  Dear Sir: It is with honor I desire you to help me in eliminating my predicament.
  
  I will not weary you in a lot of vague ideas and experiences, for they will offer nothing to give
  action toward your investigating the area of my concern. My concern is coming from above,
  namely Space Satellites. The Federal Government has placed in space, for National Security
  reasons Space Stations to observe areas of our great country, thinking that our enemies may
  attack us. Of course, some individuals within the Government, citizens too, believe any and all
  means are necessary to protect and defend the citizens of this Great Nation, and I agree. The thing
  is, these Satellites can and are being used for seeking out and disrupting citizens from their normal
  everyday activities. Satellite technology doing harm to citizens is a dastardly thing within any
  country when their technology becomes the controlling factor to those citizens living “the pursuit
  of happiness” dream.
  For me to comprehend its existence, Satellite Technology and its usage is as mysterious as
  its ramifications on my life. The continuous effect of The Satellite Program has advanced my
  interest; otherwise, I would have never become involved. The effects of Satellite bombardment
  are unbroken in any and all my endeavors. The Satellite program has totally surrounded me,
  controlling me, consequentially forging me outside my normal existence.
  It is difficult to describe the effects and harm the U S Government is doing to my body.
  My toenail has a tear; toes are discolored, small reddest mark on different part of my body. Laser
  is being used more of late, due to it’s effectiveness in penetrating my surround barriers. There is
  no end to the torturing I’m suffering. To say the least, I need something done, an immediately.
  I’m hoping you may help me in this distressing matter.
  As I understand, nearly a year of constant surveillance and harmful penetration, satellites
  are operated by using a ground coordinator. A person who physically monitors, making contact
  with me, following me by vehicle or coming close to my approxime while in stores, etc. The
  spying while in my home is done with equipment in neighboring homes, surveillance of my every
  move 24 hours a day.

  I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits ran out last month. I am 53 old and have work hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. Totally disgusting. So anytime I am not looking for a job, I will spend time and dedicate to making sure any politician that votes nay on not extending unemployment insurance will be out of a job their next term by informing the public of their decision in every forum available. I will encourage others to do so as well.

  Republican lawmakers, pointing to the Russian invasion of Georgia, are pushing Democrats to drop the testing requirements, which could add years of delay to plans.
  
  But Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif., one of the authors of the restrictions, said Democrats will not bend on testing.
  
  "Congress will not be funding an untested system, period," Tauscher said.
  
  The above comments from an AP article show just another example of why Rep. Tauscher and her Democrat friends never accomplish anything. Delays, delays, delays.....

  Dear Operator xx,
  
  Thank you for taking time to listen to my concerns about Palmetto GBA and Trailblazer. I sincerely appreciate your help in this matter.
  
  These new Medicare providers, Trailblazer and Palmetto, have removed a treatment option (SBRT/CyberKnife) for prostate cancer that is one if not the very best and most cost effective. Medicare had covered treatment of prostate cancer by the CyberKnife but effective de. 15, 2008 that treatment option is no longer available in the Palmetto region. In June of 2008 Trailblazer removed SBRT/Cyberknife as a treatment option. The alternate external beam treatment (IMRT) will cost Medicare a %100 more than SBRT/CyberKnife. This will also increase the patients’ side effects, and reduce cure rates. IMRT requires 40 days of treatment the SBRTCyberKnife requires 5 days of treatment.
  
  In my opinion this is criminal. Their actions increase the cost to Medicare and lower the quality and may result in death due to failure of cure by IMRT.
  
  I have attached my letter to the Whitehouse to fight the decline in medical care while increasing cost.
  
  Best Regards,
  Fred

  Dear Mr. President,
  
  I am very concerned about the economic crisis.
  
  It seems criminal for a Medicare service provider to eliminate a cancer treatment option that would same the country tens of millions of dollars and benefit cancer patients at the same time. Medicare providers Palmetto in California and Trailblazer (TX, OK, CO and NM) are increasing Medicare cost and providing lower quality medical care. Both have eliminated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)/CyberKnife coverage for prostate cancer treatment. The previous Medicare providers covered SBRT for prostate cancer. The alternative external beam treatment, IMRI, will double the cost to Medicare and increase the cost for patient’s transportation and lodging (if required) by 800%. Trailblazer stopped paying for prostate cancer treatment with SBRT June 13, 2008. Effective Dec. 15, 2008 Palmetto will stop treatment of prostate cancer and cancer of the pancreas.
  
  Patients should be entitled to have a say in selecting the best treatment for their best quality of life and most important their life. This should be a fundamental right.
  
  Please consider the actions of these Medicare providers and take corrective action to save millions of dollars and improve medical treatment for cancer patients. In my opinion both of these providers should have their contracts suspended for cause.
  
  My e-mail below to Daniel R. Levinson, Inspector General has the details for the specifics in California.
  
  Please feel free to have a staff member contact me at any time.
  
  
  Best Regards,

  Mr. Daniel R. Levinson
  
  
  Dear Mr. Levinson, Inspector General
  
  California Medicare provider Palmetto Government Benefits Administrators (GBA) just re-released their policy guide lines for cancer treatment by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in draft form. Palmetto is removing a cancer treatment by SRS/SBRT/CyberKnife for the Prostate and Pancreas. This will result in higher cost to Medicare, higher cancer failure rates adding to patient suffering and additional treatment (adding cost), higher incidence of side effects reducing the quality of life for patients. This treatment was covered by the previous Medicare administrator. Why would, SRS/SBRT, the best External Beam (EB) radiation treatment for prostate cancer be removed? The new policy now covers an External Beam radiation option (IMRT) that cost a 100% more than SRS/SBRT , has increased side effects and a lower cancer cure rate. Why? Also consider the Palmetto EB option (IMRT) requires 40 days of treatment. The SRS/SBRT by CyberKnife requires 5 days of treatment. The cost of patient travel and inconvenience is 800% higher as the result of the irresponsible actions of Palmetto.
  
  Palmetto was provided medical evidence by experts in the field (see attachment) for reconsideration before they re-released their policy changes. Their final comment period runs from Oct 30 thru Dec 15, 2008.
  
  The Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) mission statement is as follows:
  
  CMS' mission is to ensure health care security for its beneficiaries. A major component in achieving this mission is the successful administration of Original Medicare, or Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare. Medicare Contracting Reform (or section 911 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003) is a major component in achieving this mission. Section 911 mandates that the Secretary for Health & Human Services replace the current contracting authority to administer the Medicare Part A and Part B FFS programs, contained under Sections 1816 and 1842 of the Social Security Act, with the new Medicare
  Administrative Contractor authority. Through the implementation of Medicare Contracting Reform, CMS will establish a premier health plan that allows for comprehensive, quality care and world-class beneficiary and provider service.
  
  In summary the Palmetto changes are not in compliance with CMS Medicare Reform. World-class treatment for early state prostate cancer is SRS/SBRT. Their changes will also cost Medicare additional millions of dollars and reduce the patient’s quality of life. Patients should be entitled to have a say in selecting the best treatment for their best quality of life and most important their life. This should be a fundamental right. In my opinion Palmetto is acting as a Doctor (do they have a license to practice medicine?) for Medicare patients. If they are, then their actions are in violation of the Hippocratic Oath. Is Palmetto acting as a Doctor?
  
  As a result of my personal fight with Blue Shield of California for prostate cancer treatment by the CyberKnife I have become a prostate cancer advocate for research, education, screening and treatment. The story with Blue Shield can be viewed at the following CBS link http://cbs5.com/investigates/CyberKnife.blue.shield.2.716740.html . FYI, Blue Shield of California added the CyberKnife as a treatment option for prostate cancer July of 2008,
  
  Please enforce the CMS policies on Palmetto so they can not remove SRS/SBRT as a cancer treatment option for prostate and pancreas cancer.
  
  Contact me if you have any questions.

  Greetings:
  Collectively we represent a group of ABR Board Certified Radiation Oncologists with
  expertise and extensive experience in 3DCRT, IMRT, IGRT, HDR Brachytherapy, 125I
  permanent source brachytherapy, 103Pd permanent source brachytherapy and 131Cs
  permanent source brachytherapy. We have prepared this document in support of
  CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery as definitive prostate cancer treatment. Although the
  evidence may be regarded by some as preliminary, it is our opinion that robotic
  radiosurgery is likely to be at least as safe and effective as any other radiation method in
  the treatment of this disease. To avoid coverage confusion, it should be regarded as an
  improvement to an existing modality (radiotherapy) rather than classified as a completely
  new intervention. Our reasons for recommending robotic radiosurgery include the
  following:
  1. FDA approval
  a. In 2001, the FDA cleared the CyberKnife device for use throughout the
  body, wherever therapeutic radiation is indicated. This makes perfect
  sense, as CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery simply represents a very precise
  and powerful method of ionizing radiation delivery. The FDA 510(k)
  clearance was based on use of Varian’s Clinac as the predicate device.
  2. Medicare Coverage
  a. In 2003, CMS recognized stereotactic radiosurgery as inclusive of prostate
  cancer. To quote the CMS Manual System Department of Health &
  Human Services (DHHS), Pub. 100-20 One-Time Notification Centers for
  Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Transmittal 32 Date: DECEMBER
  19, 2003, CHANGE REQUEST 3007, I, B, 4. Billing for Stereotactic
  Radiosurgery:
  “Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a form of radiation therapy for
  treating abnormalities, functional disorders, and tumors of the brain

  ***WHERE ARE AMERICA'S RELIGIOUS LEADERS ???????
  Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials.
  
  This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals.
  
  This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!!
  
  Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus with our US FEDERAL COURTS and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice!
  
  For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system.
  
  It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$.

  Posted on October 31, 2008 by Gideon
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  I’m a little late on writing about this story (via several sources), but it sure is a doozy.
  
  You know how it’s common knowlege that most appeals aren’t successful? Well, if you were a pro-se petitioner in Louisiana for the last 13 years, you knew that you wouldn’t win. Why is that? Because the Chief Judge of their Court of Appeals directed his clerk to summarily deny all appeals from pro-se petitioners without circulating the appeal to other judges.
  
  The clerk, ridden with guilt, committed suicide earlier this year and left a note confessing everything.
  
  This immoral and apparently illegal policy was in place until Jerrold Peterson, the staffer charged with implementing it, blew his brains out in May of last year. Peterson was driven to it in part, his suicide note suggested, by guilt over the nefarious tasks the judges made him perform.
  
  In his note Peterson explained how the court gave indigent appellants the bum’s rush.
  
  Although every criminal writ application is supposed to be reviewed by three judges, he was deputed to winnow out any that had been filed pro se and arrange for their automatic rejection.
  
  Thus were an estimated 2,500 appeals deep-sixed without any judicial consideration whatsoever.
  
  Now, facing public embarassment and possible ethical violations, the Louisiana Supreme Court has stepped in and asked…get this…the same appellate court to look at the appeals again. Note that they did not ask the Court to conduct an investigation into this practice, but simply to consider those appeals that were so summarily denied.
  
  Because, if we placate the defendants with another cursory look at their appeals, we can sweep the ethical violations under the carpet.
  
  At first this whole thing seemed rather odd to me. After all, how is this even possible? Here’s how:
  
  Edward Dufresne, Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit, took charge of pro se appeals in 1994. He then had Peterson prepare rulings denying writs for all of them and signed off “without so much as a glance,” according to the suicide note. “No judge ever saw the writ application before the ruling was prepared by me,” Peterson wrote in a second suicide note to the Judiciary Commission.
  
  The rulings also bore the names, though not the signatures, of judges Marion Edwards and Wally Rothschild. Neither Edwards nor Rothschild had any clue as to what was in the applications, or even knew that they had been filed, according to Peterson.
  
  So you’ve got one complicit judge and maybe three. But there are 5 more on that court. What of them? Are we to really believe that these 5 (or 7) other judges never once questioned the stark absence of pro-se appeals? Particularly in Louisiana, whose system has the following characteristics:
  
  * About 90 percent of criminal defendants in Louisiana are indigent.
  * Louisiana only provides post-conviction legal aid in death penalty cases. Everyone else must either hire a lawyer, find a lawyer to handle their case pro bono, or handle the appeal themselves. Obviously, most have no choice but to opt for the latter.
  * One criminal defense lawyer in Louisiana told me that if you’re convicted of murder in Louisiana and you’re innocent, you’re actually better off getting the death penalty. At least then you’ll get a team of lawyers, investigators, and experts to help with your appeal.
  
  This from a state whose criminal justice system was already crumbling. It’s hard to believe that people such as Judge Dufresne take an oath to uphold the law and to prove equal protection under it. Disbarment may be enough, but only barely.
  Justice delayed is no justice at all.
