Historical email correspondence record with comment from 2002 through 2004.

When a person lets down their guard by something being normal, not being worthy of extra attention, mistakes are made.

 This is old so links are most likely not going to work.


 

On the very day I made arrangements to attend the meeting that would start the entire chain of events into an action state, by deciding to accept the position of Program Director for L.M. Communications in Charleston, South Carolina: The Reverend Darby was posting to the Guestbook on the Internet site of his church, (Morris Brown AME Church Guestbook http://www.theguestbook.com/vgbook/236458.gbook?4) .

 

Name: Rev. Darby (Homepage)

Comment: Please pray for the poor souls who made the last entry I read and others who resort to using church site guestbooks to push theirInternet porn. They truly need a touch from Jesus.

 

Business was usual for Reverend Darby.

Business was to just begin for me.

 

Business with the EEOC was continuing normally.

 

On 4, August 2003 I was forced to submit a letter requesting a politician’s intervention into a case, I was pending with for nearly a year, before the EEOC.

 

It was the result of actions taken against me, in literally death-scared tactics for having tried to uphold the civil rights of a person who: was totally unknown to me other than having resigned for a part-time position, after I had determined she was qualified to fill a position that needed changing for many, many professional and justifiable reasons, and a person who had genuinely been deprived of equal pay and equal opportunity, and after her resignation, to a continued use of her case to deprive me of the rights under my case.

 

Our condition was to change from job seeker, to employee-spouse, to victims, to defendants, to litigant, to victims, to investigators, to litigants.

 

We are in the final stage at this point.

 

The single largest allegation made in the letter to The Honorable Senator Lindsey Graham on 20, August 2003, was the display of an email message, from The Reverend Joseph Darby, a future candidate for the Presidency of the NAACP, in which he referred to knowledge of a case, from the African-American female I had been tortured for having attempted to uphold her’s, and then my own, civil rights:

 

That letter establishes the awareness of The Reverend Darby of the case of that aggrieved party, long before it was accepted for processing by the EEOC.

 

That letter did not contain this material, whereby, beyond not only a reasonable doubt, or a preponderance of the evidence, but by a total: beyond any doubt, will prove there exists an established connection between the executive officers of the South Carolina NAACP and the EEOC, where cases filed, through the executive officers of the South Carolina NAACP, received not only preferential treatment but a higher priority of justice.

 

It will further prove, the depth of such an illegal connection, while the nature of the breadth of the measures employed, by such a connection, has disclosed a corruption of the highest level, destroying the myth, my wife and I held dearly, that the laws of this land were being administered according to the laws of this land.

 

The documents backing up every aspect of this case, all the way back to the first Internet page log-in of the radio consultant who found my group postings about the industry to be so agreeable, that he recommended me for the position I would eventually lose 45 pounds, a former controlled blood pressure and every single civil right afforded to me by the people of my own country.

 

I was not aware of a case, that took place between the EEOC and one of its own lawyers, Joseph Ray Terry, had sued and won a judgment against the EEOC, where Judge Jon P. McCalla, appointed by George H.W. Bush to Presiding Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee ruled in his favor.

 

In that case, it was proven that Joseph Ray Terry’s claim of “reverse” discrimination was factual, and it took a decade, to become unbearable enough, for Terry to take it to reaching a judgment.

 

This case reached intolerable nearly a year after it was filed. The EEOC case itself, never reached intolerable. I was fired before I had given up on completing the job I accepted the offer to do.

 

I was also not aware, nor was my wife, that the case of Ms. Patricia Thompson was specially treated access to her due process right.

 

We learned of what happened in the meeting with Ms. Thompson and the Reverend Darby in email, after it was over, and were curious if that would manage to get our case special attention too, and in doing so perhaps get it a chance in court at all.

The two cases were connected as one led to the other and were captured together by one employee of the EEOC for investigation, but not connected in how they were filed, or the treatment they received.

 

Where Ms. Thompson’s EEOC filing, dated [] was first given to The Reverend Darby for approval and amendments as he saw fit, then submitted to the very same EEOC employee, who was contacted in advance, by the executive officers of the South Carolina NAACP and was waiting for it to be sent directly to him, where the EEOC itself created the content of the EEOC form 5, starting legal proceedings, but only after the complainant’s privileged access, was satisfied by her signing it, and mailing it in, as if it came from her.

 

My case was filed directly to the EEOC, addressed to Mr. Billy C. Sanders, on 29, August 2002, where it received a date-time stamp of 2, September 2002.

 

I had read and had commented on Ms. Thompson’s complaint letter drafts as she asked me to critique them. When I finished my filing document, EEOC form 5, I returned the honor by asking her to review the text before it was printed to the form I had found following an exhaustive Internet search as I have no type-writer, at that time, no scanner and no way of printing to the form 5 without it being either scanned or a computer file.

 

She presented a list of changes, wherein my response was to disagree and ignore with every case-based change and weigh the grammatical license’s value of the grammar corrections.

 

When I was finished with the document I mailed it to the EEOC, as it was my intention to get it done that day.

 

To which Ms. Thompson responded to having been told of such, with:

She never commented about the final version when she actually saw it. But on the same day I was speaking to her in email, back and forth about another job, where I was hoping to be able to both use Ms. Thompson’s reference for me as a way to help acquire the employment, and to look into Ms. Thompson’s potential hire as a promotions person for that station.

 

The document I had submitted to her for review before my filing form 5, was the letter I wrote for her in support of her case. I wanted to make sure the facts were right. I was bothered by the response to that letter as according to this letter, received the day before the contents of my support letter brought out an opening response I no longer trusted.

I was of the impression the EEOC had no choice in the matter. A form 5 would have been submitted which according to their guidelines starts the process and is accepted once received.

 

Then who or what was she referring to?

 

I had known of a connection with The Reverend Darby, immediately before the first contact between The Reverend Darby and Ms. Thompson took place, and considered it to be the way Ms. Thompson’s case was going to get legal and hopefully emotional advice, but later learned it was influence they provided.

 

I wondered about that issue but thought, since it did not involve my case, then it did not involve me and if I were to say anything about that situation, my case would not receive any treatment. If the influence were strong enough to start an investigation, it would have to be strong enough to stop an investigation.

 

So it was the NAACP she was referring to as “they’ll” and worded as she understood the situation to be: the NAACP made decisions as to whether a civil rights case was filed or not.

 

She knew it for quite a while.

 

I had sent this message to her:

thanks for the 411

 

I have a very busy day ahead … won’t be able to communicate much … I may

stay here late this evening to work on a few things and tomorrow as well, if

I can’t find my cords to my computer at home and get the word processing of

it up and working, my modem is kuput so I can’t go online from home either

… I think my cord is in one of my boxes at my son’s house … still doing

the moving in slowly process … So, if I can make all that happen this

evening, I’ll be able to stay at home and work through the night and Saturday

to have this package ready to go to Washington, DC and after Rev Darby takes

a look at it ... Trying to make all this happen by Monday,

so I need to get busy with my “paid” work and get it done and out of the way

so I can concentrate fully on the “gonna get paid” work … and then I have

to take Moe to Columbia on Sunday …

 

So, I’m on my horsey riding … hard … ;o)

 

You all have a wonderful day … and I’ll talk with you as soon as possible

 

Luv & Hugs …

 

 

That is when we knew that the connection with The Reverend Darby was not for advice and counseling but for influence.

 

We became aware of the connection when the response to this email was received.

 

Just a few days after being fired, my personal computer email was still showing WCOO as my affiliation. I had not remembered to remove it.

 

The letter for Ms. Thompson’s case was written on 27, August 2002 and is hereby entered into the public record:

 

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

 

August 27, 2002

 

I, Lee Kent (Lee Kent) Hempfling, former Program Director of WCOO-FM a radio station owned by L.M. Communications II Of South Carolina Inc. and operated by L.M. Communications Inc. of Lexington KY. , located at 59 Windemere Charleston S.C. 29407 do hereby submit the following statement on behalf of and in support of the alleged EEO violations as submitted by Patricia Thompson, a Black, former part time radio announcer with same … as follows:

 

When I arrived at WCOO to begin my duties as program director I searched for documentation regarding current employees to determine the pay scales and terms whereby new employees would be hired in relation to existing employees.

 

The only records I could find were copies located in my department and consisted of a few disciplinary records on past and present employees and two statements providing wage information. I could only assume that current part time employees were being treated equally.

 

I asked General Manager Charlie Cohn what the rate was for part time employment in programming as both records on file indicated a vast discrepancy with one person receiving over $9.00 an hour and another receiving a monthly salary in order to keep him below his required disability earnings limit even though he was paid for outside work by writing the checks to his girlfriend instead of him (Wayne Morath).

 

There were no pay records in the programming files for Patricia Thompson.

 

Cohn’s response was between $7.00 and $7.50 per hour after he inquired whom it was I was planning to hire. At that time it was Jessica Mickey to work Sunday mornings. This was before Ms. Thompson left the station.

 

I again asked Cohn the same question when I hired Dwight (Landon) Lane for part time on Saturdays with the same response. This was after Ms. Thompson left the station.

 

I was appalled to find out at a later date that Patricia Thompson had been with the station longer than any other part time employee and had been receiving far less in hourly rate.

 

During the initial stages of my taking over the programming of WCOO I evaluated each employee’s on air work performance and determined that Patricia Thompson was the most qualified current employee for promotion to full time status. This was based on my listening to her show and to tapes of her show provided by Ms. Thompson as the station did not have an air check machine so she taped her show on her own machine.

 

After approximately 30 days of evaluation I approached Cohn informing him that I had decided for the best interest of the station’s ratings potential to replace Linda (Logan) Grumbein in “middays” on air and to replace Wayne Morath (Skip St. John ) in the afternoon position and would be seeking the best qualified candidates through public advertisement in trade journals and on line trade publications.

 

At that time I informed Cohn that I was thinking of Patricia Thompson as the midday replacement. His response was an emphatic ‘no’ with the reason given that he ‘had issues with Trish’. He offered no further explanation at that time.

 

I placed an equal opportunity ad on AllAccess.Com, and TVAndRadioJobs.Com for the afternoon position as a blind box because of the concern that both current parties would be disgruntled if they knew they were being replaced.

 

Only Mike (Allen) Almond, then program director of WYBB (the sister station), Cohn and myself knew of the ads being placed.

 

Shortly after the placement I listened to both Grumbein and Morath’s air shifts and wrote an aircheck critique and letter to both separately indicating the problems they had on the air and the problems I had with their execution of the format.

 

Both Grumbein and Morath approach Cohn about the critiques and wrote complaint letters about me to Cohn threatening legal action for having dared tell them how they were to perform their jobs.

 

It was then that I looked deeper into what personnel records I had access to and noticed that Grumbein had been hired as full time status the day after I left for Charleston from Phoenix, Arizona. Such hiring was without equal employment opportunity as no public notice was made of the opening and no person within the station or outside of the station was given the ability to compete for the position.

 

When I arrived I had been treated to a good deal of gossip about fellow employees from both Grumbein and Morath and Leslie Twigger (Office Manager) with Grumbein specifically referring to Patricia Thompson in derogatory terms and telling me to watch out for her.

 

After careful consideration of the employees in the department I found the truth to be the opposite. Grumbein was the one to watch out for. Patricia Thompson was a professional and did not fit in with the unprofessional bickering and backbiting going on inside the department from Grumbein.

 

Over the course of my employment I repeatedly approached Cohn about the midday position (afternoons were filled by hiring John Majhor of Sante Fe, New Mexico and severing the employment of Morath ) and each time I reiterated my strong belief that not only was Patricia Thompson the most qualified person in the building for the position but the station did not have a single full time black employee in programming. (Denise Moseley was the only other black employee and she was the receptionist). I strongly believed the station required an ethnic presence for proper presentation of the format and it appeared to me that the station did not care to do so.

 

When Patricia Thompson resigned from the station she broke down and cried when she informed me of her decision. I told her I was planning to train her more as I had intended to move her into full time. She did not know at that time that I had been trying to do that without success.

 

Ms. Thompson wrote a letter to L.M. Communications owner Lynn Martin in which she described the hostile environment she had suffered under while working in his station and told him of many other goings on all of which I was aware of but was unable to do anything about as I could not remove the two persons mostly responsible for the environment problems (Grumbein and engineer Bruce Musso who had begun a threatening email campaign directed at me and had been intimidating the staff I had hired ever since I had insisted to Cohn that the station have a black full time staff employee) and I could not do anything about Cohn’s obvious distaste for involving Ms. Thompson in any station position.

 

I was aware of a letter written by Ms. Thompson prior to my arrival where she brought up the problem of her not being given fair treatment for full time status and promotion and even though I do not remember her mentioning race in that letter it was my first reaction in reading it knowing the mannerisms and facial expressions used by Cohn when speaking of any minority person.

 

In fact Cohn blamed the lack of sales for WCOO on the station not having a black salesman when it was obvious to me that color had nothing to do with sales. Cohn repeatedly tried to talk me into getting rid of the ‘black’ format and to change the station to an all 80’s format. Considering his close relationship with Musso and Musso’s continuous attacks on me and those who worked for me I was convinced the problem was similar to Musso’s racial bigotry, flying the confederate flag on his truck and carrying a gun in it as well.

 

Shortly after her letter to Martin; Cohn and Almond approached me to inform me that they had offered a full time position in traffic to Ms. Thompson. It was not necessary for them to tell me that as I knew better from word inside the station and from Almond talking away from Cohn earlier in the search process for a midday replacement. I knew they were lying and trying to make up a cover story and they were trying to include me in it.

 

Management was instructed by Martin, the owner, not to have contact with Ms. Thompson while any potential legal issues were outstanding yet knowing this, Cohn ordered me to call her to see what she wanted while at the same time insisting he would never hire her. I refused to disregard the owner’s orders. I told Martin I considered that act to be a set up.

 

Also shortly after that letter Cohn ordered me to train Denise Moseley as a part time air staff member. When I tried to coach her he refused to allow her to be coached unless it was on her own time. That move was simply to put a black person on the air, qualified or not and the refusal to permit coaching during paid working hours amounted to Cohn’s insisting Moseley learn the job without the benefit of instruction thereby guaranteeing she would not learn. Cohn interrupted a training session and yelled at Moseley that she was not to do that on company time.

 

Weeks went by when finally Consultant Don Hallett approached me at the station on an in station visit with Martin and told me it had been decided to replace Grumbein and that if I wanted “Trish” I should get a demo of hers and send it to him. I was then supposed to remove Grumbein, advertise properly for the position and include Ms. Thompson’s demo as an applicant and if I still felt Ms. Thompson was the most qualified for the position that it would pay mid 20’s and would be a full time position.

 

Cohn rejected the instruction and refused to permit Grumbein’s replacement with Ms. Thompson or Grumbein’s discharge. I strongly believe the reason to be that Ms. Thompson had complained about unequal treatment in the past and Cohn refused to deal with that.

 

When I later learned that Ms. Thompson was working for a lot longer and at a much lower pay scale than her white counterparts I was appalled that such behavior had been permitted and apparently condoned by the ownership.

 

The EEOC is welcome to any material I have on file relating to WCOO and L.M. Communications (in all three of its incarnations) and they are offered in support of the correction of wrongs perpetrated upon Ms. Patricia Thompson and all other minority persons who have or may have worked for that company.

 

I was fired on July 22 2002 which occurred the second day of the week following my airing of a parody commercial on WCOO that I wrote and produced using one of my character voices that spoke of the confederate flag as being a display of treason. I am convinced it was a major part in my discharge.

 

A replacement morning personality was hired after I left without advertisement, without equal employment ability for any other race, creed, sex or national origin to compete for said position and the person was hired part time at what I believe to be $8.50 per hour.

 

Hallett on behalf of Martin had asked me repeatedly if I intended to remain with the station until retirement. The answer was repeatedly, yes.

 

I took the position based upon Martin’s initial statement to me in the employment interview that he desired to have me stay until retirement even though the money offered was less than the initial discussions.

 

I thought I could make a difference inside that station by standing up for what was right and at nearly 50 years of age an offer of ‘stay until retirement’ was a valuable asset in taking a position.

 

I repeatedly, both orally and in writing requested a full time black employee in programming. The issue was repeatedly ignored.

 

Sincerely

This letter was necessary for me to write, if only to justify my involvement in my own case. If Ms. Thompson’s case was not true on its own merits, whether or not something ‘fishy’ was going on about its getting legally handled, then I did not have a case and would have been either horribly mistaken or the victim of fraud, or both.

 

That letter and the facts contained in it, convinced me her case was on sound legal grounds, and my involvement, was above reproach.

 

I was not convinced the connection through the NAACP and the EEOC was on sound illegal grounds until recently, when studying these emails showed the connection.

 

No response was received from Mr. Sanders.

Ms. Thompson,

Thanks for the info. All direct action has to be approved by our State

Executive Board, so I’m forwarding this to Executive Director Dwight

James

in Columbia. You can expect to hear from him, and can reach him at

803-754-4584.

>From what you say, a boycott may be a moot point since I wasn’t even

aware

of the station and they won’t be able to draw a black market share in a

competitive marker like Charleston unless they get some black “air”

talent.

If you’d like to discuss this further before you hear from Dwight,

please

page me at 814-8764.

Thanks,

Joe Darby

Hi SQ …

Reverend Darby and I have exchanged a few emails … he is considering a

different approach … I’ll tell you about it later … more on the lines of

ensuring that unsuspecting African-Americans don’t go there for employment

… that kind of an angle …

But, I did mean to email you earlier this morning … I want to go ahead and

get my inquiry to the EEO ready to take with me when I go to Columbia this

weekend and drop it off at their location on Sunday before I leave and I need

some information.

I am going to inquire into the Equal Pay for Equal Work aspect, and I know

what LL was making as a part-time radio announcer, even though she didn’t

deserve it, but I also need to know what Jessica, and those other weekend

guys, and Bobby and oh, I can’t believe I can’t remember his name … the one

that voice tracked on 105 and also part-timed on 98 … Thomas is his name

… how could I forget … whewwww, I knew I knew it … what they started at

when they were hired as part-timers.

This is very critical information that I need to know …

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MEGA MEGA MEGA MEGA MEGA MEGA HAPPY That

you are feeling better … Luv & Hugs … ;o)

Still no word from that Mandy person from the Post & Courier … maybe she’s

on vacation or something … and no word from anyone else either … but

sometimes, it takes a while … so, as you know I’m patient … but I do want

to have my packet ready for Columbia’s EEO office ... before I go out of town

for the weekend …

Talk with you later … ;o)

 

 

 

According to the EEOC web site, there is no office in Columbia. It is shown to be in Greenville. The NAACP office is in Columbia. The EEOC, even if there were an office in Columbia, would not be open on a Sunday for a special delivery.

A response …

 

Also, your MEGA summary is MEGA Excellent … after going over it in detail,

for the most part, when I finally reached the end … I wish you would have

elaborated more in your staff meeting notes that you sent to DH after our

first meeting together as a staff … on the specifics of my enlightening you

on the tension between me and LL … it would have established a broader

pattern from you as a new person coming in … but just the fact that you

mentioned it … makes everything that much sweeter and oh how sweet the

sweets will be …

 

I also heard from Joe Darby, and he’s invited me to attend the next NAACP

meeting, fourth Thursday in August, perhaps you should consider coming along

with me.

 

And, since Reverend Darby is from the Columbia area, originally, I believe, I

know he is not from Charleston, as he moved here from Columbia about 4 years

ago … I’ll reach out to him regarding “attorneys” I’m sure he has to know

of a few … at least one.

 

Would you mind if I share the MEGA Summary with him … I’m going to ask him

to set some time aside for us to meet and I’d like to take your MEGA Summary

along with me … if only to see how wide his eyes bulge … ;o)

 

Have a Tony Tiger G-R-E-A-T Day …

 

Some of your MEGA Summary was soooooo funny … some soooooo sad … but ALL

SOOOOOO HONEST!!!

 

Like SQ says … The good will prevail!!! ;o) And, that’s for MEGA sure!!!

And one of the reasons WMGL is on top now … is because they stole an idea

that we (Stevie and I) had come up with on our own (before your arrival) and

initiated because no one else would … proof also exists /shows when the

ratings were the highest for WCOO … the time I had # 1 & 2 on the

“freaking” weekends of all times and Stevie after 7pm … but, yet we didn’t

know anything … that’s also during the time when WMGL was at # 8, & 6 …

 

But now that they have the proper understanding … they are working it, and

rightly so, and just about an hour ago on my way to work … I heard a song

on WMGL that made me say to myself … We’ll there’s no way now … WCOO is

EVAH GONNA have enough juice to cut it now …

 

Especially since they lost and let go … one of the best things that had

ever happened to the station … I wish you could have came in when Ken

Carson left instead of Mike … Then you’d still be there, I’d be there,

Stevie might be there … but we could have ENSURED that WCOO remained on top

or in the top five at least, for each and every book …

 

THOSE KNUCKLEHEADS … Have a Jaguar and don’t know how to operate it or take

care of it …

 

And, in SPITE OF ALL THE CRAP you had to put up with by yourself … YOU

STILL made a difference and it only would have and COULD have gotten better

if they would have just let you drive your own car …

 

Don’t tell me anything else because I promised myself that I am not going to

let WCOO and the negligent staff and management there rent anymore space in

my brain … I don’t care what happens to them now …

 

I just want them to stop playing and abusing “MY” music … and I’m going to

do everything within my ability to see to it that the are STOPPED!!!

 

Tell SQ I remember what she was supposed to remember … hahaha ;o)

 

Get some rest … have a safe trip … kiss the babies for me … let me know

you made it back home safely …

 

And, just in case … send me some kind of access to FCC stuff … so, just

in case something happens, not trying to be negative … but just in case …

I can still help see our cause through …

 

Luv & Hugs … ;o)

evening at 7pm

i’ll try to contact Yvette … if she’s still over there where Steve is and

see what I can find out … if anything …

some people “know” how I am about business related issues … so they may not

be comfortable speaking with me, but I’ll try … also …

I may just go on over there in person and put in an application for

employment over there as well … hahaha …;o)

LK … take a look …

The time and a half pay for holidays is N/A for me because I wanted to work

those hours LIVE … so, I volunteered to do so … they had been scheduled

as voice track hours …

I lost a paragraph somewhere … when I was trying to move it to the proper

location something to do with either Linda or Bruce … can’t remember now …

but everything else is accurate … a few places here and there I added so

more …

I’ll have to print what I have … I need to leave in a few … by 5:30 to

meet Mr. Sanders. He just called and let me know he had arrived …

I’ll check email again in 10 – 15 mins … in case you have time to remember

the paragraph I left off … it was in green and an add on that I need to

mention …

Thanks … ;o)

filing of Patricia Thompson.

I respectfully submit these documents as a formal complaint filed =

against my former employer: L.M. Communications Inc. and its =

subsidiaries, L.M. Communications of South Carolina Inc. and L.M. =

Communications of South Carolina II Inc. and request an investigation =

and the pressing of charges for violating my rights under Title VII of =

the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.

 

=20

 

I seek redress of grievances for the violations of law perpetrated =

including those outlined in the FBI and FCC complaints attached as =

retaliation actions taken against me and such relief maximum as =

permitted by law to make me whole and whereas the discrimination was =

intentional: such compensatory and punitive damages as may be acquired =

as the maximum permitted by law including actual monetary losses, future =

monetary losses, and for mental anguish and inconvenience.=20

 

=20

 

Since it is outlined and proven within these documents that the employer =

acted with malice and reckless indifference I further seek such punitive =

damages to the maximum permitted by law.

 

=20

 

I further seek that the employer be required to post notices to all =

employees addressing the violations of each specific charge and advising =

them of their rights under the laws EEOC enforces and their right to be =

free from retaliation.

 

=20

 

I further seek the employer be required to take corrective or preventive =

actions to cure the source of the identified discrimination and minimize =

the chance of its recurrence, as well as discontinue the specific =

discriminatory practices involved in the case.

 

=20

 

I further seek specifically the elimination of any perceived non-compete =

condition and return of all monies provided to the employer in repayment =

of a forced moving loan.

Billy,

 

I hope all is well with you. I need some advice. I need you to tell me

something to keep me from being a nervous wreck. Last night Lynn Martin

the owner of LM Communications called me at my HOME number … I was

shocked to hear from him … How could he have obtained my number? Is

it on my complaint form??? Is he allowed to contact me like that now,

after

 

it’s been made official??? He called me from (859) 233-1515 at 7:11 pm.

 

 

 

I tried to have a decent / civil conversation with him, but I also know

that he realizes how serious this is to me. He indicated that he was

very disappointed with my actions and that he would fight it … and I

told him he could dispute whatever he felt he needed to … He tried to

imply that Charlie was offering me a position as a sales executive and I

informed him that this was not the way Charlie presented it to me and

that I specifically asked Charlie in what capacity was he presenting

this whatever it was he was presenting to me … and Charlie implied he

didn’t know …

 

 

 

Because Mr. Martin kept implying that I misunderstood Charlie’s

intentions, I told him because I knew he would take this position for

Charlie that I had recorded the conversation. He asked me if Charlie

knew I was recording the conversation, I told him no and that I’m sure

if he’d known he wouldn’t have said the things in the manner in which he

did. I further told Mr. Martin that I was further insulted and felt

discriminated against because of how he went about presenting the

so-called “opportunity” to me and that when all was said and done and I

verbally presented my argument, that he would take the position like I

had turned down a wonderful opportunity and now I had proof that that’s

now how it went.

 

 

 

Mr. Martin then asked me if he could hear the recording so that he could

judge for himself … I told him I’d have to think about it, that I

indeed wanted him to hear the recording, that I wanted to watch him hear

the recording, and asked when would he be coming to Charleston again.

He told me it would be early October and he also asked if I would send

him a copy in the mail. I told him I’d get back to him about that in a

few days.

 

 

 

Afterwards, as I recapped our conversation, I began to fell like, Oh My

God what have I done. How did he get my phone number … am I going to

start being harassed … am I safe at work now, or at home … I began

to feel that this might be some kind of intimidation tactic to try to

… I don’t know what … I just know it has me on edge right now …

and I’m concerned about his true intentions or is this just another ploy

 

 

 

If he contacted me and was not supposed to … what can I do about it to

ensure that he doesn’t continue to contact me in this manner? Or,

contact my current work place … They all know where I work Billy, now

I’m looking all around me, wondering if I’m being followed, all kind of

stuff man.

 

 

 

Please give me some guidance … As soon as possible … I need to be

able to think and right now … I can’t think about anything else … I

know what these people did to Lee … my God Billy, what’s going to

happen to me next?

 

 

 

So, if I all of a sudden end up injured or dead … this is becoming

scary … do please don’t think I’m being playfully jokey right now,

because I’m not … Please do not let this go … Please do not let this

go, if something does happen to me.

 

 

 

And, even more so than me, he asked about my son, Moe, whom you know I

don’t mind talking about … but now I’m worried about that … Moe’s

team plays the University of Kentucky on October 12 in Kentucky …

Maybe I should not let him go there … See, I did not want this to

effect Moe in any way, now I’m worried what if they do something to him

to get back at me … what if they get somebody to hurt him on the

football field … Billy, I would never forgive myself … EVAH …

 

 

 

Billy my mind is spinning … please email me, call me something …

before I explode from worry … Thanks, Take Care, Patricia ;o)

Good Morning…

 

Spoke with Denise this morning …

 

She said “they” received another letter yesterday. I told her it was yours.

She said, “Are you kidding me?” I told her it’s real. She said, “Thank you

so much, thank the both of you so much!”

 

Contact her so she can tell you herself … she overheard Conehead talking to

someone via phone … and something to the nature … he’s not worried about

it and just not wanting to deal with it … and something about mine -vs-

yours, one being more complicated than the other … I apologize, I can’t

remember, there was alot of background noise and then Conehead walked in to

the office there and she had to go … so it was real quick quick … but,

let her tell you!

 

I have to go … I’ve got to get busy, I plan to be away the rest of the week

after today … ;o) … So, if you don’t hear from me throughout the day,

I’ll contact you this evening, sometime … Take Care … ;o) luv & hugs …

Will I be receiving a confirmation letter and case number from your

office regarding the complaint I recently filed? I understand it has =

been

sent to the radio station (WCOO) but as of yet I have not received

confirmation that it has been processed nor of what the progress is.

 

Thank you

Hi, I tried to call you guys … and I sent SQ and IM …

 

To answer your question … I believe it took about 10 days or so to receive

mine in the mail … maybe a bit longer … can’t remember … but I’ll look

at the paperwork when I get a chance … I think it was about 10 days though

 

Give them a call and let them know you hadn’t received anything regarding

your complaint … that they’d received it or anything … Now, ;o) ;o) ;o)

you know it’s gonna take someone about a month to ready it all … right???

;o)

 

Just teasing … but yours was a lot longer than mine … and we both know it

was received “unofficially” …

 

Man, I’m gonna answer another email or two and then I’m gonna try to call you

guys again … then I’m gonna go to sleep … had a long weird day …

 

Oh, and thanks for answering my question, earlier this morning … I just

hadn’t had a chance to do much emailing today … it was very informative and

very much appreciated … In fact, I need to look at it again … I think I

only got to #4 and had to sign off …

 

Talk to you later … luv & hugs … ;o)

 

But my case was not received ‘unofficially’. It was transmitted in email and acknowledge in email with a question about it being in hard form. It was sent in hard form to the Program Manager, Mr. Sanders. It had not been confirmed and no number had been provided in confirmation.

Hi, thanks ;o)

 

I haven’t heard anything from anyone. Perhaps, you should make an inquiry to

the EEOC and check the status of your complaint. That’s all I can suggest.

I’m kind of letting it take its course. He assured me that he has

everything, will be investigating, has requested both our cases to be

assigned to him, that he would come here to take care of what needs to be

taken care of and I believe that he will. I’m sure we are not the only cases

he has to work, but I feel strongly that when it’s our turn he will give it

his utmost consideration and attention. I understand that they have a right

to request an extension in providing their input. With the “we don’t employ

more than 15 people” issue, I’m thinking that he is doing whatever he needs

to do in order to handle that situation as he sees fit in accordance with his

policies and procedures. He has to remain, also, in a neutral position,

regardless of what he may really think or feel and I’m sure maintain a high

level of diplomacy in order to work effectively for all of us concerned.

I’ve decided to let him drive the ship. I feel that what he’s told me and

that I’ve shared with you is valid and when the time comes to put all the

elements together, it will happen. I’m sure he cannot, suddenly, appear to

devote all of his attention to these particular complaints, or treat it any

differently than any other cases he has to investigate, all variables being

equal in the process. Even though we had an inside link, and I’m greatful we

did, who knows how long this process would take otherwise?

 

I thought Martin was coming in tomorrow, but maybe I’ll call Denise later

tonight and check on her and things … I don’t particularly care to hear

from Martin at this juncture. And, if he tries to contact me, I doubt I’ll

talk with him or answer his phone call if he tries to call me.

 

Hope all is well with you … I’m a bit tired from the trip but I need to

answer some emails and work on one of my projects for about an hour … Then,

I’ll try to reach Denise and I’ll call you before I go to sleep. Perhaps,

around 930ish!

 

Luv and hugs ;o)

Mr. Sanders

 

This email is an update query rather than pick on you at your phone number.

 

Can you tell me what the status of my case is?

Has LM Communications responded to my complaint?

Is there anything I should be doing to help you in your tasks?

 

Thank you for your efforts

Case: Lee Kent Hempfling vs. L.M.Communcations Inc. et.al.

 

Just to let you know that I have not received my W-2 form from L.M.

Communications yet. It is my understanding the law states they have to

be postmarked by January 31st. I am going to need to contact L.M.

or have contact made for me to get my W-2 sent to me unless it is

received soon with that postmark. Should I contact the IRS in this?

 

Our new phone number is 843-225-6310

 

Thank you

Wage and Tax Statement, Form W-2: Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, shows

wages received during the calendar year (including tips and other

compensation) and the amount of taxes withheld from those wages. At the =

end

of each calendar year, all employers must furnish a Form W-2 to each

>>> “Lee Kent Hempfling” <[email protected]> 02/06/03 10:47AM >>>

 

Mr. Sanders,

Thank you for your reply. I have performed the work necessary for your =

legal department to make the correct non-intimidated judgment. It comes =

from EEOC Notice 915.002 dated 5/2/1997 and clearly defines the employees =

within the defendant’s employ and

or management as qualifying under legal precedence.=20

=20

There can be NO arbitrary judgment by your legal team. Your team must =

follow the rules established by the EEOC as outlined below and I am =

surprised the legal team was either not aware of this ruling and regulation=

 interpretation or failed to look it up.

=20

This entire document is available at http://www.eeoc.gov/docs/metropol.html=

 .

 

According to this EEOC OFFICIAL DOCUMENT you must count all part time =

employees, all temporary help employees and all employees of other =

companies working with and or under the control of the same management. It =

is a cut and dried argument and LM’s deceptive practices shall not under =

any circumstance impeded this procedure.

=20

Jurisdiction=20

=20

The problem seeking legal opinion from the EEOC in Lee Kent Hempfling vs. =

L.M. Communications is one of interpretation by the defendant for the sole =

purpose of eluding accountability, which is the cornerstone concept of the =

Title VII act.

=20

42 U.S.C. =A7 2000e-2. Title VII defines “employer” as “a person engaged =

in an industry affecting commerce who has fifteen or more employees for =

each working day in each of twenty or more calendar weeks in the current =

or preceding calendar year, and any agent of such a person*.” 42 U.S.C. =

=A7 2000e(b). Title VII therefore covers an employer who has fifteen or =

more employees on his payroll for at least twenty weeks during a given =

year. Once coverage is established in a given year, Title VII coverage =

will extend through the following year, even if the number of employees =

falls below the minimum.

As to what is an “employee,” the statute is not limited to traditional =

definitions of employees. “Employee” includes all who “are susceptible to =

the kind of unlawful practices that Title VII was intended to remedy.”65 =

Thus, Title VII may apply even if the employee is an independent contractor=

.

=20

Employees who are susceptible to the kind of unlawful practices that Title =

VII was intended to remedy include all those workers who come under the =

same management and as shown above may also even apply to an independent =

contractor.

of what station they were paid for they all worked under the same =

By their own payroll and management processes there were no less than 16 =

persons not counting myself who were directly involved FULL TIME in the =

management and administration of the station I worked for who also =

performed the same tasks for the other station. The law requires they be =

counted as one unit of employees and to stop the time consuming harrassment=

 perpetrated by LM Communications. In my opinion, fines are due against LM =

Communications for dragging this process out.

Consult EEOC Enforcement=20

Guidance No: N-915, “Concepts of Integrated Enterprise and Joint=20

Employer,” May 6, 1987, and EEOC Enforcement Guidance No: N-917-

(BNA) 405:6951 (Section I, C.). Such employees should be=20

included in Respondent’s employee count.

=20

The conclusion is obvious from this document:

=20

If the jurisdictional prerequisite is not met, determine whether=20

the Respondent is integrated with another employer. See EEOC=20

Policy Statement No: N-915, “Concepts of Integrated Enterprise=20

and Joint Employer,” May 6, 1987, for a discussion of how to=20

determine whether the Respondent is integrated with another=20

employer. If the Respondent is integrated with one or more other=20

employers, determine whether the combined number of employees of=20

the integrated employers meets or exceeds the jurisdictional=20

prerequisite.

=20

L.M. Communications is an entirely integrated establishment. All employees

Are subject to the same direct and top management.

=20

The arguments of not complying with jurisdiction are nothing but a ruse

To escape the law and stop further proceedings through intimidation and

Elongating the processing time.

=20

As the plaintiff I demand a judgment that L.M. Communications did have

During the question time period more than the total required employees to =

qualify for EEOC jurisdiction and there is NOTHING in EEOC documentation =

that

Supports otherwise.

7. SUBJECT MATTER.

=20

I. Introduction

=20

The Supreme Court has held that the “ultimate touchstone” in=20

determining whether an employer has a sufficient number of=20

employees to satisfy the jurisdictional prerequisite for coverage=20

under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42=20

U.S.C. =A7 2000e(b), is “whether an employer has employment=20

relationships with 15 or more individuals for each working day in=20

20 or more weeks during the year in question.” Equal Employment=20

Opportunity Commission and Walters v. Metropolitan Educational=20

Enterprises, Inc., 117 S.Ct. 660, 666 (1997). The Court adopted=20

the EEOC’s position that employees should be counted whether or=20

not they are actually performing work for or being paid by the=20

employer on any particular day.=20

=20

In Metropolitan, the Court interpreted =A7 701(b) of Title VII,=20

which defines a covered employer as one who “has fifteen or more=20

employees for each working daily in each of twenty or more=20

calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year.@1 The=20

Commission has interpreted this provision to include employers=20

who have an employment relationship with 15 or more employees for=20

the relevant days, regardless of the daily work schedules of the=20

individual employees. See EEOC Policy Guidance No: N-915-052,=20

“Whether Part-time Employees Are Employees Within the Meaning of=20

=A7 701(b) of Title VII and =A7 11(b) of the ADEA,” April 20, 1990, 8=20

FEP Manual (BNA) 405:6857, EEOC Compliance Manual (CCH) & 2167=20

(“part-time employees are counted whether they work part of each=20

day or part of each week”). =20

=20

=20

The method the Court adopted is often called the “payroll method”=20

because “the employment relationship is most readily demonstrated=20

by the individual’s appearance on the employer’s payroll.” Id. at=20

663-64. However, the Court stressed that “what is ultimately=20

critical is the existence of an employment relationship, not=20

appearance on the payroll.”2 Id. at 666. The Court upheld the=20

EEOC’s interpretation, reasoning that “an employer ‘has’ an=20

employee if he maintains an employment relationship with that=20

individual” on the day in question. Id. at 664 (emphasis added). =20

The Court rejected Metropolitan’s interpretation that an employer=20

“has” an employee for a particular working day only when it is=20

actually compensating the employee for that day. Id. at 664. =20

=20

The Court also disagreed with Metropolitan’s argument that the=20

EEOC’s interpretation rendered the statutory phrase “for each=20

working day” superfluous. Without the phrase, the Court said, it=20

would be unclear how to count an employee who departs in the=20

middle of a calendar week or an employee who departs after the=20

end of the workweek, but before the end of the calendar week. Id.=20

at 664-65. The Court held that “all one needs to know about a=20

given employee for a given year is whether the employee started=20

or ended employment during the year and, if so, when. He is=20

counted as an employee for each working day after arrival and=20

before departure.” Id. at 665-66.

=20

The Court noted Metropolitan’s argument that the EEOC’s=20

interpretation could produce some “strange consequences,” such as=20

counting an employee who works irregularly only a few days a=20

month. Id. at 665. However, the Court observed that=20

Metropolitan’s approach “produces unique peculiarities of its=20

own.” Id. at 665. For example, by counting employees only on the=20

days that they are compensated, a half-time worker who works=20

every morning would be counted, while one who works on alternate=20

days would not. Id. at 665. Also, Metropolitan’s approach “would=20

turn the coverage determination into an incredibly complex and=20

expensive factual inquiry.” Id. at 665. “For an employer with=20

15 employees and a 5-day workweek, the number of daily working=20

histories [that would have to be examined] for [a] two year=20

period is 7,800.” Id. at 665. =20

=20

II. Charge Processing

=20

=20

The Supreme Court’s decision accords with the longstanding=20

Commission position that all workers who have an ongoing=20

employment relationship with an employer are counted for purposes=20

of determining coverage.3 The phrase “for each working day”=20

means simply that an employee is counted as an employee for each=20

working day starting on the day that the employment relationship=20

begins and ending on the last day of the employment=20

relationship.4=20

=20

There should be fewer disputes about the number of employees in=20

an employer’s workforce because the Court has made the rules=20

clear and simple. The Commission will assume in the first=20

instance that all individuals who perform work for the Respondent=20

are employees. However, if a Respondent alleges that some=20

individuals are not employees and/or alleges that it has fewer=20

than the jurisdictional prerequisite of 15 employees for Title=20

VII and ADA coverage or 20 employees for ADEA coverage, it will=20

be necessary to obtain and evaluate additional information.=20

=20

A. Information to Be Requested from Respondents Who Claim to=20

Fall Below the Jurisdictional Thresholds

=20

Since the information needed will vary from case to case,=20

information requests should be tailored to address the disputed=20

facts. Typically, it will be most effective to focus on records=20

about those workers whose employment status or dates of=20

employment are in dispute. In other situations, it will be more=20

efficient to obtain records of all workers. The types of records=20

that should be sought will typically include:=20

=20

1. Payroll records and employment contracts relating to=20

relevant workers for the year of and the year preceding the=20

alleged adverse employment action. Include contracts that=20

involve workers provided by temporary employment agencies,=20

contract firms, and other types of staffing firms. For example,=20

include maintenance workers and security personnel assigned by a=20

contract firm and temporary clerical personnel assigned by a=20

temporary employment agency.

=20

2. Personnel, payroll and/or contract documents that reflect=20

the dates that the disputed workers began and/or ended their=20

employment relationship with the Respondent.

=20

B. Determining Who Qualifies as an Employee

=20

=20

1. Evaluate whether the worker(s) whose status is disputed=20

are employees or are, instead, independent contractors or=20

otherwise not employees. To make this determination, consult =20

EEOC Enforcement Guidance No: N-915, “Title VII Coverage of=20

Independent Contractors and Independent Businesses,” September 4,=20

1987; and EEOC Enforcement Guidance No: N-915.007, “Whether=20

Individuals Who Are Partners, Officers, Directors, or Major=20

Shareholders in Organizations May Be Considered Employees Under=20

Title VII, ADEA, and the EPA,” July 14, 1987.

=20

* Example: The Respondent is a publishing company with=20

fourteen employees. It has recently installed a new computer=20

system in its office. The Respondent contracted with an expert=20

computer technician (worker) to perform a myriad of duties=20

relating to the installation of, and training on, the new system.=20

The worker’s contract will expire in six months. The Respondent=20

alleges that this worker is an independent contractor, and not an=20

employee. The Respondent does not supervise the worker or control=20

the details of how she performs her job. The worker is engaged in=20

a distinct occupation which requires special knowledge and=20

expertise. The contract, and thus the relationship with the=20

Respondent, will end at a specified time. The worker is not paid=20

by the hour, but paid to complete the specific job. In this case,=20

the worker would be found to be an independent contractor and not=20

counted as an employee.

=20

2. Determine whether the employees have an employment=20

relationship with the Respondent. Some employees who perform=20

work for the Respondent may be employees of other businesses,=20

such as temporary employment agencies or contract firms, but may=20

also be employees of the Respondent. Consult EEOC Enforcement=20

Guidance No: N-915, “Concepts of Integrated Enterprise and Joint=20

Employer,” May 6, 1987, and EEOC Enforcement Guidance No: N-917-

002, “Employment Agencies,” September 20, 1991, 8 FEP Manual=20

(BNA) 405:6951 (Section I, C.). Such employees should be=20

included in Respondent’s employee count. =20

=20

* Example: A temporary employment agency hires, pays, and=20

assigns legal secretaries to the Respondent’s law firm. The=20

Respondent supervises, establishes work schedules, and assigns=20

duties to the secretaries. If the Respondent is dissatisfied with=20

any secretary, it can require the agency to remove him/her. In=20

this case, the agency and the Respondent exercise sufficient=20

control over the secretaries to both be deemed their employer. =20

The secretaries are counted as employees of both the Respondent=20

and the agency. =20

=20

C. Counting the Employees

=20

The next step is to count the employees. The investigator should=20

do the following:

=20

=20

1. Determine the first and last day of the Respondent’s=20

workweek.

=20

* Example: The Respondent is a clothing store. The store is=20

open Monday through Saturday. Every day that the Respondent has=20

employees scheduled to work is a working day for the Respondent.=20

Accordingly, the Respondent’s workweek is Monday through=20

Saturday.

=20

2. If an employee began employment during either year in=20

question, that employee is counted as an employee for each=20

working day after arrival. For example, if an employee started=20

work on a Friday, that employee would be counted as an employee=20

on that Friday and thereafter.

  =20

3. If an employee ended employment during either year in=20

question, that employee is not counted as an employee after=20

his/her departure. For example, if an employee ends his/her=20

employment on Wednesday, (s)he is counted as an employee up to=20

and including Wednesday, but (s)he is not counted after=20

Wednesday.

=20

* Example: If an employer’s workweek is Monday through Friday=20

and during one of the weeks examined, it had fourteen employees=20

plus Employee A who ended his employment on Tuesday and Employee=20

B who started her employment on Wednesday of the same week, then=20

the employer has fifteen employees for each working day for that=20

workweek. =20

=20

* Example: If an employer’s workweek is Monday through Friday=20

and during one of the weeks examined, it had fourteen employees=20

plus Employee A who ended his employment on Tuesday and Employee=20

B who started her employment on Thursday of the same week, the=20

employer did not have fifteen employees for each working day of=20

that workweek because it only had employment relationships with=20

fourteen employees on Wednesday. =20

=20

4. To determine the employee count for each week examined in=20

the relevant years: a) calculate the number of workers who were=20

on the payroll; b) subtract any workers who were on the payroll,=20

but were not employees; and 3) add any workers who were not on=20

the payroll, but who qualified as employees of the Respondent. Do=20

not count any week where the Respondent had employment=20

relationships with fewer than the jurisdictional prerequisite of=20

15 employees for Title VII and ADA coverage, or 20 employees for=20

ADEA coverage, for each working day of a particular week. =20

=20

Lee the Fact Finding Conference scheduled for 4/24 and 4/25 has been

postponed because I have to be in Washington on Wednesday. I will

reschedule it when I return next week and will give you the date, time

and location. I am sorry about this because I want to move on these

cases right away before I get tied up with something else so bare with

me. Thanks, and if you have question let me know.

Yes you will need to be in attendance at the Fact Finding Conference and

I will get with you before the conference. Remember I am neutral so you

will be presenting your case before me at this conference. When I get

back in town next week I will explain the process so get your evidence

in order because you will be presenting it before me and them.

Thank you Billy.

I am presuming that I am not supposed to be at your meeting.

I appreciate your efforts and look forward to moving this ahead as well.

Good morning

(Hope this address still works 😉

I need one of the papers you have in the files I gave you months ago.

The Linda Logan position change form where she moved from

part time to full time.=20

If you can scan it and email it it would be great. If not I can manage

Thank you for the quick response.

Well…

In going over the history of documented materials

it is a two part intimidation based discrimination…=20

Started before I was hired, continued with intimidation after I was

hired, continued with intimidation after numerous demands for it

to be stopped were literally refused,=20

then when I was interviewed by their attorney and Mr. Martin about

Ms. Thompson’s first written complaint I agreed with the facts in that =

letter and

elaborated on the problems I was facing (with both Martin and the =

attorney)

after that it became intimidation to stop me from supporting her case

which resulted in my discharge since that decision came from Mr. Martin

and in completion of the original intimidation which was aimed at

getting me out before I hired an African-American full time.

I have a phone message slip for a call from another African-American

female looking for work. Denise Moseley (receptionist) met her when she =

came to

the station to fill out the application for the job (which was middays =

and was

officially open for interviews as I had a blind published job ad for it =

in numerous

trade journals across the country) when Charlie Cohn stepped in and told =

her there were ‘no openings’. He would not let her fill out even so much =

as an application.

I interviewed her later anyway and found she did not have the experience =

to=20

qualify for the job but he had refused her application.

I would rather get this over with and move on with our lives so a =

settlement

would be a nice thing to get it over with BUT if the way Martin has =

handled

this almost year old case up until now is any indication it would appear

So I’ll toss it to your suggestion as to whether to seek settlement or =

If we do go to court it becomes public and I’m sure the station does not

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi!

Are we still faced with a pattern of a stalling and evasive attorney?

Thanks

Good morning Billy,

Where do we stand?

 

 

One day to the year that Ms. Thompson dated her letter that resulted in the EEOC writing her form 5 for her signature, I was still politely requesting to have my case even started.

The first letter to The Honorable Senator Graham was placed in the mail on 4, August 2003, requesting intervention to have my case before the EEOC, started, to have the complaint for law violations submitted to the FBI, started, to have the complaint submitted to the FCC for regulation and law violations, started.

They all had one year in common.

So what is the connection, I might ponder? What is the connection that gets an EEOC case critiqued, connected through a backdoor, settled or allegedly, in the process of being settled, and then completely and utterly changed so as to pretend to destroy the case that would not go away?

Terry’s legal victory over reverse discrimination was for management of the EEOC.

Mr. Sanders is management in the EEOC.

Mr. Sanders’ entire case history is suspect and would undoubtedly clog the North Carolina courts with appeals. As the information contained in this document, and secured in the evidence, only copied here with headers, shows far beyond a reasonable doubt that a case: my case, was subjected to reverse discrimination by a member of EEOC management, after it had been found guilty of reverse discrimination in a federal court.

I can only wonder how deep the connection is, to have the FCC not recognize, not investigate, not confirm, not send receipt confirmation, be muddled in addresses and instructions and ignored for a year.

I can only wonder how deep the connection is, to have the FBI not respond to a submission of notice of a commission of a federal crime, submitted in email and hard copy, and to rule, once telephone contact is initiated from me, that it is not a case they will investigate, as it was not a current threat on my life.

My case involved a terrorist inspired graphic montage photo shortly after 9-11 of Palestinian terrorists pointing AK-47’s with a threatening statement attached. That was just one of the things put upon my family by that radio station, and the FBI found it not worthy of investigation? Domestic terrorism had shown its ugly head and the FBI ignored that one too?

My case has obviously been, a travesty of justice that shakes the very core of the reason this country was founded.

Upon Senator Graham’s office’s processing of my 4, August 2003 letter, within days I received a call on the cell phone Mr. Sanders knew I did not answer and the result was an email that changed every aspect of everything that Patricia Thompson ever said, wrote or acted upon:

Does not work that way. In fact, the documents in her file don’t mention

you in a positive way because she feels you were part of her problem and

did not go to bat for her for a full time job so you will need a

statement from her to support some of your case. RE: Harassment you need

to know that if they took some type of discipline against the harasser

and it ended we might not find a violation of the law despite having the

graphic info. But we will cross them bridges when we get to them. I am

waiting to hear from their attorney re the Fact Finding Conference. I

will be leaving the office shortly and will not be back until next

Wednesday so if you need me you can call me on my cell @ (704) 564-9464.

FYI

no response contact from Ms. Thompson.

But that’s ok.

Pretty much all of her complaint was filed in my complaint

as supporting documentation. They may have settled her

complaint but that does not lock up the documents in my

complaint. After all, if that was the case, she referred to

many of my documents in hers. There is no judge in this

land who would prohibit my case just because it was

referenced in her case.

And anyway, the federal judges here declared in 2001

that cases settled in private that involved current cases

will be opened upon request. It was an interesting

article where all 10 federal judges in South Carolina

stated their intention to open any closed file needed to

be made public for another case.

Hope all is well with you.

This letter, and the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, of his new story, prompted the second letter, as Senator Graham, in a personal letter to me, requested I provide: in which many details of the specifics of the criminal acts and reverse discrimination perpetrated upon me and my wife was provided.

That letter, 131 pages in length, with supporting email evidence, was written the same day Mr. Sanders insulted my knowledge, my record keeping, my pack-rat retaining of every email I send or receive and most importantly, Ms. Thompson, insulted my wife’s knowledge, record keeping and her pack-rat retaining of every email she sends and receives that matters.

Mostly, every participant in this entire illegal pathway of injustice, completely insulted I and my wife: in underestimating what it would take to put a stop to illegal corruption within the middle management ranks of the government of the country we both love.

My case was submitted correctly, to the office of the EEOC, while Ms. Thompson’s case was handled with special consideration and influence.

My case was sacrificed by the EEOC in order to secure a favorable settlement for Ms. Thompson’s case.

My case contains the documents submitted by Ms. Thompson in her case, which makes the story provided by Mr. Sanders in the last contact with him, completely destroy her case against the radio station, as she either lied in the settlement, or she agreed to, in the settlement.

Both my wife and I have suffered immense hardship and turmoil, physically and emotionally, directly from the actions of the EEOC, as well as the entire torturous period of the EEOC case that has been denied due process of law, by the EEOC.

The only solution to what has happened to us both, and what probably has happened to quite a few victims and their families in the past, is a total and complete restoration of law to the EEOC, and the elimination of the connection any special interest has to the EEOC and any other governmental agency, from both ends, and the rightful review of every single EEOC case, denied prosecution by those victims left wondering as well.

And the rightful review of every single EEOC case, that resulted in a settlement by the company charged in the case.

How many companies have been victim to the actions of the EEOC?

How long are congress, and the people of this nation going to let it go on?

This incident, all the way from the first log-in by the consultant, to the loss of what could never have been a friend, to the final insulting perjury and evidence tampering admission by the EEOC, has not, and never will reduce the intense logical conclusion I and my wife live by:

Racism, bigotry and discrimination, no matter where it comes from, is a fatal error of reason and the worst cancer on any species.
