We should try to help this woman, who Wells Fargo wants to foreclose, even though it was her former husband who messed up and she has been trying to pay off the loans. Can CJ Holmes be notified? I forgot her e-mail address. Ann

Hello Susan,

I hope I find you well!

I apologize that this is on such short notice, but I have been trying to make some change on a local and day-to-day level. If you spare 5 minutes of your time today or tomorrow (5/01 or 5/02,) I have a petition concerning a local and long-time Fort Braggian named Bonnie Brayton. To make a very long story short, she is being financially abused. If nothing is done, Wells Fargo will be foreclosing on Bonnie's home on May 26th, 2017. I am trying to prevent that by proposing Wells Fargo modify a "30 due in 15" $95,191.61 balloon payment into incremental payments that Bonnie can make. She is very kind, generous and intellectual woman; the kind of lady you'd want to keep in her home so that she's in a position to bring help to those who need it and positive change to Fort Bragg. If all goes well and she can stay in her home, her main goals are to 1) be a resource for victims of financial abuse, 2) rescue parrots (she already does that,) and 3) start a communal vegetable garden, potentially involving cooperation with the food bank.

If this sounds like the type of lady you'd like to support, let me know. I'm doing this "by hand" because anyone can make an online petition these days, but it takes a lot of effort to get handwritten signatures. I plan on trying to certified-mail this either today (Monday) or tomorrow. Give me a call, text or reply to this E-mail. (707) 671 4948. Let me know where I can meet you - I will go TO you to get more signatures on this petition. If you know of anyone else who would lend a signature to make more impact, I'd just need to know where I can meet up with them.

Wishing you the best,
Brieann


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background information to further explain my petition and why it matters:

Bonnie is 60 years old. She inherited her property on Simpson Lane in 1999, moved there, and then added her (then) husband's name, Michael, to the deed in order to secure a $100,000.00 loan with Wells Fargo. They both signed the loan. It was their plan together to fix up the property, live in Bonnie's family's house, and rent out the two smaller houses. (These are not large or lavish houses, and are quite old.) Michael spent 30% of the loan on his business (rather, he was using the loan money and not working his business so it was failing,) and then quit his business to live off of the loan. 2008 rolls around and Michael wants a divorce, then leaves Bonnie with two unusable rental units, three macaw parrots, and the loan payments. Michael agreed, in writing, to make the loan payments and refurbish the rental units.

He didn't refurbish the rental units, and paid no significant amount on the loan. 8 years later, a court order to make the payments, a conviction on 14 counts of contempt for non-payment with an order to bring the loan current...and he hasn't paid anything further. Wells Fargo proved in his bank statements that he could make these payments. One year later, the judge dismissed the second 14 contempt charges brought forward because Bonnie's representation didn't bring those Wells Fargo bank statements forward. There are further details that, if I explained, would emphasize how dysfunctional the whole court situation has been in this case. Because the court didn't enforce their orders, Bonnie had to declare bankruptcy and pay off the arrears on the loan. She was able to finally fix up the rental units and generate income to start paying off the loan. She's barely put a dent in it, but she's really trying. Unfortunately, the loan is a "30 due in 15," and the 30 is due on May 26th, 2017. I'm trying to petition to get Wells Fargo to let Bonnie pay incrementally instead of make a huge balloon payment, and to let them know that foreclosure in Bonnie's case is inappropriate and unnecessary. The petition, along with a letter of appeal I've written, will be sent to Franklin Codel, Senior Executive Vice President of Consumer Lending.

Within the week, I'm also probably going to start a GoFundMe for her, after I give my support to Bones, Studio-Z and whoever else was a victim of the fire adjacent to Cafe del Mar.

Bonnie has already taken every typical and legal action afforded to California citizens in order to prevent foreclosure on her property and to try to get her ex-husband called out on his intentional negligence. Project Sanctuary has backed my claim of financial abuse, and I'll be getting a written statement from Bonnie's counselor there. I'm taking the reigns on this one to try to save Bonnie from losing her home. Nobody deserves this, and I'm sick and tired of my good, hardworking friends losing their homes. Though homelessness is not necessarily powerlessness, it certainly makes positive change much more difficult to accomplish.

Bonnie's case is akin to the following larger campaigns:

1) Proving that financial abuse exists, and is prevalent in many divorce situations.

2) Foreclosure is a last resort, and that Wells Fargo and other banks should bother to work with their clients to keep them in their homes. This is especially true when the client is capable of continuing to make payments over time, but is held back by the technicalities of the loan's structure and who signed the loan.

3) Shedding light on some situations with our local court that aren't right. Our justice here in town has done the following, and possibly more:
- allowed abalone poachers to get away with breaking the law because they don't speak english and therefor don't know the law, and further: http://www.mendocinobeacon.com/article/ZZ/20140417/NEWS/140418587
- did not enforce the restraining order against a local woman (who is known to be a drunk and a criminal) when she was committing elder abuse on my 90+ year old great aunt, Mae Johnson,
- has also allowed this situation with Bonnie's ex-husband to go on to the point that Bonnie's property is now being foreclosed on. Judges in Ukiah and neighboring counties, from what I hear, would have probably thrown Michael in jail or at least done something besides wag a finger at him and give him orders he can ignore. This case has been open for at least 6 years!

It already takes many years for a new public protection to navigate the regulatory process. Now this bill would add more than 80 burdensome and time-consuming hurdles to that process ? paralyzing agencies that already are struggling to operate under tight budgets. Just as scary, the RAA establishes a default requirement that agencies adopt rules that are the least costly to industry - irrespective of the public benefits. This act would override the Clean Air Act, the Mine Safety and Health Act, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act and dozens of other laws that make protecting the public and workers the highest priority.

Instead of erasing these protections one at a time, as a current law requires, Midnight Rules would let Congress to wipe out dozens ? perhaps even hundreds ? of regulatory protections at a time. The Trump Administration has already used the Congressional Review Act more than any administration in history. Can you imagine if they could have free rein to delete hundreds of protections at once?!

It would allow Congress to block vital public protections simply by doing nothing.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Send local student to ACLU  Summer Institute
Message-ID: <6701E291-0F07-4084-9623-B546BB06BD55@mcn.org>

Dear community,

My name is Andy Wellspring and I am the new Social Studies teacher at Mendocino High School.  It is only my second year in this job and I am truly appreciating the opportunity.  I am starting to see the need for a scholarship fund for high school students who would like to participate in social justice-oriented summer programs, and I wonder if you would like to contribute to such a fund.  If you could also pass along this email to others who you think might be interested in helping, thank you!

I have a particular student in mind right now who needs financial support to be able to attend the ACLU Summer Institute in Washington D.C., at Georgetown University.  See this website for full details of the program:
https://www.aclu.org/feature/aclu-summer-institute

This student will be such a great fit for the Institute, and I am sure his passion for social justice issues and his oratory skills will be strengthened tenfold by attending this summer program.  Unfortunately the Institute only has very limited scholarships and he won't be able to attend without several thousand dollars of community support.  

I know that we all do what we can in terms of making donations, and we all have different kinds of things we prioritize supporting.  If you like the idea of investing in a 17-year-old local student who is passionate about civil rights and has the skills to really succeed in this realm then please be in touch with me.  If you aren't able to make a donation at this time, this student is also willing to do yardwork and odd jobs around your house in order to make money to pay for the Institute.  He has a car and I can promise you will really enjoy meeting him and that he will work hard. 

It would be ideal to collect donations as soon as possible to determine how much support is available and if you prefer to write to me soon and make a pledge of what you can contribute later that would also be wonderful.

If you would like to discuss starting an ongoing scholarship fund for students like this please let me know. 

Thank you for your consideration!

Tell your Senator to say "NO" to 3 pending bills could destroy our public
protections

	
Take action against 3 pending bills could destroy our public protections @
http://action.ufw.org/enviro417

We have to act NOW. There are three bills that have passed the house and are
now in the senate that can literally destroy decades of progress for our
environment, food supply and so much more.

The Regulatory Accountability Act (RAA) could cripple the process for
issuing and enforcing rules to ensure we have clean air and water, safe food
and consumer products, fair wages and safe workplaces and many other key
protections. It already takes many years for a new public protection to
navigate the regulatory process. Now this bill would add more than 80
burdensome and time-consuming hurdles to that process - paralyzing agencies
that already are struggling to operate under tight budgets. Just as scary,
the RAA establishes a default requirement that agencies adopt rules that are
the least costly to industry - irrespective of the public benefits. This act
would override the Clean Air Act, the Mine Safety and Health Act, the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act and dozens of other laws that make
protecting the public and workers the highest priority.

Then there is the Midnight Rules Relief Act which would expand a rarely used
law called the Congressional Review Act that allows a new Congress to strike
down regulatory protections established in the last six months under the
previous president. Instead of erasing these protections one at a time, as a
current law requires, Midnight Rules would let Congress to wipe out dozens -
perhaps even hundreds - of regulatory protections at a time. The Trump
Administration has already used the Congressional Review Act more than any
administration in history. Can you imagine if they could have free rein to
delete hundreds of protections at once?!

Finally, the REINS Act would require big-ticket public protections - those
that provide the most health, safety, environmental and economic benefits -
to be approved by both chambers of Congress before taking effect. This is
nothing more than a back-door way to gut enforcement of existing legislation
and future safeguards that threaten big-money interests. It would allow
Congress to block vital public protections simply by doing nothing.

All three of the bills that would wipe out public protections would leave
tens of millions of Americans vulnerable to workplace and environmental
disasters and more. All three bills have already passed in the House of
Representatives. But we can still stop them in the Senate.

E-mail your senators now @ http://action.ufw.org/enviro417

Why I?m finally ready to agree a single-payer healthcare system would be better for business
By Gene Marks

My wife is English and one of the biggest surprises she had when moving to this country was healthcare. ?I don?t understand why my employer is involved in my healthcare,? she said back then ? and still says today. After years of listening to that argument, I?m starting to understand what she means.

I can?t believe I?m saying this. I consider myself a smaller-government, fiscally right-of-center guy. I own a small business. I want lower taxes and less regulations. And yet, after watching and studying and writing about healthcare reform for going on 10 years I think I?m finally to the point of caving in and admitting that maybe, just maybe, a single-payer system would be what?s best for businesses, including businesses like mine.

Every year I speak and work with thousands of business owners and managers and each and every one of them are terrified come summertime when healthcare rates for the next year are announced. Every year ? and I mean every year ? my clients have suffered with double-digit increases in their healthcare costs. Sure, they are pushing more of these costs down to their employees. But most are still covering a large part of the health insurance offered to their people.

We spend too much time trying to figure out ways to reduce our healthcare insurance ? which, to many represents a significant line item on our income statements. This time distracts us from ways to grow our businesses. But we have to do this because we have to offer a healthcare benefit. Our employees expect it. Our competitors are offering theirs. The labor pool is tight. My wife asks ?why?? So do I.

We?re at the point where many of my clients ? and many who are fiscally right-of-center like me ? would seriously consider an individual tax increase and all the risks of a single-payer system just to take this headache away from our businesses so we can focus on?well?our businesses.

Comment by Don McCanne

Placing health financing decisions into the hands of employers for a majority of Americans is a historical fluke and continuing to do so defies logic. A single payer national health program would end this nonsense (not to mention providing affordable, comprehensive health care for everyone).

Wells Fargo?s ?War on the Poor? and communities of color MUST be stopped- from foreclosing on thousands of families, to defrauding millions of customers, to funding the Dakota Access Pipeline, they continue to wreak havoc on our communities!

After falling for a predatory "pick-a-pay" loan from Wells Fargo, my home was foreclosed out from under me and sold to Michael Marr of Community Realty & Investments - currently facing a federal indictment for rigging foreclosure auctions. I was traumatically evicted and given 20 minutes to gather my life's belongings. Email Wells Fargo executives to demand that they purchase my home back, that was snatched illegally, so I can buy it back<http://www.acceaction.org/stop_evictions?e=e01b237a2ea1621fb1a259640ec08249&utm_source=acceaction&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dorothy_wells&n=2&test_email=1&e=1e7e58c2cb2287481b6676acfa7ed9a5&utm_source=acceaction&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dorothy_2&n=6>. <http://www.acceaction.org/stop_evictions?e=e01b237a2ea1621fb1a259640ec08249&utm_source=acceaction&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dorothy_wells&n=3&test_email=1&e=1e7e58c2cb2287481b6676acfa7ed9a5&utm_source=acceaction&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dorothy_2&n=7>

What's worse is that I'm not the only one. Richmond ACCE member Genny Zentalla was also preyed on by Wells Fargo.

Genny has been battling with Wells Fargo for more than 4 years trying to get them to give her an affordable loan modification. She refinanced her home in 2005 with Wachovia (later bought by Wells Fargo) and received a predatory pick-a-payment loan. At 63 years old and living on Social Security, Keep Your Home California has approved Genny for their principal reduction program three times. But Wells Fargo refuses to accept the KYHC fund which would help make Genny's loan affordable. Now Wells Fargo wants Genny to pay more than $5,000 a month or face eviction.

Tell Wells Fargo to give Genny an affordable loan modification NOW!<http://www.acceaction.org/stop_evictions?e=e01b237a2ea1621fb1a259640ec08249&utm_source=acceaction&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dorothy_wells&n=4&test_email=1&e=1e7e58c2cb2287481b6676acfa7ed9a5&utm_source=acceaction&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dorothy_2&n=8>

Thank you for contacting me. The first responsibility of the federal
government is to keep the American people safe. That is why we are
working every day to secure our borders, rebuild our military, and
defeat the threat of radical Islamist terrorism.

This Monday Council meeting will address the Local Coastal Plan for the G/P Millsite land.  It is a long process, but already there are murky elements, such as:
1) What parcels has G/P real estate already put into escrow to an unknown buyer?
2) Why are the owners of the Millsite selling parcels before DTSC has fully remediated the property?
3) Why is the City Manager hiding the identity of these unknown buyers and the purpose of the unknown parcels?  Is it commercial, residential, near the Ocean or near the future town? We deserve to be informed.
4) As the Millsite is not yet zoned, what is a "parcel" and what size is it? Which OU is it contained in? At a previous meeting the Council said that the land would not be sold and developed "piecemeal" with buyers picking off the best areas first.
5) Is the City committed to making the Contractors for G/P and DTSC completely remediate the remaining areas of OUE before signing off. We do not want any more "land use covenents" or "deed restrictions" that allow toxins to remain in place, such as the plume of atrazine in streams and the gasses under areas where buildings cannot exist.
6) This document the City sent out addresses climate change and sea level rise, but does not say whether the Millpond will be cleaned thoroughly or the wooden Dam removed.  These things must be done!

Subject: Congress can reveal Trump's taxes

TAKE ACTION >><https://petitions.signforgood.com/RyanReleaseTrumpTaxes/?code=commoncause> Americans deserve transparency from the President -- our members of Congress must force him to release his tax returns. Add your name today.<https://petitions.signforgood.com/RyanReleaseTrumpTaxes/?code=commoncause>

Dear Ann,

I'm Jack from Common Cause, and we're teaming up with MoveOn members like you to hold President Trump accountable.

And right now, we urgently need you to speak out: because Congress has the power to make President Trump?s tax returns public -- but Speaker Paul Ryan is refusing to even hold a vote so his fellow Republicans don?t have to go on the record.

But this Congress can?t keep shirking its duty to hold the President accountable. There?s a special legislative measure called a ?discharge petition? that forces a floor vote on a bill, even if the Speaker won?t call one.

We just need a majority of the House to sign on -- and nearly 190 lawmakers of the 218 we need already have. And any lawmaker who hasn?t yet signed the discharge petition must do so immediately -- or we?ll know they?re not serious about holding President Trump accountable.

Tell Congress to make Trump?s tax returns public -- then follow up with a call to your lawmaker urging them to sign the discharge petition.<https://petitions.signforgood.com/RyanReleaseTrumpTaxes/?code=commoncause>

The American people are demanding answers about President Trump?s business dealings and assets. If we let Trump keep hiding his tax returns, it?ll leave unanswered critical questions about his potential conflicts of interest and ties -- or whether he paid taxes at all.

That?s why thousands of Americans, many of them Common Cause members, joined Tax Marches across the country two weeks ago. Now, we must demand that our lawmakers put country before party, and back up their words with action.

This is the ultimate test of whether or not your representative is serious about holding President Trump accountable. We must encourage every member of the House to join this effort -- and if they don?t, their silence will speak volumes.

Together, we?ll get every House member on the record, so voters know if they?re with us in demanding transparency, or with Speaker Ryan in covering for Donald Trump.<https://petitions.signforgood.com/RyanReleaseTrumpTaxes/?code=commoncause>

Thanks for all you do,

Jack Mumby, Digital Organizer
and the team at Common Cause

If your property is one of the many facing foreclosure in Mendocino County, here are some steps to take to postpone the auction. There are ways to delay, but no guarantee.

1.) File a complaint with the office of the Comptroller of the Currency. (OCC). Instructions and links are at www.HOFJ.org<http://www.HOFJ.org>. Inform your foreclosure Trustee's legal dept. about the OCC response so they postpone the auction.

2.) File Notary complaints on each foreclosure document.  Instructions, examples and sample letters available at www.HOFJ.org<http://www.HOFJ.org>. Ask C.J. Holmes (HOFJ at cjholmes.com) to send you a property document list.  The printout may be 3 weeks behind actual recordings so check the Recorders Office.

3.) Please fax (707-578-5873) or scam/email HOFJ at cjholmes.com your foreclosure docs to help build the Suspicious Signature database.  Same names are often signed with different signatures.  This is fraud.

4). Keep informed by watching live or archive at http://new.livestream.com/accounts/2292674 a 1 hour show at 10am Mon-Fri. Archives are stored behind the Icons.

5.) Join Mendocino County home owners at the Recorder's Office in Ukiah.  We want the County to start prosecution of fraudulent foreclosures.

Stand together with us!

I am very excited about the Golden Rule sailing into our Harbor on Sunday June 11th and want to help them with fundraising, go on a sail and have a presentation at Silver's on Tuesday 6/13. They plan to leave Wed 6/14 after some boat tours and possibly another sail out the Harbor.  This is an awesome group of peace warriors, trying to end Nuclear war, and we should wholeheartedly support them.  They need donations from local businesses and groups, and I know Fort Bragg is a community with a big heart so I have high hopes this will go well.  We need to start publicizing, planning and possibly putting together a potluck dinner for the evening of Monday 6/12. Who has a large home or place where we can do this? I will help, who else will step up? Please respond. Ann

Subject: Golden Rule Organizing Notes from 4-14-17

Hi all,

I thought I had sent this out almost 3 weeks ago!!!  But it looks like I didn't (possibly internet connection issues) and I will need feedback soon - so I'm sending this now and will phone Richard and Ann (and possibly Sheila, who maybe doesn't use email?) tomorrow to discuss whether do hold a potluck AND a presentation at Silver's at the Wharf.  Once this is basically settled, I'll send out an article for the press and for newsletters of any organization that would like to know about us.

I copied the notes below AND they are attached as a Word document.

Thank you!
Helen Jaccard
VFP Golden Rule Project Manager
206-992-6364

Dear Golden Rule supporters in Ft. Bragg,

Thanks for meeting with Gerry Condon and me on Saturday April 15 during your Occupy Ft. Bragg meeting!  It was a very productive meeting and we appreciate your time and enthusiasm.

After the meeting, Gerry and I went to the waterfront to look around.  At The Wharf and the restaurant, Silver?s is a very useable dock, good event space, and motel rooms.  Jim Hurst, the owner, has offered us moorage, a hotel room, a place to park the RV (shore support) and a venue for our event (provided that we bring in a lot of people who will eat and drink as part of our visit).

Who was there and roles they offered play when the Golden Rule is in Ft. Bragg June 11 ? 14 (please let us know if we should add people to our future email streams):

?         John Fremont, VFP and founder of the Mendocino County Peace & Justice Center, john at cypresshouse.com<mailto:john at cypresshouse.com> 707-961-0543

?         Bob (Legner?), possible crew member (send crew application to Ann) 707-964-1699

?         Richard Karch*, media, housing, rkarch at mcn.org<mailto:rkarch at mcn.org>, 707-937-0334

?         Irene Malone, can translate literature into Spanish, irenelsm at mcn.org<mailto:irenelsm at mcn.org>, 707-764-1931

?         Charlotte Flum, 707-464-5035

?         Ann (Rediker?)*, Ocean Protection Coalition, media, annxpress at live.com<mailto:annxpress at live.com>, 707-964-1420, cell 707-813-0418

?         Sheila, will help plan potluck, 707-937-1372

?         Helen Jaccard, Veterans For Peace Golden Rule Project Manager, Helen.jaccard at gmail.com<mailto:Helen.jaccard at gmail.com>, 206-992-6364

?         Gerry Condon, VFP Golden Rule Project President, VFP Board of Directors member, projectsafehaven at hotmail.com<mailto:projectsafehaven at hotmail.com>, 206-499-1220
* Key Contact ? Richard and Ann will be our key contact for the Golden Rule at Ft. Bragg

What do you think of having a public presentation and dinner with the crew at Silver?s at The Wharf?  If we do that, should we also plan a smaller, more intimate potluck like we had in 2015?  I?m hoping that we have a more broad community outreach for the public presentation and dinner than we would have for the potluck; but I need your advice.

In talking with the manager of Silver?s, we agreed that Tuesday June 13 is the best evening for the public event.  That will be our last evening in Ft. Bragg, so if we ran into bad weather or other problems leaving Humboldt Bay, we?d have a couple of days leeway before the event.

Jim Hurst also put me in touch with the Ft. Bragg Rotary Club and they have invited us to speak at their June 14 meeting at noon at Silver?s.

If we accept these offers, here is a possible schedule ? I?m looking for feedback before we proceed.

Date

Time

Activity

Sun 6-11

2 pm

Arrive at The Wharf in Noyo Harbor.

Mon 6-12

12 - 4 pm

Greet press, boat tours and if possible take people sailing: short sails, about an hour, up to 6 guests at a time.  Call Helen to make a reservation.



6 ? 8:30 pm

Potluck and short presentation(s) at someone?s home ? this would be casual, mostly by invitation, small number of people, maybe especially those who can?t come Tuesday, similar to 2015 event

Tue 6-13

10 am ? 4 pm

Boat tours and if possible take people sailing



6 ? 7 pm

Dinner at Silver?s with the crew ? up to 60 people



7  pm

Presentation and discussion at Silver?s ? this is the formal public event that we?ll advertise.

Wed 6-14

10 am ? noon

Boat tours and if possible take people sailing



Noon ? 1 pm

Presentation to Rotary Club at Silver's



4:00 PM

Depart














Next steps:
1)       Agree on schedule
2)       Potluck ? what time, who can host, who to invite, other speaker(s) ? Sheila, could you put together a planning team?
3)       Outreach / press:
a.       Create flyer ? Gerry and Helen will send a draft, and there needs to be room for sponsor names / logos (see below)
b.      Create an article for local newsletters, newspapers, magazines ? Gerry and Helen will draft
c.       Create a public service announcement for radio ? Gerry will draft
d.      Develop press list ? Richard (I have a start on one to send you)
4)       Sponsors:
The Golden Rule only sails with donations ? we don?t have a foundation or major donors supporting us right now, so we need to reach out before and during our educational events.  In this way, we make the voyage self-sustaining and address funding up front rather than as an afterthought.  By doing this, we have been self-sustaining during the voyage for each of the past two sailing seasons.
a.        What individuals, organizations or businesses would like to sponsor the Golden Rule?s visit?  At least $100 (or in-kind donation) to sponsor.  We will send out a ?Plank Owner Certificate?, put their name / logo on outreach materials and say thank-you to each sponsor during the program.
b.      In-kind donations (dock, hotel room, event space, RV parking are being offered by Jim Hurst, owner of The Wharf).  We could use fuel, groceries, wine, beer, printing (flyers, fact sheets, brochures), and crew meals.
5)       Ideas of who to contact:

a.       Indigenous tribes, Japanese Americans, Quakers, Unitarians, environmental, climate change, peace and justice groups, yacht and sailing clubs, historical societies, museums ? especially maritime museums, National Association of Atomic Veterans, politicians, senior centers, youth centers and other organizations have supported us.

b.      Maritime businesses, harbor districts, fuel docks, restaurants, grocery stores, breweries and wineries could support us with non-cash donations.

6)      Develop program for formal presentation:

a.       Indigenous welcome

b.      Golden Rule ? history, current and future voyages

c.       Nuclear Issues and actions you can take

d.      One or two other speakers on issues of local importance

Explaining Trump in 

Adelaide Australia

 


While walking down the street one day a Member of Parliament is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter.
'Before you settle in,  it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'

'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.

'Well, I'd like to, but I  have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'

'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP.

'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it  are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress.. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises....

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

'Now it's time to visit heaven.'

So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group  of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing.  They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by  and St. Peter returns.

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and  another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'

The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it  before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his  shoulder. ' I don't understand,'  stammers the MP.

'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. 

What happened? '

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, ' Yesterday we were campaigning..... 

Today you voted!

Some congressional Republicans are promoting recusal as well. But, recusal is not enough. It still situates the investigation inside Trump?s compromised, corrupt executive branch. Recent news shows that Obama administration officials were so concerned that Trump?s team would bury or destroy evidence about Russian election hacking that they went to extraordinary steps to protect and distribute it.3 As threats to the legitimacy of his presidency mounts, Trump will only try harder to cover up his ties to Russia.

> The swamp: Do Trump?s cabinet members and advisers with deep ties to Russia, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Wilbur Ross, Paul Manafort and Carter Page, have obligations or ties that might pose a conflict of interest?

Subject: Help me spread the word about suspending Jared Kushner's security clearance!


Hello fellow concerned citizen,

Thank you for signing my petition to suspend Jared Kushner's top-secret security clearance.

When I started this petition two weeks ago, we already knew that Jared Kushner had failed to disclose multiple meetings he had with foreign agents, including Russians, while working on the Trump campaign and transition teams.

Since then, we have learned about conflicts of interest Jared Kushner also failed to disclose on his security questionnaire.

We've further learned that Jared Kushner's family will use his role in the White House as a presidential advisor to entice investors with the promise of visas, should they choose to invest $500,000 in a Kushner project.

Jared Kushner, at the very least, needs to have his top-secret security clearance suspended until such time as he publicly and completely discloses all meetings he had with foreign agents during the campaign and transition and all conflicts of interest.  He should also be prosecuted for giving false information on his security questionnaire which is a felony that carries a maximum five year prison sentence.

With your help, we've already reached people who care deeply about this issue and want the White House to know that we are going to hold them accountable.

But if we are going to have an impact, it's critical that we get 500,000 signatures before we deliver the petition to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Background Investigations Bureau.

With your help, we can reach our goal!

Can you please share this link with five of your friends right now: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/suspend-jared-kushners-1?m<http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/suspend-jared-kushners-1?mailing_id=37738&source=s.icn.em.cr&r_by=504833>

AVOID THE SPILL, STOP THE DRILL!<http://click.surfrider.org/e/328911/o-expand-offshore-oil-drilling/f2x/3051017>

The Trump administration signed an executive order to open up our coasts to offshore oil drilling. Our ocean, waves and beaches are vital recreational, economic and ecological treasures that hundreds of communities, thousands of businesses and millions of citizens rely on for their jobs and livelihoods. We cannot allow our ocean ecosystems to be destroyed by drilling off our coasts. We've fought and won against offshore oil drilling before and it's time to do it again. Find out how you can take action and defend our coasts!

Medicare Beneficiaries? High Out-of-Pocket Costs: Cost Burdens by Income and Health Status
By Cathy Schoen, Karen Davis, Amber Willink

Abstract

Issue:  Fifty-six million people ? 17 percent of the U.S. population ? rely on Medicare. Yet, its benefits exclude dental, vision, hearing, and long-term services, and it contains no ceiling on out-of-pocket costs for covered services, exposing beneficiaries to high costs.

Goal:  To inform discussion of possible changes to Medicare, this issue brief looks at beneficiaries? out-of-pocket costs by income and health status.

Methods:  Spending estimates based on the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey.

Findings and Conclusion:  More than one-fourth of all Medicare beneficiaries ? 15 million people ? spend 20 percent or more of their incomes on premiums plus medical care, including cost-sharing and uncovered services. Beneficiaries with incomes below 200 percent of the poverty level (just under $24,000 for a single person) and those with multiple chronic conditions or functional limitations are at significant financial risk. Overall, beneficiaries spent an average of $3,024 per year on out-of-pocket costs. Financial burdens and access gaps highlight the need to approach reform with caution. Already-high burdens suggest restructuring cost-sharing to ensure affordability and to provide relief for low-income beneficiaries.

From the Summary and Implications

The high financial burdens documented in this brief illustrate the need for caution. Half of Medicare beneficiaries have low incomes; one-third have modest incomes (200% to 399% of poverty). Any potential policy should first consider the impact on beneficiaries.

Access and affordability remain key concerns. In any discussions of potential Medicare reform, it will be important to pay particular attention to consequences for those vulnerable because of poor health or low income. Indeed, the findings point to the need to limit out-of-pocket costs and enhance protection for low-income or sicker beneficiaries.

Comment by Don McCanne

Although President Trump has said that he is going to leave Medicare alone, we have learned that he is not a reliable source for information about pending policy changes. The Republicans controlling Congress have indicated that they want to reduce projected spending on Medicare by privatizing it and switching to vouchers (premium support) in order to ratchet down the government?s contribution to the program. So what does this report tell us about the wisdom of their intentions?

Medicare is already an inadequate program. Instead of cutting the Medicare budget further we should be expanding it to fill in the deficiencies that are leaving Medicare beneficiaries exposed to excessive debt.

The full article available at the link above discusses programs that are used to patch some of the holes, but just as patches are inadequate for the Affordable Care Act, patches have also been inadequate for Medicare, just as this report demonstrates.

We need a Medicare that meets the much higher standards of the ?Physicians? Proposal for Single-Payer Health Care Reform,? and then we need to enroll everyone in it automatically. That?s why we talk about an Improved Medicare for All.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Minutes of May 6, 2017 Meeting
Message-ID: <CY1PR16MB0281BD0297AE72D745A727C0DDE30@CY1PR16MB0281.namprd16.prod.outlook.com>

Present: John, Richard, Irene, Daniel, Bob, Ann, John, Sheila, Guests Chris Rennacker, Leslie (potential webmaster), Margaret (Banking experience)

- May Day Event- well publicized but sparsely attended, perhaps because of timing and Day of week wrong.  SEIU Union members came and led a March, with a chant on the Bullhorn which was very effective and fun.  We went back to Bainbridge Park and shared a lot of good snacks and sack lunches, heard music be Richard and his friend, had an open Mic for speakers and it was good even though the day was very windy.  Many flyers were given out at the Earthday March but not many came to this March.  Next year we will not plan an event in the middle of the week - even though there is a bad economy, Union have been taken aback by employers, Privatization is moving in. But SEIU was very good and they are asking the City of FB to raise the pay of employees.

- John has a film 'Crazy' about the mental health crisis, which our County is privatizing in spite of the boondoggle with Ortner last year.  Sheriff Allman tried to get a bill passed to turn Howard Hospital in Willits into a mental care facility, but it lost on the election by a slim margin.  The County spends millions to outsource mental health because they do not want to deal with it here and they laid off most mental health workers, are using the remote "doc in a box" system in jails and hospitals, and want to send critical patients out of County.  As many homeless are in crisis, the Hospitality Center at the Old Coast Hotel is a mental health assessment center, and their grant was $1.2 Million but the services to clients is poor and the management is even poorer.  The City is cracking down and now is being sued by the Hospitality Center, but will not disclose the status of negotiations with their lawyers.  More will be revealed, hopefully.  Margaret was in SF when they integrated patients/prisoners and had everything outsourced. Sheila wants to put together a legal resource team. John notes that it all comes down to money for the officials. Telepsychiatry is cheaper than doctors seeing patients in hospitals, but it does not work effectively.  Margaret attributes it to very political "brain tripping" that is happening now. John wants to talk with James Marmon, a former County mental health professional who spoke out but now is very quiet. Richard mentioned Sonya Nesch, an advocate for patients who does the "Love in action" forums and meets with Hospitality House people.

- July 2 is a Sunday, and Annie Feeney will do a fundraiser in Mendocino if we do publicity, arrange the place - Richard says Mendocino Community Center is available. Annie has good C/Ds she can sell, and we need to sell 25 tickets at $25 each at minimum, we can split 60/40 if we sell more.

- 4th of July Parade - we don't know the theme yet, but traditionally we march with all the progressive and activist groups and Sheila will call Carrie Durkee.  Bob has his truck running and is willing for us to decorate it, use our Banner and signs, we will keep it more simple this year.

- The Golden Rule is set to sail into Noyo Harbor Sunday 6/11 around 2pm, and on Monday 6/12  we will help host a potluck with the community activists, at a location to be determined.  There will be a presentation at Silver's at the Wharf on Tue 6/13 with beer, wine, food. They will talk about their peace mission, activities, show tours of the sailboat, give boat rides out the Harbor while here. They are on a trip down the entire California Coast. They depart for the trip 6/14.

- We discussed doing a monthly film event at KNYO radio station. Bob has a film 'Gassed' about alcohol fuel. Margaret has a list of films about the economic recession 'Inside Job', 'Big Short', 'Heist' are 3 good ones.  Do publicity to get people to join us in watching films.

- Finances: In the P&J account we have $1,346 in savings and $356 in checking, but Sheila paid Mendo Litho for posters since January and Jesse has the other account for O/M in her name, so Sheila will do a Treasury report next meeting.

- Sheila wants a new Webmaster, and Leslie came to our meeting at her invitation.  She is unsure about us as yet, Mark Safron knows providers and details so John will contact him.  We need to ask Annie Feeney about her production poster so we can publicize the 6/2 event.

- John brought up the concern about private prisons in America, where they are more prevalent than in any other Country in the world and enrich some by incarcerating them for low level crimes and charging exorbitant rates for concessions, phone calls, bail, trial dates, fees of all sorts. They prey on the poor and impoverish those they target. Attorney General Sessions is ramping up the war on drugs, which never worked. And Immigration is related as well. We must get rid of the resent dirty administration to change this. Impeachment seems to be more likely than ever if the Republicans had the courage to stand up for Country over Party.

> Welcome to the May/June edition of the Fellow Travelers' Advisory.  This is the best way that I know to keep in touch with all the folks I know.  I'm so grateful to all the friends, family, followers, folkies and fellow travelers who support my work and make my life possible. The "reply" function works, so please let me know what you're up to - especially if you have news my 10,000 subscribers would be interested in. For example, last month my faithful subscriber, Barbara Lebeau, wrote to request a larger font.  VOILA! 
> As you can see from my tour schedule below, it's going to be a busy summer starting in FIVE DAYS -  If you're in or around Austin at 3PM on Sunday, May 21st, make a beeline to the air-conditioned Saxon Pub.  I played there first in 1990! This time I'll be joined by FABULOUS musicians who played on my new benefit/tribute CD 'WAR ON THE WORKERS' - available for purchase or download at cdbaby.com/all/unionmaid  Join me, the Hot Nut Riveters, Oliver Steck and more at 3PM, Sunday May 21, at the Saxon Pub!  You'll leave energized, inspired and uplifted!!!

I've gotten a holder that will display my backlit lyrics on my iPad so that I can jettison all my patter about forgetting lyrics and just sing the songs!  This too has a steep learning curve for me, so if anyone coming to Kerrville knows about iPads and Forscore, PLEASE help me to get this system up and runing!

Secret Republican Senate Talks Are Shaping Health Care Legislation
By Susan Davis

The Senate is negotiating its own legislation to repeal and replace much of the Affordable Care Act in secret talks with senators hand-picked by party leaders and with no plans for committee hearings to publicly vet the bill.

Most Republicans see no political advantage to attempting to craft bipartisan legislation that could aid vulnerable Red State Senate Democrats heading in to the midterm elections. In other words, there is mutual disinterest in bipartisanship when it comes to the fundamentals of Obamacare.

The GOP health care talks are expected to roll through the summer months in the Senate. The long-term strategy ? according to senior GOP aides in both the House and Senate ? is to pass a Senate bill and send it back to the House for an up-or-down vote.

Hope You Don?t Expect The Senate GOP To Be Transparent About Obamacare Repeal
By Jonathan Cohn

House leaders wrote legislation privately and then pushed it through the two committees of jurisdiction with markup sessions that lasted just one day each. Leaders had to pull the bill from the House floor at the last minute, because it lacked enough support to pass, but their response was to return to private negotiations, hash out the additional amendments, and then proceed quickly with the final vote.

Of course that was precisely what House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and his allies were trying to accomplish ? to avoid public scrutiny, to get legislation through the House before either the media or the public could recognize and seize on its shortcomings. Now it looks like Senate Republicans are intent upon doing the same thing.

Democrats are furious, in part because most of them were around in 2009 and 2010 when they spent more than a year writing and debating what eventually became the Affordable Care Act. For all of the discussion that took place behind closed doors back then, quite a lot took place in public ? over the course of more than 130 hearings, spanning five committees, according to a Democratic tally that didn?t even include administration events like the daylong, bipartisan session at Blair House that President Barack Obama presided over personally.

The deciding factor could be public reaction, but the public can?t react to a bill unless it gets a good look at it. It appears Republican leaders are trying not to let that happen.

Comment by Don McCanne

Health policy is difficult enough for the public to understand without our politicians going behind closed doors to hash it out. As Jonathan Cohn states, ?The deciding factor could be public reaction, but the public can?t react to a bill unless it gets a good look at it.?

Polls do show that the public is reacting favorably to the policy features of single payer. They understand that an improved Medicare for all would bring each of them essential health care that is affordable and that allows free choice of health care professionals and hospitals. Many even believe that health care should be a right, but they don?t have to believe that as long as they themselves can be assured of life-long affordable access to essential health care services.

Maybe someone should slip under the Senators? door the Physicians? Proposal, so that they can take a good look at it in privacy.

Dear friends,

   I am very excited about the upcoming visit by the historic Golden Rule, the small Veterans for Peace sailboat that is launching on a mission to go down the Coast of California to pass the message to stop Nuclear War.  It was the world's first peace boat, and the inspiration for Greenpeace.  The Golden Rule started bringing worldwide attention to the U.S. nuclear bomb testing in 1958 in the South Pacific, and the poisonous radiation was spreading around the world.  The boat was pulled from the bottom of Humboldt Bay and restored by the Veterans for Peace some years ago, and now they go on regular peace missions.  They were here two years ago, and we had a potluck for them at Char's house.  I would like to do another potluck, maybe at a larger venue but still an informal setting where our activists, peacemakers, Ocean lovers, community and  others who are interested can mingle and help support their cause.  The Veterans for Peace in Eureka restored this sailboat and they lead Peace Action Camps, give sailing training, and advocate for an end to the Nuclear madness that threatens our world.  A large house like the Tarbell's would be great.  Or we could use the Trinity Church Hall.

Timeline:

 6/11: The Golden Rule sails into Noyo Harbor on Sunday June 11th around 2pm, and they will give folks boat tours and will dock at Silver's.

 6/12:  On Monday daytime they will give folks tours and even sail out of the Harbor!   Our potluck will be that evening, Monday 7/12.

 6/13:  More boat tours, greeting locals, sailing trips, and in the evening a reception at Silver's with a presentation of their mission to the public asking for donations.

 6/14:  The last day here, they will leave sometime in the afternoon.

The Golden Rule trip needs promos, donations of items for the trip like Thanksgiving coffee, Brewery beer, Roundman Smokehouse items, etc.  They are not a
401(C)3 so they fund their missions with donations.  As our community is very generous, I believe we can be gracious hosts for this group.  They sponsor Peace Camps and give sailing lessons.  Their iconic sailboat has been working to reduce and eventually eliminate all Nuclear Weapons. For more information go to www.vfpgoldenruleproject.org<http://www.vfpgoldenruleproject.org>

> 
> Today, U.S. Senator Kamala D. Harris, a member of the Senate Committee on the Budget, released the following statement in response to President Trump?s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2018.
> 
> 
> ?At its core, this budget is a cruel betrayal of the middle class and threatens our ability to ensure basic public safety, public health, and public education. This budget makes clear the values of this Administration: it prioritizes those at the top, while leaving working families and the middle class high and dry.
> 
> 
> ?It reduces taxes for the wealthiest Americans while taking away Social Security for disabled Americans and tax credits for families with children. It gives corporations tax breaks while eliminating resources for students trying to pay for college. It spends billions of dollars on a wall that won't work, while cutting access to health care and initiatives to cure cancer.
> 
> 
> "I will stand up, speak out, and fight against this budget at every turn just as I will fight against this Administration?s efforts to strip health care from millions. We are better than this.?
> 
> 
> Budget Impact on California:
> 
> 
> Eliminates federal funding for 51 community action programs in California that provide thousands of low-income Californians emergency food, shelter, heating assistance, transportation and health care.
> 
> Reduces ?Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act? funding by more than $1.3 billion ? resulting in more than 436,000 Californians potentially losing access to job training and employment services.
> 
> Cuts $357 million in Community Development Block Grants that provide California funding for affordable housing, transportation, and economic development.
> 
> Makes college more expensive by eliminating grants to over 201,000 California students through the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program.
> 
> Kicks 132,700 students in California off after-school programs by eliminating the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program.
> 
> Eliminates the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program which provides heating, cooling, or weatherization assistance to 219,000 California families.
> 
> Denies assistance to 23,400 California families for affordable housing which would put them at immediate risk of eviction and homelessness by slashing federal rental assistance programs, including Section 8 housing vouchers.
> 
> Ends the federal funding that the airports in Crescent City, El Centro, Merced, and Visalia receive under the Essential Air Service program to ensure that smaller, underserved communities have commercial air service.
> 
> Cuts Head Start by $101 million in California, which would throw 11,030 children off high-quality child care and early education.
> 
> Eliminates the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Training program.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

South Coast People For Peace And Justice will hold a Memorial Day Peace Demonstration  on Monday, May 29, in front of the old Gualala Post Office at 12 noon.   We invite everyone to join us in standing for Peace, an end to all ongoing wars and occupations, and to bring our troops home and take care of them when they return with proper healthcare, housing, education, jobs and whatever else they need to re-enter society and live fruitful lives.
If we truly Support Our Troops, then we MUST work for PEACE!
Let's spend our over-inflated military budget on helping and healing and taking care of our planet and ALL people, and end all killing and wars, drones and nuclear weapons, and militarism in our country and around the world., including the militarization of the police.

Let's honor the dead from past and present wars, soldiers and innocent civilians, by ENDING ALL WARS and working towards Peace and Justice for All in our county and the world.

Please bring signs, flags, musical instruments, drums, your friends and neighbors and please join us on Monday, May 29th at noon in front of the old Gualala Post Office, downtown Gualala. We hope to see you there. All are welcome.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Minutes of May 20, 2017 Meeting
Message-ID: <CY1PR16MB0281E642912008C446F53FF7DDF30@CY1PR16MB0281.namprd16.prod.outlook.com>

- Present: Sheila, Barbara, Daniel, Ann, guest Sonya Nesch, advocate for mental health services.

- Sheila read the rules of Occupy meetings to Sonya.

- Sonya came to update us on the progress of Mental Health programs in Mendocino County and Fort Bragg.  There are positive changes happening; as of 7/1/16 the Redwood Community Services took over from Ortner and the County kept the medication control.  Hopefully Redwood will take over medication in the future.  Now it is part of the County Behavioral Health system.  The website has statistics at the end of mental health that tell more.  The Redwood Services is trying to hire competent people, but there is a dreadful lack of affordable housing in Fort Bragg so some people who wanted to apply as clinicians and specialists could not move here.  As of March 21 when there is a crisis, patients can go to the Management at Redwood Community Services.  On June 7 Camille Schrader will be at the meeting at the Police Department to discuss issues.  The Fort Bragg Office manager hired Lisa Burtis, who is very experienced.  She is setting up a comprehensive program for the Coast at the building at 544 So Main Street. One side of the office building will be a Day Program and the other side will be education.  It is called the "Healthy Living Center".  There is a new chiropractor named Micah Ries who uses biofeedback to balance the right and left sides of the brain with good results.  The County could get a grant to help people with addictions, PTSD, bi-polar disorders and cravings using the biofeedback methods.  This gives people a choice of treatments so they can find out what works for them.  There are 3 buildings in the County that were proposed for housing for the mentally ill homeless in a 1.3 Million grant, but the presentation was a turn-off for the Board of Supervisors and the City planners, so no one took up the grant process.  The man from the County who presents the program needs to tailor his presentation to emphasize affordable housing, not necessarily for the terminally mentally ill.  Medical help on the Coast is needed - a psychiatrist sees 120 children and has now expanded to see adults! There are openings on the Mental Health Advisory Board.  The services at the Hospitality Center at the Old Coast Hotel are now done by RCS, but there is not a good reporting of progress at this time and there have been complaints.  Hopefully things will improve with the new Wellness Center.

- The Veterans for Peace sailboat 'Golden Rule' sails into the Harbor Sunday 6/11 around 2pm, give boat tours then and the next day, and on Mon 6/12 at 6pm Occupy and OPC will host a community potluck. On Tues 6/13 after a day of boat tours and possibly sail tours, at 6pm there will be a Reception at Silver's.  The VFP need donations of money and supplies - we can ask Thanksgiving Coffee, Roundman's Smokehouse, the Brewery, Down Home Foods and other local merchants to pony up, as well as folks giving money gifts.  The Golden Rule will sail down the Coast of California all summer, ending up in San Diego by the end of August.  Their mission is to stop Nuclear War, which is more urgent than ever with the buildup of our military, and threats from Russia, China, North Korea and America'f Trump administration.

- Caltrans called Sheila about renewing our commitment to Highway Cleanup for the next 5 years.  We can keep doing our Caspar area for as long as possible, and if we decide we cannot do it any more we will tell them later.

- 4th of July Parade is something we want to do but we will keep it simple, with the use of Bob's truck, our Banner on the side, and simple decorations. More plans at a later meeting.

- The Fort Bragg Library is planning an expansion project.  The Friends of the Library bought the property adjoining the current Library, and it is a double lot so they can have off street parking as well as a 5,000 foot extention with a large auditorium, more media, show movies and host programs there.  Can be 2 stories.

They are planning a benefit with the Flynn Creek Circus on Fri 9/1 at 7pm, as well as their Labor Day Booksale.  Need to advertise.

- The idea for Movie night at KNYO radio station will be tabled for a future discussion.  We have several good films in mind.

- Street protest signs getting worn - we have been using them for a long time and the same issues prevail.  We can fix them up after this meeting.

Meeting adjourned 4pm.
