Re: New York Yankees General Manager:
Brian Cashman is nothing more then a contemptuous little weasel, who has no boundaries, morals or scruples whatsoever.
His wife did the smartest thing by filing divorce.
Brian two publicized infidelities are the tip of the ice burg.
Brian is pathological in ever way, shape or form.
I have known Brian and his duplicities for years and I can't begin to start by telling you about this miscreant little nim.
You should continue to dig for dirt on him, because Brian is not what he appears to be.

Re: New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman:
Brian is a slime ball and is finally getting his just deserts, wait for all of the truth to surface regarding this lowlife bastard.
I have known this man and his duplicity for years and I’m glad he is getting what he deserves.
You will be amazed of what he is capable of doing.

To all concerned about the Greg Kelly rape case, you are automatically doubting the victim without any proof whatsoever about whether or not she is telling the truth, I know for a fact that Commissioner Kelly and his NYPD don't always follow through with serious cases that include high profile celebrity, so instead of judging the victims without true facts, let’s just wait and see what happens and whether or not Commissioner Kelly and DA Vance will do the right thing and do a though investigation in to Commissioner Kelly's son involvement.
I don't think she is making up anything, I just think she was scared because Greg Kelly is the Commissioner of the NYPD son and she probably thought no one would believe because of that, I know all too well what it's like not to have anyone believe you when you are attacked, because I too went through a similar experience and everyone refused to do the right thing and do a proper investigation in my situation, so what I am saying is I standby the victim until otherwise proving and all of you should do the same.
These are my own personal opinions and beliefs based on what I had experienced myself.

Re: Joe Paterno, Football coach:
I standby the victims of sexual assaults, Joe Paterno had the obligation and responsibility to do everything possible in his power to report the sexual attacks on those victims to the proper authorities and decided to turn a blind eye and look the other way, this to me makes him just as guilty as Jerry Sandusky involvement.
These victims didn’t ask to become victims of sexual assaults and are now currently scarred for life, as a victim of sexual assaults, I know more than anyone else what it feels like to carry that baggage throughout the course of your life and having to re-live the whole horrifying experience over and over again.
To this day, I continued to have nightmares and I will never be able to overcome what I went through, just like these victims will never be able to move on, we just have to do our best to live with it no matter what, that’s all we can do.
I hope sometime in the near future that these victims will be able to get the help they truly need and deserve and to someday overcome their heart wrenching experience of being sexually attacked.
My heart goes out to all of them and other victims of sexual assaults whether they are male or female, or even a child.
These are my own personal experience and opinions.

To all concern:
I extremely like Mitt Romney's stance on opposing Gay Marriage, Civil Unions and Gay Adoptions as well as his stance on the illegal immigrant debate.
Even though Mitt Romney is Mexican/ American, he has the commen sense and decency to stand up for his principals and beliefs and not allow any one group to favor another.
This country needs more men and elective officials not to be swayed by radicals, whose only motives is to bully people who don't believe in their beliefs, while these same radical criticized the very same people who they blame for going against them, everyone has a right to pick and choose and believe in what they deem is the right thing to do.
No one has the right to force anyone in to believing in their cause or to bully those people who go against them, that's what makes this country a democracy.

Re: NYC City Councilmember/Council Speaker Christine Quinn:
I have known Christine Quinn for several years and she is currently the front runner to be the next Mayor of the city of New York in 2013.
I strongly disagree that Miss. Quinn has what it takes to be the next mayor of the New York City, how can we trust and expect her to run the city of New York as Mayor if she can’t even control her councilmembers from getting in to trouble, she has a tendency to look the other way when it involves her councilmembers.
Miss. Quinn also has a tendency to make empty promises and give false hopes to people in need., she really talks out of ass.
Some of her current councilmembers have been involved with stealing discretionary funds for their own personal use and have either been found to be guilty and who are currently in jails, she has also distributed those funds to fictions organizations.
Miss. Quinn’s track records for overturning the will of the people by allowing certain elective officials to continue running for the same office when the voters have spoken about term limits
Miss. Quinn’s platform was to clean up City Hall, but to date has done nothing to keep her word; she is too involved with making a name for herself and rubbing shoulders with business people, the very same people who are ripping off taxpayers every single day.
Miss. Quinn has stated several times that she was going to put a stop to the member items and pork slush funds but today hasn’t done a damn thing about it, she continues to align herself with corrupted, unscrupulous people and then there was her promise to protect each and every voter and give everyone a say in policies, but I guess that changed, because when she decided to push down the throats of the voters by forcing Gay Marriage, she has violated her trust and her duties, Miss. Quinn says that everyone has a say but when it involves something that efforts, her, then everyone else has no say in anything.
Miss. Quinn has violated the trust of the Gay Community and the voting public, she say one thing but does another, Miss. Quinn can’t be trusted with anything, she is nothing more than a lying, two face career polician, whose only concern is for herself and her image.
If the people of the New York City are smart, they would not cast their vote for Christine Quinn, but rather for someone else who they can control to make sure that those people put in office will actually do what the voting public wants and needs, Miss. Quinn is nothing more than a pathological liar like the rest of all the other elective officials , I have only met two elective officials who actually have the voting people’s interest at heart, unlike Miss. Quinn who has been known to flip-flop on everything she says.
I can personal tell you that she has made me empty promises and false hope when she said she was going to help me when I had my lawsuit against the New York Yankees, the very same organization that Miss. Quinn has sucked up to for money and tickets.
Don’t vote for Christine Quinn for mayor, you will be making the biggest mistake of your lives.
These are my own personal opinions and beliefs from seeing Miss. Quinn in action.
Thank You.

Re: Recent release of several members of the gay bashing hate group known as the Latin King Goonies:
I like to start of by saying that it is a total disgrace and travesty of justice that several members of the Latin King Goonies gay bashers, were allowed to get off Scott free, I am not the least bit surprise at how the Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson handled this case.
Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson is a bigot ,when it comes to gay people and gay issues, his track record proves that, I ought to know, when I was assaulted and almost raped and sodomized by several New York Yankees baseball players and those baseball players committed oral testimonial perjury in their court sworn deposition, I produced evident to support my claims to Robert Johnson the Bronx District Attorneys office as well as Richard Brown the Queens District Attorney office and last but not least Robert Morgenthau the Manhattan District Attorney office, none of these District attorney wanted to get involved, because they were receiving campaign contributions from the New York Yankees organization and from none other then George Steinbrenner.
The job of the District Attorney office is to investigate any and/all claims of criminal acts and corruption, but some of these district attorney’s pick and choose which crimes to investigate.
The victims of these recent assaults and sodomy are not going to get the justice that they desperately need, unless we, the general public speak out loudly, we must not allow these criminals to get away and win, something needs to be done right hear and now, make your voice heard and say enough is enough.

Re: Crooked, Corrupted Politicians and their Pensions:
Former New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi’s admission of theft, these elected officials should lose and forfeit their pensions, when they are found guilty of and admit guilt for betraying the voting public’s trust.
That also applies to Former City Councilmember and Former Senator Hiram Monserrati, Pedro Espada, Former Assembly Member Brian McLaughlin and many others.
Enough is enough!
None of these elected officials should be allowed to keep their pensions.
The voting public should put on the ballots, an amendment that states that any and/all elected officials when found to be guilty will lose their pensions and no exceptions to that rule.
They also should be forced to pay back all the monies that they had stolen with interest, this will ensure the taxpaying publics continued trust in our elected officials.
This will be the only way to ensure that they don’t get away with continue to steal the tax payers monies and also make sure that they are not rewarded for their corrupted practices.

Re: Regarding the recent Gay assaults and bashings here in New York City:
My fellow human beings of the world:
I am total disgusted and outraged at the recent gay bashings that occurred and was reported in today’s Saturday October 9th, 2010 newspapers in the Bronx area of New York City,
I am here today to speak out and denounce the recent gay bashings against several individuals for being gay in the Bronx Area of New York City by alleged gang members...
I employ each and everyone in the world to rally and protest these recent gay bashings against gay people for being gay.
We are all human beings and should be treated as so, no one has the right to discriminate against anyone whether they are gay, straight, lesbians, Bi-sexual, transgender, male, female, White, Black, Spanish, Asian, Indians, tall, short, ugly, good-looking, fat, skinning or have any disabilities.
We should all treat everyone the same as we would like to be treated.
I encourage each and everyone to stand up and speak out and denounce any form of discrimination against any fellow human beings.
No one deserves to be discriminated against whether it be by verbal, physical, mentally, emotionally or financially, if you hear or see someone being discriminated against for any reason, you should speak up and denounce it and by all means reported it the proper authorities right away, don’t stand by and be silent.
As a former New York Yankees clubhouse attendant, I know all to well what it’s like to be discriminated against and assaulted and gay bashed for being who I am and that’s why I have decided to speak out and denounce these recent gay bashings.
Over the course of one month, six young youths have committed suicide for being bullied for either being gay or presumed to have been gay, this needs to be addressed rights away and things need to be done, so that other young youths don’t follow the same faiths as these six young youths have.
Other recent news of gay bashings took place in New York City’s Chelsea area and at the Stonewall inn, the past few days.
We need to teach these pigheaded minded people that they don’t have the rights to discriminate, assault or gay bash anyone for being who they are or living the lifestyle they choose to live.
Education and tolerance are the keys to stamping out all forms of discriminations.
We are all the same human beings; we all put our pants on the same way.
Do we not bleed the same? Are our hands not the same?, Do we not breath the same?, everyone has some member of their families or know someone who is gay or different in their lives and we all learn to accept everyone as equals.
No one has the right to say how someone should live, just because some people don’t understand how a person is or lives.
Just because a person is different, it doesn’t give people the rights to go out and hurt someone or even worse kill someone for being different.
We all need to ban together and do everything in our powers to stop all forms of discrimination right away, enough is enough.
Education and teaching tolerance is the only way we all can achieve our goals.
We have all these laws on the books that are suppose to stop all forms of discriminations, but so much more needs to be done.
If you or someone is the victim of any form of discrimination, by all means report it right away to everyone and put a stop to it right now.
I hope I was able to bring these recents events to the forefront and help people to think with their brains and stop discrimination in its tracks.
These are my own personally beliefs and opinions.

Re: The two recent Gay bashings the other days in New York City, one in Chelsea and the other at the Stonewall inn:
It’s outrageous and disgusting that this type of assaults against any human being whether they are gay or straight continues to go on in this day and age of the 21st Century; we have all these laws on the books that don’t seem to be able to stop this kind of behavior.
We need to teach these young people about tolerance and educating them on the differences of people and try to make them understand that not everyone is the same and everyone has a right to be who they are and live the life they choose to, no matter what and that even if some people don’t agree with that person’s lifestyle, it doesn’t give them the rights to go out and hurt people or even worse kill people because of their misunderstandings about how people live.
We are all human beings and should all be treated the same as we would like to be treated.
Education and tolerance is the key to understanding, trying to get the message across by showing and explaining the differences on how certain people are and live. It would not be wise to force any issues down the throats of anyone; this will undoubtedly not help our cause. It’s great that some of the gay patrons were able to chase those gay bashers down and hold them until the police arrive.
There is still more work that needs to be done, such as stronger and tougher prison terms.
Let’s hope no other person is assaulted or killed as result of being different.
We are not always going to get along with everyone in our lives and not everyone is always going to agree with every issue or understand everyone, but we must make the efforts to try and help them.
If anyone is assaulted and verbally abused, it’s always important to make sure that we don’t stay silence and we must all get involved if we wan’t any form of violence and discrimination to stop.
It shouldn’t make any difference if a person is White, Black, Spanish, Asian, Indian, Male, Female, Gay, Straight, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Young, Old, and Ugly, Good-looking, tall, short, fat or tin, we are all the same and everyone should start to get along with one another.

Re: The recent suicides of the following young youths:
These young children ended up committing suicide as a result of being bullied and for either being gay or perceived to have been gay. Asher Brown age 13, Seth Walsh age 13, Justin Asberg age 15, Billy Lucas age 15, Tyler Clementi age 18, and Raymond Chase age 19. We have failed these young children, because when these kids brought to the forefront the problems they were experiences, no one took the time to help them and put a stop to the constant bulling that they all had experienced.
Where were the Principals, Assistant Principals, Teachers, Teachers aids, Counselors, school boards, school clubs, Elective Officials and so on?
As a victim of discrimination and bulling, I know all to well what it feels like to be treated differently, because of who I am and when I complained about the problems that I was having with some of the baseball players at my former employer the New York Yankees, no one would take the time to help me or do anything about it, they just ignored me and pushed me aside, I suspect that is what had happened to these young kids.
They probably felt that they had nowhere to turn for help and they felt that killing their selves was the only way to escape from the constant abuse and bulling they were all subjected to.
We need to recognize the signs of depression and bulling and help these kids from thinking about killing themselves; parents need to recognize any and all signs such as appearance and attitude change, lost of interest in daily activities and they need to listen to their kids cries for help.
We are all one people, whether we are White, Black, Spanish, Asian, Indian, male, female, gay, lesbian, straight, transgender, bi-sexual, tall, short, fat, thin, ugly, good looking, young and old, we all have feelings and should be treated equally.
We should not be so judgmental, critical, mean spirited, or any other such things as that, no one is completely without having some type of flaws, whether it be, having bad teeth, bad hair, bad body, and some form of disability, we are all human beings and should all be treated the same as we would like to be treated by others.
We must help these kids in every way, shape and form from ever feeling that this is the only way out of their troubles.
We must do everything in our powers to make sure no other kids consider thinking about killing themselves; we all have some kind of problems in life and need to help those that feel too weak to go on alone.

Re: The recent Suicide of Tyler Clementi and the many other Young closed Gays & Lesbians:
I am totally disgusted and Outraged at what is happening to these young Gays & Lesbians Youth being forced to live in the closed and committing suicide for being whom they are.
Something needs to be done about this right here and now, we have all these laws on the books that are suppose to punish those people who are responsible for bulling these young youths, but they don’t seem to be helping.
As for the two people who are responsible for Tyler Clementi killing himself for being outer and Gay, they should be brought up on Manslaughter charges; it’s no different than if they pulled a gun or a knife on him, they are still responsible for causing his death.
They violated his rights to privacy and drove this poor young man to his death by posting his private sexual experiences on the internet for the whole world to see, it’s such an invasion of Tyler or anyone else privacy.
Tyler Clementi’s family and the other poor souls who died should force the elective officials and the justice system to bring stiffer charges against those people who are responsible for these young people committing suicide.
Counselors should also figure out the signs of troubled young people and do everything in their powers to help them get the help that these young people need, so that no more young teens would consider committing suicide in the near future.
Rest in Peace, Tyler Clementi, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Billy Lucas, and last but not least Raymond Chase.
These are my own personal opinions and beliefs.
Thank You.

Re Baseball Player Roger Clemens:
To all concerned all I can say it’s about time.
The little guy will finally prevail. I’ve known Brian McNamee from my days working for the New York Yankees and although he was extremely strange and weird, I have never known him to be a liar.
I’m finally glad to see the Roger Clemens has finally been exposed for the liar he truly is and I am not the least bit surprise at how his former baseball players would rally behind a known liar, it goes to show how much of a bunch of lying, losers they really are as well.
They should throw the book at Roger Clemens and all the others that were caught cheating with steroids and HGH, but as I predicted that Roger Clemens would be indicted for steroid use because if something wasn’t done about Roger Clemens then his Black counter parts who also used Steroids and HGH’s and went to jail would sue for discrimination, I have serious doubt that Roger Clemens would even do any serious jail time, he’ll just get a lighter sentence and a slap on the wrist, that’s how the justice system works for Celebrities in this country and world and if anyone disagrees, they should look at the news reels of celebrities in the past.
The United States of America’s justice system is nothing more than a joke and is far from being fair for any average person.
There are three sets of laws in this country, one for the rich and famous, the second for the average American citizens who is being forced and told to follow the laws and last but not least the laws to protect the law breakers such as the illegal immigrants.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Brian McNamee will finally have his day in court and have his damaged name restored and will finally win a Hugh settlements for all the dourest and stressed and treatment that he and his family has suffered at the hands of a crack pot Roger Clemens who’s lies has ruined a great persons reputation for exposing the truth about Roger Clemens and the other steroid Cheaters and HGH user, I strongly believe now is the time to make public all those other 103 or 104 steroid cheaters names so that the American people and people of the world can finally put behind them all this steroid and HGH nonsense.
These are my own personally beliefs and opinions.
Thank You.

To all Concern regarding the Mosque being built nears the World Trade Center:
I support it wholeheartedly 100%,
This reminds me of a person in California years ago who was the victim of Police Brutality, his name was Rodney King and he made a phrase saying and I quote “Can’t we all just get along”
These words we all should live by.
Not all Muslin people are bad people despite what happen on September 11th, 2001, I want to share with all of you about a positive thing that happened to me as a result of a handful of Pakistani Muslin, people who stood up for me during the Gay Parade of 2003, if all of you remembered the Marriage Equity was trying to force Gay Marriage down all of our throats and since I was one of the lone opposition to Gay Marriage, Civil Unions and Gay Adoptions and was publicly vocal about my stance, Marriage Equity tried to have me thrown out of the Gay Parade because they didn’t like me exercising my first Amendment constitution rights to freedom of speak and freedom of expression and, it was only then a small group of Gay Pakistani Muslin who stood up for me and allowed me and my deceased Lover Guillermo and a friend name Alex to march with their contingent throughout the course of that Gay Parade, although none of us knew each other it was one of the nicest things that any person or group has done for me and I will always be grateful to all of them for their support, none of those Pakistani Muslins had to do anything for me but they chose to get involved and support me because of what Marriage Equity was trying to do to me.
I strong believe this will be a positive step forward for everyone to try and get along with each other.
This is a true story.

Re: The Ticket Clinic law firm in Florida, what a big scam they are.
The ticket clinic law firm
310 University Drive
Plantation, Florida 33324
To all concern:
Don’t waste your time hiring this scam law firm or any other law firm to help you fight a Traffic ticket, because in the end you will end up paying for the traffic ticket anyway despite the fact that you are innocent, the cops and the judges in Traffic courts are crooks and thieves and don’t care if your innocent, all they care about is stealing your hard earned money.
I made the misfortunate mistake of hiring The Ticket Clinic law firm after seeing their commercial on television and I paid them $99.99 to represent me after I received a bogus, unjustified traffic ticket.
This corrupt Sheriff decided to pull 10 of us over to make his quota and gave us tickets that he claimed that all of us were speeding in a school zone, I can tell you for a fact that I was not speeding nor did I ever considered doing so and neither was any of the other 9 people, this Sheriff walked in front of all of our cars and asked for our drivers license, insurance and registration and without any response proceeded to issue all of us a traffic ticket for speeding in a school zone, we all would’ve have been morons to have done so (speeding in a school zone, that is).
I would also like to point out that it is virtually impossible for 10 cars to have been stopped by one Sheriff and handed a school zone traffic ticket within a 2 minute time span.
The Ticket Clinic claims are as followed by looking up their web site , and I quote portions of their web site, “Don’t pay that Ticket” from $5.00 (non moving) or $69.95 (moving) plus court cost if any.
Money back Guarantee! No Points, No School, No Court, we defend all traffic offenses, including 1) speeding, 2) suspended license, 3) reckless driving,4) DUI.
The first time my case was to be heard in Traffic Court at 11:00 A.M in the morning, I showed up at 10:30 A,M despite the fact that I didn’t need to be there, I waited around to see the lawyer who was suppose to represent me by the name of Ted Hollander, Esq. who never showed up, I called the Ticket Clinic up 3 times to find out why the lawyer wasn’t there and after the third time did someone give a weird answer stating that if you have a lawyer, your case is heard 3 hours earlier, I have never heard of such a B.S. excuse as that was, I said if my case is suppose to be heard at 11:00 A.M. how am I suppose to know if my case is heard earlier and how does the judge know if I am considering showing up at court anyway.
The judge refused to dismiss my traffic ticket despite the fact that the Sheriff had my license plate number printed wrong on the ticket and that my driver record is impeccable, all this should have been an automatic dismissal but the greedy, corrupt judge refuse to do the right thing.
I contacted Mr. Ted Hollander and after talking with him for a while, he had agreed to reimburse me for the attorney fees that his law firm charged me and would also appeal the judge’s decision and told me to contact his assistant named Par, but this arrogant jerk by the name of Mario, told me that there is no way that they are going to reimburse me the $99.00 legal fee and that they weren’t going to keep fighting my ticket that the decision is final and that I will have to live with it, I explained to Mario that Mr. Ted Hollander told me that he would reimburse me attorneys fees and Mario stated that Mr. Hollander didn’t know what he was talking about, what nerve this arrogant sub ornate has.
The Ticket Clinic law firm does nothing but flip flop back and fourth on everything they say.
I also requested from the Ticket Clinic law firm any and/all documentation that was submitted between the Ticket Clinic and the court with respect to my case, such as filings, motions and determination of judges decision, copy of my drivers records and so on, so that I may be able to see what exactly was done if anything was done at all, but Mario and the Ticket Clinic law firm refuse to send me the requested documentation that I asked for, I am extremely suspicious of them and feel that they did nothing and are hiding the truth.
Lawyers and law firms are suppose to by law to supply copies of any and all documentation that their clients request and charge them fifty cents a page to cover the copying cost Mario had the audacity to tell me to go to the court house to get copies because he claims that they don’t have copies this makes no sense to me or anyone else with an education Mario in my opinion and belief is nothing more than a liar I don’t believe that the Ticket Clinic did anything to help me or my case and just charged me the attorneys fees because of their reluctance to supply me the requested documentation that I had previously requested I believe they have something to hide>
These are my opinions and beliefs>

Re: Arizona’s U.S District Judge Susan Bolton blocking key elements of Arizona’s New Immigration law.
To all concern American’s:
Someone should slap some sense in to that wacko judge Susan Bolton and tell her where the hell does she get the right to go against the will of the American people and the will of the Arizona voting public.
Today, I would like to say that I am so ashamed to be an American!
We need a Revolution started in this country now and American’s need to stand up and take back this country known as the United States of America by force if necessary.
For far to long illegal immigrants have been getting away with to much for much to long.
We, as American’s continue to reward these law breaking criminals whose only motives are to destroy the very foundation of this once great country.
These illegal immigrants criminals sneak in to this country illegally which is a crime, steal our jobs, don’t pay taxes which is another crime, shake up with 40 or more people in a one bedroom apartment, steal our resources, such as medical care, child care allowance, housing allowance, food stamps and so on, rip off our system, by stealing people Social Security Numbers and Credit Cards information, sell stolen items such CD’s DVD’s Social Security numbers, fake green cards and other such stuff of that nature and we continue to rewards them.
These God Damn liberals are to blame for this whole mess.
These illegal immigrants are rude, nasty, filthy disgusting, diseased infected carriers, and if everyone remembers some of those illegal immigrants are responsible for the February 26th, 1993 World Trade Center Bombing and the September 11th, 2001 destruction of the World Trade Center and the plane crashes in to the Pentagon building.
Enough is enough, we need to start to wake up and take back this country by force and stop the continued flow of illegal immigrants from coming in to this country.
Illegal immigrants have more protected rights then American people do and the liberals are the ones who gave them those rights.
We, as American’s should go on strike and not be bothered to vote for any candidate, or be bothered to donate money or volunteer our time to help any candidate, weather it be Democratic or Republican and show them how important American’s really are, if these Elective Officials think that illegal immigrants are so important, let them see how important they are when it’s time to vote candidates in to office, that will show them.
I have lost all respect for cops, judges and elective officials and find most of them to be very corrupted and will never trust or support another one ever in the near future.
Law abiding citizens are always getting screwed over by the system and the American people need to wake up and say enough is enough.
The United States of America is nothing more than a big joke, that’s why the world is laughing at us, because we are all so stupid and no one has any respect for stupid people.
This country known as the United States of America is so lucky that I’m not the President of the USA, because if I was I would round up all those god damn illegal immigrants and deport them and place a huge fence around the United States and prevent any illegals from ever setting foot in this country again.
These are my personal opinions and beliefs from my own observations of illegal immigrants in my life.
Thank You.

This country known as the United States of America is so lucky that I’m not the President of the USA, because if I was I would round up all those god damn illegal immigrants and deport them and place a huge fence around the United States and prevent any illegals from ever setting foot in this country again.
These are my personal opinions and beliefs from my own observations of illegal immigrants in my life.
Thank You.

Re: Arizona’s U.S District Judge Susan Bolton blocking key elements of Arizona’s New Immigration law.
To all concern American’s:
Someone should slap some sense in to that wacko judge Susan Bolton and tell her where the hell does she get the right to go against the will of the American people and the will of the Arizona voting public.
Today, I would like to say that I am so ashamed to be an American!
We need a Revolution started in this country now and American’s need to stand up and take back this country known as the United States of America by force if necessary.
For far to long illegal immigrants have been getting away with to much for much to long.
We, as American’s continue to reward these law breaking criminals whose only motives are to destroy the very foundation of this once great country.
These illegal immigrants criminals sneak in to this country illegally which is a crime, steal our jobs, don’t pay taxes which is another crime, shake up with 40 or more people in a one bedroom apartment, steal our resources, such as medical care, child care allowance, housing allowance, food stamps and so on, rip off our system, by stealing people Social Security Numbers and Credit Cards information, sell stolen items such CD’s DVD’s Social Security numbers, fake green cards and other such stuff of that nature and we continue to rewards them.
These God Damn liberals are to blame for this whole mess.
These illegal immigrants are rude, nasty, filthy disgusting, diseased infected carriers, and if everyone remembers some of those illegal immigrants are responsible for the February 26th, 1993 World Trade Center Bombing and the September 11th, 2001 destruction of the World Trade Center and the plane crashes in to the Pentagon building.
Enough is enough, we need to start to wake up and take back this country by force and stop the continued flow of illegal immigrants from coming in to this country.
Illegal immigrants have more protected rights then American people do and the liberals are the ones who gave them those rights.
We, as American’s should go on strike and not be bothered to vote for any candidate, or be bothered to donate money or volunteer our time to help any candidate, weather it be Democratic or Republican and show them how important American’s really are, if these Elective Officials think that illegal immigrants are so important, let them see how important they are when it’s time to vote candidates in to office, that will show them.
I have lost all respect for cops, judges and elective officials and find most of them to be very corrupted and will never trust or support another one ever in the near future.

Re: New York Yankees Owner George “Turkey Neck” Steinbrenner Dying:
"Ding-Dong! The Evil Bastard is Dead!"
Don’t expect me to shed any tears for that evil man, who went out of his way to hurt everyone. Steinbrenner is no saint and shouldn’t be treated as such.
He made everyone’s life miserable, and I’m one of the few who's glad that he's finally dead! I sure as hell won’t be missing him!
Steinbrenner should rot in hell as far as I'm concerned. One thing about me is that I'm no hypocrite and will always tell it like it is -- no matter what anyone thinks or says.
I, personally, knew this mean-spirited bastard for years! Believe me, I knew good and well what he was truly like!
Now, you’ll see all those phony hypocrites coming out of the woodwork, saying, "Oh, he was such a nice guy!" But, when I hear that, I'm going to be saying, "Bullshit!"
It will be interesting to see the spectacle of a parade up the Canyon of Heroes. Next, I suppose the phony eulogies will be in abundance, along with people making him out to be some kind of martyr!

Re: President Barack Obama’s lawsuit against Arizona Immigration law:
How dare President Obama or anyone else for that matter ever challenge the rights of the voting public and the constitutional laws of the United States of America that our founding forefathers wrote to protect the legal American born citizens of the United States of America?
As an American citizen of this country, I am getting extremely sick and tired of these god damn liberals who are constantly trying to re-write our laws to protect the law breakers that come in to this country.
Let us remember that it is a crime to illegally sneak in to this country without permission and to steal jobs and not pay taxes and so on, if an American person ever pulled haft of the crap that these illegal immigrants have pulled, what you think would happen to them?
I am also getting sick and tired of all these liberals constantly preaching back and fourth about America was made by immigrants, maybe there is some truth to that, but that was the older immigrants who came to America to make a better life for themselves and their families without looking for a hand out and ruining everything in their paths like the immigrants of today.
The United States of America can’t be the savior and answer to all the worlds problems, we have to draw a line somewhere and start looking out for our own people, the Americans, before we start taken care of everyone else.
Let me also remind all of you that most of these illegal immigrants that are coming in to the United States of America want nothing more that to hurt our people and destroy this once great country, they really don’t give a crap about our country and have this god damn attitude of entitlements, why doesn’t there own countries take care of them and support them , their own countries are getting tax paying dollars from the United States of America and are stealing the money that is suppose to help their own citizens, but no one wants to say a damn thing about that, I say why?
Most statistics show that most illegal immigrants that are flooding the United States of America are criminals and are not law abiding people, let us remember the USS Cole, February 26th, 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, September 11th, 2001 Plane crashes in to the World Trade Center that killed all those innocent people and destroyed those towers, and crashed in to the pentagon building and Shanks ford Pennsylvanian field and other crimes against Americans and America’s interest, I could go on and on, but I don’t need to because everyone with a haft a brain knows what I am talking about.
These illegal immigrants get everything from the United States Government such as food stamps, welfare, money to take care of those illegal bastard children that they produce, medical care and so on, and anyone who doesn’t believe all that I am saying needs to have their heads examined, because I am privy to a lot of these illegal immigrants on a daily basis and see a lot more than the average person does, so I can say all this stuff with truth and honesty from my own personal observations and experiences with dealing with illegal immigrants, I’m not saying that all illegal immigrants are bad people but a lot of them are and are extremely nasty and disrespectful to all American’s.
I totally agree with Arizona’s Governor and anyone else for that matter to enact these kinds of laws that their voting constituents want, such as outlawing illegal’s from entering their states and getting jobs that are meant for American people, and supporting law breakers, I also get sick and tired of people saying that American’s wouldn’t do those kind of jobs that illegal immigrants do, I say that is a bunch of crap, because I am one of those few people who did those kind of jobs and worse for that matter such as cleaning toilets, sweeping floors, taken care of over paid and over baring athletes and was extremely under paid, but on one gave a crap about whether or not I was able to feed myself and pay my bills and so on, besides it is on the law books in this counties constitution and the laws are the laws, no one is above the laws and no one is above anyone else, just be glad that I am not the President of this country, because I would make it mandatory effectively that any illegal immigrants that are here illegally would be rounded up and arrested and deported immediately regardless and would be banned from re-entering the United States of America until they all paid $50,000.00 in back taxes for a period of ten years before they would be allowed back in to the United States of America.
President Obama and his predecessors took an oath to uphold the United States of America’s Constitution, I don’t ever remember or recall anything in the Constitution that states that they (elected Officials) can change or follow the laws at their own whim, we voted them in to follow the laws that are on the books, not to change them to serve their own purpose or agenda’s.

Re: My recent bogus, unjustified
Traffic Ticket.
Mr. Ted Hollander, Esq.

Plantation, Florida 33324
Dear. Mr. Hollander:
I sent your law firm a letter dated April 30th, 2010 and addressed to Mr. Mark Gold, Esq. and shortly after your law firm received that letter, I received a phone call from you to discuss the matter in length, (see a copy of that letter enclosed as well as a copy of a letter that I’ve sent to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office Internal Affairs Unit.)
I was under the impression after our last conversation that you fully understood the matter of what had transpired and that you would appeal the judge’s discussion and hopefully get the ticket dismissed in it’s entirely , we also discussed that I paid your law firm $99.00 to represent me and that if I am forced to pay for this bogus, unjustified traffic ticket than I should be fully reimbursed the legal fees that your law firm charged me, and you had agreed, I also explained my current financial situation and stated that there is no way I can pay this $375.00 court cost to the court in full and that they would have to accept a scheduled payment arrangement of $5.00 a month until it was paid off, I was under the impression that you were going to appeal this traffic ticket and explain that the Sheriff didn’t even have my correct license plate number and that you would get a copy of my driving record that would show that I never ever had a speeding ticket in my entire life.
You told me to get in contact with your assistant Par @ extension 1477, I tried contacting her while she was on vacation and eventually we did speak to each other, yesterday July 6th, 2010, I spoke with Par again to get an up dated on my traffic ticket and she stated that she didn’t have any new information as of yet, then shortly after that call with Par, I received a phone call from Mario, who proceed to be judgmental and started to have an argument with me over my bogus, unjustified traffic ticket, he stated that the Sheriff said that I was guilty and that the judge found me to be guilty, I said how can you say that and take their side when you weren’t even present when I received this bogus, unjustified traffic ticket, he then stated that they (The Ticket Clinic) wasn’t going to keep fighting my ticket, I also stated that you said that if the traffic ticket wasn’t dismissed that you agreed to reimburse me the $99.00 legal fee that your law firm charged me and he said no that you were wrong and that you didn’t know what you were talking about, he then stated that there was no appeal filed but in fact only an extension was filed, this has made me a little confused on what is being done to correct this bogus, unjustified traffic ticket that I received.
I find Mario to be extremely unprofessional and cocky in his attitude when dealing with your law firms clients and he seems to be under the impression that he owns your law firm.
I don’t like Mario unprofessional attitude and think you need to have a serious talk with him on how to deal with your clients and not to be judgmental and argument with your clients in the near future, his behavior was extremely rude and arrogant and shouldn’t be tolerated at all.
I would appreciate you letting me know exactly what you and your law firm is doing to get this bogus, unjustified traffic ticket dismissed in it’s entirely and show the law abiding tax paying citizens that justice can and will prevail.
I look forward to hearing back from you shortly regarding this very serious matter of concern.
Thank You.

The Truth About the New York Yankees!
________________________________________
READ THIS: The following is a court transcript related to a story we recently put in our 'Yankees Exposed' section about sexual harrassment involving a homosexual man named Paul Priore who claims that he was harassed and taunted by several Yankees who called him "faggot." The transcipt details the slander used by several Yankee players, Priore's relationship with Ruben Rivera (Mariano's cousin) and a night that Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada spent together in a steam room
The site this transcipt was taken from can be found here.
Also, I was recently contacted by Paul Priore, as he forwarded me a letter that he wrote to George Steinbrenner after the Yankees postseason loss. Click here to read it.

My name is Paul Priore, and I am gay. I am the former New York Yankees clubhouse assistant who sued the New York Yankees organization, several New York Yankees baseball players, and several members of the management staff. My litigation, which I lost in the NYS Supreme Court, First Appellate Division, received worldwide publicity, having been reported by the Associated Press, and being mentioned on numerous Websites.
The litigation caption is Paul Priore v. The New York Yankees, River Operating Co., Inc., Brian Cashman, Thomas May, Bob Wickman, Jeff Nelson, and Mariano Rivera. The index number is 20357/98, and the litigation file is located in the NYS Supreme Court, Bronx County; 851 Grand Concourse; Bronx, NY 10451.
The Smoking Gun was one of the first Websites to publicize my lawsuit:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/yankees/paulpriore1.html
Here is a New York Blade article which briefly summarizes the decision of the First Appellate Division:
http://www.gaycitynews.com/gcn223/courtbalks.html
Here is the full text of the First Appellate Division’s decision:
http://www.courts.state.ny.us/reporter/slips/14582.htm
The decision, written by Judge Richard W. Wallach is highly inaccurate. However, Judge Wallach passed away several days after the date on the decision, and there will never be any way of knowing what was on his mind when he wrote it.
However, it has crossed my mind that Judge Wallach had been offered money, gifts, or contributions by George Steinbrenner, prior to having issued the decision.
The basis for my belief is Mr. Steinbrenner’s prior criminal history, including a plea of guilty in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio to the felony of conspiracy to make corporate campaign contributions in violation of 18 U.S.C. §610.

During my sworn testimony in the examination before trial, I revealed my sexual relationship with ballplayers Ruben Rivera (Mariano Rivera’s cousin), Derek Jeter, and Jorge Posada.
It is my belief that Mr. Steinbrenner would not have wanted this information to become public during a trial.
The basis for my belief is that during my testimony, the attorney for the New York Yankees moved for a protective order to have the transcripts sealed.
Both The Smoking Gun and New York Newsday wanted to do follow-up stories while my lawsuit was active, but my attorney advised me not to speak to the media at that time.
However, when the case ended, he advised me that the protective order was no longer in effect, and that I could “go public” if I wanted to.
The New York Court of Appeals refused to review the adverse judicial decision:

Some people think I look a little bit like Sting. Here’s my photo and the accompanying New York Blade article:

Here’s the same article from the Washington Blade. The accompanying photo also includes my (then) boyfriend, Guillermo Sanchez:

THOMAS MAY SWORN TRANSCRIPT -- Page 35
Q: You began to mention also something about equipment being sent to the Michael Bolton Foundation. How did you become aware of that?
A: The mailroom person for the Yankees, his last name is Felix, I cannot recall his first name, it is a difficult first name to remember. But I guess on a couple of occasions he had sent things for Paul to the Michael Bolton Foundation and he had mentioned it to Brian Cashman on occasion that this was something that was going on regularly.
Q: What was being sent, to your knowledge?
A: To my knowledge, it was bats and balls all autographed.
Q: And was that something that the Yankees did on a regular basis, to donate bats and balls to various charitable foundations?
A: No.
Q: That is something that they never
Page 36
Q (cont’d.): did?
A: No. Slow down. I am answering no to the question if that is something, not that they never did.
Q: They did do that on certain occasions?
A: Yes.
Q: Who was in charge of that, dealing with charities?
A: It ultimately would have been a form that would have been required to be filled out detailing the charity, what they were requiring. It would have been one baseball or one bat and it would have gone to me. Then I would have brought it to the community relations director which ultimately would have had to be approved by Mr. Steinbrenner via fax or phone call or something, and that is why there was very few occasions that employees came in for requests because they knew Mr. Steinbrenner would have to sign-off on it.
Q: And did you ever receive a form completed by Paul Priore requesting to send certain equipment to a charitable foundation?
Page 37
A: No.
Q: Is there anyone other than yourself that those forms could have been submitted to?
A: The community relations director.
Q: Do you know if Paul Priore ever submitted such forms to the community relations director?
A: No, he never did.
Q: You know he didn’t?
A: That is correct.
Q: Are these forms maintained by the Yankees?
A: Yes.
Q: They are forms for requests that were made during the years 1996 and 1997 and would still be on record at the stadium?
A: In the archives somewhere.
Q: After you learned from Mr. Felix about the items being sent to the Michael Bolton Foundation, what did you do, if anything?
A: Mr. Felix notified Cashman about the articles, the boxes that were going to the Michael Bolton Foundation. The boxes were then brought upstairs and opened and they were filled
Page 38
A (cont’d.): with bats, balls, bat tubes with bats in them, balls.
Q: Did Mr. Felix indicate to Mr. Cashman that he had sent out prior shipments -- the box that you were referring to, were there previous shipments made?
A: Yes.
Q: But this particular shipment before sending it out, he brought it to Mr. Cashman’s attention?
A: My understanding it was, it was becoming a regular thing and threw up a red flag in the mailroom.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
BRIAN CASHMAN SWORN TRANSCRIPT-- Page 43
Q: Was equipment regularly missing -- was theft a recurring problem in the clubhouse?
A: I couldn’t say theft as much as stuff mishandled, misplaced, you know, yes, there was problems that we are trying to solve for quite a long time down there.
Q: Did that have anything to do with Nick Priore’s dismissal?
A: I’m not sure if the relevance is here for that, but I can answer it. The answer is yes, Nick was a long-standing, you know, loyal employee, and I loved him to death, but it turned out we were spending more time up here trying to do their job down there, and so ultimately we tried every which way to create a situation that would work for Nick, and for us, and protect him as a long-term employee, but ultimately we could not come up with anything, and we were forced to make a very difficult decision, which was let go someone that had been working here for quite sometime. It was really more inventory related, it is just -- no accusations, just could not give us any accountability on where, when product would come in, where ultimately it went. Whether it was misplaced, moved around, you know, inventory controls were never followed enough to the point where we had to make a change,
Page 44
A (cont’d.): unfortunately.
Q: Were there things that were actually lost, equipment that was --
A: I can’t tell you if it is lost. I don’t know what -- to give you the exact term lost, missing, theft involved, no one could -- I couldn’t tell you.
Q: During the time that these problems were coming to your attention, in the clubhouse area, was Ruben Rivera employed by the Yankees?
A: He was employed by the Yankees up until when we traded him to San Diego.
Q: Which was when?
A: I think prior to the ’98 season was my guess, so whether he was on the major league roster at the time, I couldn’t tell you, but we have a minor league roster, major league roster, you know, when he was here in New York as an active major league player, off the top of my head I couldn’t tell you. It was mid ’90s to possibly early ‘90s.
Q: Ruben Rivera was recently released this year by the Yankees, was he not?
A: Yes.
Page 45
Q: That involved stealing certain equipment, did it not?
A: Yes.

A: Common traits how?
Q: Such as their appearance, tone of voice, mannerisms, things like that?
A: Are you asking me if Paulie appeared --
Q: No, I’m not asking about Paul. I’m asking do you view people that way, in other words, do you think people who are -- males who are homosexual have certain common traits, be it the way they walk, the way they use their hands, the way they talk, anything like that?
A: Not necessarily, no.
Q: Do you think Paul had any characteristics that are common to gay people?
CUCUZZA’S ATTORNEY: Objection.

Q: Did you ever see Paul in the company of another man?
CUCUZZA’S ATTORNEY: Objection. You mean

CUCUZZA’S ATTORNEY (cont’d.): other than in the locker room?
PRIORE’S ATTORNEY: Yes, other than in the locker room.
A: No.
Q: Are you familiar with a former Yankee player named Ruben Rivera?

A: I believe he was at sometime, yes.
Q: Did you ever observe Paul and Ruben Rivera engaging in any intimate acts in the Yankee clubhouse?
A: No.

Q: I am just trying to get some sense, a range, if you can do that, a ballpark figure, was it between 10 and 20 or between five and 10.
WICKMAN’S ATTORNEY: Asked and answered. If you can. If you can’t do any better than you have done, just say I can’t do any better than I have done. If you can, tell him.

Q: Who else?
A: Probably at the time, three quarters of the club. It’s a common --
Q: Players, you are talking about the players?
A: Players, it’s a common phrase to use in the clubhouse.
Q: Can you give me an example of the context in which you used that word in the clubhouse?
A: I can’t remember.
Q: Would you say it in conjunction with something else or just call somebody a faggot, “Hey faggot,” or anything else that you would say when you would use that word?
WICKMAN’S ATTORNEY: It’s a little easier other than -- using the word faggot than using different words, than using the “F” word with someone, calling them different names.
Q: Are you saying that you used faggot in
Page 21
Q (cont’d.): place of other words?
A: Correct.
Q: Curse words?
A: Correct.

Q: With respect to Ruben Rivera, Derek Jeter, and Jorge Posada did they ever make any comment to you in the locker room about being homosexual?
A: Just Ruben did.
Q: And what did Ruben say?

Q: But nobody ever spoke to you about it, about you having this relationship with Ruben Rivera?
A: No. But I do know that sometimes he would touch me and stuff in the locker room where anybody could have seen but I’m not certain of it.
Q: And when he would touch you, what would you do?
A: First I tried to avoid it but then, you know, I was attracted to him. I found him to be irresistible. What was I going to do?
Q: And would you respond to him in the locker room?
A: What do you mean by respond?
Q: Would, if somebody was observing, would they have believed that you were initiating contact not just him?
PRIORE’S ATTORNEY: Well, I object to the form, testifying as to what somebody else
Page 130
PRIORE’S ATTORNEY (cont’d.): would believe.
Q: Did you have any, did you engage in any conduct with him in front of other people in the locker room, touching or respond to his touching in any way?
A: You mean did I reciprocate?
Q: Yes, I guess that’s a good word.
A: There was a couple of times I did, you know, grab him in a way and I tried to, like, try to push him away a little bit because I didn’t know if anybody was going to look because there were people in the clubhouse, there were ballplayers there, there were batboys there, there were trainers there, there were upstairs personnel there, there were media people on different occasions that quite possibly could have became aware of it, and I was trying to, like, kept it low key and trying to, like, push it away when he was, you know, rubbing himself or he was erected and touching me. I tried to make it where nobody would notice it but I don’t know if they did see it or not. It’s possible they did see it.
Q: And how often would this happen in the locker room?
Page 131
A: With respect to Ruben?
Q: Yes.
A: Quite a bit. I’m not sure of the number. We had a relationship.
Q: Would it be every time you were in the locker room?
A: Majority of the time.
Q: So when there’s, like, the season going on, how many times are you in the locker room, I mean, are you just there for the games or are there practices?
A: With me, you mean?
Q: Yes.
A: You mean how many times did I work?
Q: Right.
A: I only worked when the team was in-house playing home games.
Q: So however many times the team was in town there would sort of be a finite number of how many times you were in the locker room during a given year?
A: I was there 81 days a year, that’s how many games were played at home 81, 82.
Q: So other than those 81 games were
Page 132
Q (cont’d.): there any other times you were in the locker room for any other reasons?
A: Yes. Sometimes in the off season helping the players get packed up to go home, sometimes before the fan fest. Sometimes before the team would go to spring training I would help my father out getting things ready. Sometimes when the off season if he needed to clean the clubhouse up and do the mail and that sort of stuff I was up there, of course.
Q: So would they be the sorts of occasions when this contact might take place?
A: Yes, sometimes it did, yes.
Q: And to your knowledge nobody observed this relationship?
A: As far as I know nobody has but it’s quite possible they could have. But I wasn’t looking at everybody, I was more concerned about what was going on between us.
Q: Did Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada ever talk to you about the night that you went to the Mariah Carey concert subsequent to that night?
A: What do you mean?
Q: Did they ever make any comments to
Page 133
Q (cont’d.): you subsequent to that?
A: Not at first.
Q: When did they make comments about it?
A: When we were in the car.
Q: Okay. After it took place did they ever make any comments to you?
A: It was never brought up again. It was just a onetime thing.
Q: And you had testified earlier that they knew that you were homosexual based on this encounter, was there behavior in the car that would have given them that indication?
A: I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you are saying.
Q: I guess I’m just trying to, I just want to be specific that something went on in this car that caused them to know that you were homosexual because you had said that based on that incident that they knew that you were homosexual.
A: Well, it was before we even did anything in the car. It was something that happened earlier in the clubhouse.
Q: On that same day?
A: On that same day.
Page 134
Q: What was that?
A: Well, they were packing their stuff up because they didn't think we were going to be in the series. They were getting ready to bring things back to their hotel. They decided they wanted to take a steam, which was very unusual for the two of them to take a steam because I had never seen them go in the steam room. When they went into the steam room, I was cleaning up things around the bathroom area, which is inside where the steam room and everything is. I opened the door not knowing they were in there and caught them interacting with one another. They in turn screamed at me to close the “F-ing” door and then later on came over to me and said, “You didn't see what you saw.” So I said, fine. I left it at that. Then they went back to bring their stuff to the hotel and said I will be back at 6:30 to come back and pick you up to go to the Mariah Carey thing. My companion was waiting, he was supposed to meet us down there, George, Mr. Lizardi Torres, and then when they picked me up they were a little late. They insisted on driving.
Page 135
A (cont’d.): I insisted on going down by the train but they were afraid to get on the train because they thought they were going to be mugged so they wanted to go by car. We subsequently got lost making several attempts to get down there because at that particular time I didn't drive and I don't know how to tell them to get there and we ended up in Mount Vernon, we ended up in Astoria Queens, we ended up in Bronx again and then we ended up next to the warehouses close to the stadium and then they spoke to each other in Spanish and then from there they brought up the thing of what I saw in the steam room. They asked me if I liked what I saw and I tried to deny and they were like, come on, you know, we know you like this, and came onto me. At first I didn't want to do anything and I was kind of attracted to both of them and I did.
Q: So the, whose car were you in?
A: It was Jeter's. He was the driver of the car, it was a leased car.
Q: A leased car?
A: Yes, they all got leased cars during the season. Posada was the passenger on the right
Page 136
A (cont’d.): side of Jeter.
Q: Had the arrangement for you to go to the concert with them, when were those arrangements made?
A: Well, what happened was I knew that Jeter had liked Mariah Carey's music and he always tried to sing in the clubhouse, what kind of sounded like a dying animal because he couldn't hold a note. I brought up the fact that she was having a concert for a Fox special at Madison Square Garden and that Sonny Heights who used to work at the Garden and worked at Yankee Stadium used to get me into the concerts to see Madonna perform and other performers perform. So I had told Jeter and them that I was going to go to the concert and he had asked me if there is a way that I can get them to go since the tickets were sold out. I said, I can't promise,but I will ask Sonny. Sonny Heights made the arrangement and that's how we got in for nothing. But we arrived, unfortunately, late to the concert due to the other stops.
Q: So basically that’s when the arrangements were made because you had gotten the
Page 137
Q (cont’d): tickets?
A: It wasn’t me who had the tickets, we were just --
Q: You just went together?
A: Yes, we went in the service entrance and got escorted to empty seats.
Q: So when you got lost and you ended up by these warehouses and they came on to you is that when an incident occurred, is that what you are talking about, something occurred after you were lost in this car?
A: Yes.
Q: Prior to getting to the concert?
A: Yes.
Q: And it’s based on that you believe that’s why they knew you were homosexual?
A: Yes.
Q: When did you start bringing a tape recorder to Yankee Stadium with you?
A: The first time?
Q: Yes.
A: It was back in, somewhere between 1993 and ’94.
Q: And why did you start bringing them
Page 138
Q (cont’d.): back then?
A: Well, originally I wanted to, like I said, write my memoirs. I was a, really was a relatively unknown person. I thought about it, said to myself, would anyone, with everybody writing unauthorized biographies and being challenged in court as to legitimacy of what’s being said, I said if I was to write a book somewhere down the road I had planned on doing after my father passed away, you know, so that it wouldn’t hurt him while he was alive because he had loved, you know, the Yankees, grew up with this and worked for them for so many years that I didn’t want to cause him any embarrassment. So I said to myself if I decide to do this somewhere down the road and they decided to challenge me, what kind of proof would I have. So I decided I was going to record everything that proved that I was there. Then everything else happened without me being aware that it was going to happen, just everything fell into place. It wasn’t like anything was planned, you know.
Q: What kind of a tape recorder did you use?

Currently, I am in the process of shopping a treatment around, and am searching for a literary agent. Subsequently, I hope to turn my treatment into a manuscript for sale to a major publishing company. Ultimately, my goal is to author a tell-all book about my experiences with the New York Yankees and as a litigant in the New York State courts. I will also include details of my personal life. I promise you this -- I will spare no one and I will leave no stone unturned. The truth can only be suppressed for so long, but, eventually, it has a way of coming out.
I thank all of you for having read this lengthy post. Please feel free to comment publicly, or to contact me through my E-mail address.
If any Webmasters or reporters located in New York City are interested in doing follow-up stories, I would suggest that you first examine the litigation file at the NYS Supreme Court, Bronx County, and then contact me with your questions.
Sincerely,
Paul Priore

READ THIS: The following is a court transcript related to a story we recently put in our 'Yankees Exposed' section about sexual harrassment involving a homosexual man named Paul Priore who claims that he was harassed and taunted by several Yankees who called him "faggot." The transcipt details the slander used by several Yankee players, Priore's relationship with Ruben Rivera (Mariano's cousin) and a night that Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada spent together in a steam room
The site this transcipt was taken from can be found here.
Also, I was recently contacted by Paul Priore, as he forwarded me a letter that he wrote to George Steinbrenner after the Yankees postseason loss. Click here to read it.

My name is Paul Priore, and I am gay. I am the former New York Yankees clubhouse assistant who sued the New York Yankees organization, several New York Yankees baseball players, and several members of the management staff. My litigation, which I lost in the NYS Supreme Court, First Appellate Division, received worldwide publicity, having been reported by the Associated Press, and being mentioned on numerous Websites.
The litigation caption is Paul Priore v. The New York Yankees, River Operating Co., Inc., Brian Cashman, Thomas May, Bob Wickman, Jeff Nelson, and Mariano Rivera. The index number is 20357/98, and the litigation file is located in the NYS Supreme Court, Bronx County; 851 Grand Concourse; Bronx, NY 10451.
The Smoking Gun was one of the first Websites to publicize my lawsuit:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/yankees/paulpriore1.html
Here is a New York Blade article which briefly summarizes the decision of the First Appellate Division:
http://www.gaycitynews.com/gcn223/courtbalks.html
Here is the full text of the First Appellate Division’s decision:
http://www.courts.state.ny.us/reporter/slips/14582.htm
The decision, written by Judge Richard W. Wallach is highly inaccurate. However, Judge Wallach passed away several days after the date on the decision, and there will never be any way of knowing what was on his mind when he wrote it.
However, it has crossed my mind that Judge Wallach had been offered money, gifts, or contributions by George Steinbrenner, prior to having issued the decision.
The basis for my belief is Mr. Steinbrenner’s prior criminal history, including a plea of guilty in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio to the felony of conspiracy to make corporate campaign contributions in violation of 18 U.S.C. §610.
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/george1.html
During my sworn testimony in the examination before trial, I revealed my sexual relationship with ballplayers Ruben Rivera (Mariano Rivera’s cousin), Derek Jeter, and Jorge Posada.
It is my belief that Mr. Steinbrenner would not have wanted this information to become public during a trial.
The basis for my belief is that during my testimony, the attorney for the New York Yankees moved for a protective order to have the transcripts sealed.
Both The Smoking Gun and New York Newsday wanted to do follow-up stories while my lawsuit was active, but my attorney advised me not to speak to the media at that time.
However, when the case ended, he advised me that the protective order was no longer in effect, and that I could “go public” if I wanted to.
The New York Court of Appeals refused to review the adverse judicial decision:
http://www.workforce.com/section/00/article/23/58/87.html
http://nydailynews.com/front/breaking_news/story/148359p-130879c.html
Some people think I look a little bit like Sting. Here’s my photo and the accompanying New York Blade article:
http://www.nyblade.com/2003/6-6/news/localnews/yankess.cfm
Here’s the same article from the Washington Blade. The accompanying photo also includes my (then) boyfriend, Guillermo Sanchez:
http://www.washingtonblade.com/2003/6-13/news/national/national.cfm
I have had great sadness in my personal life. Guillermo was found dead, hanging from a tree in Flushing Meadows Park:
http://www.gaycitynews.com/gcn_250/deathofagaymexican.html
At this point, I would like to share excerpts from the transcripts of my secret tape recordings and from the transcripts of the sworn court depositions:

THOMAS MAY SWORN TRANSCRIPT -- Page 35
Q: You began to mention also something about equipment being sent to the Michael Bolton Foundation. How did you become aware of that?
A: The mailroom person for the Yankees, his last name is Felix, I cannot recall his first name, it is a difficult first name to remember. But I guess on a couple of occasions he had sent things for Paul to the Michael Bolton Foundation and he had mentioned it to Brian Cashman on occasion that this was something that was going on regularly.
Q: What was being sent, to your knowledge?
A: To my knowledge, it was bats and balls all autographed.
Q: And was that something that the Yankees did on a regular basis, to donate bats and balls to various charitable foundations?
A: No.
Q: That is something that they never
Page 36
Q (cont’d.): did?
A: No. Slow down. I am answering no to the question if that is something, not that they never did.
Q: They did do that on certain occasions?
A: Yes.
Q: Who was in charge of that, dealing with charities?
A: It ultimately would have been a form that would have been required to be filled out detailing the charity, what they were requiring. It would have been one baseball or one bat and it would have gone to me. Then I would have brought it to the community relations director which ultimately would have had to be approved by Mr. Steinbrenner via fax or phone call or something, and that is why there was very few occasions that employees came in for requests because they knew Mr. Steinbrenner would have to sign-off on it.
Q: And did you ever receive a form completed by Paul Priore requesting to send certain equipment to a charitable foundation?
Page 37
A: No.
Q: Is there anyone other than yourself that those forms could have been submitted to?
A: The community relations director.
Q: Do you know if Paul Priore ever submitted such forms to the community relations director?
A: No, he never did.
Q: You know he didn’t?
A: That is correct.
Q: Are these forms maintained by the Yankees?
A: Yes.
Q: They are forms for requests that were made during the years 1996 and 1997 and would still be on record at the stadium?
A: In the archives somewhere.
Q: After you learned from Mr. Felix about the items being sent to the Michael Bolton Foundation, what did you do, if anything?
A: Mr. Felix notified Cashman about the articles, the boxes that were going to the Michael Bolton Foundation. The boxes were then brought upstairs and opened and they were filled
Page 38
A (cont’d.): with bats, balls, bat tubes with bats in them, balls.
Q: Did Mr. Felix indicate to Mr. Cashman that he had sent out prior shipments -- the box that you were referring to, were there previous shipments made?
A: Yes.
Q: But this particular shipment before sending it out, he brought it to Mr. Cashman’s attention?
A: My understanding it was, it was becoming a regular thing and threw up a red flag in the mailroom.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
BRIAN CASHMAN SWORN TRANSCRIPT-- Page 43
Q: Was equipment regularly missing -- was theft a recurring problem in the clubhouse?
A: I couldn’t say theft as much as stuff mishandled, misplaced, you know, yes, there was problems that we are trying to solve for quite a long time down there.
Q: Did that have anything to do with Nick Priore’s dismissal?
A: I’m not sure if the relevance is here for that, but I can answer it. The answer is yes, Nick was a long-standing, you know, loyal employee, and I loved him to death, but it turned out we were spending more time up here trying to do their job down there, and so ultimately we tried every which way to create a situation that would work for Nick, and for us, and protect him as a long-term employee, but ultimately we could not come up with anything, and we were forced to make a very difficult decision, which was let go someone that had been working here for quite sometime. It was really more inventory related, it is just -- no accusations, just could not give us any accountability on where, when product would come in, where ultimately it went. Whether it was misplaced, moved around, you know, inventory controls were never followed enough to the point where we had to make a change,
Page 44
A (cont’d.): unfortunately.
Q: Were there things that were actually lost, equipment that was --
A: I can’t tell you if it is lost. I don’t know what -- to give you the exact term lost, missing, theft involved, no one could -- I couldn’t tell you.
Q: During the time that these problems were coming to your attention, in the clubhouse area, was Ruben Rivera employed by the Yankees?
A: He was employed by the Yankees up until when we traded him to San Diego.
Q: Which was when?
A: I think prior to the ’98 season was my guess, so whether he was on the major league roster at the time, I couldn’t tell you, but we have a minor league roster, major league roster, you know, when he was here in New York as an active major league player, off the top of my head I couldn’t tell you. It was mid ’90s to possibly early ‘90s.
Q: Ruben Rivera was recently released this year by the Yankees, was he not?
A: Yes.
Page 45
Q: That involved stealing certain equipment, did it not?
A: Yes.

ROBERT CUCUZZA SWORN TRANSCRIPT-- Page 13
Q: Do you believe homosexuals have certain characteristics?
CUCUZZA’S ATTORNEY: Objection.
PRIORE’S ATTORNEY: Direct him not to answer?
CUCUZZA’S ATTORNEY: Do you understand?
A: Can you explain?
Page 14
Q: I’m curious whether you feel in your own mind whether or not people who are gay share any common traits.
A: Common traits how?
Q: Such as their appearance, tone of voice, mannerisms, things like that?
A: Are you asking me if Paulie appeared --
Q: No, I’m not asking about Paul. I’m asking do you view people that way, in other words, do you think people who are -- males who are homosexual have certain common traits, be it the way they walk, the way they use their hands, the way they talk, anything like that?
A: Not necessarily, no.
Q: Do you think Paul had any characteristics that are common to gay people?
CUCUZZA’S ATTORNEY: Objection.
A: I think my previous answer was no, there is no common traits, so, I never even considered.
Q: Did you ever see Paul in the company of another man?
CUCUZZA’S ATTORNEY: Objection. You mean
Page 15
CUCUZZA’S ATTORNEY (cont’d.): other than in the locker room?
PRIORE’S ATTORNEY: Yes, other than in the locker room.
A: No.
Q: Are you familiar with a former Yankee player named Ruben Rivera?
A: Yes.
Q: Was Ruben Rivera a player with the Yankees during the time Paul was working in the clubhouse?
A: I believe he was at sometime, yes.
Q: Did you ever observe Paul and Ruben Rivera engaging in any intimate acts in the Yankee clubhouse?
A: No.

ROBERT J. WICKMAN SWORN TRANSCRIPT -- Page 18
Q: Did you ever call Paul Priore a faggot?
A: Yes.
Q: Was that on one occasion or more than one occasion?
A: More than one occasion.
Q: More than one? Approximately how many times did you refer to him as a faggot?
A: I can’t remember.
Q: Was it more than 10?
A: I can’t remember.
Q: Was it more than 20?
A: If I can’t remember the 10, I can’t remember if it was more than 20, if it was more than 10.
Q: I am just trying to get some sense, a range, if you can do that, a ballpark figure, was it between 10 and 20 or between five and 10.
WICKMAN’S ATTORNEY: Asked and answered. If you can. If you can’t do any better than you have done, just say I can’t do any better than I have done. If you can, tell him.
A: I can’t remember how many times I
Page 19
A (cont’d.): called him that.
Q: But it was more than once?
A: Yes.
Q: Did you ever call anyone else in the Yankee clubhouse a faggot?
A: Yes.
Q: Who?
A: Steve Howell, Jeff Nelson.
Q: Do you know if Steve Howell was a homosexual?
A: I have no idea.
Q: Do you know if Jeff Nelson is a homosexual?
A: No idea.
Q: How many times did you refer to Steve Howell as a faggot?
A: I don’t remember.
Q: More than once?
A: Yes.
Q: How about Jeff Nelson?
A: More than once also.
WICKMAN’S ATTORNEY: Had you finished your answer when you read the names?
A: There was other
Page 20
A (cont’d.): people.
Q: Who else?
A: Probably at the time, three quarters of the club. It’s a common --
Q: Players, you are talking about the players?
A: Players, it’s a common phrase to use in the clubhouse.
Q: Can you give me an example of the context in which you used that word in the clubhouse?
A: I can’t remember.
Q: Would you say it in conjunction with something else or just call somebody a faggot, “Hey faggot,” or anything else that you would say when you would use that word?
WICKMAN’S ATTORNEY: It’s a little easier other than -- using the word faggot than using different words, than using the “F” word with someone, calling them different names.
Q: Are you saying that you used faggot in
Page 21
Q (cont’d.): place of other words?
A: Correct.
Q: Curse words?
A: Correct.
Q: Did you use the word faggot when you were angry with other players?
A: No.
Q: Just as common speech?
A: Common speech.
Q: Is there any particular word that you replaced with faggot that you didn’t want to use?
WICKMAN’S ATTORNEY: Other than what you called the “F” word.
Q: Other than the “F” word.
A: There’s probably different words you could use.
Q: But you used faggot?
A: Correct.

PAUL PRIORE SWORN TRANSCRIPT -- Page 125
Q: With respect to Ruben Rivera, Derek Jeter, and Jorge Posada did they ever make any comment to you in the locker room about being homosexual?
A: Just Ruben did.
Q: And what did Ruben say?
A: He would call me faggot in Spanish,
Page 126
A (cont’d.): which was maricon. He would call me baby, he would call me, you know, faggot a couple of times, you know, he would say, you want this, you know, he would touch me, put his hand between the cheeks of my rear end.
Q: And this was in the locker room?
A: Yes.
Q: And what time period was this?
A; During the whole time of our relationship. I don’t know exactly, the exact, because it was more than one time.
Q: When was he with the Yankees?
A: In ’95.
Q: So he began in 1995?
A: Yes.
Q: And when did he get transferred or whatever happens with players?
A: Well, he was with us for awhile then he got sent down to minor leagues for retraining then cam back up again.
Q: And do you know when he was sent back?
A: I don’t remember exact time but I know he came back up again when we had our fan
Page 127
A (cont’d): fest.
Q: When was that?
A: In February of ’96. Then he was with us for the whole time in ’96 on and off. I think he left a couple of times, went down to Florida and came back for training. Then shortly after the World Series he was traded to, I think it was San Francisco Giants but one of the National League Teams, I think it was San Francisco Giants but I’m not sure.
Q: And that was after the ’96 World Series?
A: Yes, sometime after that.
Q: And did he leave New York permanently at that time?
A: Yes, he was traded.
Q: Have you had any contact with him since then?
A: No, just when, I guess when he would come back in between, you know, he’d stop over and say hello to everybody then we would interact.
Q: When would that have been?
A: I don’t remember exactly?
Q: That was after the ’96 World Series?
Page 128
A: It was after he was traded, yes.
Q: That would be in the time period from October of ’96 through August of ’97?
A: I’m sorry.
Q: It would have been from October of ’96 through August of ’97?
A: Approximately in that time frame.
Q: And how many times did he come back to visit at that point?
A: That I’m aware of?
Q: Yes.
A: Twice.
Q: When you say came back to visit, you mean he stopped at the locker room at the Yankees?
A: Yes.
Q: Other than the conversations that you had there, did you have any contact with him outside of the locker room those two times?
A: You mean since he’s been traded?
Q: Yes.
A: No.
Q: Did you have -- did he ever contact you after your lawsuit was filed?
A: No.
Page 129
Q: Did anyone at the Yankees know that Ruben Rivera was engaged in this relationship with you?
A: I’m not aware of it. I don’t know who he told, if he told.
Q: But nobody ever spoke to you about it, about you having this relationship with Ruben Rivera?
A: No. But I do know that sometimes he would touch me and stuff in the locker room where anybody could have seen but I’m not certain of it.
Q: And when he would touch you, what would you do?
A: First I tried to avoid it but then, you know, I was attracted to him. I found him to be irresistible. What was I going to do?
Q: And would you respond to him in the locker room?
A: What do you mean by respond?
Q: Would, if somebody was observing, would they have believed that you were initiating contact not just him?
PRIORE’S ATTORNEY: Well, I object to the form, testifying as to what somebody else
Page 130
PRIORE’S ATTORNEY (cont’d.): would believe.
Q: Did you have any, did you engage in any conduct with him in front of other people in the locker room, touching or respond to his touching in any way?
A: You mean did I reciprocate?
Q: Yes, I guess that’s a good word.
A: There was a couple of times I did, you know, grab him in a way and I tried to, like, try to push him away a little bit because I didn’t know if anybody was going to look because there were people in the clubhouse, there were ballplayers there, there were batboys there, there were trainers there, there were upstairs personnel there, there were media people on different occasions that quite possibly could have became aware of it, and I was trying to, like, kept it low key and trying to, like, push it away when he was, you know, rubbing himself or he was erected and touching me. I tried to make it where nobody would notice it but I don’t know if they did see it or not. It’s possible they did see it.
Q: And how often would this happen in the locker room?
Page 131
A: With respect to Ruben?
Q: Yes.
A: Quite a bit. I’m not sure of the number. We had a relationship.
Q: Would it be every time you were in the locker room?
A: Majority of the time.
Q: So when there’s, like, the season going on, how many times are you in the locker room, I mean, are you just there for the games or are there practices?
A: With me, you mean?
Q: Yes.
A: You mean how many times did I work?
Q: Right.
A: I only worked when the team was in-house playing home games.
Q: So however many times the team was in town there would sort of be a finite number of how many times you were in the locker room during a given year?
A: I was there 81 days a year, that’s how many games were played at home 81, 82.
Q: So other than those 81 games were
Page 132
Q (cont’d.): there any other times you were in the locker room for any other reasons?
A: Yes. Sometimes in the off season helping the players get packed up to go home, sometimes before the fan fest. Sometimes before the team would go to spring training I would help my father out getting things ready. Sometimes when the off season if he needed to clean the clubhouse up and do the mail and that sort of stuff I was up there, of course.
Q: So would they be the sorts of occasions when this contact might take place?
A: Yes, sometimes it did, yes.
Q: And to your knowledge nobody observed this relationship?
A: As far as I know nobody has but it’s quite possible they could have. But I wasn’t looking at everybody, I was more concerned about what was going on between us.
Q: Did Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada ever talk to you about the night that you went to the Mariah Carey concert subsequent to that night?
A: What do you mean?
Q: Did they ever make any comments to
Page 133
Q (cont’d.): you subsequent to that?
A: Not at first.
Q: When did they make comments about it?
A: When we were in the car.
Q: Okay. After it took place did they ever make any comments to you?
A: It was never brought up again. It was just a onetime thing.
Q: And you had testified earlier that they knew that you were homosexual based on this encounter, was there behavior in the car that would have given them that indication?
A: I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you are saying.
Q: I guess I’m just trying to, I just want to be specific that something went on in this car that caused them to know that you were homosexual because you had said that based on that incident that they knew that you were homosexual.
A: Well, it was before we even did anything in the car. It was something that happened earlier in the clubhouse.
Q: On that same day?
A: On that same day.
Page 134
Q: What was that?
A: Well, they were packing their stuff up because they didn't think we were going to be in the series. They were getting ready to bring things back to their hotel. They decided they wanted to take a steam, which was very unusual for the two of them to take a steam because I had never seen them go in the steam room. When they went into the steam room, I was cleaning up things around the bathroom area, which is inside where the steam room and everything is. I opened the door not knowing they were in there and caught them interacting with one another. They in turn screamed at me to close the “F-ing” door and then later on came over to me and said, “You didn't see what you saw.” So I said, fine. I left it at that. Then they went back to bring their stuff to the hotel and said I will be back at 6:30 to come back and pick you up to go to the Mariah Carey thing. My companion was waiting, he was supposed to meet us down there, George, Mr. Lizardi Torres, and then when they picked me up they were a little late. They insisted on driving.
Page 135
A (cont’d.): I insisted on going down by the train but they were afraid to get on the train because they thought they were going to be mugged so they wanted to go by car. We subsequently got lost making several attempts to get down there because at that particular time I didn't drive and I don't know how to tell them to get there and we ended up in Mount Vernon, we ended up in Astoria Queens, we ended up in Bronx again and then we ended up next to the warehouses close to the stadium and then they spoke to each other in Spanish and then from there they brought up the thing of what I saw in the steam room. They asked me if I liked what I saw and I tried to deny and they were like, come on, you know, we know you like this, and came onto me. At first I didn't want to do anything and I was kind of attracted to both of them and I did.
Q: So the, whose car were you in?
A: It was Jeter's. He was the driver of the car, it was a leased car.
Q: A leased car?
A: Yes, they all got leased cars during the season. Posada was the passenger on the right
Page 136
A (cont’d.): side of Jeter.
Q: Had the arrangement for you to go to the concert with them, when were those arrangements made?
A: Well, what happened was I knew that Jeter had liked Mariah Carey's music and he always tried to sing in the clubhouse, what kind of sounded like a dying animal because he couldn't hold a note. I brought up the fact that she was having a concert for a Fox special at Madison Square Garden and that Sonny Heights who used to work at the Garden and worked at Yankee Stadium used to get me into the concerts to see Madonna perform and other performers perform. So I had told Jeter and them that I was going to go to the concert and he had asked me if there is a way that I can get them to go since the tickets were sold out. I said, I can't promise,but I will ask Sonny. Sonny Heights made the arrangement and that's how we got in for nothing. But we arrived, unfortunately, late to the concert due to the other stops.
Q: So basically that’s when the arrangements were made because you had gotten the
Page 137
Q (cont’d): tickets?
A: It wasn’t me who had the tickets, we were just --
Q: You just went together?
A: Yes, we went in the service entrance and got escorted to empty seats.
Q: So when you got lost and you ended up by these warehouses and they came on to you is that when an incident occurred, is that what you are talking about, something occurred after you were lost in this car?
A: Yes.
Q: Prior to getting to the concert?
A: Yes.
Q: And it’s based on that you believe that’s why they knew you were homosexual?
A: Yes.
Q: When did you start bringing a tape recorder to Yankee Stadium with you?
A: The first time?
Q: Yes.
A: It was back in, somewhere between 1993 and ’94.
Q: And why did you start bringing them
Page 138
Q (cont’d.): back then?
A: Well, originally I wanted to, like I said, write my memoirs. I was a, really was a relatively unknown person. I thought about it, said to myself, would anyone, with everybody writing unauthorized biographies and being challenged in court as to legitimacy of what’s being said, I said if I was to write a book somewhere down the road I had planned on doing after my father passed away, you know, so that it wouldn’t hurt him while he was alive because he had loved, you know, the Yankees, grew up with this and worked for them for so many years that I didn’t want to cause him any embarrassment. So I said to myself if I decide to do this somewhere down the road and they decided to challenge me, what kind of proof would I have. So I decided I was going to record everything that proved that I was there. Then everything else happened without me being aware that it was going to happen, just everything fell into place. It wasn’t like anything was planned, you know.
Q: What kind of a tape recorder did you use?

Currently, I am in the process of shopping a treatment around, and am searching for a literary agent. Subsequently, I hope to turn my treatment into a manuscript for sale to a major publishing company. Ultimately, my goal is to author a tell-all book about my experiences with the New York Yankees and as a litigant in the New York State courts. I will also include details of my personal life. I promise you this -- I will spare no one and I will leave no stone unturned. The truth can only be suppressed for so long, but, eventually, it has a way of coming out.
I thank all of you for having read this lengthy post. Please feel free to comment publicly, or to contact me through my E-mail address.
If any Webmasters or reporters located in New York City are interested in doing follow-up stories, I would suggest that you first examine the litigation file at the NYS Supreme Court, Bronx County, and then contact me with your questions.
Sincerely,
Paul Priore

Re: Repealing the United States of America’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell military stance:
To all concern:
As a Gay Man, I am totally against repealing the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell military policy.
I say leave it the way it is.
Its nobodies business if you are Gay or Not.
You don’t hear Straight people in the military saying hey, I’m straight.
Gay People are just asking for trouble.
Most straight, religious, conservative people don’t accept the Gay life style and just because Gay people want to serve openly, will only cause more harm than good.
Straight people who don’t accept the Gay life style are going to feel completely uncomfortable around openly Gay People because every time, they get undressed, they are going to feel that some Gay personnel is going to make a pass at them or try to seduced them in to having sex, which of course will cause them to get attacked.
I say don’t change a thing and leave it the way it was intended, to protect Gay people from being assaulted or worse killed.
Thank You.

Re: The recent deadlock trial for the death of Ecuadorian immigrant Jose Sucuzhanay:
It is a total disgrace and travesty of justice that these two murders were able to get off on a lesser charge for murdering this immigrant guy and by calling him and his brother all those derogatory gay and immigrant names.
What is wrong with the justice system and these bozo judges?
The victims in this world always seem to get the short end of the stick and its mindboggling and incomprehensible at how these judges rule.
The victims never seem to get a break from the justice system in this world and that needs to start to change now.
These two murderer killed this man for no other reason other than because they thought he was Mexican and Gay and then they are able to get off on a lesser charge, something needs to be done now about these judges and this justice system and make these bums of judges follow the letter of law and not change things to suit their own purposes or prejudices.
People need to start to speak up and demand equal justice for all and if these judges don’t follow the letter of the law, then they should be voted out.
These are my personal beliefs and opinion and don’t reflect everyone else’s.

Just got off the phone with an attorney named Mr. Ted Hollander from the Ticket Clinic in Florida regarding my recent letter that I’ve sent to the Ticket Clinic regarding the handling of my Traffic Ticket and Mr. Hollander was very nice to me on the phone and said that he would do everything in his power to appeal my traffic ticket and expressed his apology for any confusing that was made.
He never made any guarantees that the judge would reverse his decision, but he did state to me personally that he would do everything possible to correct the misstates that were made regarding the issuing of this bogus, unjustified Traffic Ticket that I received and if all else fails, then he would be willing to reimburse me the money that I paid his law firm for representing me in this matter.
Will keep you updated on the progress of this matter.
Thank You.

Traffic Ticket.

Dear. Mr. Gold:
I am writing to you today to express my displeasure at the way your lawyers had handled my case regarding this bogus, unjustified Traffic Ticket that I received back in February of this year.
I happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time when all of a sudden this Broward County Sheriff Motor Cycle cop was pulling 10 of us over randomly and giving us speeding tickets in what he deemed was in a school zone.
This Sheriff pulled all of us over on the intersection of Hillsboro Boulevard and S.E.9 Terrace which of course is nowhere near the school zone; he even made a mistake on writing down my driver’s license which of course should’ve been an automatic dismissal.
My correct license plate number is State of Florida 068-IRT but the Sheriff wrote down 068-IRY, completely different license plate numbers.
When I hired your law firm to represent me in this matter, I made sure to ask certain questions as I always do with any type of business that I deal with.
I told your law firm exactly what kind of ticket that I received and what they could do about it, your staff told me and I quote them, I would not have to appear in court, I would not have to go to driving school and I would not get any points on my license, they never told me that I wouldn’t have to pay for the ticket.
I paid your law firm $99.99 to represent me and I am was completely unhappy with your law firm services, the first time, my case was scheduled for court, even though I didn’t have to be there, I went anyway.
My case was scheduled for 11:00 A.M. I got there 30 minutes earlier and waited around for the lawyer that your firm sent out to handle my case, I never saw this lawyer and made 3 calls to your Fort Lauderdale office to find out where she was, and after the 3rd call, I was told that originally Mr. Ted Hollander was suppose to be my attorney handling my case and was replaced by someone else, I was also told that my case was seen earlier since they said that people who have lawyers are seen earlier, I don’t even know if this is true since I never saw any lawyer.
Now I am getting stuck paying $375.00 for a ticket that I didn’t earn and ended up paying your law firm $99.99 for not getting me the justice that I deserve, I am also on a fixed income for disability and now I have no ideal how I’m going to pay for this Traffic ticket that I should’ve never have gotten in the first place because , in my opinion and belief I received this bogus, unjustified traffic ticket by a Corrupted, Rogue Sheriff who’s only motive was to make his quotas and make much needed revenue for the State of Florida by going after honest, law abiding citizens.
I have always followed the rules of the road, I always wear my seat belts, I never speed, I never drink and drive, I never talk on the cell phone without the use of hands free devise, I always allow people who have the right of way to walk first and still I got this bogus, unjustified Traffic Ticket.
Where is the justice in this world for good, honest, law abiding citizens?
I feel that I should be completely reimbursed for what I paid your law firm and that your law firm should appeal my case completely free of charge and get me the winning verdict that I should’ve have gotten in the first place.
If your law firm is not prepared to do that, then I would have no other choice but to tell my friends and neighbors not to use your law firm services at all in the future.
If you would like to discuss this further with me, and hope that we can get this rectified to where justice is needed then please feel free to contact me.
Thank You.

Re: Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer for passing the new Immigration law:
Dear. Hon: Governor Jan Brewer, Kudos to you for having the courage and decency to pass the new immigration law in your state of Arizona, I only wish more people especially politicians had the guts to do what you did.
I commend you and stand by you 100%.
Most politicians are gutless and hypocritical cowards who say one thing and do the opposite, but in this case you have shown them that one person at least is not afraid to stand on principal and morals.
For much to long, most illegal immigrants come in to the country known as the United States of American thinking that the world owes them a living because they are from a third world country, these people flood our cities and states and destroy everything in their path, I’m not saying that I am discriminating against immigrants, I’m saying that I am getting sick and tired of them thinking that America and American’s owe them a life.
I am a part time resident of New York City and Florida, and what the illegal immigrants are doing to both of these states is a total disgrace.
Here in New York City, they hang out on our street corners loitering waiting for people to pick them up for jobs and at the same time harass our women, drink in public, urinate in front of anyone who passes, laying drunk on the sidewalk, start fights and cursing American’s.
Now with regards to our City parks, especially Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, the home of the United States Tennis Association and Citi-field Home of the new Mets baseball team, during our summer months, if anyone goes in to that park, you will see illegal immigrants illegally selling beer and drugs and other such alcohol products to underage soccer players, they have no problems throwing garbage on the ground when there are garbage cans 2 feet away from them, they urinate and defecate all over the place, there are condoms all over the place and they sell food items without a license, no one dare says a thing about it for fear of retaliation.
The liberals of both of these states having giving the illegal immigrants to much power and most American’s are getting sick and tired of being treated as a second class citizens, we are born in this country and have always followed the letter of the laws, by putting our kids through schools, working hard, paying our taxes and so on but these illegal immigrants sneak in to this country illegally, steal jobs from American’s shack up with 40 or more people in a one bedroom apartment, steal government services, don’t pay taxes and have the audacity to think that they are entitled and that their civil and constitutional rights are being violated, I say what a crock, what about our rights as American citizens, our rights are the ones that are being trampled on and no one has done a damn thing about it until you have.
Sometime, I say to myself that I am a shamed to be an American and I see the United States of America being a third world country like theirs in the near future.
Look at what happened on September 11th, 2001 when the terrorist blew up the Twin Towers and the pentagon, those people were illegal immigrants and I see more of the same happening to this country in the near future unless we nip it in the bud soon, I am so scared sometimes walking down the street for fear of my and my families safety because of all the crimes that these illegal immigrants are bringing to this country.
We must do more and I as I have stated in the beginning of my letter to you, I stand by you 100% for your courage and strength to do the right thing and not worrying about the backlash that might occur.
I personally don’t think that anyone will change your law and I strongly believe that most other states will follow you as well, look what happened when most states struck down the gay marriage laws and how many people rallied and protested and still weren’t able to change those laws back to support gay marriage , besides you strike me as being a sharp, intelligent women who really knows what she is doing and I strongly believe you should consider running for a higher office such as the President of the United States of American and make your agenda to stop the flow of illegal immigrants from continuing to come in this country.
If you want you can quote me and use my letter for anything you desire in your quest to get your message across about the seriousness of the illegal immigrant’s debate.
I look forward to hearing back from you or one of your staff regarding my serious matters of concern.
Thank You.

Re: The Recent Beatings and killings of Gays and Illegal Immigrants:
I am strongly outraged and extremely disappointed at this type of behavior that is going on in the 21st Century and that most people refused to accept people for whom they are.
The recent attacks against these two groups have sky rocketed lately and every time you turn on the T.V. or read a newspaper you hear someone being beating up because they are either gay or illegal immigrants.
I am strongly opposed and don’t condone this type of behavior by anyone, there is no reason for anyone to go out randomly looking to beat up or kill gays and illegal immigrants.
I have dated a lot of gay illegal immigrants in my days and found that most of them are wonderful people who really do want to make a better life for them selves and their families and then I have met some who are just nasty by nature but I don’t hold the whole group accountable because of the actions of a few.
I have not always seen eye to eye on most gay or immigrants issues and I am strongly oppose to giving certain protection rights to certain groups of people while ignoring the other groups, if you don’t give the same protection rights to every group across the board, then you should not cover just one group this is why we have the problems we face in this country today.
I say everyone needs to start getting along with one another and treat everyone with the same respect that they want to be treated with.
Tolerates is good but educating people is really the way to go and to find out why people hate certain groups of people.
I think the gay groups and immigrants groups instead of forcing their issues down people throats, they should start to educate people and make them understand the differences in people, and I strongly believe people will accept them a lot easier.
No one wants to be forced to accept or do anything in life.
Educating the public is the key and the answers to all the problems in the world.

To Whom It May Concern:
It is my understanding that Blue Cross/ Blue Shield have acquired a company called Anthem.
My late stepfather Mr. Donald E. Forster who is going to be gone this coming November 5 years has overpaid on an old policy that was held by Anthem at that time, in the sum of approximately $216.00.
I was contacted by the State of Florida at the time and was informed by them of his over payment; I sent them the necessary paperwork, including the death Certificate that proves that I am his next of kin since my late mother Ms. Dolores B. Forster has passed away.
The State of Florida told me that I need the actual policy, after going through all the papers that I have, I have been unable to locate that policy with policy number on it.
I recently found out that your company has acquired Anthem and I am now writing to you to find out how I can put in a claim for his over payment and what it is you need from me.
I’m not even sure how long ago this policy was over paid.
Please let me know what I need to do to get the refund and what documentation that you need from me to put in this claim.
Maybe the mailing address of my late mother and stepfather would help in your search.

re: Receiving an unjustified traffic ticket
To whom it may concern:
On Tuesday, February 9, 2010, at 2:16 P.M., I was driving back home from being at the beach.
Traffic was at a standstill, as it usually is at that time of the day.
I was at the intersection of Hillsboro Boulevard and S.E. 9 Terrace. On my left side was the Fire Department and on my right side was a library. All of a sudden, a motorcycle cop named Detective S. Roseman (Rosaman ???) started pulling people over randomly for no apparent reason. I am one of those people who was pulled over for no reason. The detective asked me for my driver’s license, registration, and insurance card, and I complied with his request. I asked him why I was being pulled over, and I stated that I was not speeding. He just stood in front of my car, and ignored me. Next, he walked behind my car, and started writing my license plate number down. He then handed me a ticket which alleged that I had been speeding in a school zone. However, such allegation is completely false. I have never, in my entire life, ever speeded, nor have I ever considered doing so.
It is also worthwhile noting that, at that time of day, it is virtually impossible for anyone to speed, even if he wanted to, because traffic is at a standstill. Besides, the detective was able to stand in front of my car. If I were speeding, as he would evidently like you or anyone else to believe, it would have been impossible for him to have positioned himself in front of my car. In fact, he wouldn't have been able to step in front of my car to ask me to move over, without his having first chased after me to have gotten me to slow down, and then come to a stop. Such a chase never took place.
Prior to having spoken to me, the detective gave several tickets out to numerous people randomly, for no apparent reason that I was able to discern, and I strongly suspect he was trying to make his quota.
Apparently, I was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and was, therefore, given an unjustified traffic ticket. I strongly believe that if police officers, in the employ of the Broward County Sheriff, or other jurisdictions, for that matter, are going to give people traffic tickets, then such issuance should always be justified, and not merely reflect the existence of a quota that must be met. How do you expect law abiding citizens to feel positively toward law enforcement employees when certain officers have the propensity to issue unjustified traffic tickets?
I hereby request that a thorough investigation be conducted concerning the actions of Broward County Sheriff Detective S. Roseman (Rosaman ???), ID #6276, Troop Unit Motor #13 of Deerfield Beach, FL. In all likelihood, departmental charges should be filed against him for giving out unjustified traffic tickets and for abuse of his authority.
If anyone wanted to ever check my car, he would see that the average speed recorded would be 19 miles an hour. This is registered on the computer of my leased car.
I would like to go on record here that I always follow the laws, and I am more than aware of the speed limit. I have never, I repeat, never, been cited for speeding, in my entire life, prior to that occasion. This can be verified by checking my driving history.
I have enclosed a copy of the traffic ticket for your convenience.
I look forward to hearing back from someone shortly regarding my complaint against the detective. I would like to know what disciplinary measures were taken, or that you are contemplating taking, to ensure that he doesn't continue to issue law abiding citizens unjustified tickets again, of any type, in the future.
Please be advised that I am prepared, if necessary, to make my complaint public by going to the news media. However, I hope that I won't have to go that route.
I thank you, in advance, for your anticipated concern and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Paul Priore

Re: A Good, Honest, law abiding citizen doesn’t have a chance at justice in a corrupt world.
To all concern:
Have any of you received bogus, unjustified Traffic or Parking tickets for doing nothing wrong other than to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?
If so this has happened to me on 4 occasions and when you try to fight these injustices in court and believe that the justice system would be just, you find out that an good, honest law abiding citizen doesn’t have a chance in hell of prevailing because of the corrupt, rogue cops, judges and politicians who’s only motives are to steal your hard earned money.
Just recently in Florida this pass February 19.2010 I was driving on my way back from the beach, when all of a sudden a motor cycle cop started pulling people over randomly and started giving out bogus, unjustified traffic tickets all in an attempt to make his quota, I just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and was issued one of those bogus, unjustified traffic ticket.
The Broward County Sheriff claimed that I was speeding, I have never speeded in my entire life and anyone who has ever driven with me can attest to that.
The Broward County Sheriff didn’t even have my correct license plate number on the Traffic Ticket which is suppose to be an automatic dismissal but the corrupt, greedy, Rogue judge refuses to dismiss my ticket and now I am forced to pay $405.00 for a Traffic Ticket that I didn’t earn or deserve, meanwhile there are people driving without licenses, insurances, using their cell phones without hand free devises and I end up getting stuck with this bogus, unjustified traffic ticket, where is the justices?
It seems to me that all the good people in this world suffer at the hands of society and all the bad people seem to get a head in this world.
What’s wrong with this picture?
I encourage each and everyone out there to fight back and not pay any bogus, unjustified traffic or parking tickets, they can’t throw everyone in jail.
When it’s time to vote, don’t vote these corrupt, rogue judges back in to office, but instead vote them out or don’t vote at all and if you are forced to do jury duty, vote against what the judge and says and does, that will teach them a lesson.
As for the police, when they start to strike because they are on the verge of loosing their jobs or want more money and want us to help them, turn your backs on them and do nothing.
Don’t even help them when they are in danger, ignore them and do nothing and if you see where they are hiding to try and give out tickets to people, let people know where they are hiding, so that the police can’t give anyone any tickets at all, hurt the cities and states in their pocketbooks, that’s the only way to win.
Stop the corruption and abuse of power, fight back and stand together.

I've been doing some research regarding the information in this article, and I would like to say that it's incorrect. "Baker & and McConnell live happily ever after" is WRONG!!! If anyone did their reseach, they would have found plenty of information re: Baker V. Nelson, which became a big stir in the early 70s regarding same-sex marriage, which was not granted in the state of Minnesota. That's why today it's still one of the states which does not accept same-sex marriages.
The Baker v. Nelson decision (191 N.W.2d 185) in 1971 held that Minnesota Statutes prohibited marriages between same-sex partners.
Matthew Fleischer is this what you do for your day-time job, writing inaccurate information??????

To all concern about the Washington D.C City Council passing gay marriage"
As a gay man, I am strongly oppose to gay marriage.
Leave it to the elective officials to ignored the will of the people with this sham of a gay marriage bill passing, it won't last and eventually it will be stricken down again like all the other states that passed gay marriage.
What a disgrace to allow this nonsence of gay marriage.

Are you tired of elective officials stealing your tax dollars and deceiving you and, if so here’s what needs to be done this coming election year!
We the voting, taxpaying public needs to enact an amendment/proposition this coming election years and state that if any elective official is accused of and proven to be guilty of any crime such as bribery, embezzlement, assault, raped and so on must and will be automatically expelled from office and never be allowed to run for any type of office again in the near future.
The guilty elective official must also pay for their own legal expenses and not be allowed to use tax dollars and if any of them do, then they must be forced to make restitution to the tax payers and pay back each and every tax payers dollars used, they must also forfeit any and/all monies that were invested in any such business venture whether or not it was their own money or tax dollars, like for instants this current Aqueduct racing casino that Council Member Floyd Flake and Senator Malcolm Smith is involved in.
The city Council pork belly fund should also be dismantled in it’s entirely and no member of the city council, senate, assembly, mayor, governor, district attorney and so on should ever be allowed to use tax payer’s monies for their own personal gains.
The only way government will work for the voting taxpaying public is for all of us to get involved and say enough is enough and stop these crooked, corrupted elective officials from getting away with breaking our laws.
The grass groups need to get the voters involved and put this on the ballot this coming year.

Re: The U.S. Constitution protecting the terrorists:
Our founding fathers wrote and enacted certain protected rights known as the U.S. Constitution that was put in place to protect each and every U.S. born citizen.
Some of the rights that are supposed to be afforded to U.S. born citizens are due process of the law, a trial by jury, and every person to have the opportunity to confront their accusers and have any and/all evidence against them presented.
These same Constitutional laws are suppose to be enforced by our elected officials and justices but not all of them think or feel that they have to follow the letter of the law, they think they can re-write the laws anytime they want to suit their own purposes or agenda�s, all the while preaching to every law abiding citizen to follow these same laws that elected officials and justices break.
The elected officials and justices have lost all sight of what is right and wrong, case in point, a few years ago, I was discriminated against by the New York Yankees and some of their players, even though I complained to management on several occasions to no avail.
I even went as far as to file a lawsuit in hopes of getting justice but of course money and politics played a big role in the justice�s decision in my case and they dismissed my case because they were bigots, they never once looked at my evidence to support my allegations and took the Yankee�s word at face value, knowing that these people committed willful oral testimonial perjury, when I continued to press the issue and wanted to produce my evidence, no one cared or wanted to help deal with it, they just dismissed me and my complaint.
Another time just recently I received a bogus, unjustified parking ticket and again my rights to due process of the law were being violated.
The elected officials and justices have no qualms about giving the terrorists or illegal immigrants protected rights but have no problems violating American citizens civil and constitutional rights, what�s wrong with this picture., something needs to be done about this and people need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Sooner or later American people are going to get fed up and strike back against the United States because they are getting tired of all the B.S.
The United States government is so concerned about terrorist blowing plane up at airports but they failed to look at the real dangers, there is a park in New York City known as Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, the home of the U.S. Tennis association and the Mets Baseball team, the terrorists don�t need to board planes to blow them up all they need to do is get a hold of shoulder to shoulder heat sensor missiles sit on any bench in that park and while the planes are flying low on their way in to La Guardia airport, point the missile at them and blow them up, for a number of years I have raised the possibility of this happening and no one wants to listen, sooner or later the terrorists are going to figure this out and act upon it and it will be too late for anyone to stop them.
I counted many planes flying over that park in a couple of hours and said to myself, how easy it will be for terrorist to do harm, hopefully the terrorists will never figure that out but they are getting more and more created with their methods of attacks.
Hopefully, our government officials will finally listen and do something to prevent this from ever happening.

Re: The recent Earth Quake in Haiti:
The only reason the United States of America is getting involved with helping the Haitian victims of the recent Earth Quake is because they have an ulterial motive and will benefit greatly with charging the American taxpayers higher taxes to cover the cost of the re-building process and all the elected officials and big business will reap the financial gains from the higher taxes and re-building process, lets not be fooled for one minute here people, no one does anything or gives any money without some form of motive.
These same hypocrites were nowhere in sight when it came to helping the American victims who needed help from other various tragedies such as September 11, 2001, Hurricane Katrina, the victims of Ponzi Schemes, the recent job market loses, the recent foreclosure situation and other stuff of that nature.
This is nothing but a big sham in the eyes of the world to make the United States of America look good and to allow Elected Officials and big business to continue to steal our money and also give the news media outlets the much needed ratings and financial rewards they need, that's all it truly is.
Wake up and smell the coffee people and see the whole picture for what is really is and wait until each and every American taxpayer receives higher taxes to cover the cost of re-building Haiti despite the fact that everyone is donating monies to help Haiti.
The United States of America will also allow Haiti harden criminals to get amnesty and cause more crimes and troubles for the American people.
Just You wait and see, mark my words, I see this coming soon.

Re: Steroids in Baseball:
It should no come as no surprise whatsoever about baseball players as well as other sports stars who lie and cheat by getting the edge and doing steroids to deceive the fans of their sports and when they get caught refused to fess up for their crimes.
When are sports fans going to wake up and smell the coffee, anyone who didn't believe that Mark McGwire, Andy Pettetti, Sammy Sosa and other sports players didn't do steroids or other drugs are either Stupis, Naive or Blind.
During my time working for the New York Yankees, I was privy and witnessed many baseball players doing steroids, drugs and other illegal stuff as well as players from the visiting teams that played the Yankees, I tried to complaine on many of occasions to the higher ups as well as Major League Baseball and no one would listen or do anything about it because they were only concerned about making money back for all the money that was lost during the 1994/1995 baseball strike.
The fans need to stop being so forgiving and stop being so stupid and see the baseball players and other sports stars for what they truly are, a bunch of liars and cheaters.
Aside from the illegal steroids and drug use, there are a lot of closeted gay baseball players, this I know for a fact since I was involved with 3 New York Yankees players, two are still currently playing and the one is no longer with the Yankees, anyone interested can visit the Bronx County Supreme Court and look up my lawsuit against The Yankees for details, unlike the Yankees players and organization, I don't have to lie or cover up anything, my life is an open book.

I am so glad that the elective officials were able to see through this sham of a gay marriage and decided that marriage should and will continue to be between a man and a women with no exceptions.
If Gay Marriage would've passed in New York City/ New York State, it would've had a detrimental effect of the future generations, because it would left the doors open for people to marry thier sisters, brothers, dogs, cats and any other.

Re: New York State Hiram Monserrate assault against his girlfriend Karla Geraldi:
I have known Hiram for a number of years and was extremely sadden and outraged and surprise by his actions to hurt his girlfriend Karla Geraldi and lie about it, it is clearly apparent that Hiram�s excuse to have accidently hurt Karla Geraldi with a piece of broken glass by tripping on her in the dark doesn�t hold any weight whatsoever and it is definitely not believably in my eyes.
Karla Geraldi is clearly lying in my opinion to protect Hiram from losing his current senatorial seat and I strongly believe that one day when both of them are no longer a couple, the truth will be coming out in the form of a book deal detailing their violent relationship.
As far as I am concerned, Hiram should�ve been convicted on a felony charge and should lose his senatorial seat by stepping down or of being removed from office, this verdict clearly sends out a wrong message and is a disserve to all victims of violent assaults across the globe.
It also sends out a bad message especially to women, these shows that there is no justice when a women or any other victim of assaults seeks any form of justice.
The voters should do everything in their power to remove Hiram Monserrate from office, but we all know how corrupt the elective official are and that they won�t do a damn thing to him because if they remove him from office, then the democrats will be without another senator and then Albany, New York senators will be in Chaos again.
You the voters have to power to do the right thing.

Re: The assault against gay man Jack Price:
I am extremely outraged and disgusted by the recent assault and attack against a gay man in College Point Queens, New York by the name of Jack Price; this is another example of how the gay community priorities are so screwed up
Instead of this sham of a gay marriage, the gay community needs to do more when it comes to putting a stop to this type of abuse and assaults against one of their own.
The gay community needs to put more focus and attention to get the elective officials to better educate people on how to learn to live with and except people for who they are and have people learn that because they don�t agree with a person�s lifestyle doesn�t give people the right to assault anyone.
This crap needs to stop right now; I have always been in the forefront of every cause whether it is against any gay person, women, and / or any other minority.
Lately, every time I turn around, another gay person or minority is being assaulted or killed, I can tell you that I am sick and tired of this nonsense and I have recently contacted these so called gay activists and told them that some kind of rally and protest needs to be conducted to continue to keep pressure on this type of behavior, so this coming Saturday October 16th, 2009 a protest rally will be held and I encourage everyone, whether they be gay or not should all attend this rally and show their support for Mr. Jack Price and let the world know that we will not tolerate this kind of abuse and assault against anyone no more.
Thank You.
Sincerely,

Re: The assault against gay man Jack Price:
I am extremely outraged and disgusted by the recent assault and attack against a gay man in College Point Queens, New York by the name of Jack Price; this is another example of how the gay community priorities are so screwed up
Instead of this sham of a gay marriage, the gay community needs to do more when it comes to putting a stop to this type of abuse and assaults against one of their own.

Re: Making all 62 New York State Senators reimburse the tax payers the money they cost us:
Making all 62 N.Y. State Senators reimburse the tax payers all the wasted lost tax dollars they cost us with this crazy debacle and fire all of them and not ever re-elect any of these bums.
What a disgrace that these elected officials could create so much trouble and cost so much money to be lost when the World economy is still suffering this current depression that we are in.
What a joke these clowns are, there should be some accountability and oversight when these elected officials waste our money and should be punished to the full extent of the law like other people who rip off the system.
Any smart person could easily see that these bums always had political motives and concessions and who can say that this won�t happen again in the near future when someone doesn�t get their way and decide to shift their allegiance to the other side to put a wedge in place to gain control and get what they want, these elected officials only care about their selves and what they could get and not about the constituents that got them elected and who claim to have the best interest of their constituents at heart, what a bunch of crap.
As for Senate majority leader Malcolm Smith what a joke he turned out to be, his only motive for wanting this sham of a gay marriage to passing is because his son is gay and cruises New York City Parks looking for sex, this I know is true for a fact because we were engaged on at least two occasions a few years ago and his son even has the nerve to drive his fathers Senator licensed plate car to the parks.
Anyone who wants this gay marriage thing to pass has ulterior motives and will undoubtedly benefit greatly from this possible gay marriage if it passes, we must never allow this to happen or ever succeed.
Thank you.

Re: My opposition to Gay Marriage & Gay Adoption:
To all concerned:
Kudos to all of you for all of your efforts in helping to put a stop to this Gay Marriage sham.
As a Gay Man, I have spoken out publicly for my opposition to Gay Marriage, Gay Civil Unions and Gay Adoption; I strongly believe that marriage is and will always be between a man and a woman and that there is no exception to that rule.
We must continue to fight to preserve that Gay people can�t ever get married in the future in any other states and that the states that currently recognize Gay Marriage must invalidate those Gay Marriage Licenses.
I also believe that the Gay activists that continue to force this issue down the throats of the voters are just going to piss off more people and have them go against them.
How many times do we have to continue to revisit this sham of a gay marriage thing, except it and move on, the will of the people have spoken.
Every time gay people don�t agree with someone�s own opinions and rights that don�t benefit their own views, they in turn want to change everything because they believe they have that right and to hell with what other peoples rights and beliefs are, just as long as they get what they want.
Except defeat and move on, you will never change the will of the people or the will of the voters.
I will continue to do my part and speak my mind to stop Gay Marriage.
These are my opinions and beliefs.
Thank You.

Re: California Supreme Court upheld the states ban on Gay Marriage:
A historic day for marriage as we all know it to be.
Kudos to the California Supreme Court justices for not allowing the gay activists to sway their judgment and to see that this whole gay marriage thing is nothing more than a sham.
As a gay man, I commend the justice�s decision to uphold the voter�s decision to ban gay marriage and I hope all other states will follow suit.
Gay marriage should and will always be between a man and a woman, that�s the reality.

Re: New York City/ New York State attempt to pass this sham of a Gay Marriage/ Civil Union marriage Bill:
As a Gay Man, I strongly oppose Gay Marriage/Civil Unions and gay adoption.
If New York City/ New York State succeeds in allowing gay people to get married and adopt children, it will start a disastrous chain reaction of events and open up a paradox to destroy the very foundation and sanctuary of marriage as we all know it, not to say how it will eventually stop the production of children for future generations to come.
Marriage will and always will be between a man and woman, there is no exceptions to this rule that has been around for many centuries.
One could only wonder how the courts will deal with the divorce issues that will undoubtedly occur as a result to gay people filing for divorce almost every day of the week as a result to fights between them for stupid stuff as cheating, jealousy and any other misunderstandings that gay people always have.
Then comes those facts of how the courts will decide who gets what in divorce proceedings such as money, property and the adopted children.
It is also a known fact that I have personally witnessed throughout the course of my life, that most gay men are pedophilias and have no conscience whatsoever to the potential harm they cause children by having sex with them and most underage children and what harm they do to these children and their mental stability, it like a trophy in the eyes of their peers for a older gay man to have sex with someone younger than their selves that is not of legal age.
Heaven help us if this madness of gay marriage/ civil unions and gay adoptions become the law of the land in New York City/ New York State, we all will be very sorry and I will be the first person to say I told you so.
When will this madness end, wake up people before it�s too late.

Dear.New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan:
Here is a copy of a posting that I posted on several websites regarding my opposition against Gay Marriage/Civil Union.
These are my true feelings regarding Gay Marriage.
Please do whatever you can to prevent Gay Marriage/Civil Union from ever becoming Law in New York City and New York State, there are a lot of gay people who feel the same way I do.
If I can help you stop Gay Marriage from ever becoming Law, please feel free to contact me and I will do whatever I can.

Re: New York City possible passing of the Gay Rights marriage bill.
To all concern:
As a gay man, I am completely against gay marriage/ civil unions.
The majority of gay men are very promiscuite and don�t respect their relationships or their partners., most of them go out behind their partners backs and cheat on them and put their partners at risk because they refused to use any type of protection because their partners might find out and question them as to why they are carrying condoms with them.
Marriage is defined between a man and a woman and it will always be that way because that�s the only way to produce children.
Gay people have no right to think or force people in to believing this sham of a marriage is an entitlement to them.
Gay people want rights of protections but where are they when one of there own is being verbally abused, physically assaulted and discriminated in the work place, restaurants, housing, hospitals, etc, the answer is no where, they don�t stand up and speak out until that person ends up dead.
Most gay men are pedophilias and go after children for sexual purposes, this I know is true because I know and witnessed some of these kinds of people and have expressed a disgust for that type of behavior but these same people don�t seem to think anything is wrong with having sex with underage children, most gay men think with their head between their legs and not the one on their shoulder.
Gay marriage will undoubtedly cause more problems in the near future and will change the whole meaning of what marriage is really about.
Next thing you will have other people saying why don�t we have 4 or more people getting married at the same time when will it start and when will it end, I could only wonder what the courts will be like when the judges have to decide who gets what in a divorce case since right now, women get the majority of the money and assets, but what will happen when two men claim to be the women and you have to give both people 50% of everything and then the straight people will say that�s not fair to us, it will cause more lawsuits to be filed because of the conflict gay marriage will cause.
I don�t believe children should be raised in a gay environment and be exposed to the possibility of catching two guys getting it on in bed; this will undoubtedly confuse the children and cause some serious trauma to the child.
This is my own opinion and belief.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Paul Priore

Re: Ms. California Comments about Gay Marriage.
Kudos to Miss. Carrie Prejean for having the guts and courage to speak out about her true feelings about her stance on Gay Marriage.
As a Gay Man, I stand by and support Miss. Carrie Prejean and Mr. Donald Trump.
I commend her for telling like it is.
I commend Mr. Donald Trump for having the guts to let her keep her title and crown and not to be swayed by anyone who will criticize him or anyone else for speaking the truth about this sham of Gay Marriage.
Marriage is and will always be between a man and a woman and shouldn�t be allowed to be between gay people whatsoever.

Re:Schwarzenegger will veto gay marriage bill:
Kudos� to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for having the guts and courage to want to ban Gay Marriage and Civil Unions in the state of California.
As a Gay man, I commend Governor Schwarzenegger and any other politician that has the insight to see through this Gay Marriage sham.
Governor Schwarzenegger at least considers the will of the people�s voting rights and will not be swayed by the Gay Lobbyists.
Most Gay activist have not considered what kind of problems people will face in the near future if the Gay Rights marriage bill is passed, it will open a can of worms/ Pandora box and change the meaning that marriage is and always will be between a man and women.
As it stands now, if a man divorces his wife, she undoubtedly will get the majority of the money and assets, as well as child support, but if two gay men divorce, both will claim to be the women leaving the judges to decide who gets what.
Most gay men fall in love with someone different every week and are not loyal to their partners and this also poses a health risk for the other partner.
I also don�t think children should be exposed to the possibility of walking in on their two fathers having sex, this could cause more harm than good and could confused the child/children.
From my own observation in life, I have witnessed most gay men engaging in sex with underage children and don�t seem to think anything is wrong with that because most gay men think with their head between their legs and not the one on their shoulders.
So again, no to gay marriage or civil unions.
This is my own opinions and belief.

RE: I don�t support Gay Marriage.
Dear. Hon: Vermont Governor Jim Douglas.
As a gay man, I commend your efforts to stop your state from allowing gay marriage from ever becoming a reality.
This whole gay marriage thing is nothing more than a sham and will surely cause more problems when gay people have many more disagreements than the average straight person does, I can only wonder what the courts are going to have to deal with and go through when a gay person files for divorce every day of the week and how will the courts decide who the women is when it comes down to dividing the money and property, as it stands now, the women gets everything but when it comes to gay people, who will get what?
Gay men especially fall in love with different men every day and are not loyal to their partners, they constantly cheat on their lovers while all the while profession their love for their partners.
In my observation, I have also witnessed many gay men, having sex with under age children and when you bring this problem to their attention, they don�t see anything wrong with it, most gay men think with their head between their legs and not the one on their shoulders, they also don�t see the repercussions of their actions for having sex with underage children.
This will undoubtedly become a bigger problem if they are allowed to get marriage.
Please do whatever it takes to prevent gay people from ever getting gay marriage passed.
Thank You.

Re: California Supreme Court Decision to approve Gay Marriage & Civil Unions.
I am a Gay Man and I am totally against Gay Marriages and Civil Unions.
I am outraged and very disappointed that Californian and any other state for that matter would approve and pass such a law.
Gay people are not loyal to their partners; they profess their love but all the while they are cheating on their lovers behind their backs.
We talk about unity, being loyal and so on but where are the Gay People supporting people that were discriminated against at their jobs, or while walking down the street or people that have Aids and other illnesses, you don�t see or hear them protesting that, why?
I hope the people of California vote to strike down the California Supreme court decision to approve Gay Marriage this coming November.
Gay People forget what Gay Pride is really about and what the struggles were.
Gay People think that Gay Pride is only for getting drunk, doing drugs and dancing, when in fact it is to reflex on our past achievements and struggles for equality.
I don�t support Gay Marriage or civil unions and never will.
Thank You.

You forgot the dates for Massachusetts! The only state to legalize marriage in 2004. The first day we could apply for a license was May 17--Cambridge began right after midnight, throwing a huge party complete with music and cakes from area hotels. Thousands of neighbors--gay and straight--came to cheer and wish us well. We got our license that night; we were #250 of 262 couples to do so that first day. I'll never forget it.

As a legally married gay man from Canada, my husband and I want to express our best wishes to the courageous 4. My Pastor is the Rev. Brent Hawkes, who just last week was honoured by the Canadian Government with an indoctrination into the Order of Canada for his fine work on social justice.
We used to read that the United States was supposed to be the land of the free, that all citizens were to be treated equally before the law, and that citizens could seek and achieve justice.
Years ago, Rev. Hawkes preached a life-changing sermon called "Take An Injustice To Court". It changed not only my life but our world for the better.
The California State Legislature has twice voted for equal marriage, only to be vetoed twice by your Governator. He insists it is not 'the will of the people', which is, at best, debatable, escpecially in light of the consecutive votes in the Legislature.
But I wonder how any heterosexual couple would feel if their right to marriage were put to a popular vote? Some will reply that marriage is not a "right". Well then how about the liberty to marry? Sweet land of liberty, as in "liberty and justice for ALL". What part of "all" excludes gay citizens?
I am glad to see the courage of these 4 in overturning this injustice via the court. Courts deal with what is just, not what is merely popular.
Currently in New Jersey, "civil unions" are the law of the land, and earlier this month, a commission struck to study whether or not they bestow equality reported that the answer is an unequivocal "NO!" Instead, they bestow a second class citizenship.
Let's hope California does not make the same mistake.
