I'm taking a stand to end slavery: modern-day labor, sex trafficking and child abuse...

Stephanie Brown, Richard's 17-year old granddaughter, died of a fatal drug-overdose on March 16, 2007, after being hired at a local downriver strip-club in Lincoln Park, Michigan, where two patrons (a volunteer basketball coach and an ordained minister) including a dancer at the club, sex-trafficked Stephanie to a local motel down the street and where she died that morning.

Together the State of Michigan and Stephanie's family successfully prosecuted a drug-dealing, junior high school volunteer coach and later settled out-of-court with the strip-club for employing an underage person for sex-work. However, Richard continues to pursue other legal rights, causes and criminal investigations in human and labor trafficking cases regarding Stephanie's death at the local, state and federal levels including international awareness and education.

Richard Sands is a Retired Professional Investigator from Southgate, MI

Organizing is centered around personal stories — this is where you can tell yours. Why are you in? Let your fellow organizers know who you are, where you’re from, and why you’re here.

“Why I’m in” It’s the political agenda, mission and goals of our own Democratic Party that has, without question or exception, filled my heart with sincere hope for a better tomorrow by following and supporting President Barack Obama’s leadership in rebuilding America from the bottom up. “We the People” ought to and “Yes We Can” matter most to each other including our own family, friends, and community’s safety, health and welfare issues and indeed, before or above any corporate personhood special interests that we did, in-fact, help to build.

My name is Richard Sands, I am one of three 2012 Southgate 10th Prescient Delegates for the Democratic Party, I am working on my Master’s degree in Social Justice at Marygrove College, the Board Chairperson for Michigan Rescue and Restore Coalition http://www.michiganrescueandrestore.com/, as well as a State Ambassador for the United Support and Memorial for Workplace Fatalities http://usmwf.org/.

Looking forward to working together with everyone and please feel free to contact me or review the following website and my blogs to get to know me a little better, thank you.

Bain Capital Under Investigation For Tax Avoidance-Romney Denies Any Benefit

 

 

Did Clint Eastwood steal Romney's thunder? Dirty Harry’s PoliTricks Message 4U

 

All right. I started, you finish it. Go ahead.

AUDIENCE: Make my day!

I wondered about when the -- what do you want me to tell Romney? I can’t tell him to do that. I can’t tell him to do that to himself.

(APPLAUSE) Clint Eastwood’s message was brilliant social engineering that said, “YES WE CAN” His own Party and US Democrats will in November....

The New York Times is reporting that Bain Capital, the private equity firm founded by GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, is among a number of firms being investigated by New York Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, for failing to pay taxes.

HERE ARE SOME HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS REASONS WHY SEX-TRAFFICKING CONTINUES TO CAPITALIZE ON THE DEMAND!

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/08/28/rapists-beware-detroit-prosecutor-ids-21-attackers-in-rape-kit-probe.html

Repeating, Reposting and Sharing: HERE ARE SOME HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS REASONS WHY SEX-TRAFFICKING CONTINUES TO CAPITALIZE ON THE DEMAND!

Rape-kit pileups aren’t just a problem in Detroit. In recent years, cities across the country have reported mountains of kits—11,000 in San Antonio, 1,200 in Albuquerque, 4,000 in Houston—according to Sarah Tofte, who has studied the national debacle for the advocacy group Human Rights Watch. Experts estimate that hundreds of thousands of kits are languishing in police warehouses.

If that rape kit had been tested and entered into the database sooner, the man could have been caught sooner—and five women’s lives could have been saved.

Corruption Dare No Longer Be a Taboo Topic in This Presidential Election

First, the sheer magnitude of cash in the elections has a nasty smell. Not since "Watergate" in 1972 have major financial contributors to presidential election campaigns been able to hide their identity as so many of them are now able to do. The Supreme Court asserted in its 2010 Citizens United ruling that as part of the Constitutional right to free speech, organizations and individuals could use their money as they wish, privately and anonymously, in support of whatever political views they might hold.

This is a huge blow to transparency and an invitation to corrupt practices. This year's elections may involve more than $2 billion in campaign cash and it is hard to believe that the biggest donors will not expect to enjoy powerful influence if their candidates win office. The voter sees this and is appalled. The 2008 U.S. elections involved close to $1.8 billion of campaign cash -- how much of it bought special access, special favors and special influence to those with politicians to those who made particularly generous contributions, and those who "bundled" the mega-contributions on behalf of candidates?

Second, many prominent politicians have been brought to justice in recent years by courageous public prosecutors. As each new case hits the headlines, so over time the combined impact is bound to damage the image of all engaged in politics. Rod Blagojevich, former Governor of the State of Illinois, started a 14-year-jail term this year on being found guilty on 17 charges of fraud and corruption -- the harshest sentence that any politician in the U.S. has received in modern times for graft. From Illinois to New Jersey and New York State, to Alabama, California, Florida, Louisiana, Ohio and the U.S. capital of Washington D.C., prominent politicians and public officials have been indicted for corruption and, in many instances, current investigations into corrupt politics are underway. The public reads the stories in the local media, one upon another, as a sick compendium is compiled.

Third, the 2008/2009 financial crisis, which devastated the economy, owed much to the transformation by Wall Street of financial services firms into casinos. But, none of the leaders of the biggest mortgage companies and banks have been indicted for wrong-doing and many of them, who lost their jobs, took home multimillion dollar compensation packages. For many Americans there is an abiding sense that Wall Street financiers participated in massive corruption and got away with it, thanks to their cozy ties to the government agencies that are meant to be regulating our financial system in the public interest.

And, this takes me to the fourth reason why Americans are so concerned about government corruption: They see Washington, D.C. as a cesspool of special interest lobbyists who have made elected officials so beholden to them that Congress is in permanent gridlock, the federal budget is a disaster, the economy is faltering, and a host of enterprises, who engage armies of lobbyists, are prospering.
