“There are cases where an individual has been wrongfully treated by his government and about the only way, unless the individual resorts to court, and even in some cases the courts are not able to give proper relief, the only area or avenue open to the individual is through his representative. When you find a bona fide error has been made, I suggest that you make a maximum effort to remedy it. This I feel is a vital and important function of those of us in the House of Representatives”. Authors: Donald G. Tacheron and Morris Udall, from the book entitled, “The Job of the Congressman”, pages 65 and 66. (The above excerpt “The Job of the Congressman” holds true for any elected office holder, and/or U.S. Citizen.) **************************************************************** Hello America, I’m a U.S. born American citizen, and a thirty year tax paying resident in the 10th Los Angeles City Council District, the 2nd Los Angeles County District, and the State of California. I ‘m also a 30 year and of qualifying retirement age LADWP employee, formerly employed as a Senior Electrical Mechanic, whose LADWP utility water service has been cut off, whose electrical power was cut off until I reconnected electric service with my Mom’s assistance. Additional threats have been made by the LADWP to discontinue electric service to my residence, while my earned retirement benefits, etc., are being held hostage by the LADWP. I hired on with the LADWP on April 16, 1979, as a Steam Plant Assistant and was terminated in good standing on March 12, 2009, minus all earned retirement benefits after over a decade of service as a Senior Electrical Mechanic on March 12, 2009. (not as a commercial truck driver as used in court to contest Superior Court Case BC 385899 by Deputy City Attorney Lisa Berger, Judge Mark Mooney, Department 68, being the judge of court of record). On January 19, 2011, LADWP water utility workers disconnected the water meter and applied a tamper proof plug at the utility water source, without knocking on our door. My Mom, Mrs. Esther M. Lofton contacted Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s office and the LADWP water service supervisor Mrs. Tanya Franklin and was given the run around. On Friday, January 21, 2011, I talked with Mr. Greg Williams, a water utility supervisor for the LADWP, and the results have been just as fruitless. My Mom, Mrs. Esther M. Lofton, a senior citizen, and I have been without water for toilets, bath water, drinking water, etc., and have had to resort to using a city fire hydrant or other sources for water for survival. 2nd District Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas has been alerted by certified mail, other correspondence, personal appearance before the LA County Board of Supervisors, and through notice of hearing in the limited liability case #10K18049 Demurrer. Mandated representation by elected officials does not exist for law abiding U.S. born Black men, women, and/or his or her siblings at the City, County, State, and Federal level (Justice Clarence Thomas), no good President Barack Obama being inclusive in this reality pertaining to the absence of representative government for law abiding U.S. born blacks. My LADWP earned retirement being denied without cause (vested retirement not applicable), water being cut off, and long standing but unresolved Los Angeles Superior Court Case 895188, the HSBC limited liability case #10K18049 Demurrer, the most recent application for Ex Parte and accompanying proposed judgment order before Stanley Mosk Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Steven Kleifield have yet to be granted, executed and enforced as mandated by the 14th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution and Article VI, Section 19, of the California Constitution. Any man or woman of less than independent means must have a source of income to provide for the necessities of life, and/or to pay off debt owed to any creditor, such as HSBC et al. As a law abiding taxpaying U.S. born American citizen, be it in the past or the present, I’m receiving just a fraction (BC 385899) of the unwarranted, illegal treatment, and economic sanctions that stem from the atrocities of a government seriously gone awry that my Dad, an honorably discharged disabled draftee awarded the "Purple Heart" Combat Infantry Veteran of a foreign war (WWII) Leon E. Lofton, Jr. who passed with his integrity intact, and Mom, as documented by Los Angeles Superior Court case 895188 to which the defendants have admitted guilt, yet Superior Court case 895188 has yet to be resolved. "Insisting on honesty as the only policy, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that public employees can be punished for lying, even when they merely deny an accusation that later turns out to be true”. “ ….Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. 'An employee who is asked about possible wrongdoing has only two responses: Tell the truth or say nothing”. (LA Times, January 22, 1998) ........"Tell the Truth or Say Nothing" also applies to everyone, which includes any Supreme Court Justice, County Court Presiding Judge, County Court Assistant Presiding Judge, Judge, court "issuing worthless and unenforcable clerk judgment "clerk-ment" clerks, Deputy City Attorney, elected official, Police Chief, police officer, lawyer, journalist, social worker, probation officer, electrician, etc. “Upon motion of Plaintiffs the action is dismissed as to all fictitious defendants. No Law and Motion matters are pending or likely. All discovery has been completed and none will be permitted hereafter. The matter is ready to be set for trial. The case is set for trial on April 12, 1967 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 1. Appearing April 12, 1967 a 9:00 a.m. in Department 1 of the above titled court before Presiding Judge Donald R. Wright in case #895188 were the attorney for the Defendants, Deputy Los Angeles County Counsel Mr. Ron Apperson and Plaintiffs in propria persona, Leon and Esther M. Lofton holding 4 months old Gena in her arms. County Counsel Ron Apperson announced, "Your honor, I am here for settlement." Appearing somewhat angry Judge Wright directed, "Mr. Apperson, tell county counsel to dismiss this action." Leon E. Lofton blurted, "That's your job Judge Wright." Court deputies circling the outer perimeter of the courtroom advanced towards Leon stopping only when so directed to by a hand signal from Judge Wright.” (Source: Los Angeles Superior Court Case BC 385899, pg 8, lines 18-23 and pg 9, lines 1-12.) Execution and enforcement of Los Angeles Superior Court case 895188 is long overdue. Considering the severity and longstanding damage done by agents and officials of government to gainful employment opportunity, family rights, the unwarranted jailing, unwarranted persecution of an honorably discharged draftee disabled WWII awarded the "Purple Heart" Combat Infantry Veteran of Leon E. Lofton, Jr., Mrs. Esther M. Lofton, and/or the Lofton siblings, the problem is not with Michael L. Lofton, as it concerns default or otherwise Law abiding U.S. citizens such as my Dad, Mom, Carl Steadman, John Thompson, I, and/or others, are not supposed to be punished or subjected to such cruel and unusual punishment. The U.S., is supposed to be in a class by itself, holding dear our U.S. Constitution, respective State Constitutions, the rule of law, and being “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”, citizenship guarantees that have yet to be realized by my Dad, my Mom, Carl Steadman, John Thompson, I, and/or many other U.S. born blacks, namely because of the contempt that our own elected Black leaders have for his or her sworn duty to respect the principles to which this nation stands. Sincerely, Michael L. Lofton "I believe I can bring something different, that I can walk in the shoes of the people who are affected by what the court does" by Justice Clarence Thomas, as published in "Clarence Thomas Doesn't Mind Being the Odd Man Out", LA Times, July 2, 2011. (20 more years of Clarence Thomas, I should hope not, because Justice Clarence Thomas has no regard for his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution to protect the rights of law abiding U.S. born black men and women egregiously violated by very serious atrocities of bad government. Clarence Thomas needs to be impeached ASAP for being blatantly incompetent.) " Conservatives on the High Court........have failed to recognize that civil suits for money damages, including class actions, are essential to ensure that injured individuals gain recovery and that future misconduct is deterred. People wrongly convicted should have access to federal courts to gain redress. Constitutional rights are meaningless if there are no courts to enforce them.............No principle is more basic to our constitutional system than that a person who has been hurt deserves his or her day in court.....Congress can and must act to remedy many of these injustices. The Supreme Court needs to believe this again, and to act accordingly." as published in the article entitled, "The Supreme Court Closes the Door to Justice" LA Times, by Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean, UC Irvine School of Law. Lies Don't Keep Us Safe. Keeping Us Safe Requires Respect for the Rule of Law and the Constitution. The government's argument is untenable. “The government cannot, under any circumstance, affirmatively mislead the court” by U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney "Insisting on honesty as the only policy, the supreme ruled Wednesday that public employees can be punished for lying, even when they merely deny an accusation that later turns out to be true”. “ …….Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. 'An employee who is asked about possible wrongdoing has only two legal choices: Tell the truth or say nothing”. (LA Times, January 22, 1998.) ........"Tell the Truth or Say Nothing" also applies to any court official, court clerk, Deputy City Attorney, Judge, elected official, lawyer, journalist, etc. (Hypertext is linked to testimony, correspondence, court cases, and other supportive evidence.) In the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, the State of California, and/or other jurisdiction throughout the U.S..... U.S. citizens and legal immigrants are indicted, fined, and/or jailed for operating any food vending business without a health permit or business license...... ......and here you have Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Congresswoman Karen Bass, the Los Angeles City Council, and/or other elected officials block "Secure Communities" enforcement to enable criminal illegal immigrants to continue violating the law at the expense of the rights of U.S. citizens and legal immigrants who are mandated by law to obey the law or face stiff fines, jail time, and/or other penalties. ( It won't be business as usual!) OBP/Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation Black Men and Women, Value Your U.S. Citizenship PS: To date, President Obama,Congresspersons Allen West and Karen Bass, and 2nd District Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas have not responded. Congresswoman Maxine Waters is the only elected official who shows interest in the concerns of inner-city residents. Senator Diane Feinstein local and county government elected officials are dysfunctional. Petition Councilman Herb Wesson for Redress and You Will be Arrested and Jailed. Squabbling, Sell Out Elected Black Leaders, the Chickens have Come Home to Roost! There is no question that elected black leaders are dysfunctional and don't respect the rule of law |
