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
Marla Ruzicka, in Memoriam

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".

"Children exploited through prostitution typically are given a quota by their trafficker/pimp of 10-15 buyers per night,' the Shared Hope report says, adding, "though some service providers report girls having been sold to as many as 45 buyers in a night at peak demand times, such as a sporting event or convention.'

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that fights government corruption and judicial abuse, announced today that it has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Leslie Dutton and the American Association of Women against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Sheriff Leroy D. Baca for denying Dutton’s “Full Disclosure Network” an opportunity to interview inmate Richard Fine. Mr. Fine is under incarceration indefinitely for contempt of court in Los Angeles County’s Men’s Central Jail stemming from his legal efforts to counter alleged corruption in the Los Angeles County court system. Plaintiffs allege the Sheriff’s Department and Baca have violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

The Clinton White House procured the private FBI files of Alexander and Duggan in 1993 and 1994 respectively by claiming the two individuals required access to the Clinton White House. One problem. Neither individual worked for the White House any longer and therefore did not require access. This was simply a ruse by Clinton officials to get their hands on the files, something they did with regularity. In fact, one FBI official testified they made 488 such requests based on the bogus claim of "access" in a single year! The Clintons called in a man to cover up for them, current New York City "Chancellor" Joel I. Klein.

Mayor Bloomberg donated $1.2 million to the Independence Party just before Election Day, sending two checks for $600,000 each. The party then gave $750,000 to what the newspaper calls "a shell company" associated with Bloomberg operatives. One former Bloomberg aide says he believes the money was used as "street money" -- to encourage voters to go to the polls. State Sen. Malcolm Smith and Congressman Gregory Meeks have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars, including taxpayer money, into a charity led by their spouses and cronies -- an organization with almost no accountability on its spending.

As an immigrant, Davis sought her American dream by striving to serve her new country. In early 2002, Davis graduated with honors from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, receiving an Outstanding Achievement Award. She reported to her duty station at the San Ysidro, CA Port of Entry in San Diego and quickly learned her new job. She built good relationships with coworkers, received outstanding performance reviews and started to move up the ranks within CBP. But her American dream was shattered when she reported a series of ongoing national security breaches pertaining to deficient processing and subsequent entry of subjects from countries with terrorist ties, into the United States, as well as her concern over the removal of metal detectors and X-ray equipment from the Port inspection areas and the reduction in the security staff.

Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of the University of California Irvine School of Law and constitutional law expert, articulates it best in an e-mail he sent to the Sacramento Bee concerning the problem at hand: “The Clergy Housing Clarification Act gives a tax exemption for ‘ministers of the gospel’ that is not available for anyone else. The Supreme Court has said that the government cannot favor religion over secular activities. This does just that.”

From the Foundation website: "The Supreme Court, in its Citizen United decision, opened the door to an unfettered, unregulated influx of money into elections from corporations and labor unions. The Sunlight Foundation recommends seven broad transparency measures to address the multitude of problems exacerbated by the decision. Moreover, we urge Congress to immediately create a robust, rapid transparency regime that takes full advantage of technology. This requires real-time, online transparency at every level of influence, from independent expenditures to lobbying to bundled campaign contributions." I say, support this effort! Betsy Combier

Judge Diane Larsen in Chicago has thrown out a landlord's defamation lawsuit complaining about a disgruntled tenant's Twitter post. Judge Larsen ruled that the alleged post -- "Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? Horizon realty thinks it's okay" -- was "nonactionable as a matter of law."
