Subject: RE: Hon. Rep. John Conyers Jr., Judical Comm Review

Greetings Jane Mackey and Katie Gorno:

Please find attached herewith 26 pages in 4 pdf format files for Representative

Conyers review and consideration.

As you know, last year we had H.R. 5575: Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking

Deterrence and Victims Support Act of 2010; however, it did not make the

President's desk for his signature and/or enactment into law.

The Senate has reintroduced the bill as S. 596 and the House has yet to

reintroduce their version, therefore, I do and herein respectfully request

further review and due diligent consideration for the purpose of fast-tracking

said same if possible.

I have also attached the Sexually Oriented Business purposed bill from the State

of Texas for review and consideration as well and with all due respect regarding

possible federal enactment of regulations nationwide.

Respectfully yours,

ALCOHOL, DRUGS, SEX & GUNS – CORPORATE POLITICS IN AMERICA

The recipe for campaign finance strategies to ensure stakeholder’s business interests are increasingly profitable, while cooking the books to reduce costs and eliminate tax liabilities, workers compensation and other such expenses.

To stir-up the pot a little, add a fifth each of Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnnie Walker, Jose Cuervo and Bacardi 151.  Mix well and serve with or without ice.

While serving the drinks add a pinch, smidgen or dash of narcotics according to personal taste and distribute freely.

As bipartisan parties, lobbyists and associates comingle with groomed sex-workers, campaign finance managers, human resource agents and armed security bouncers collect personal guarantees, promises, contributions and other such collateral to ensure that all stakeholder business interests are without question protected including their suppliers who need additional protective services.

After having brought everything to a hard boil for a few minutes, serve the remaining politicians or other guests with a taste of this recipe and indeed they too will get in line with, waiting and/or holding their hands out wanting to share in the unlimited profits just to have a piece or slice of the Corporate American Pie.

Self-fulfilling recipe for political corruption and criminal enterprise parties, either serve and feed the beast or starve it to death and end the suffering.

$10 Million Settlement for Exotic Dancers a Not-So-Exotic Outcome in Wage Class Actions

Originally Posted by Holli Hartman on April 08, 2011

A class of exotic dancers in California and other states have received preliminary court approval of a $10 million settlement of their class action suit in which they claimed that their adult nightclub employers misclassified them as independent contractors.  Trauth v. Spearmint Rhino Companies Worldwide, Inc.pdf (Case No. 5:09-cv-01316) (C.D.Cal).
The Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Department of Labor and many state labor departments also are looking to lay bare employers who they claim are misclassifying their workers.  In an effort to collect more employment tax revenue, over the next three years, the IRS plans to randomly select and audit up to 6,000 businesses that use contractors.  The DOL stated in its 2011-2016 strategic plan that it will partner with the IRS to root out employers who continue to misclassify employees as independent contractors. 
The government efforts likely will arouse the interest of workers eager to seek unpaid minimum wage and overtime pay through class action filings.
The Bottom Line:  An employer can be nakedly exposed to a wage and hour class action unless workers are properly classified.
