Subj: updated email...Subj: TIME TO TAKE A STAND FOR JUSTICE...VETS INCLUDED, AT USDA
4 september 2011xxxxxxxxxxxx:minority farmers and usda employees (many of them vets) will filibuster daily in front of usda, on the mall, washington dc, beginning 4 october, because of continued racism, sexism, sexual abuses, reprisals, bullying and other widespread abuses, during the obama/vilsack administration at the department of agriculture.we have been talking about these matters all too long, and to many people, organizations....like your own, and no one paying attention. now we are going to take it to the american public.....news media. we will let america know about all the injustices at usda ...."The Last Plantation....2011".shirley sherrod proves our point. what happened to her can not be disputed by no one. if they do it to one of their own...how do you think they fell about minority farmers, especially, Black farmers, and usda employees.under the obama/vilsack administration & his leadership team, usda refused to settle a nrcs employees case who passed away, in front of a washington dc fire house years ago. this is a continual show of mean spiritedness and a lack of "compassion" of this administration. they refused to bring closure at the request of his mother.the abuse of women at usda is historically known around the country. three women class actions alone were filed over the last decades and another as recently as months ago. the women filed individual cases against secretary vilsack, as well, because he has spent his time ignoring their problems at usda. now he is trying to put a bandage on a cancer.under the present administrationwill your organization take a stand/support such a legitimate cause....speak out?thank you.lawrence lucas, presidentusda coalition of minority employees"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
