judgment motion in its entirety.

                  

                  

See Gould Declaration filed November 17, 2000. The evidence amply supports this conclusion and, as will be discussed more fully below, plaintiff’s references to a retaliatory motive behind her discharge based on race and sex are at best, conclusory assertions."  

"Turning first to plaintiff's claim regarding retaliatory discharge it is plain that  there are no facts in the record upon which such allegation can succeed. Assuming that plaintiff has set forth prima facie case of rretaliatory discharge she fails to articulate any reason why the proffered justification for terminating her was pretext - viz that her medical condition rendered  her incapable  of performing the duties of a correctional officer. (Purposely typed and copied from origin court order)
                                                            
NOTE: The judge cited Gould's perjured declaration in granting the Defendants summary judgement motion. At the bottom of Gould perjured declaration you can see the NYS Attorney General's name and fax number. Since Spitzer's staff knew that I was terminated in November 2, 1998 are they guilty of violating my civil rights or willfully engaging in a conspiracy with Lee Gould by submitting the perjured declaration for him to sign? 

During the final appeal hearing proceeding of my disability retirement application in 2002 NYS Department of Civil Services  argued that I was not entitled to disability retirement because I wasn’t disabled. Their 2002 legal argument (position) contradicted their legal summary judgment argument. An argument that resulted in Judge Elfvin’s favorable dismissing my entire case and ruling that my termination was not retaliatory.

In May of 2005 I contacted the United States Justice Department and at their telephone request e-mailed extensive documentation to support the fact that Eliot Spitzer filed 7 perjured declarations. The perjured declarations were filed in federal court with Spitzer summary judgment motion. All of the declarations in the following picture contained perjured (false) statement(s). 

In July 2005 Jane Wolfe and Allison Gioia both US Justice Department attorneys, reviewed my perjury allegations and direct evidence supporting the allegations. The United States Justice Department attorneys confirmed the perjury and informed me that they were referring my case to the FBI for an investigation. 

I telephoned the FBI and was told that they could not confirm or deny the fact that my allegations were being investigated because of confidentiality rules. The FBI and United States Justice Department under President George W. Bush leadership did not charge anyone with perjury in my case.

In 2008 I contact then Attorney General Andrew Cuomo after reading that he had increased the size of New York State Attorney General's Civil Rights Bureau.  I was hopefully that he would take the necessary action to make me whole from NYS Attorney General filing perjured declarations in court.

Governor Cuomo and New York State Departments of Correction and/or New York State Department of Civil Services can make me whole by reversing the unjust denial of my disability retirement application. Cuomo can use an executive order or support a bill that will give me entitled disability benefits from the date of my original application.

Other options for Cuomo and/or New York State Defendants named in my lawsuit to make me whole includes paying me back salary for the retaliatory failure of Albion CF staff to interview and/or reinstate me to the July 19, 1996, position of Supervisor of Inmate Grievance Program at Albion CF, and/or paying me the $3,000,000 that I demanded in my Title VII Civil Right Act of 1964 lawsuit.

NOTE: In 1998 I submitted a settlement offer to the Defendants.  I offered to settle my lawsuit for $50,000 and the rewarding of my disability retirement.

My Filibuster Reform Call to Senator Reid 202-224-3542

On November 18, 2013, I called 202-224-3542 and left a message requesting that Senator Reid reforms the filibuster rules with a member of his staff. 



Reforming the rules is also called the Nuclear Option. "Under the nuclear option, or the constitutional option, the party in charge can use procedural maneuvers to set new precedents, then change the rules with a simple majority of 51." Credit - Huffington Post

Please call Reid and record your call if you get a live person please inform them that you are recording the conversation. After the live call or if you leave a message please post it online using CNN-IReports, social media, facebook, twitter, blogs etc.

Senator Reid lets get it done for President Obama . Once President Obama signs a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill majorities for Republicans in House and Senate or in the Whitehouse will not occur for the next forty years or more (Glenn Beck) on his now cancelled Fox show.

We can't change the hearts and minds of RACIST GOP leaders who on October 1, 2013 shutdown the federal government. Neither can we change the minds of Republicians in the House and Senate who are determined to denied President Obama a successful presidency or the right to appoint qualified judicial nominees.

Reid made a deal with Mitch McConnell as its relates to filibusters that Senate Republicans have viloated. Therefore is is time that we DEMAND that our party used every weapon available including the nuclear option to crush the REPUBLICAN PARTY unrelentless opposition to President Obama's legitimacy and their failure to honor senate agreements.

NUCLEAR OPTION NOW: Call Senator Reid at 202-224-3542

We can't change the hearts and minds of RACIST people who are determined to denied President Obama a successful presidency. We can DEMAND that our party used every weapon available including the nuclear option to crush the REPUBLICAN PARTY unrelentless opposition to President Obama's legitimacy. 

What you can and I pray will do is CALL 202-224-3542 and tell Seanator Reid to use the Nuclear Option Now! "Under the nuclear option, or the constitutional option, the party in charge can use procedural maneuvers to set new precedents, then change the rules with a simple majority of 51." Credit - Huffington Post

On October 31, 2013, According to the Huffington Post "Vice President Biden said it might be time to change the institution's rules using the nuclear option after Republicans blocked yet another one of President Barack Obama's nominees.Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.) to oversee the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

We can't and won't wait any longer for President Obama's judiciary appointments to be appointed and confirmed. GOP has held up federal judges that he wants to appoint to the federal courts and other important nominees. The Senate stepped back from the "nuclear option" after group of Republicans led by Sen. John McCain made a deal with Reid."

President Obama supporters of all races please call Harry Reid and tell him not to back down from imposing nuclear option. Reform the rules now because we need all of President Obama nominees confirmed especially all federal judges vacancies which are lifetime appointments filled this year before the midterm elections of 2014.

Trayvon Martin cases is one of the reason that we need federal judges appointed by President Obama confirmed. Martin is a painful example that Blacks don't receive fair trials and/or just verdicts. Martin's case is also an example that racism not only still exists in America, it is still rampant. This fact contradicts our refined politically correct sensibilities.



The bulk of the most heinous and systematic racism is geared towards African-Americans. And though we have a slew of highly visible and wildly successful African-Americans to exalt and emulate, African-Americans are still disproportionately undereducated, un/underemployed, and wrongfully terminated. This is a true fact.

We cannot afford to muffle the truth because racism appears to have gotten worst since this nation elected President Barack Hussein Obama not once but two times. In fact Presient Obama has been the object of undeniable RACISM, hate, and disrespect.  Now is up to all American who believe in equality, justice for all, ObamaCare, Immigration Reform, and President Obama's vision for this nation to take action.

PLEASE Call 202-224-3542 AND tell Harry Reid to use the Nuclear Option NOW!

GOPTrojan Horse Chris Christie Must be Defeated on November 5, 2013

 

According to Izzy Santa, director of Hispanic communications director Democrats hold a 700,000-voter registration advantage in New Jersey;The RNC expects to spend a total of $1.5 million to get voters to the polls, Santa said in an interview.   I believe that NJ is a must win for Democrats because the November 5, 2013, election is about Christie 2016 bid for president.

In order for this nation to live up to the promises of fairness, equal opportunity, and justice for all from November 7, 2012 to FOREVER we must respectfully request President Obama or his secret weapon First Lady Obama to start campaigning for Democrat Buono to defeat Governor Christie on November 5, 2013. 

What 2012 presidential election promises have President Obama delivered on during the first year of his second term?  Although no fault of his own I can’t think of one. The Republican Party has effectively made him a lame duck president in 2013 but WE can CHANGE that. 

Please help me to DEMAND a CALL TO ACTION in New Jersey by our beloved President and the Democratic Party. This is the Democrats Waterloo moment if Buono defeats Christie on November 5, 2013, it will destroy the Republicans hope and dreams for victory in 2014 midterm and the 2016 presidential elections. The GOP can only take back the Whitehouse in 2016 if Christie fools Democrats voters to vote for him over our candidate like former President George W Bush did in 2000.

Rove and the Right blamed Hillary Clinton for Sept. 11, 2012, attack at the U.S. post in Benghazi, Libya. Rove has determined that Hillary is the GOP greatest threat to not taking back the Whitehouse. Therefore, Rove and GOP attacked her.

Reasons I believe Democrats should take a page from KARL ROVE’S Play Book - remove Governor Christie as Hillary or the Democratic 2016 presidential nominee threat.

1.      Christie wasted millions by scheduling a special election to fill NJ senator vacancy that Mayor Cory Booker won. He didn’t want to be on same November 5, 2013 ballot with Booker.

2.      Christie secretly had surgery to lose weight because of his plans to run in 2016.

3.      Christie has had a least 1 secret meeting with Koch who is anti-Obama anti-Obamacare and/or worst.

4.      Cruz has become the GOP planned scapegoat to deflect their not so secret plans for Christie to be their 2016 nominee.

5.      Christie like 99.9% of elected Republicans hates President Obama and his vision for this nation.

6.      At the Democratic National Convention, Newark Mayor Cory Booker urged New Jerseyans this morning not only to come out for President Obama but to come out to defeat Gov. Chris Christie next year. Booker urged his fellow New Jersey Democrats to come out for a Democratic candidate in 2013. Therefore, I hope he Booker will support a call to action to help a Democrats defeat Christie on November 5, 2013.  If he doesn't I believe he owes NJ and all Democratic voters why he isn't taking an active role in helping Buono defeat Christie.

Senator Cruz and Racist Republicians Want to Put Blacks Back in Chains?

According to Pascal Robert May 11, 2013, Huffington Post article titled "The Reactionary Nature of Black Politics:" "The main vehicle allowing this constant social and political demobilization of the Black community stems from the problematic reality that Black politics has traditionally been grounded in a purely reactionary response to the phenomenon of racism -- particularly without a clear understanding of the purpose of racism in its application to Blacks.

This stems from a failure to understand basic key aspects of the relationship of Blacks to America and racism, mostly because the sheer terror used under the guise of racism to maintain the prevailing order has been so atrocious that the political focus by Blacks has been to concentrate on that terror and attempts to neutralize it without truly addressing its root cause."

Senator Ted Cruz and the GOP actions towards President Obama especially the October 1, 2013, closing of the federal government is an example of racism to maintain the prevailing order.  Blacks and Americans who believe in EQUALITY for all Americans can stop being reactionary and become proactive.  Read my book Screwed by Former Governor and Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and respectfully request action from President Obama. 

As president Obama can use an Executive Order to amend Title VII  of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He can amend the act to protect it and employment discrimination victims before the United Supreme Court of America guts that act like it did the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Courts VRA decision and its Affordable Care Act "Obamacare" deciion to aid members of Congress like Senator Cruz to "put Blacks back in chains."

Worst Racism Since Gov Wallace" 1963 Segregation Forever Speech: House Changing Rules to Keep Government Shutdown

According to TPM DC Late on the night of Sept. 30, with the federal government just hours away from shutting down, House Republicans quietly made a small change to the House rules that blocked a potential avenue for ending the shutdown. With less than two hours to midnight and shutdown, Speaker John Boehner's latest plan emerged. House Republicans would "insist" on their latest spending bill, including the anti-Obamacare provision, and request a conference with the Senate to resolve the two chambers' differences.

Under normal House rules, according to House Democrats, once that bill had been rejected again by the Senate, then any member of the House could have made a motion to vote on the Senate's bill. Such a motion would have been what is called "privileged" and entitled to a vote of the full House. At that point, Democrats say, they could have joined with moderate Republicans in approving the motion and then in passing the clean Senate bill, averting a shutdown. But previously, House Republicans had made a small but hugely consequential move to block them from doing it.

President Obama presidency and this nation democracy is at stake and survival is at state. The fact that a branch of government would go to the extreme measure to shutdown government, make a rule that would keep it close unless one man Eric Cantor and then state continuously that Reid and/or President Obama is responsible for the shutdown, make unjust demands in return for letting Republican Eric Cantor bring a vote to the floor to re-open government should be exposed during a PRIME TIME ADDRESS TO THE NATION. The address should include the video of House Chair acknowledging the September rule change and footage of the Republican leadership public remarks denouncing the shutdown and blaming Reid and Obama for the government not opening. Boehner deceive nation when he say he didn't have the votes to bring motion to floor to re-open government when based on the GOP rule change he doesn't have the authority to bring the vote to the floor.
