		<description>I read the response from InTruthand4Justice and couldn&#039;t resist.  These are just a couple of thoughts that I have.


Susan just ran for reelection in November.  Yet there were no protests.  Why now?
If she felt so strongly, why not do it then?  It is a lot easier to influence a local election.  Especially in a non presidential election year.

InTruthand4Justice states:

“3 Judges, including Susan Criss, and Mr. Sistrunk were given notice that material perjury was committed by a witness that was used to convict a man. To date, no one has taken action which makes them guilty of MISPRISION OF A FELONY.”

THREE JUDGES AND THE DA? Three judges and the DA determined that there was no basis in this allegation.   Maybe there was no basis.  It sounds like she doesn’t feel all that strongly about it, if this is the first time that  she has step up to the bat. Mr. Head could always use this on appeal.

If someone was assaulted, why didn’t they call the police to report them?  Hmmm.  By the way, what the heck is Hertz doing giving out customer information?  Most companies would refuse to do that.  It is proprietary information.  I am definitely not going to rent from them again!

And last but not least, the reporter Mr. Williams.  I have been interviewed by him.  I have been interviewed by others who have twisted my words out of recognition.  Mr. Williams has never done that to me.  


I trust Mr. Williams, as I know who he is.  InTruthand4Justice is this vague and murky person.  She won’t give her name.  She won’t show her face.  I have organized protests.  My biggest was the one for President Bush when he visited Galveston Island in 2005.  I had no problem being interviewed by media outlets.  I made a lot of them, including Fox News.  At that time it was not that easy to go against Bush, especially in Texas.  You know what?  I gave my name, AND I showed my face.  I have done the same thing for other protests. 

She wants to have people take her at her word.  Yet, she doesn&#039;t seem to have the courage of principle to come out of the shadows.  I don&#039;t think so. 

Well, these are just my thoughts.

		<description>I find this very amusing, because more than one person from the fund-raiser has advised me that the they approached the protesters and were told they were hired by the temp agency.

In addition, have you looked at the photos of the protesters? Why are some trying to hide their faces? And, do most people who stand somewhere to protest something stand around so casually, smoking cigarettes and tossing them on the ground? And, why were all the signs crafted by the same person?

If you were one of the protesters, I&#039;d appreciate it if you&#039;d tell us which one you were. I&#039;ve posted photos, so you can go to the photos and tell us which one you were. 

Thanks!</description>

		<description>Simply put Mr. Leibowitz, THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT HIRED PROTESTERS AND HAD VERY GOOD CAUSE TO BE PROTESTING SUSAN CRISS&#039; ELECTION KICKOFF; and any statement made otherwise simply is not true. 

SO, let me address the issues...  for those who care to read more than one warped side of the story.

1. I was picketing.  I was not hired by a temporary agency. I was not paid. In fact, no one that was there was hired by a temporary agency.  Please produce the persons name that made this statement.  And if you can&#039;t or won&#039;t than don&#039;t dare make statements to the effect that we are hiding our faces if you produce false information to a newspaper reporter.  
2. Perhaps we do look like &quot;ROAD RULES REJECTS&quot; and I guess the comment could have been worse.  But more importantly, why make the comment at all? Consider this: 5 of the people are Democrats, 3 are Republican and 2 are Liberals. 

LETS LOOK AT WHAT WAS NOT REPORTED BY THE HACK OF A SO-CALLED REPORTER (SCOTT WILLIAMS) IN THE ARTICLE:
1. Susan Criss&#039; campaign consultant from Boston assaulted one of the protesters.  The rental car agency gave us all of his information including where he lives in EAST BOSTON and his phone number.  We also have not only 11 witness, but 1 who works for the city and informed Susan Criss and Kurt Sistruck, while pointing the man out to both of them, that he assaulted one of the protesters without provocation or retaliation. During the assault, the man made the following statement: &quot;You do not know who I am and what I am capable of doing to you.&quot;  Well, in fact, we were quite impressed by this man&#039;s resume online and we take notice of who you are.  But what I can&#039;t possibly understand is why you would harm a person exercising their right to free speech?!?!  (BTW...  your car was due back to Hertz at 11 am yesterday morning and they would like for you to call and extend your contract if you are going to keep it a bit longer).
2. None of us accused the D.A.&#039;s office of perjury.  NOW, IT IS CLEAR THAT MR. WILLIAMS DOES NOT TAKE CLEAR NOTES SO HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP. We stated that 3 Judges, including Susan Criss, and Mr. Sistrunk were given notice that material perjury was committed by a witness that was used to convict a man.  To date, no one has taken action which makes them guilty of MISPRISION OF A FELONY. 
3. It is a FACT that Susan Criss&#039; courtroom behavior leaves much to be desired; with her rolling her eyes and swirling in her chair.  Her downright rude behavior leaves most people dry and it is beyond unproffesional (and unethical) when her huffing and puffing during a trial is overheard by not only members of the gallery but by the jury as well.  And if her actions over the last 9 years are any indication of how she will treat all of Texas, be afraid... really afraid.

I envite people to visit her courtroom.  It might make her act in a decent manner.  If not, you will be subjected to what the attorney&#039;s that practice in front of her have to deal with on a daily basis.  

A comment was made that we are starting early because we are running scared.  We started early because Susan Criss started early.  We will continue to protest her running for Position 8 and we will not be dettered, no matter who else threatens us.  There is no way I will entrust Susan Criss, with her &quot;egregious method of creative justice&quot; (again for the benefit of Mr. Williams) in such a powerful position. 

THESE ARE NOT FALSE ACCUSATIONS.  IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO CHALLENGE THIS, PLEASE CONTACT ME.  MY EMAIL IS InTruthand4Justice@yahoo.com.</description>

		<description>This smells like typical Tory astroturf -phoney grassroots.
I saw the same stuff from the Shelly Sekula-Gibbs campaign and from those thugs DeLay sent to beat up that old lady at the Lampson rally.</description>
