Protect The 1st Amendment - Mr. Rooter Wants To Take It Away!

My online petition, Boycott Mr. Rooter's Unethical Business Practices!, is the most concise summary of the injustices inflicted upon myself, my Mother, and the public as a whole.

I am looking for support in order to raise the retainer necessary in order to be able to secure representation and protect my 1st Amendment right to present truthful, accurate, fact-supported information to the public for consideration, in addition to sharing my own opinions and conclusions about the information being provided.

I believe that the Plaintiffs and their lawyer are seeking tort reform - where businesses behaving in a dishonest and unethical manner can successfully sue their victims in court in order to do the following: 1) extort more money from their victims and/or 2) silence one's 1st Amendment right to provide accurate information and share one's opinions and conclusions.

Businesses should NOT be permitted to use the courts to bully their victims into silence to cover up their unethical business practices.  At the same time, consumers should not be permitted to false statements that harm a business' reputation.   

For a $10,000 retainer and a minimum projected estimate of $40,000 to defend, my Mother would have likely been successful in recovering some, if not the full, amount of the three contracts due to the misrepresentation, breach of contract, and property damage; thus, proving my statements are not defamatory.

Unfortunately, Mr. Rooter and their lawyer, John Linkosky, intentionally left the lawsuit lay dormant so that my Mother's statue of limitations would run out.  I believe that if the Allegheny Court of Common Pleas never initated a permanent termination of the suit, then it would still be sitting there....inactive.  

IF MR. ROOTER AND THEIR LAWYER, JOHN LINKOSKY, ARE SUCCESSFUL DUE TO A MISTAKE I MAKE DURING THE PROCESS (NOT AN ISSUE OF MERIT), THEN ALL CONSUMERS WILL LOOSE THEIR RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES AND FORM CONSUMER BOYCOTTS TO PUT PRESSURE ON BUSINESSES TO ACT ETHICALLY.  

Considering my initial experience with Mr. Rooter lasted from December 24, 2011-December 30, 2011, 2 times immediately after work was completed to address sewage backups that the contracted work was supposed to address and didn't, a lie from Robert A. Beall claiming that he was going to address when he returned from Florida where he did not honor his claim, a letter from the lawyer which were based on the lies told by Robert A. Beall and his employees - the ones he sent to our home with guilty pleas of theft (makes perfect sense, though), catching them in the Angie's List false advertising scenerio still an issue today, learning about Robert A. Beall's criminal record for assaulting his neighbor and costing him HomeAdvisor screened and approved status, catching them stealing leads from Mr. Rooter when they called me back as Rooter Champion complete with voicemail and I called the number they called me on as Rooter Champion where they answered as Mr. Rooter, etc...Links to more details can be found at: Boycott Mr. Rooter's Unethical Business Practices!

Above, I have included a YouTube link where, somehow, unpublished reviews were revealed to me when I was on their website and gone after I recorded them; however, it is an example of how corporate claims that they value their customers and are not afraid of dissent; yet, they blatantly ignore both positive and negative reviews received at their website about their Mr. Rooter franchise locations.  They used to moderate them, but now it appears that they don't even bother to approve any comments on their corporate social media sites.  This is an example of intentional, public DECEPTION.  

Support for Jacob

Last weekend, our friend Jacob was arrested following an incident with his family. He is being held in prison on a $100,000 bond and facing some pretty serious charges. I don't know the details of what happened that night, but I do know and love Jacob, and I set up this fund to help him with his legal defense.

Jacob had been doing well lately - he's been working full time building sunrooms for the past 4-5 months and caring for his daughter and her half siblings. But as we know, Jacob is a young man full of potential who comes from a traumatic past. His relationship with his family is extremely complicated and at times a source of great pain. He is dedicated to working on healing from the trauma of his past, but he won't be able to do that sitting in a jail cell for years.

Jacob has been assigned a public defender, but if we know anything about our country's court system, the odds are stacked against young Black men, and public defenders are often overworked and underpaid. Jacob needs someone who can fully invest time and attention in advocating for him. I've been in touch with a lawyer who comes highly recommended by people I trust, and he's willing to offer a discount - but I need some help. I am hoping some of you may be willing/able to pitch in what you can. All money raised will go to Jacob's defense - either to the lawyer (who has agreed to work with Jacob for $3,500) or to commodities Jacob will need as he waits for his trial (in prison, inmates have to purchase basic necessities like soap, deodorant, etc. - and every 15 minute phone call Jacob makes from prison costs him $3).

Please note that I am sharing this with people who know and love Jacob. You can definitely share this with others who may be interested in helping, but in respect for Jacob's privacy, I ask you not to share too broadly/publically.

One bad night shouldn't dictate the rest of Jacob's life. Let's help him get a fair chance at trial.

Return Kortny back to his family so he can continue being a man of God

Kortny is a born again Christian, veteran, father, man of nature, holistic and preventative medicine.  He only began growing cannabis to treat his medicinal needs for PTSD, anxiety, and back pain. He also wanted to provide medical relief for patients such as elderly and cancer sufferers.  

He was arrested sept 12 and charged with a felony for manufacturing a controlled substance which is extracting the medicinal properties from the plant. Another felony for growing cannabis. This is all legal in California where he lives only his public defender refuses to provide his 420 recreational licence and only wishes to convict him. 

He needs a lawyer who will help provide the evidence necessary to get this case dropped. Please help return Kortny to his daughter and fiance who are now homeless due to the circumstances.  This was brought on by their vindictive landlord who also has a 420 rec and was one of his patients. She evicted the whole family due to irradical demands and in attempt to black male him for refusing to help her murder her vegetable husband.  He wishes to leave justice against her in God's hands, but needs to be proven innocent for himself.

Whistleblowing - Would You Take the Risk?

My name is Jim Kane, and I am now labeled as a ‘whistleblower.’

Am I proud of my actions? Absolutely!

Has it changed my life? Without a doubt!

Would I do it again? I’m not so sure.

The impact of my decision to blow the whistle on my employer is far greater than I ever expected. As a hardworking man with high standards, a 16-year history with the Armed Services, and a family service legacy that dates back to the founding of the United States, I have always been an advocate of truth and justice. 

However, after I blew the whistle on wrongdoings in my place of employment, it didn’t take long before I acquired the dubious label of ‘whistleblower,’ which as you probably already know, is construed as a ‘troublemaker.’ Leadership immediately began taking steps to silence me and force me into compliance ‘or else.’ I was treated as an outcast – a pariah – instead of recognized for my courage.

What is a whistleblower?

A whistleblower is a person who reports knowledge of illegal activities that occur within an organization. Whistleblowers can be employees, suppliers, contractors, clients or anyone that becomes aware of unlawful activities taking place, generally within their workplace.  (Investopedia)

Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation under various federal programs, but they often face very difficult hurdles to prove what they know. Unfortunately, I can’t give you all the details because my case is still pending – but I will share the basics.

My hope is that your support will help defray my legal expenses as I fight what turned into my wrongful discharge.

Here is what I can tell you:

During the last 18 months of my employment with a large government agency, I filed an Office of Special Counsel complaint regarding prohibited employment practices, an age-based EEO complaint, and a fraud, waste, and abuse complaint with the Inspector General. These filings were highly credible and were based on activities that represented one or more of the following legal violations:

• Gross mismanagement: substantial risk of significant adverse impact on mission
• Gross waste of funds: more than a debatable expenditure
• Abuse of authority: an arbitrary decision for personal gain and/or to injure others
• A substantial and specific danger to public health or safety

According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the law forbids retaliation when it comes to any aspect of employment (including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment).

However, despite my 16-year career of good performance, no previous disciplinary actions, and over 30 years in the industry of design and construction, the agency’s leadership quickly removed me from service within a few months of my filings and just two months after another acceptable year of service as stated in my annual review.

In the end, even when I agreed to comply with the conditions they set before me, they decided to remove me anyway with a different charge leveled on me at the last minute with no due-process. The bottom line is – they were all aware of these protected "whistleblower" activities, and on November 25, 2015, I was fired from federal service after taking a stand against what I believe were unlawful acts of fraud, waste, and abuse  within a government agency.

My 16-year career of good performance and no previous disciplinary actions meant nothing, and my reputation was destroyed.

After they removed me from my job, I had 30 days to file an appeal. In December 2015, I hired an attorney, and we filed my appeal through the Merit System Protection Board (MSPB). The MSPB accepted my appeal, and my hearing was completed in April 2016.

This appeal process has already cost me my life's savings and has created much hardship for my family and me. I have exhausted all my cash reserves, sought work without success, and am now faced with an attorney's fee of more than $65,000.

The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 was enacted to protect federal workers who report misconduct in the government. However, despite that, it’s not easy road for a whistleblower.

2011 National Business Ethics Survey titled ‘Retaliation: When Whistleblowers Become Victims.’ The report contains some shocking statistics:

• 45% of US workers observed wrongdoing;
• 65% of those who witnessed wrongdoing reported it;
• 22% of those who reported wrongdoing said they experienced retaliation (an increase of 46% from 2009); and
• 46% of those who observed wrongdoing but chose not to report it, cited fear of retaliation as the reason.

I've found out the hard way that whistleblowing is much harder than simply identifying a problem and going to the authorities for help. It is expensive! I’ve also learned that it’s difficult for a man who is nearly 60 to find a job, especially when he was fired from a federal job.

I need your help as I stand up against a bureaucratic Goliath!!

If you are concerned about the fraud, waste, and abuse that are taking place in your US government, I ask you to contribute what you can to help me score a victory over this illegal conduct. Please click here to make your contribution; every dollar helps!

Thank you!

Wicked ex step Mother

Hello my name is Donna. My father passed away November 5th 2015. I am his first child from his first marriage. I also have a half sister named Cynthia. My father was divorced from Cynthia's mother in 1982. They continued to live together until my fathers death. After that she attempted to evict my sister from the house that was bought for her in 1984. She has lied about their marital status on all legal documents(death certificate) she has harassed Cynthia and made her life hell. I recently moved in with my sister due to husband dieing and being left homeless. We lived in families building. We recently consulted a lawyer and he said we have an easy case to win. My sister works for the post office but has been strapped with bills. We need $1000 by end of week. His will is in probate so time is of the essence. Neither one of us received notification of the probate in time.

Thank You

Life Jacket Needed to Stay Afloat Financially

My husband asked for a divorce in April of 2015 while he was out of town working for eleven months.  While he enjoyed a care free life, living off of per diem and enjoying the southern coast, I remained at home and took care of the house. He has dragged out the legal proceedings for 16 months  by ignoring repeated requests for information  All the while running up my legal fees  

I retained counsel at a discounted rate through my employer, but even with the discount, my legal fees have surpassed $7,500. I know that doesn't sound like that much, but when my annual income is just under $30,000/year, that is a substantial bill.  His annual income is approximately $85,000/year 

I assisted my attorney in researching my case and saved approximately half of what her fees would have been if she had to do all of the research herself.  She constantly thanked me for my assistance and commented how I should really have a job doing research. 

I live in a small town with limited employment opportunities. I am constantly looking to better my financial situation by researching and applying for telecommuting / telework openings throughout the United States and Canada. 

Thank you for taking the time to read about my situation.

Trying to do whats best for the girls.

Single Mom of 4 little girls. I cannot continue to afford my attorney and their Dad is trying to obtain full custody of the girls to get out of child support. He was physically and mentally abusive to me over the course of 13 years and once separated the girls seemed happier. We separated back April 15th, 2016 and until recent months everything was safe. Then in the last few months there have been a few occasions where the girls had marks on them from their Dad. It breaks my heart and am only trying to do whats best for the girls. I am fighting for their Dad to get help with his anger so that the girls can be safe around their Dad. However in fighting for that, the attorney has understandably gone thru the 5,000 dollar retainer fee plus some with no end in site. In order to keep the fight and protect the girls, I need to continue to be capable of paying the attorney. Every last few hundred dollars I have from my biweekly paychecks are going towards the attorney but its being spent at much quicker rate than what I can make.

Can you spare just a dollar?

Hi, friend. Can you help me with just one dollar? 

My name is RoseMarie. For over 30 years, I successfully ran and operated my own small business while raising three sons on my own.  The last thing I ever expected to do was create a crowdfunding page.  And it's very hard for me to ask anyone, especially strangers, for money or help. But, I find myself in that position now and a friend suggested I try crowdfunding.

At 59 years old, I'm still outrunning SLE/MCTD, survived two strokes, three heart attacks, numerous surgeries, a burst appendix, peritonitis, and a rare cancer. Even so, SSA says I don't qualify for SSDI. It's easy to see that any money I had was spent on health care. Now, I need to survive divorce without ending up homeless.

My adulterous husband deserted me 10 years ago after giving me diseases that cost me those surgeries I mentioned and several internal body parts, and now he has decided it's time to divorce me to make an honest woman of his paramour. He hired an A1 attorney knowing I don't have the funds to pay a lawyer. It’s terrifying walking into a courtroom without an attorney. I'm a very frugal person. I had a home that I paid off all by myself before we married 20 years ago and that he cajoled me into selling, and need to be able to stay in our home when we divorce. Physically, I'm just not up to another move and he promised I'd never have to move.

Most of my life has been spent trying to help other humans and animals in need so it's quite a strange feeling for me to be here asking your help. But, I promise you, that landing on my feet will allow me to continue to be there for others (humans and animals alike) when they need me, just like in the past and I will pay it forward.

Thank you for reading this whether you can help, or not.

--RoseMarie

Amanda Lewis is Wrongfully Convicted

Amanda had the misfortune of being convicted of murder when her daughter accidentally drowned.  You see she had no resources, no property and no money or savings.  Our criminal justice system is unfair to the poor and disinfranchised.  Amanda was convicted on the testimony of her 5 year old son who gave conflicting accounts and was confused. The prosecution exploited this child for its own purposes.  Amanda was represented by a public defender who failed to call expert witnesses to refute the flimsy evidence used to convict her.  Her entire conviction is based on a 1 minute video that the police made while inappropriately interrogating AJ the 5 year old boy.  AJ refused to testify to what he said in the video in her actual trial so the judge allowed the video to be shown.
Amanda has lost her life with a LWOP sentence.  She has no means to hire an attorney and we need to help her.

All funds will go to an attorney to file an appeal to get this conviction overturned.  Please help if you can.

Please Help Fund Justice for a Mom and Her 2 Kids

Back in 2013, I was accused of a serious crime, which I did not commit. Since those charges, I and my children have lived a very difficult life. My children lost their mother and I lost my children. We really need your help.

The charges that I face, are Munchausen by Proxy. My daughter had medical issues. And although the doctors found abnormal results during various MRI's. They still were unable to diagnose her.

During this mess of time, I was ultimately accused of lying about her symptoms and charged with Criminal charges called Munchausen by Proxy. This is a very serious crime that, if convicted, has a very serious prison sentence.

My attorney has had various experts look at my case. They all have agreed that there is no evidence to support these charges. The truth exist in the records.

The only problem is that these experts cost a minimum of $10,000 - $15,000 each. And also, I owe my attorney $12,000.

Please help me fund my defense. My children and I appreciate any and all assistance that we receive.

Our Rights - Our Kids - Our Choice - REPEAL SB277

Our mission is simple, to repeal SB277 and bring back Personal Belief Exemptions to all families.

We are a family of six: husband, wife and four unvaccinated children.  Our children currently attend a private Christian school.  As each of them enters 7th grade they will no longer be able to attend school because of SB277.  

Why we are fighting against SB277:

     - First and foremost, this is a violation of our basic human rights. The government has no right to mandate medical procedures for anyone.

     - We, as parents, no longer have authority over our children to decide whether or not to vaccinate, and what vaccination schedule to use if we do vaccinate.  The government now makes that decision for us.  This is an abuse of power.

     - No child should be denied their right to attend any public or private school of their choosing because they are not vaccinated or are on an alternative vaccination schedule.  This is flat out discrimination.

     - We have our own personal and religious beliefs regarding vaccines, which is why none of our children are vaccinated.  The government has stripped us of our beliefs (only on paper), by no longer allowing us to file a Personal Belief Exemption for our children to attend school unvaccinated. 

We want to make something very clear; whether you choose to vaccinate your children or not, your right to make that decision is gone.  This law doesn’t just affect those who do not vaccinate; it also affects those who do.  Neither one of us has a choice any more.  The government has made that choice for us.  The government does not have that right! 

We have chosen to stand up and fight – for our rights as human beings, our rights as parents, and our children’s rights, because they cannot fight for themselves.  If we don’t stand up to our government, and their mandated medical procedures, then what will they mandate next?  It is a frightening thought!

This lawsuit it not just for us; it is for every Californian whose rights have been taken away.  It is for all of the other states whose government is trying to do the same thing to them.  It is for all of us!

Thank you for taking the time to hear our story.  Please share it with anyone who will listen.  We must spread the word!  We must stand together and fight for our rights!  Please donate!

Thank you!

***Donations are non-refundable.

***All donations will go towards our lawsuit, even if our goal is not met.

Help me keep fighting for my daughter

“I will protect you until you are grown and then I will let you fly free, but loving you, that is for always.” —Charlotte Gray

I can't imagine losing custody of my daughter. I'm not even sure how losing custody even became a possibility, but it is. I have been my daughters primary caretaker her entire 3 years of existence, so I never ever thought she could ever be taken from me.

I'm in the midst of a terrible multi-state divorce. The state where the case was filed first does not have jurisdiction as the residency requirement was not met. However, when legal maneuvering occurs and loopholes are utilized, people get hurt and attorney fees skyrocket. And when people make allegations regarding your mental stability, it gets the judges attention and not in a favorable way.  

To make a very long, painful, and expensive story short, I may lose my daughter because false allegations were made about me. I'm a school psychologist who works with elementary aged children, there is no way I'd ever have my job if I didn't care very deeply about the health and well being of all children let alone my own daughter.  

I've racked up $88,000 in attorney's fees fighting these allegations. When a judge has formed a opinion of you, it's very hard to change that even when there is no evidence to support the allegations  I'm learning all of this the least cost effective way possible  

I'm asking for help, for help in getting justice, for help in having my rights as a human being be recognized. I cannot lose my daughter because I've run out of money and the person who filed this case and alleges these things has not run out of money.

Free Kordell J. Jackson

Kordell (Kory) J. Jackson has been a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment and an outspoken opponent to the New York SAFE Act. As the owner of Jackson Gun and Ammo a small African American owned business, Kordell has been placed in the cross-hairs of New York State Attorney General and Governor for silencing and imprisonment. Kordell faces the fight of his life to maintain his liberty.
Remember this is the governor that recently told us – specifically anyone who is pro-traditional marriage, pro-life or pro-guns – we "have no place in the state of New York."  This overzealous quest by the Attorney General and the Governor using every available asset, to persecute hard working citizens of New York is another step in their plan to silence freedom loving people.
This attack on Kordell highlights what the New York Times Editorial called "Rampant Prosecutorial Misconduct" in an editorial from January. "Fighting prosecutorial misconduct is not only about protecting the innocent. It is, .... about preserving “the public’s trust in our justice system,” and the foundation of the rule of law."
Help us protect and defend Kordell Jackson and his family. He needs you now more than ever.
Statement from Kordell Jackson’s Legal Team – Attorney Paul Ciminelli, Esq. and retired Monroe County Court Judge Patricia Marks
 “Our client was a licensed dealer who operated his business in accordance with all state and federal laws,” Ciminelli said. “This action by the State Attorney General is not about gun control. This case is about fundamental fairness and knowing what the law permits and prohibits.”
  “The Safe Act, through its vague language, makes potentially every law-abiding citizen a criminal,” Ciminelli said. “More than half of this small business owner’s customer base is either active or retired law enforcement officers, which underscores the egregious injustice in this matter.”
  “I spent more than 34 years as a prosecutor and judge in the criminal justice system. I came out of retirement because I am outraged about what is happening to Kordell Jackson and my concern for justice in this matter.” Patricia Marks said.
Kory Jackson was a small business owner in Western New York for almost two decades.  As the only African American Gun Shop Owner in New York State, Kory and his family worked diligently to pursue their dreams.

Now he stands charged with multiple felonies under the Safe Act that could result in Kory spending the rest of his life in prison.

My dad has been extradited to Houston, Texas.   He arrived on 6/30 after 12 days of travel and being out of communication with everyone.  He is remaining strong and we are looking forward to a quick resolution to this situation.  We have more information about the victim of the crime as well as information about the alleged assailant.  According to police, the person that committed the murder was a person with a 3" scar on his face.  Leon has no such scar.  The person also worked at a motel in Houston.  Leon was never in Houston to work a job.  The person apparently had either an artificial eye or one that was severely deformed.  Leon does not. Any help you can provide in helping with attorney's fees, time missed from work to clear up this injustice and travel down to Texas from Ohio is greatly appreciated.  Even if you cannot afford to give, please share so we can get Leon's story to people who may have the means to help...

My Dad, Leon Dudley, is currently being held in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), OH jail awaiting extradition on a 1979 Murder warrant from Harris County (Houston), Texas. He has lived in Cleveland his entire life.  He is a Vietnam Vet who served his nation and wouldn't hurt a fly. The warrant was issued in 1979 and since that time my father has gotten speeding tickets, owned property, paid taxes, and renewed his driver's license. There is absolutely no reason that 37 years has had to go by in order for the authorities to locate someone who has not been hiding. In addition to this, the physical description of the "man" indicted for the crime does not match in  any way.  The "defendant" is allegedly 6'1" tall, my dad is 5'9".  The "defendant" has a dark brown complexion and a scar on his left cheek.  My dad is most definitely not dark brown and does not have a scar on his left cheek.  The "defendant" allegedly was of heavy build and weighed approximately 250lbs in 1979. My dad weighed a mere 150lbs until he quit smoking in the late 1990s.   The Texas attorney that my family wishes to retain for this matter is requesting a $20,000 retainer fee; money that my family does not have. We're hoping to get this matter sorted out quickly but cannot do that without first hiring an attorney. The logistics of this case are daunting as my entire family lives in Ohio and will, presumably, have to travel back and forth to Texas for hearings and visitations until this gets sorted out. We will have to foot our own travel expenses such as hotel stays, rental cars and plane fare.

I am a mother of 3 children by the same abusive father. He received custody of them after our divorce because he had the house, the car, and the job. I had nothing because I wasn't allowed to go to school, have a job, have friends, or even talk to family, for fear I would disclose his repeated abuse of me and my children over the course of 12 years. I fled with all 3 of my children from Michigan to California, where my family had moved back to, to get away from his abuse in September 2009. When he got custody, he alienated me from my kids for 4 years. (In those 4 years, I hired 4 attorneys and my family, husband, and I paid almost $200,000 throughout this battle.) I regained custody of my son when he called me from his paternal grandmother's home in February 2014. She had no idea what had occurred until my son finally told her. In October 2014, CPS had removed my oldest daughter due to his abuse and she was placed in my custody. I had filed for emergency custody for my youngest daughter in Michigan, but was told that even though he went against the court order not to remove my daughter from the State of Indiana where he was residing that they no longer had Jurisdiction because he kidnapped her and took her to Alabama. She is still in Alabama and we have no way of getting her away from his abuse and Cps would not remove her because she would not disclose abuse. I have not seen my youngest daughter since April 9th, 2010. She was 5. She is now 10 and I'm desperate to save her and reunite her with all of our family, including his own mother and sister in Michigan. Please help our family. We are a Military family with no resources for legal representation, because my current husband is the active duty member, not me.
