Subj: USDA COALITION FOLLOW UP....WIDESPREAD ABUSE AT USDA CONTINUES
28 september 2015ms. portia bamiduro:good morning.this email is one of many follow ups regarding the usda coalition of minority employees, concerns regarding continued abuses and other violations at the us department of agriculture, during the obama/vilsack administration. i know saying such things make democrats on the hill very uncomfortable and they become silent on these kinds of matters and do nothing.that being said.....Black folks continue to suffer more than others in american society (see below story attached), and usda continues ignoring the regulations and illegally closing valid complaints filed by employees and customers.during this election cycle the powers that be in washington will not be able to ignore/cover up what has been going on at usda....all too long.hopefully, you will be getting back with the usda coalition and others that have contacted you in this regard....with some plan of positive and immediate action.we are aware that you have data/information regarding usda abuses from multiple sources.silence is not an option. people are suffering and we feel that little to nothing is being done to relieve their pain & suffering. we await hearing from you.respectfully,lawrence lucas, shadow presidentusda coalition of minority employeespresident emeritus856/ 910-2399
