Dear Readers;

Yep, that’s it.  Nothing.  Mary has now been railroaded into a guardianship with no service. We went to the sheriff’s office after having obtained the Record on Appeal (ROA) and they confirmed that there was no service (and I won’t name name because the ARDC is chilling my speech right now).   BUT they refused to provide an affidavit or any evidence of “no service” other than two cryptic computer generated documents that somewhat indicate window service, BUT NO AFFIDAVIT.  Of course, if someone is served, there should be an affidavit of service, but what of “no service”?  Can’t we get one of those also?  Apparently not.  Our request to sign a prepared affidavit ended up with sorry, no can do.

I guess the sheriff’s offices does not want anyone to have any solid evidence that defendants weren’t served.

Ken is right, the courts are erroding our rights, taking away our liberties, taking away the right we used to have to say this is part of corruption in Cook County and has to end–and the newspapers write about all sorts of junk.

Yes, maybe the honey bees are dying because of Monsanto and other agra chem companies, but at the same time–mega corps are slowly taking away our rights as citizens to say that seniors are being isolated, that seniors are being wrongfully refused attorneys to protect them and make sure their interests are being taken into consideration, and TV is filled with violence and junk and sex that is apparently protected.

Video games with horrible life themes get a pass, but when grandma will get guardianized, isolated and ripped off with nary a blip on the screen, the country turns the other way.

Our nursing homes are filled with grandmas and grandpas that don’t want to be there. Their paid up homes and bank accounts pay for it, and they quickly die in nursing homes being isolated with bad food, and often they are given psychotropic drugs against their will and consent.  Nursing homes are one of the largest consuming facilities of psychotropic drugs which wreak havoc on heart, kidneys, liver, etc.–and there must be informed consent to the individual to administer them, but all of this is routinely bypassed (see, In re Tiffany posts).  Plus, there are no psychotropic drugs which are FDA approved for seniors, so what gives here?

And then, if you want to get elected, we have the Chicago Tribune article saying you must pay “the machine $30,000”–all from the mouth of a recently elected judge.

I see people going nuts and bezerk for animal rights, and that’s good, but if we don’t start protecting people first–in particular grandma and grandpa and their right to an attorney, their right to live in accordance with their advance directives, some mega corp will quietly take over and take away the rights of animal activists to do their work, well, because if humans no longer have or need their Bill of Rights, animals certainly don’t have one and that will be the end of that.

It’s good to protect the environment, it’s good to take care of Fluffy and Fido, don’t get me wrong.  But right now grandma and grandpa are in trouble, and placement in a nursing home against their will, drugging and isolating them seem the norm.

And if you think the politicians aren’t cozily in bed with this system. Think again.  In many nursing homes, the nursing home gets the senior to apply for an absentee ballot, and when they get there, they are filled out en masse–and not by grandma and grandpa who is drooling in the corner.

Where are the elections judges at the nursing homes and why don’t we have online voting yet? We know how many people live in a household according to driver’s licenses, why not do it that way?

Because there’s more going on, that’s why.

Write, call, fax your representative today and tell them the contributions to get a judgeship in Chicago must end and all seated judges must immediately disclose what and when they paid ANYONE and that includes “the machine”–either directly or indirectly.

Write, call or fax The Honorable Timothy Evans and ask him about all of this. Why wasn’t Mary served and why won’t the sheriff’s office provide affidavits of non-service to take to court.

Write or call your representative and demand online voting according to driver’s licenses and state ID’s for people that want this.  No one should control votes.  Any voting from a nursing home should be highly scrutinized and why isn’t the election board doing this?
