Gives more money to his son than to GOP:

In the five years since Republican Fred Thompson left the Senate, he has maintained his political fund-raising account -- and it has paid more money to his son than it has contributed to help elect Republicans to Congress, records show.
Mr. Thompson, of Tennessee, announced that he would not seek re-election to the Senate in 2002. But since then, his political action committee has paid $244,000 in "management/consulting fees" to his son's consulting firm in Nashville, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.

During the same period, the Fred D. Thompson PAC donated a total of $225,000 to Republican candidates and party organizations, according to the reports.

2Johnedwrd on April 23, 2007 at 07:30 PMNow isn't it amazing, the Repubs HATE movie and TV stars because they give money to Liberals and their causes, but this POS can be as dirty as he wants, and they are praying he will be the next President of the US !

3PamB on April 24, 2007 at 08:30 AMOne of the trademarks of an oligarchy is that they believe they are above the law, while the rest of us "ash and trash" need to toe the line or receive harsh penalties.
Welcome to the Bushiato OILigarchy!
Working so diligently to turn a first-world nation into a third-world dictatorship.

DOES ANYBODY CARE?……SOMEONE? WHAT SECRET IS SO HORRIFYING THAT RUDY GIULIANI ORDERED AND BERNARD KERIK CARRIED OUT THE TORTURE AND CHILD ABUSE OF TWO LITTLE GIRLS?
Monday, December 11, 2006
Dear Does Anybody Care?,
My name is Talia Ray, and I am writing to provide a vital part to a case that the court has undertaken involving my parents’ divorce/custody of my sister, Ava Ray, and me. Firstly, it is critical to the reader’s understanding that they are familiar with the more than likely connections Bernard Kerik (former Police Commissioner and Homeland Security nominee) has with this case. The only reason that I am aware of Mr. Kerik as the primary source of the shamelessly blatant corruption in my “complicated” or “special” case, as many DYFS workers and other Somerset County officials whom I have encountered like to call it, is the simple fact that my mother told me of Bernie’s involvement. Threatened me with it, I should say. My mother, Teresa Ray, told me in an argument we had some time around my freshman year of high school (2003 – 2004) that the judge would not allow me to live with my father, Larry Ray, in spite of my age (I was fifteen years old at the time, which gives my desire concerning the issue of with whom I would reside a little more weight.). When I questioned her apparent certainty that I would not end up living with my dad, she retorted in an overly confident tone that the judge was going to do whatever she wanted the judge to do. This outrageous claim was followed with another bizarre statement by my mother that “Bernie is helping her.” Due to the fact that my father does not involve mie in his personal business affairs (and nothing of his business affairs had yet appeared as a public topic of speculation in the media), I was unaware of the implications that statement had. My mother’s seemingly silly threats to have gained the ability to manipulate the Court into straying from truth and justice did not phase me much; I had confidence in our country’s judicial system. My father’s great respect for this country and the government we live under had always made me feel like I was in good hands here in the United States. I have learned that the beauty of the United States Government is that we all are in fact in each other’s hands, and whether those are good hand sto be in is a matter of how willing we are to protect our fellow American citizens and to continually remind one another of the fundamental liberties guaranteed to us by the U.S. Constitution. I am writing this letter in an effort of self-advocacy; I hope that you, reader, will help me advocate for myself. It is my well-being and my six year old sister’s well-being that have been put on the line here.
My general complaint is simply this: My constitutional rights, as well as my father’s and my sister’s, have been infringed upon by the Somerset County Court. Consequently, my sister, Ava, and I have been caused severe emotional pain and the inexcusably drastic upheaval of our lives. My father spend six months in federal prison for failing to respond to a court order mandating the transfer custody of my sister and me to DYFS – a court order neither he nor his lawyer was ever served; I was forced to spend ten months isolated in a homeless shelter, and my sister was placed in the custody of our mother who sexually abused us both. We were all robbed any opportunity to maintain our close relationships with one another. Why?
More specific to this particular letter, I intend to address the fact that Somerset County Court cut me off from any contact with my father. This intrusion by the state upon the personal familial relationship between my father and me was abrupt, unfounded and unconstitutional. I would like to remind the Court of that which Justice O’Conner stated in Troxel v. Granville 527 U.S. 1069 (1999) speaking for the Court,
The Fourteenth Amendment provides that no State shall ‘deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of the law.’ We have long recognized that the Amendment’s Due Process Clause, like its Fifth Amendment counterpart, ‘gaurantees more than fair process.’ The Clause includes a substantive component that ‘provides heightened protection against governmental interference with certain fundamental rights and liberty interest’ and ‘the liberty interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children – is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by this Court.
Smith v. City of Fontana, 818 f. 2d 1411 (9th Cir. 1985) recognizes that “the constitutional interest in familial companionship and society logically extends to protect children from unwarranted state interference with their relationships with their parents.” Therefore, it would only make sense for any U.S. Court on the state or federal level to have issued a court order removing me from my father’s custody after a strictly scrutinized interest was substantiated by indisputable evidence proving abuse or neglect by my father. This interest of the court should have been made apparent via record of fair trial out of respect for Due Process Rights before any restrictions were placed on my relationship with my father.
However, this is not at all what took place. The only explanation DYFS has been able to give me as to why my relationship with my father has suddenly become something I am not allowed to have is that the judge was concerned he might “brainwash” me. The thoughts and feelings I express are the same as those I expressed while living with my father. After being isolated from my father for an entire year plus, not once have I said a singly thing contradictory to what I’ve been saying all along – my mother is a disturbed woman, and while I am finally ready to come to grips with the sexual abuse I suffered by certain members of my family on the maternal side (including my mother), I simply do not feel that attempting a relationship with my mother would be at all appropriate for me. All I want to do is to be living with my father again and for my sister’s complaints of sexual abuse to be paid attention.
It’s obscene that my sister’s safety should be so ignored. It does not make any sense that allegations of brainwashing should keep me completely from my father, while allegations made by my sister herself of sexual abuse do not keep my sister from living with my mother when she did not even want to live there in the first place. If she feels more comfortable living with our father, she should be able to do that. He’s an amazing father. I only wish that more kids had a parent who makes them feel as special as my father makes us feel. And as for my father’s supposed knack for “brainwashing” me, - If the consistency of my perspective throughout this tumultuous ordeal does not prove it to be a perspective all my own, then I do not know what will. All I have to offer is the truth. Plain and simple. Courts, lawyers, state officials… they can all pick it apart and challenge it as much as they’d like, but when it comes down to it – the truth is one thing you cannot manipulate. Only people can be manipulated.
Please, do not allow yourself to be manipulated into forfeiting freedom to corruption in the single governing body under which are all united. Do not let fear oppress liberty. I understand that many people who have been involved in dealing with my case have been victims, too. I would like to take the opportunity to make it clear that my goal is not to avenge them. My goal is to show them. The only proper thing to do now is to show the truth to those people who have been deceived, and to show what is right to those people who have done wrong. As Benjamin Franklin once pointed out, “There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.” The evidence of this corruption is all there. I just need someone to help me get my voice heard and to encourage others involved to stand up to it.
Sincerely,
Talia Ray
