The E-Accountability Foundation announces the
'A for Accountability' Award
to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.
Winners of the "A":
Johnnie Mae Allen
Dee Alpert
Hipolito Colon
Larry Fisher
Bernard Gassaway
The Giraffe Project and Giraffe Heroes' Program
Karen Horwitz and Darlene Goodman
Jimmy Kilpatrick and George Scott
Matthew LaClair
Wangari Maathai
Erich Martel
Frank Mosco
Steve Orel, in memoriam, Interversity, and The World of Opportunity

The E-Accountability Foundation announces the
'F for Fraud' Award
Fraud comes in many shapes and sizes, and we often do not recognize it or the trickster until the consequences of the deceit begin to hurt us or those we love, know, or hear about in the media. Fraudulent actions are always costly, however, and we must remain vigilant in the global effort to stop these practices whenever and wherever they occur. We celebrate the exposure of those people who greedily go after money or glory rather than work hard for a fair wage in a moral and ethical manner by giving them an "F".
Winners of the 2004 F For Fraud Award:
The Belmont Learning Center (Los Angeles)
Teen Boot Camps (International)
The Drug/Insurance/Government Testing and Screening Coalition

We celebrate the alliance of the Internet with the awareness that for too many years people elected to publicly-funded positions have promoted policies that do not serve the public interest. We challenge those who believe they can continue to violate the public trust to stop and listen to the buzz of millions of people visiting websites, emailing each other, blogging and chatting online about what is going on behind closed doors. We promise to hold you responsible for your actions.
We call this process "e-accountability".

An Iowa egg producer is recalling 228 million eggs after being linked to an outbreak of salmonella poisoning. The CDC said about 200 cases of the strain of salmonella linked to the eggs were reported weekly during June and July, four times the normal number of such occurrences. State health officials say tainted eggs have sickened at least 266 Californians and seven in Minnesota.

As schools handed out pink slips to teachers this spring, states made a beeline to Washington to plead for money for their ravaged education budgets. But now that the federal government has come through with $10 billion, some of the nation’s biggest school districts are balking at using their share of the money to hire teachers right away.

Mr. Sampson is drawing scrutiny for his legal representation of Edul Ahmad, a Queens real estate broker linked to a loan scandal. Mr. Sampson's involvement with Mr. Ahmad, who has donated to his campaigns, became known in July, when documents released by the Department of State disclosed that Mr. Sampson was Mr. Ahmad's lawyer. The documents also revealed that Mr. Sampson was disciplined by the Department of State in 2009 for notarizing a statement by one of Mr. Ahmad's employees, even though his notary license had expired. It appears that Mr. Sampson also used a Senate staff member on at least one occasion to aid in his representation of Mr. Ahmad, potentially running afoul of state ethics laws.

“We are calling on Congress to enact a national renewable energy standard which would help stimulate growth of more wind, solar and other cleaner energy projects across the United States,” said Kevin Walsh, managing director and head of Power and Renewable Energy at GE Energy Financial Services. “A renewable energy standard would help provide long-term certainty the energy industry and financial community need to ensure continued expansion of renewable energy throughout the country.”

Of course he is. He is above the law, for Pete's sake. His brother Daniel works for the New York State Office of Court Administration, and his father the Hon. Basil Paterson is the respected member for the Harlem Political Club and a key player in making sure that New York State runs HIS way.

But no one knows exactly how much the State will get, where it will go, and who will decide. Hmmm...let me see: Rep. Charles Rangel is in very serious legal trouble and needs some money for his ethics battle...Andy Cuomo must pay his many admirers to disregard the flagrant corruption of the courts that he continues to ignore... that's my two cents.
