Rep. (D) Sheila Jackson Lee, HISD Superintendent Terry Grier, Square Off Over Investigation Of Rep. Lee's Friend

Rick Casey, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle maybe receiving a phone call from Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.

Terry Grier received a phone call from Rep.(D)Sheila Jackson Lee, double teaming with HISD Trustee Carol Sims Galloway and a minister. Galloway left the line early, and State Rep. Harold Dutton joined the call toward the end.

You see, Rick Casey is breaking from the ranks of the Rag of a Paper that claims to be a News Paper. Maybe to drum up some more subscribers, to drum up some more Advertisers, or because it is a story that cannot go untold.

The phone call from Congresswoman Jackson Lee, and others, was to HISD Superintendent Terry Grier; threatening, demanding, and outright intimidating Mr. Grier; 4 months on the job as the leader of one of the nation's largest and most complex school districts.

He told the callers that he wouldn't discuss personnel issues over the phone. Way to go Super Grier!

Being on a break retreat with his wife; and being hammered with a call like this is unconscionable. A Christmas Break. The call was 2 days before Christmas.

The call was about an investigation into some very bad things that has been taking place with 2, 2 mind you, schools. Maybe more bad things-lets see what turns up shall we?

No way, says, Rep.(D) Sheila Jackson Lee; stop the investigation now! She is accusing investigators of using “racist” methods in interviewing staff members.

An outside law firm is investigating activities at Key Middle School, and Kashmere High School.

Administrator Mable Caleb had been principal at Key Middle School, and a controversy resulted in a promotion to principal at Kashmer High School. Wow how did that happen?

The predecessor of Grier tried to fire Mable Caleb 5 yrs. ago. But a Board vote of 4-3 overruled him. Rep.(D)Sheila Jackson Lee involved, Hummm.

The current investigative report charged that equipment and money from student fees were missing at the schools, and there was strong evidence of cheating on TAKS tests.

In addition, the report accused Caleb of improperly employing her son and her niece at the school.

Caleb denied the charges and accused Grier of ordering the investigation for being slighted, because he blamed her for being criticized by State Rep. Dutton and others at a public meeting. Just 4 months on the job and already being Bullied by Rep. (D) Sheila Jackson Lee and cohorts.

Rick Casey said, a conversation with State Rep. Dutton; Dutton defended Caleb at length, saying he also believed Greer had acted out of ruffled pride.

Grier says the investigation came out of an anonymous letter.

The predecessor of Grier tried to fire Mable Caleb 5 yrs. ago. But a Board vote of 4-3 to overrule him suggests that her friends were more successful than they were this time. Yea, Rep. (D) Sheila Jackson Lee is trying to stop another investigation of her friend Caleb.

According to a memo Grier sent his board members shortly after the call, Rep. Lee demanded that he shut down the investigation, accusing investigators of using “racist” methods in interviewing staff members.

He said Lee and the minister also indicated that they wanted to be involved in the selection of new administrators overseeing schools in the region that includes Key and Kashmere.

And they wanted him to replace the new principal he had named to Key with Bernett Harris, a Caleb protege who had been Key's interim principal.

Grier did not shut down the investigation. 

Bulling, Unethical, not Caring about the Constitution, DemocRats Shall be Removed from Office this November!

How America Is Under Attack By The Liberals/Progressives

What To Do With This Evidence

The Greatest Robbery Of Your IRA'S And 401(k) Plan’s

The SEIU, which was integral to the election of Barack Obama as president, is working with the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute (EPI), and the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, on SEIU’s plan, called “the Retirement USA Initiative.”

American labor union pension plans are broke, victims of malfeasance, corruption and negligent mismanagement. Now, union bosses want to hijack the private sector’s retirement plans and 401K plans to cover their own incompetence.

Claiming that the retirement system in place now has “failed most Americans,” EPI vice president Ross Eisenbrey, told a labor union publication that “account balances have fallen by a third since late 2007, leaving many older workers unable to retire just as our economy is shedding millions of jobs.”

One of the nation’s largest labor unions, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), is promoting a plan that will centralize all retirement plans for American workers, including private 401(k) plans, under one new “retirement system” for the United States.

“The failure is broad and deep. It’s not just a few people falling through the cracks: most of us already are in the ravine. Three in 10 have only a 401(k) or similar savings plan, and the rest of us are totally out of luck,” said Eisenbrey.

The president of SEIU is Andy Stern, a critical player in the election of Barack Obama. Van Helsing at Moonbattery pointed out in November Stern is also the most frequent visitor to the White House.

The Washington Times has a special report from Kevin Mooney today delving in to this issue in greater depth:
Nonunion workers and private companies could be forced into absorbing the financial liabilities of underfunded union pension plans, thanks to pending health care mandates and an executive order that could be finalized this year, policy analysts and trade group representatives have concluded.
Demographics are at least partially responsible for the collapse of pension assets within unionized plans, according to labor analysts. Private-sector union membership has fallen from about 20 percent in 1980 to 7.6 percent in 2008 and 7.2 percent in 2009, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. For the first time in U.S. history, a majority of union members work for the government rather than in the private sector.

The fallback position for union leaders who need an influx of members to sustain underfunded pension plans is to push for policy changes that would coerce workers and companies into joining organized labor, Ms. Furchtgott-Roth said.

“In countries where there is a single-payer health care plan, you find that the doctors, nurses and health aides are all government workers, and this is always a source of new union membership,” she said. “If more Americans have health insurance, the demand for health care expands, as does employment in the health care field.”

You Shall Know Them By Their Fruits

If any one tells you the Democrats are good people, they are lying to you.

The only way to tell good people, are by ones actions (their fruits).

The fact that the Senate put language in the Senate Bill, Health Care Reform,  for the Tax Payers to finance abortions, when there is existing Law against the Government  funding abortions, tells you that the Democrats are not good people.

Lying and cheating, underhanded dealings in back rooms, and airplane rides, twisting arms, and offering bribes to persuade someone to abandon ones beliefs, for a con job- to pull the wool over the American People's eyes; an agenda that is no more or less than a take over, of the economy-ruffly 1/6 th; is nothing more than a take over-putting more Power in the Central Government.

The House of Representatives voted to Pass The Senate Health Care Reform Bill.

The Constitution is very clear-the limited powers of the Federal Government is meant to constrain the EVIL in men's hearts. This country is made up of 3 equal Branches of Government- to restrain the Evil that a President could do, to restrain the Evil that a Congress could do, and the Supreme Court to stop the two from ganging up to do Evil against the People.

We will see if the Supreme Court has thrown in with these two Evil Branches, or will the Law-Supreme Law of the Land- The Constitution, be up held in thwarting this poor excuse of a Congressional con job, with the Puppeteer in Chief; who led the Flim-Flam against the American People.

I can no longer look a person in the Eye and believe that they are a good person after finding that they vote for the Democrat Party. If only, the other choice is, the ill reputed Republican Party, that is the Party I'll have to go with from now on.

•  The day will come, for the judgment; and they have to answer, that they voted for a political party, that approved and provided financing, that KILLED HIS CHILDREN- Knowingly!

• One of the oldest Military tactics for over throwing a Nation, is to charm the People into doing acts that angers Yahweh; that turns His face from their nation and allows their enemies to invade and conquer: (1) to get possession or control of by or as by winning a war. (2) to overcome by physical, Mental, or MORAL FORCE; DEFEAT!

That about sums up what has happened.

Let us see if the lower courts have evil in mind for the American People as well.

Let us see if the Supreme Court has turned to Evil Heart-ed ways as well.

Believers In The Constitution Now Extremist, Militias, And Haters, Says Mark Potok's Intelligence Report

Mark Potok, represents the Southern Poverty Law Center, in some way.

"We saw a real explosion in militias and the larger anti-government patriot movement," said Mark Potok, who directs the group's Intelligence Report."

The U.S. has seen an "explosion" in the number of extremist groups and armed militias which advocate radical anti-government doctrines and conspiracy theories, a recent report has found. The number of active "Patriot" groups nearly tripled last year to 512 from 149 in 2008, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks the activities of hate groups.

A while back I posted the encyclopedia's article on Fascism; and it stated that the People in Power who could not have their way would start a propaganda campaign, against the countries Patriots! Well, here it comes!

Did not think that black people who love this country would be labeled Extremist-who would have guessed.

People who have a heritage south of the border- now members of Hate Groups, too!

A black man toting a rifle at a Obama teleprompter speech in Arizona, labeled a Militia member.

The Major News Medias showed a man holding a rifle; but did not zoom back far enough to show his bare skin-imagine that.

Yea, the Fascist article from the encyclopedia, is telling the truth about the real movement-it ain't a movement of the Patriots.

The Patriots don't have to be involved in a movement, just hold on for dear life to what this country stands for and what it's Founders have Established for the common good.

History is the tell all of the crooks (Socialist)  that have led the Movement to destroy everything that this U.S. of A. is and is to be.

Gay Couples Same Sex Marriage--Trying To Do End Run Around Texas State Constitution

Angelique Naylor, 39, and Sabina Daly, 41, married in 2004 in Massachusetts. (Legally married in one State and seeks a divorce in another State, that does not recognize Same- Sex Marriage).

"We never asked them to grant us a Same-Sex Marriage. We only asked them to legally recognize that we needed a divorce," Naylor said.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott spokesman Jerry Strickland said in a statement, "The State maintains that the Court has no legal authority to grant this divorce, and as a result, the State must intervene in this case to defend the Texas Constitution."

Texas is one of numerous States that have passed Constitutional Amendments banning gay marriage; defines marriage as between one man and one woman; also defined in the Texas Family Code.

State District Judge Scott Jenkins (Democrat), granted the divorce orally and ordered the parties to put their agreement in writing and return to court next month for his signature.

Abbott's petition in intervention was filed Thursday after the agreement was reached in court. In it, Abbott notes that after Naylor filed for divorce in December, Daly argued that divorce was the wrong legal remedy for the couple and that the court should instead declare the marriage void.

Abbott's petition said that through legal voidance, "the parties can achieve a legal termination of their Massachusetts marriage, through an enforceable judgment."

Abbott's office has sought to intervene in a Texas Same-Sex Divorce case, before State District Judge Tena Callahan in Dallas County ruled in October that Two Men could divorce in Texas.

Callahan ruled in that case that the prohibition of Same-Sex Marriage violates the right to equal protection under the U.S. Constitution.

Greg Abbott (Republican) has appealed the ruling. It is pending in the state's 5th Court of Appeals.

The full faith and credit clause of the U.S. Constitution, is the subject in the Naylor-Daly divorce.

That clause "requires that a valid judgment from one state be enforced in other states regardless of the laws or public policy of the other states."

Abbott's filing discounts that the full faith and credit clause would require Texas courts to recognize Same-Sex Marriages granted in other jurisdictions.

This is one for the funny books.

We will have to wait for the Appeals Court Ruling on the Two Gay Men seeking a divorce from the Dallas County October Case.

And then see what will unfold in the Two Women seeking a divorce from the Travis County December Case.

This is the reason why Same Sex marriage can not be taken seriously. The Liberal Agenda is out to tear down the National Back Bone of American Society- Marriage, marriage between One Man and One Woman.  

And do an end run around State Legislature, and tear down States Rights.
