Sent Another E-mail to the USDOJ in DC

Today I sent another e-mail to Mr Holder and the USDOJ again requesting an open investigation and a fair trial for the defendant. Need I say how disappointed I am that it takes so much effort and time to reach officials and try to get someone to investigate this case? I have been reading different reports on the web so I know that I'm not the only one needing help but don't you think, well, I think the USDOJ could at least have acknowledged my first e-mail by saying someone will be in touch. Since so many people are employed by the USDOJ there should be people to just deal with e-mails. Or use an automated reply.

I saw a video of Maxine Waters trying to help people in her district not lose their homes. She ran into the same problems that ordinary citizens do when trying to contact businesses by phone. If we reach a real person, that particular person can't give us information that we need, but connect us to someone else. Then the line is disconnected or if we reach someone we still get little or no help.

How did America get this bad? Or has it always been like this and I was naive to think our systems worked better - that our officials worked better than this??

Why Can't Citizens Comment on Certain Articles?

August 8, 2010/Sunday. This morning a neighbor brought over an article she knew I would be interested in reading and saving. I no longer buy the Register and Bee. "Chatham man files complaint against police department". Chatham is in Virginia. The newspaper article is dated Saturday August 7, 2010. On the internet, an article about this same story, dated August 6, 2010, is no longer taking comments. Commenting has been deactivated and comments are hidden. HA!

Okay readers, are you getting more understanding about how Virginia newspapers don't allow citizens to comment on certain topics? I can only speculate about what people could have possibly commented about a Virginia police officer violating the rights of a black man in Virginia. But I don't know exactly what comments were made and if you go read the article, you will not get to read the comments either. The URL to the article is:

There is an older article dated June 26, 2010 that is still taking comments, different topic. But an article only a few days old already has been closed down and comments are hidden. So much for letting the public speak publicly. Older article here:

The Virginia State Attorney's office and the United States Department of Justice in Virginia and Washington, DC probably have so many complaints against police officers that they just ignore them all. Where does that leave Virginia citizens? It leaves us at the nasty hands of corrupt/racist officials who know they can do whatever they want to us because higher officials ignore complaints against them.
