ALERT: 9-9-13

SPREAD THE WORD!
Opportunity to Testify against New York’s Corrupt Judiciary --
& the Worthlessness of Purported Safeguards
On July 2nd,
Governor Cuomo created a commission with extraordinary powers to investigate
public corruption, to refer those who corrupt government for criminal
prosecution, and to recommend changes in the law.
The Commission’s first public hearing
is on Tuesday, September 17th in lower Manhattan. A
second public hearing is on Tuesday, September 24th, outside of
Albany. They begin at 6 p.m.
This is a HUGE opportunity for victims
of New York’s corrupt judiciary and other lawlessness of our state government –
and the best way for you to be convinced of
this is to watch the VIDEO of the Governor’s press
conference announcing the Commission. Here’s the direct link:
http://www.governor.ny.gov/press/07022013-new-moreland-commission-named.
The Commission’s website is here: http://www.publiccorruption.moreland.ny.gov/
-- and it contains a button entitled “REGISTER TO
SPEAK AT A PUBLIC HEARING”, with an online form for requests to testify at the
September 17th hearing in Manhattan
To ensure that the Commission – which
is called “Commission to Investigate Public Corruption” -- is true to its name
and announced purpose, our nonpartisan, nonprofit citizens’ organization,
Center for Judicial Accountability, Inc. (CJA), has been working hard.
Here’s the link to our webpage entitled “Keeping the Commission to Investigate
Public Corruption True to its Name & Announced Purpose”: http://www.judgewatch.org/web-pages/searching-nys/commission-to-investigate-public-corruption/menu-commission-on-public-corruption.htm,
featuring a link to our August 5th letter to the
Commission, raising important issues as to its integrity, to which we have
received no response. It also features a link to a webpage we’ve
created called “The People Have Something to Say -- & Evidence to Back It
Up”, where we will be posting YOUR submissions and testimony, if you would like
us to do so.
I invite you to call me so that I can
guide you as to how to be most effective in your presentations to the Commission,
whether at the hearings or by written submissions. Specifically, you
should focus on the worthlessness of purported safeguards, these being,
for example, reargument motions, motions to
vacate for fraud, motions to disqualify and for disclosure, requests for
oversight by supervisory judges, Article 78 proceedings, appeals, federal
lawsuits, complaints to the Commission on Judicial Conduct and attorney
disciplinary bodies, complaints to the Chief Judge, Chief Administrative Judge,
and to the Inspector General of the Unified Court System, complaints to the
Attorney General and his “Public Integrity Bureau”, complaints to district
attorneys and to U.S. Attorneys and the FBI, etc., complaints to other public
officers – most importantly, to state legislators and state legislative
committees, as, for instance, the Assembly and Senate Judiciary Committees –
entreaties to the press, to academia, to bar associations, etc.
To ensure that there is public record
of what members of the public are furnishing the Commission for investigation,
I urge you to provide us with copies of your written communications to it so
that we can post them on our website, for examination by the press, scholars,
and others able to “blow the whistle” on a Commission cover-up.
Ultimately, the webpage will
be similar to that which we created, back in 2009, for witnesses who testified
at the Senate Judiciary Committee’s June 8, 2009 and September 24, 2009
hearings on the Commission on Judicial Conduct and the court-controlled attorney
disciplinary system. Here’s the link to that webpage: http://www.judgewatch.org/web-pages/judicial-discipline/nys/nys-sjc-hearing.htm.
We also created a webpage for witnesses testifying on July 20, 2011 before the
Commission on Judicial Compensation. Here’s the link so that you can see
it: http://www.judgewatch.org/web-pages/judicial-compensation/7-20-11-commission-hearing.htm.
Finally, in the event that you have
not kept up with CJA’s unrelenting advocacy over these many years, building on
what took place at the 2009 Senate Judiciary Committee hearings and at the 2011
hearing of the Commission on Judicial Compensation – including by our People’s
lawsuit against the state, whose requested relief includes seeding a
superfund for restitution to victims of judicial corruption, you can examine it
from the hyperlinks on our “Latest News” webpage, accessible from our website’s
top panel. Here’s the direct link: http://www.judgewatch.org/web-pages/cja/latest-news.htm.
I look forward to hearing from you
soon.
Best,
Elena Sassower,
