Prosecute George H. Corn for Murder

In true hypocritical fashion, the Ravalli County Attorney has wanted to prosecute the 43rd president for Murder for the war in Iraq.

Isn't it a psychological strategy to shine the light on something else to take light off of your own issues, and possibly criminal behavior? I believe it is called "wagging the dog".

Don't get me wrong, I've read the book which made the case that any county atty could prosecute the matter with respect to George W. Bush....and its compelling. Seems like George Corn signed on as the partisan prosecutor for the Democratic Party in Ravalli County on Bugliosi's webpage.

Not many people know George Corn is a Democrat, in a very conservative valley and state. Deceptiveness is the first key to criminal behavior. Making allies and alliances within the entities in the Bitterroot valley makes sure he is never questioned, and never loses...even if he is wrong.

In 2005 his "outreach" and services to his constituents went overboard. Judges, on his command such as Justice Robin Clute (his former employee) turned up the heat, and violated citizens rights to reasonable bail. The US Constitution is the silent enemy here, judges hate the 8th Amendment right to reasonable bail. It gets in the way of George Corn's agenda.

Reasonable for Robin Clute is to follow all orders of George Corn. Usually, this is called being an accomplice; we'll indict Robin Clute for conspiracy to murder. Ignorance to the US Constitution is not an affirmative defense available for JP Clute; neither is stupidity.

The New York Times investigated the suicide rate in the county (twice national average) and the four accomplished in the Ravalli County Detention Center in 2005. Excessive bail was deemed the reason for the suicides. They came from Clute who did not alter or examine the requests from George Corn. When the justice system has no checks against each other, catastrophe happens. When Corn needs to destroy people to feel powerful, we are his subjects, and the local justice system his employees and conspirators.

An example in 2010 of the ludicrous requests: $200,000 for conspiracy to assault with pot in possession. No shooting, no vehicular homicide, no rape. Clute went with Corn's office suggestion. Can stupidity, and arrogance lead to murder? Just ask OJ Simpson.

The Ravalli County Attorney office has no rival, no conscience, no law, nor the US Constitution. We, the people need to understand the deception (The Ravalli Republic Newspaper), the problem...Robin Clute, George Corn, and the solution...voting a person that can reject the Ravalli County Attorney Office and Corn....Justice Nancy Sabo.

Corn and his conspirators who take away our rights, use law enforcement to intimidate us need to be stopped. He is murdering our rights, he contributed to the murder of 4 inmates, and countless lives altered, and destroyed in Ravalli County...for his ego.

Watch one of Corn's deputies in the courthouse sometime. Always being right, always getting your way leads to brats, and dangerous public officials. Corn has bullied commissioners, for any budget he wanted; he has disallowed citizens their right to vote, and petition our government. This is the Declaration of Independence from George Corn, a man who has taken personal pleasure in making lives unnecessarily difficult. Many voices are out there with this same story about George H. Corn Ravalli County Attorney since 1991. Now is the time to be telling your story to your neighbors and friends....they will get around before the election.

His friends such as Max Baucus and Steve Bullock cannot influence your vote. Baucus has helped to keep Corn in office for 20 years. There is evidence that Corn should be indicted for Murder, more so than a President who enjoys complete immunity from liability. Mr. Corn only enjoys a system he alone controls in the Bitterroot, and his liability protection stops at reasonable actions, and knowing that violating rights will make the buck stop at him. Corn may be more of a liability than any publicity from the 2005 suicides.

Voters can hold George Corn accountable on November 2, 2010. Others of us can hold him accountable for how unreasonable he has been with our rights. The dead can haunt him for being so arrogant. Lets let him be as arrogant as he wants, but not on our Payroll in Ravalli County. George H. Corn has murdered thoughts and dreams, and made it seem like it was the Public's or the individuals fault. The former Detainees know the truth: Corn led the justice system that violated their rights and made them give up. Lets change the judicial system with one vote: NOT FOR CORN.

The commissioners must stand up to Corn. None have. that is for another entry.

Bitterroot in the Crossroads        orenzspace.blogspot.com 

The Bitterroot has a choice to make. The current way has incompetent and fearful people unwilling to supervise, or oversee their subordinates. Poor leadership brings us no freedoms guaranteed to Americans. This manifests itself in activities of former Hamilton Police Officer Nic Painter, a rogue unconstitutional cop.

 The same goes for Ravalli County commissioners: an incumbent refused to ask questions, or discipline a department for proven misconduct to disabled veterans. These are the crossroad decisions. Our Sheriff was unwilling to uphold state law because he was told not to. The Hamilton police chief is willing to look the other way for a felony hit and run and not oversee officers under him; a city council refusing to terminate such substandard department heads. Is it easier to work together on crime, or shuck the small incompetent group for the common good?

County voters are willing to elect a malfeasant into office, someone they grew up with, or was raised in the valley. The last time I looked at a post office, or county building the flag flying was the Stars and Stripes, above the Montana State Flag. These known actions turn our area into a very disgusting place of hypocrisy, pluralism, nepotism, and a belief that laws do not apply to us because we are above them. In our valley, it matters who you are, and how connected to the group, or severely hated for speaking up. Should we watch, as a motorcyclist went flying, was hurt, and our Highway Patrol ignored a witness to the accident? We determine our own outcomes.

 Is secrecy the way we want to live? Let people suffer, because we can?

Hamilton’s police chief is “tired of the marijuana law”: it’s the law, and if Oster is tied of his sworn oath to uphold and protect the law it’s time to go. “Chief” Ryan Oster must be fired immediately: we don’t need a chief of police willing to watch, and allow our laws, and police officers go unchecked. He was chosen for local incompetence: our previous and ongoing crossroad decision. Do we really want to live this way?

The problem lies not just with the elected or public officials in our valley. The people elect them knowing the problem, their incompetence, and allegiance. We all contribute to the problem. The genie is out of the bottle.

Further, civil rights lawsuits are filed, and more are planned. Our chosen way of life is ending in this valley. Law enforcement will no longer charge, incarcerate victims of crime, and laugh at their ability to control a situation. Judges will no longer “think” something is a crime: our land is grounded in rights, and probable cause, not closed-minded group-think. This group practices reverse justice: charge the victim with the crime. This cruelty packs a double psychological punch: in the hopes of driving the citizen from the area, or sending them to the Public “DealFenders” or crooked private attorneys to mark them with a permanent record.

Criminal records can be used as defamation when needed by the core group in charge; it’s a process which all roads lead to the County Attorney Office. Prosecutors care only for gratification, not protection of citizens. A candidate for office bragged about 13, 000 cases in 20 years. The valley has little crime, most of which is perpetrated by law enforcement: by tampering evidence, intimidating witnesses into false testimony, intimidating employers to bankrupt citizens by firing them. Lastly we have the “newspaper” which is the voice of the corruption. It can publish false truths to defame, and ruin reputations. They are paid to print what these officials wish; discussed in public meeting, spoken directly from the Sheriff’s mouth, and is sport to the elite group. Paid unlawful activity for another is known as racketeering. The company owns about 35 newspapers in Montana, in almost every market.

We do not live in the Ravalli Republic, but rather the American Republic: let’s remember that. The core people want to keep this silent, and influence the public to vote for them, sometimes by threat. This is the crossroad for the Bitterroot Valley.

When faced with injustice, humans have a choice. It takes courage to do the right thing. That is your crossroad.

What We the People exposed in Ravalli County:

A group of concerned citizens gathered in the basement of the Bitterroot Public Library. At the time, group members were being targeted and followed by the Hamilton Police Department. The Mayor of Hamilton has the legal duty to properly supervise these officers. Instead, law enforcement, prosecutors, and a number of judges and attorneys colluded to intimidate law-abiding residents. This situation was getting out of control.

A local newspaper was encouraged to publish defamatory articles about group members.

Our group was being targeted because we pieced together evidence regarding the tremendous control County Attorney George Corn exercised over the “trough” that lawyers must feed from to make money in Ravalli County. Judges who had previously worked for Corn were swayed to rule against their better judgment when he made motions to “reconsider.” Although this tangible evidence of improper influence is a matter of public record, the Montana Bar Association did not take action. However, in December 2008 a civil rights case was filed in Missoula against the county. One count in the indictment included conspiracy to deprive civil rights section 1983(42USC s. 1983). This conundrum is as yet unresolved.

Our group has determined that the weaknesses revealed in this situation are most related to informing Bitterroot residents of the true happenings here. We decided to break this control of information in order to expose the workings of some who seem determined to exclude residents from processes of repeal and reformation. Our method was to create a website with interactive e-mail and an information blog. This was a lot safer than public meetings and is how www.Bitterroot-rising.org  came to life. When some issue needed attention, we added pages. One example which inspired our concern was when a 30 year veteran EMT director in our area was unfairly fired by Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital. We also had questions about safety in the NIH-RML Lab in Hamilton. This continues to be the only level 4 bio-lab (they work on “infectious agents” like Ebola) in the United States without federal fire protection. The nearest Haz-Mat team is in Missoula, which is approximately 50 miles on two lane roads in the Nothern Rockies of Montana.

It is our hope that these efforts may inspire reform. “We the People” will debut a documentary on local justice in short order. The film will examine many aspects of a flawed justice system, crippled law enforcement, and what residents have to say. Our local government officials want to police themselves, rather than being responsive to their constituents and accountable for their actions. It is time our public officials heeded the will of the people of the Bitterroot Valley. We have been ignored for too long. This blatant disregard for civil rights scorns state and federal constitutions: those who protect this “system” can keep their jobs if the “go along.” Special rights of passage are conferred even when necessary qualifications are missing or lacking. Many refer to this system as the “old boy network.”

Regardless of what it may be called, justice is taking a back seat to political expediency, and we are losing our rights to life, liberty, and the freedom to pursue happiness in the Bitterroot. Unfortunately, The Hamilton Police Department has become primarily a mechanism for brining in revenue. They have targeted individuals for intimidation, sometimes up to fifteen miles beyond the city limits. They have been seen parking in driveways outside their jurisdiction. A current commissioner wrote in a bid for office, that we need a “definitive leader” in Ravalli County. Have we found this yet? Are the voters of Hamilton ready for someone to sort all of these problems out? The maintenance of the “status quo” is very important for the individuals it benefits: a few public officials. If we want to reclaim our justice system, we must get involved. We need to elect qualified candidates and stop listening to gossip and lies. The propaganda which is being marshaled and published to defame residents of this area must end. The police must not act as an enforcement arm for any business, and neither should they perform as a security force dedicated to local government.

If “threats” or “disturbances” are called in, law enforcement must act if these calls are false.  We cannot let local government and select businesses cry wolf; the wolf are the hunted in Montana.  Members of the local “We the People” group can hold our heads high. We have worked hard to stand up for our neighbors in Ravalli County. No newspaper, with a history of partisan political posturing, should be allowed to be used as a tool to discredit our work. The problem most often arises when candidates for office are working hard to reach voters so that we can make needed changes. We cannot allow entrenched politicians to silence the voices of freedom.

I offer to take seriously the oath of office as Mayor of Hamilton. I will clean up corruption, respect the council, and encourage public participation. I am the only candidate who has proposed a viable economic recovery plan for the Bitterroot Valley. The initial work on a commuter rail project will sell homes, increase property values, and provide an alternative to driving on one of the top ten “killer” highways in the United States.

We need not surrender our future. We can choose to elect a dynamic leader who will handle these problems and do what is best for the City of Hamilton. With new leadership, we can recreate a Ravalli County government which is responsive to the people and responsible for its actions. Rather than surrendering our liberty we must insist on justice. Together, we can make a difference.

Michael Spreadbury, for the membership of We the People.

Why rights are more important than "civil discourse"

This letter is to comment on the Bitterroot Democracy Project, and indicate that there are some problems with this seemingly beneficial organization. First, let me state that I respect Bill LaCroix for some of the work he has done, like getting in Max Baucus’s Washington, DC office to speak on health care. Wherever you stand on that issue, to speak directly to the man in charge means you are well spoken, and taken seriously.

Protected speech, expression, and assembly can consist of objectionable, caustic, and even filled with foul language. From the quotes, and the “civl discourse” mantra of Bill’s group it will directly interfere with citizens rights in the Bitterroot Valley. While I don’t promote caustic or taunting speech, it must be protected to the standards set within 1st Amendment cases. Sometimes public officials need to know that people are upset, and have a viewpoint on an issue. We live in a nation where that is protected, yet Ravalli County wishes to criminalize, vilify, and prosecute our neighbors who exercise those rights.

 Our Prosecutors (both running for office) have an egotistical problem that comes from the power their position encompasses. They feel they can do no wrong, and are always right. This atmosphere is shared with law enforcement, and probation officers in this valley. The famous Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) tells us that power will turn on innocent people. It is much easier when they are dressed in orange, and called Defendants.This is why we must all be vigilant about our rights, and protect those rights from a group who have the right intention in mind, but will ultimately stifle, or directly encourage the squelch of protected speech.

If you love the constitution, you know that a militia is allowed and gun rights are protected. They were publically upheld by the US Supreme Court about a year ago. Therefore, there is no need to “counter” a militia group in the Bitterroot Valley. If they break any laws, including disturbing a public meeting, the charge is Disorderly Conduct (10 days jail, $100 fine).

We have too much of a constitutional crisis in our valley to focus on “public education” of citizens when they feel the need to speak. Democracy is about inclusion, not educating people on being civil. I only wish the public was aware of the Law Enforcement Liability, and the Prosecutorial Misconduct which is out of control, and makes our local economy empty so we spend on fines and fees instead of investing in our local economy and future. While I professionally respect Bill LaCroix, I am not sure civil discourse will solve our problems. I stand with Bill LaCroix regarding the wish for all groups here to get along. I feel a good start would be to stop vilifying people based upon beliefs, or even actions. We should enjoy our valley, starting with mutual respect for each other, instead of attack mode: either in the courts, on the streets, or within public meetings using protected speech.

SUPERCOP goes to Missoula?

July10, 2010

Roy P. Pilkey Hamilton, Mt 59840 

To whom it may concern,

I give this statement as true to my word.

I am a retired Seattle Fire Lieutenant residing in Ravalli County since Feb 7, 2002. I have trained five Fire Recruit classes for Seattle, and I have sat on Employment Review boards and Promotional Review boards, regarding both firefighters and police. I am the author of the "Letter to the President" www.Mtjustice.info.

It has come to my attention that a recently terminated Hamilton Police Officer has applied for service within the city of Missoula. It was also alledged that he received a recommendation from his former Chief Ryan Oster of HPD. (we are asking for termination--see Law Enforcement watch page)

The person I believe applying is Nick Painter whom I observed as a Police officer in the City of Hamilton.

If he is being considered, I would strongly suggest that you give Chief Oster a lie detector test in regards to his recommendation, and that you give Painter a physcological exam, a lie detector test, and a drug test before you make any promises to either of them.

Painter was recently terminated with full pay from the City for what was cited as misconduct. How can that be? He could only be terminated if something were true, and he had done something wrong. Hamilton could not prosecute Painter without blowing the whole coverup, he has too much on all of them. I would point out, that his termination was never made public by the City. It only appearred in a small article in the Bitterroot Star, one of Montana's only independent newspapers.

Following the Public Outcry on June 16, 2007, (mtjustice.info) citizens have lived under a reign of terror from Nick Painter. In his first year of service, he ran unchecked, unsupervised, like a teenager playing cops and robbers. He did not attend the academy or swear an oath until he had served for one year. He is an insult to everyone who ever carried a badge. The pain and suffering caused by this person is indescribable. In the "Letter to the President", and the documentary "Beneath the Beauty, he is referred to as "Supercop". His name decorated many urinals and toilets in the Ravalli Republic.

After forming a group in our area, to try and fight the lawlessness there, (We the People), one of the first people we were directed to was the Law Enforcement Academy under the direction of Alan Horsefall. Mr Horsefall alleged that he had never heard of Painter, but if there was a problem, we were to direct people to him for investigation of the complaints, and if true, the officers in question could be relieved of duty. Since we had received no help from anyone else, we thought this was good. I was instructed to meet with the Police Chief, which I did, and I encouraged people to call Horsefall. We had been assurred anonimity.

My first meeting with Ryan Oster was pleasant, but he insisted that all of this was not true and that everything had been thoroughly investigated by him. I tried to explain to him that I had been first hand witness to much of this but that was useless, I think he thought the Pumpkin truck had just driven by. I said to him that I had worked with a lot of officers in my career, and that "I think Painter is nuts". The scene that transpired next is impossible to put into words. The Police chief of Hamilton Montana turned his head to my right and squealed "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"! I am seldom at a loss for words. We agreed to work together. There are 15 cops in Hamilton, guns are brandished and used by police regularly. Deny, deny, deny, it is'nt what happened, it's what we can make it look like happened.

While all this was going on, all of the people that had testified to the city council or turned in a complaint were being harrassed. Bricks through windows, speeding tickets, slander, public mockery, second arrests, all denied by Oster. Perhaps he no longer had control of his Officers, especially Painter. Painter was touring the county at night showing up miles from the city limits, he had young girls sitting in on our meetings, drive bys and pull overs at every chance. Then it was my turn.

First I got an unsolicited call from an FBI agent in Missoula, he called me by my nickname on my cellphone. He asserted that he would not believe anything that I had to say regarding HPD, "I really like what those guys down there are doing". I guess this guy is for real but cant seem to get his name right from the Salt lake City FBI, is it Mossback, Mossberg, or Mossbag??? They have used all of those, is he undercover? Seems he has a relative in law enforcement down in the Ravalli Republic. We did send 140 pages of testimony to Richard Powers asst director of the FBI in DC, but he has been relieved of his duties Since mr baucus now runs the country.

So far I had nothing other than outrage at what was happening, but that all changed when Painter starting driving by my house revving his engine at night, by the way I live well outside the city limits. [Note: webmasters house was spotlighted after uncovering inappropiate use of such by HPD] Calls to the dispatcher asking what was going on were always, no, there shouldnt be anyone there. So I called Oster again, no response. When I went to a council meeting regarding finances, Oster was there in regards to making more detective positions for promotion. He saw me in the crowd and before he gave his presentation, he gave an "oh by the way, Mr Pilkey who represents a group called We the People, called me and I investigated why there was an officer in front of his house, he was investigating a hit and run".
I called him the next day and set up another appointment. I was now followed whenever I went through Hamilton, right on my back bumper.

At the next meeting we were joined unnanounced by the Sheriff, chris hoffman. I was now playing ping pong with two dolts. hoffman was appalled by my claims of ineptitude of the Officers that he had personally trained, his distinguished career in law enforcement was not to be taken lightly. In the background I think they were playing music, country music, "there's a light on in window, but there's nobody home". Let's just say I stepped on their ball, and I wanted to see the agreement that gave HPD free run of the County, and I wanted to see a copy of the city limits that the bogus city of Hamilton had never recorded since they never incorporated. Response from hoffman, "I am sure that's around here someplace". I dont see Hamilton Cops out in the county anymore so I dont think hoffman ever found his paperwork.

Now it got really nasty, Oster wanted to know if I had anymore names for him with complaints, since everyone that had called the academy had been turned over to him, and by the way Gh....s back in jail. No ryan, I have nothing further to discuss with you. (mtjustice.info) G was a mother whom Painter had railroaded, her story is told in the Letter to the Pres. Heartwrenching. It turns out Horsefall was a longtime friend of the Oster family and we were to "let bygones be bygones". No ryan, no more names. I'd call that a coverup, straight from the academy. The line of people that would love to hang Nick Painter is very lengthy, but they live in fear. Oster covered it all up. Horsefall was interim and disappeared.

Painter was now out of control, he thought he was bulletproof. Teenage girls pulled over with "if you go out with me, I won't give you a ticket", outraged mothers were ignored. Underage girls brought to bars in Stevensville and served alcohol by Painter. When the bars tried to turn him in Ryan Oster's answer was that it was a sting operation to see who was serving minors. There is a tape of a 14 year old girl and her 16 yr old boyfriend, who was held at gunpoint by Painter,telling them "do you know who I am"? Hamilton ignored it. Painter publicly bragged that he had dodged the bullet. He got divorced, married an underage girl, whom he appears to be abusing in the city of Hamilton with obvious impunity since his dismissal. He has too much on Hamilton, and ryan oster. (mtjustice.info). The chiefs answer was always "we investigated and he was reprimanded".

Painter was promoted to Detective, probably to get him off the streets, he and Oster had recently covered up a real Hit and Run (9/14/07--see picture at Law enforcement page) by a Hamilton City Councilman who is no longer on the council. Montana State Patrol knows about that one. Coverup with injuries. [note--we found more thrown accidents by MHP]

Does the Missoula Police chief report to the Mayor? Is he responsible for hiring? In Hamilton, the tail wags the dog. There are numerous Federal and State Law Suits in place at the moment regarding the legacy of Ryan Oster, Mister Painter, sheriff hoffman, and Hamilton.

I wont bore you with anymore inuendo, so I would hope that your town has a little more class than Hamilton, you would not hire a childish, dellusional, psychopathic bully and give him a gun and badge to "Protect and Serve". Mr Painter should be applying for parole, not a job.

I would go through hell to be at your disposal, I already live there.

The Wise Statement about Politics:

Of course you're now entering the ugly, grimy world of politics, the slimy attacks, the insulting slurs, the lies and unfounded negative claims...everything but honest, factual debate. It makes me sick. I guess the average citizens and the politicians-office seekers either don't care this crap is happening, are too stupid to engage in an intelligent discussion, don't understand the purpose of civilized political dialog and it's critical importance to the healthy functioning of American democracy, or maybe just everybody has given up or forgotten about what this is supposed to be all about and descended to the lowest form of self-centered, inane, and childish squabbliing and mud-slinging. It's sad and not a hopeful sign for the future of this country. And the present generation is learning from this example; and they will learn either to continue this descent into crap, or perhaps recognize the warning signs and lead the political discourse to a higher level.  That is if they are capable....

Ken Pitchford, Geologist working in Korea on US airbases by email.

Letter in Response to Peter Pilkey's www.mtjustice.info website:

If I were trying to speak with you I would truly be speechless - your
Obama/Bitterroot piece leaves me breathless. Good thing my fingers can
still type. Peter, I am simply swept away by your integrity, passion and
effort to do the right thing. You admit to imperfections, we all have
them, but I think your Mom is very proud of you.

I wish I could understand why good people are so often oppressed by the
incredible greed and corruption of others..Perhaps it is simply to test
the will and strength of those who cannot tolerate unfairness. Yes, it
is a burden but there is an element of freedom in it, too, for to live
the opposite kind of life would be intolerable. Maybe this is how angels
are formed.

Copies of the President Letter are on reference at the Stevensville Library in a white three ring binder, with plastic inserts.  Ask for either the President or Pilkey Letter.  For friends who don't have computer access, we thought of that too.

Letter from Hamilton Police Department Detective: Supercop Nic Painter

To Whom it may concern,
I just finished reading the 10 page letter written by a person that obviously has a warped mind. If you’re going to write a letter making such serious allegations, maybe you should at least get your facts straight. I didn’t read a single story that had any validity to it at all. It makes me embarrassed to live in this great valley if there are people as stupid and ignorant as you living here. Keep your opinions to yourself and bitch to your mom if you don’t like the way things are around these parts. Better yet, why don’t you move to California where you can join a liberal anti-law enforcement group and bitch all you want. I am sick and tired of people like you and I hope one of these great Officers brings a law suit against you for defamation of character.
Good luck wherever you end up in your new motorhome… it sounds like a good place for you to reside!


Webmaster Note:  No police officers names were used in the letter to the President.  The only name mentioned was George H. Corn; asking the President to ask his deputy chief of staff "from Missoula" who the heck the Ravalli County Atty is, based upon his abuse of the US and MT Constitutions.  It is a bit hard to "bring a lawsuit" when no officer names are mentioned.

Also note, the officer's email to us said "put this on your silly little website" and did not reference the attached document published above.  It took us a few months to find it.

Steve Gammell off the Mark

Webmaster note: The Ravalli Republic (with George Corn on the editorial board) refused to print this letter on behalf of Michael Spreadbury for Hamilton Mayor.

Dear Editor,

I'm writing this letter in response to Steve Gammell's "Truth about Tasers" dated September 1, 2009 as published in the Ravalli Republic Newspaper.

First of all, I would like to ask Mr. Gammell a few questions.  Are you, Mr. Gammell a veteran or the armed forces?  Are you trully a 30 year veteran of law enfocement?  The reason I have doubts Mr. Gammell is that anyone who is a veteran of either department knows how important adequate training is.  Without the proper training of personnel in either the military or law enforcement can bring disasterous results in different situations.

Do you know Mr. Gammell that most states requre an officer to be certified in the use of handcuffs, battons, mace and pepper spray, tasers/stun guns, and also firearms?  The reason, Mr. Gammell is to avoid lawsuits, fatalities, or any other accidents caused by improper training by an officer.  An adequately trained law enforcement officer is to the benefit to the public as well as to the officers.  Proper training Mr. Gammell can save lives.

I have read Mr. Spreadbury's article and I have talked to the man personally concerning his views on "tasers".  Mr. Spreadbury is not against officers using them; he is concerned about officers being properly trained in the use of them.  In other words, Mr. Gammell, he is trying to look out for the public as well as the Police Officer.  Knowledge, training, and safety are the key words, Mr. Gammell for any law enforcement agency.

"Tasers" are an alternative to the use of deadly force.  Yes, Mr. Gammell, I was certified in the use of the aforementioned tools of law enforcement, including a "taser".  But, Mr. Gammell, the improper use or the lack of training can result in a fatality, of any tool used by law enforcement.

This should be the concern of the residents of Hamilton, not someone from Corvallis, such as yourself.  It seems to me that if anyone is "whining", it is you, Mr. Gammell.

Mr. C. Dickey, Hamilton, Montana.

Letter to Kristen Bounds, Publisher of the Ravalli Republic

Webmaster note: this letter was hand written in the office of the Ravalli Republic, a staff member called the Hamilton Police Department and said threats were made.  False information to law enforcement.

The answer to this letter has come....they are interested only in defaming residents.  When is enough, enough?  We think it is showing your true colors by printing false information 5, and 6 times.

We wish them luck defending their Defamation in court.

Dear Ms. Bounds,                                                                                               7/9/09

In an online comment, actually a few, defamatory comments are present.  Does your paper endorse this?

A false arrest warrant was issued and is listed under title 3 (a non-criminal code).  This is record as requesting removal of this comment material.

By not doing so, your paper condones defamation.  In Shook v. Ravalli County your paper is listed as a contributor to defamation.

My campaign for Mayor will issue statements to your paper.  Please make these requests electronically to (email address listed).

Do not call my residence phone. It is 363-XXXX.

Signed,

Michael Spreadbury

 Dear Chamber, Ravalli Republic Newspaper, local AM radio, and attendees:

 
I am the author of The letter to the President, a 10 page letter sent to President Obama. This letter is on a website, www.mtjustice.info . I have received over 10,000 hits in the last 40 days. Here is information forwarded to me and to www.Bitterroot-rising.org, regarding Hamilton, and Montana.

I dont think that it takes a rocket, or bio lab scientist to see how Hamilton, the Bitterroot, and the State of Montana are being portrayed to the rest of America, and they are listening.

I would add, there really is an America out here beyond the state borders. I am on the road and openly trying to get my rights back, as my 10 page letter clearly states. Everyone that I contact is appalled at every story that is the daily life there. I will confirm what the letter to us said. Without fail each says a sentence that will contain some of the following words "never, going, visiting, shopping, buying, attending, living, doing business ever", in Hamilton or the State of Montana.  After all, we have a municipal police chief at the FBI back east, a tripple murder in Florence unsolved, missing hikers, and few rights in the Bitterroot Valley.  The state and region's commerce might tank to scary proportions if solutions aren't proposed quickly.

Our motto of "Justice means Prosperity" should also be your motto.   We highly recommend the T.R.U.S.T. system as described in multiple pages of this website as a start to your progress.  We need trust in our public officials, they work for us, and should not let us down as they do now.

There is no clear, or easy way out of these problems to which we have sought a solution for several years.  The Montana Attorney General has refused to talk to us, as has the Governor.  US Representative Denny Rehberg has asked AG Steve Bullock to contact us, if he is done threatening us, we will work with him. 

I see that you are involved with a conference at the Bitterroot Inn regarding this issue, so I wish you the best in these tough times. No better time to clean all of this up then now. 

Sincerely,
Peter Pilkey a refugee.

Webmaster note: We the People had no idea of the unintended effect of commerce loss in Ravalli County, and Montana.  We the People have only sought legal, sound suggestions, and solutions for our Justice issues.  Holding our breath will only make Montanans suffer, something no one wants to see happen.

How Long Can it Go On?

Published April 8, 2009 Bitterroot Star available www.Bitterrootstar.com Webmaster note: the thought police have removed this letter from the internet, please cut an paste if you would like to have a copy of it.

We all know that there are problems in Washington, DC but are Bitterrot Valley Residents knowledgeable about the problems in the Bitterroot Valley? National Politicians are bought out by corporations, like AIG or lobbyists. When a voter calls our representatives in Washington, you will be asked “what organization” you represent. I always say I’m a constituent. We are becoming the minority voice to our representatives, and all of our governments.

Does it really surprise Scott Burlingham that Max Baucus takes money from big business, and forgets our interests? He is a better actor than Mr. Burlingham thinks: he conned us in to voting him into office 6 times. This is business as usual, and what might not be well known in the Bitterroot is that Max’s staff work in very high places. One works two doors down from the Oval Office. Max also has friends in the Bitterroot, like George H. Corn, who relies on Max to keep him out of harms way. This is a big job.

After reading the self published book “Finders Keepers” (I-Universe, 2009) we find that Scott Burlingham is a major player in activities as local law enforcement. Isn’t it funny to see the ‘sootman’ calling the kettle black? Since the wrist watch incident in approximately the year 2000, the prosecutors, law enforcement, and newspapers have all gone downhill. Mrs. Bolen made a sacrifice to attempt to combat the malicious prosecution, prosecutorial misconduct, and equal protection problems that have only gotten worse since her “strange encounter with local law” (the book’s byline).

Mr. Burlingham, and many more dyed in the wool Republicans in the Bitterroot will continue to complain about the Democrats activities; they are no different than Republicans. Is there any difference between Republicans and Democrats when you are talking about accepting money from big business? Nope. This Detective from the Sheriff’s Department is drawing our attention to Max when he and his Department have forgotten how to read, listen, and adhere to their so-called “oaths”, and our rights. Where is their sense of public service to the public, when they have such a disregard for their “defendants”, and “suspects”? If someone like Mrs. Bolen doesn’t comply, the “system” of law enforcement, non-independent judiciary, and prosecutors will destroy them. These parties will alter evidence, obtain criminal conduct warrants when no crime was committed. The oaths and flags only amplify the obligation to the system which provides employment, and supposed protection. The real question is: should Max Baucus be protecting local activities and local politicians with his entrusted power in Washington?

If there is money to be taken from big business, any politician will take it. If there are rights to be violated, Ravalli County will do as they please under color of state and federal law. Probable cause, due process, and equal protection have been shown in a court of law to have been violated by Mr. Burlingham. Now, these national rights are on trial in Missoula in the Montana US District Court as Ravalli County is sued by former county residents. The real question is: how long is this system under the guise and direction of George H. Corn that is being protected by Max going to be protected by the White House, the local “system”, and the media?

An Unknown Democrat in Montana

This letter was sent to national magazines in NYC, DC and elsewhere in the United States:

In Ravalli County, Montana a prosecutor has created a justice system that he alone controls. Over time, this Democrat has built a system in a very strong conservative base. The use of direct and indirect intimidation and abuse of process facilitate his control. When an isolated valley has limited access, limited communication, persons willing to take employment to protect it, you have described a subversive criminal system like the one in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana that has been operating for over twenty years.

The problem began to be understood when law enforcement abuses started getting the attention of local residents. It does not matter what party you subscribe to, when basic constitutional freedoms are not being protected, all Americans need to stand up and say enough’s enough. In the summer of 2007, Mr. Denny McIntyre, the spouse of a newly elected county commissioner was accosted in the Corner Bar of Hamilton, Montana and sustained 57 stitches in his head; nobody seems to know who did it, or how he had injuries that seemed beyond self defense. Similarly, a hunting guide forever lost his privilege to work his profession when his right-to-carry permit has been revoked by Justice Robin Clute, of Ravalli County. This man’s firearm was confiscated without warrant, outside of the jurisdiction of the law enforcement that illegally seized the property. Where is the Second and Fourth Amendment in the State of Montana, and isn’t Montana supposed to be the leader in 2nd Amendment rights?

When a life threatening situation arose for a Ravalli County resident who had previously sought help with the local authorities, he was not allowed to defend his property from attack, an “inalienable” right under the Montana Constitution (Article II Section III). These situations were protected and orchestrated by George H. Corn, (D) the Ravalli County Attorney since 1991. If you spend any time in the Ravalli County Courthouse, you will witness the breech of rights from Judges, Prosecutors, and helpless Defense Attorneys. It is a manifestation of this system set up and operated by our county prosecutor, an unlikely and mostly unknown democrat in a conservative state.

The inside knowledge that some of us have come to know will make your blood chill no matter how warm blooded you are. Due process is the equal treatment of all those who face justice issues. Unfortunately, the “going after” of US residents is coined as loyalty to our county prosecutor, who is allowing and perpetrating prosecutorial misconduct in Ravalli County, Montana. These actions are being protected by all parties involved, within the state by the Montana Bar, the Montana Judicial Commission, the Montana Attorney General (AG) office, and now that the issue has been brought to the US Justice Department attention, our US Senator and close friend of George H. Corn: Max Baucus; one of the most powerful Democratic senators in the US Senate. Senator Baucus of Montana is the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Max has placed one of his former staff in the White House under Obama, and attempted to have another nominated as US Attorney for Montana to politically replace well respected Bill Mercer, who worked in Washington DC as a top ranking Justice Department Official under Bush.

The “quick-picks” for US Attorney are those who will look favorably upon Democrats who have conspired with George H. Corn in Ravalli County, and throughout the State of Montana. Don’t let Max pull the wool over our eyes: with knowledge comes power; however, in Corn and Baucus’s case, without knowledge of this scheme increases their dominion over “conservative” leaning Montana. Max has shown his disdain for justice, and his ability to protect fellow democrat friends such as Corn.

Imagine creating a criminal system in place for twenty years. To pull off the five (5) induced suicides within the Ravalli County jail within 6 months, and continuous due process violations, there are necessary ingredients to your lair. You reward and need law enforcement, you compromise and pay off a corporate newspaper chain (which local affiliates in most of Montana), trump charges against the state judge, and gain power over the county departments and commissioners to hire and support your methods. This has all been done by George H. Corn of Ravalli County. Try to get a complaint of misconduct into the AG office, and you will be threatened with loss of your job, and your home. The local law will shake you down and find out who you are employed by, with or without probable cause. In today’s working world, losing work is an easy way to rid of the people who are questioning Corn’s local system. Usually it is plain disgust that makes county residents flee. An undertaker of Ravalli County stated informally that Corn was “invincible”. These constitutional traumas have, and will happen until justice is served. Corn’s last line of defense is to plead for help with his 20 year friendship with fellow democrat, Max Baucus. Justice should never be political, to the point that no rights are being bestowed on US citizens in any part of our sovereign land. Most Americans will say that policies can be partisan, but don’t touch justice. To keep the protection of property from Montanans is like keeping the apple pie off the dinner table, and the Chevrolet out of the garage. Let Max Baucus know that helping George H. Corn of Ravalli County is like helping the Russians to state secrets, and violating rights of Americans.

His senate website can be found at www.Baucus.senate.gov  which will have email ability, as well as phone contacts throughout the state of Montana, and to his Washington DC office directly. Taking firearms of Montanans who rely on them as a way of life (guide work) is no business of a US Senator, or his friendships locally in Ravalli County, Montana.

Ravalli County, Montana (or the Bitterroot Valley) is rising, and fighting off this criminal scheme. A group of stalwarts have created a website to illustrate, and highlight these problems. It can be found at www.Bitterroot-Rising.org and also further information can be found at www.MTjustice.info.  Ravalli County Attorney Corn is either up for re-election in November 2010, or will retire.

There is a State of Emergency for Justice in Montana

Published electronically on March 5, 2009 www.Missoulian.com

Published in the Great Falls Tribune March 7, 2009 as Saving Justice

Dear Editor,

Helena has a few more residents than usual. The Governor and Attorney General have quite a posse. Is it too late to save justice in Montana?
Criminal accident schemes in the MHP, false warrants like parking tickets, Bar and Judicial groups astray and threats like mortar in our very own Wall.
Is it wise Brian, to proclaim from Denver that Montana is better? We have no justice, no plan other than “holding our breath”. How embarrassed will you be when that same federal government you mocked has to save the Treasure State?
Should our legislature consider secession from the Union?
Steve should successfully argue against the Bill of Rights, being an ivy-leaguer and DC circuit attorney and all. How will the constituents take it? Montanans are tough, right? Justice is for those silly Americans, not us Montanans.
When the wildfire season crowns, we’ll issue spades to every able Montanan; who needs those federal fire grants to put out our blazes?
Stimulus? Heck, we have done without before; it just “gives us motivation” to do better. Should I inform Max, Jon, and Denny that their services are no longer needed? There is an emergency in Montana with respect to Justice.

Emergency Declaration Request

Ms. Ann Brodsky                                                                                       February 12, 2009
Chief Legal Counsel
Montana Governor Schweitzer
PO Box 200801
Helena, MT 59620-0801
Fax 406-444-5529

Dear Ms. Brodsky,

This letter is to follow up to our voice mail message sent this afternoon regarding justice in the state of Montana. You had mentioned in your December 10, 2008 letter to us that a “task force on justice” was not possible given the legal framework of the state. We will trust that is the case, given your position.

Since systematic problems have been uncovered in the state with respect to justice, this correspondence is asking for an Emergency Declaration by the Governor with respect to justice. The following is the reasons for this request:

1. The Bar Association protected unethical behaviors of attorneys involved in criminal conspiracy, and constitutional crimes with respect to the State of Montana constitution and the US Constitution.
2. The Judicial Commission protected several judges who acted in concert to #1, and also issued a false criminal arrest warrant.
3. The Highway Patrol engaged in criminal scheme in at least two counties with respect to accident misrepresentation and charging crimes against innocent Montanans. Secondly, they did not issue a score to the national police officer test administered on November 15, 2008. Thirdly, refused to investigate a hit and run accident in Hamilton on September 14, 2007 involving a city councilman.
4. The Attorney General Office has refused to investigate a county attorney from Ravalli County, and the current AG did make verbal threats in 2007 to take employment, and threatened residence for merely questioning a county attorney’s action.
5. The judiciary within Ravalli County and within the state is not independent.
6. The law enforcement in Ravalli County abuses rights of citizens daily.
7. The former AG Mike McGrath failed to take action when written request to do so about justice when material dated 9/18/06 was sent to his office. He is now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. These cases can take up to five years to litigate.
8. Governor Schweitzer was sent this same information and took no action toward justice in Montana.

9.  Online add:  11 cases of suspected rape in Lincoln County, Montana which are unsolved, and could be Law Enforcement involved.   If these same law enforcement is allowed to cover up the crimes of their department, US citizens who live in Lincoln Co. have no justice.

10) (online add) When an Attorney General office in Helena is called to report suspected law enforcement rape (see #9) and are hung up on, it is not clear that an Emergency for Justice exists in the State of Montana, Governor Schweitzer?

11) (ONLINE ADD) The Montana Attorney General has let the state's law enforcement get away with felonies.  These are sposal assault, grand larceny (40,000 rounds of ammo) and firearms, induced suicides and felony hit and run for a Hamilton City Councilman during the previous AG.  The law enforcement are committing crime, and the public and justice are in jepardy.

If the Bar Association, Judicial Commission, Courts, and Attorneys are compromised in Montana, this indicates an emergency situation. The US Justice Dept. recognizes this fact, and sent Chief Justice Roberts, and Justice Scalia to ask that lawyers uphold the constitution and have strict responsibility when they spoke in Missoula in 2007 and 2008.

Please take this request very seriously. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A Letter to the Montana DCI                                                                    May 6, 2009

This letter was sent to four to five papers within Montana--none have printed it

The Montana Justice system is ranked 48th in the Nation by the US Justice Dept. and announced in September 2007 on NPR. Larry, the head of Division of Criminal Investigation does not care: “Nothing we are doing that is contrary to the MT or US Constitution.” The paycheck is too fat to let him see the truth.

George, from Hamilton had his shotgun seized without warrant with law enforcement outside their jurisdiction; this is in the 4th amendment of that US Constitution. Mike, had his petitions locally and state-wide denied, in the 1st amendment of the US Constitution. Jay, had his 14th amendment and Article II deprived for equal protection, as did others.

Tony, a retired police officer had a presidential order denied on a weapon carry permit that is only denied in Montana: where a county attorney can violate people’s rights and be protected by Bullock’s system. Keep doing nothing Larry.

Steve Bullock, refuses to be a public official accountable to anyone. Maybe our MHP should give test scores, and stop committing crimes on duty. Justice brings prosperity, and the Montana could use a boost up. The state of disrepair in the justice system can be viewed at www.MTjustice.info.

Defamation is not OK and Neither is Violating People's Rights.....You'll see

Dear Ravalli County Commissioners, others.                                                                   5/12/09

On May 5, 2009 I spoke to you in public comment in a meeting which violates Montana Law for open meeting. Asking someone if they have public comment is not consistent with state law insisting on an printed agenda, and other provisions. See the statutes I provided at the end of my public comment on May 5, 2009.

Second, how many incidents such as Mr. Blakeley in Stevensville will you tolerate from the RCSO and Mr. Chris Hoffman? You are in court at present for civil rights violations, and will most likely lose this case (Shook v. Ravalli County; Montana US District Court). Denial is the first step, who is brave amongst you to take the second?

Third, I wanted to comment on the "cleaned" comments that I made on May 5, 2009 when I asked for a copy of the meeting minutes. Should I bring a video camera or tape recorder next time? Who do you exactly work for, and let me say how disgusted I am with your inaction, inability to respond to the public, and the things I read about myself on the internet from your meetings. Perhaps I should be invited to defend myself to this ludicrous activity of the Commission. Ravalli County voters will demand a change to your behavior.

My character is well above any of the five commissioners. Remember that your employees denied, and did not follow simple laws for recall, and committed crime by calling the police (this is called criminal conspiracy--when a public or private entity calls law enforcement to put down citizens with pent up crimes). Your law enforcement "shook me down" on your front steps at 215 S. Fourth St. after observing my actions in the building that did not warrant an "interview". My last employer now does not call me after revealing my employment info to this "officer". Be very proud of your actions.

I would also like to thank you for my character assassination in your "paper" the Ravalli Republic. How would a reporter know about a "letter" if they don't attend the meetings, and call my residence to harass me prior to getting receiving this letter? I hope you enjoyed the sentiment returned, un-opened, care of the post office.

Most importantly, when will you stop the assault on your citizens? Abuses with respect to rights of citizens are documented daily in Ravalli County. Places like US Senator offices, county buildings are in business for the public. Please work for them.

I am completely disgusted to think that public servants that you are supposed to represent would maliciously attack someone's character, career, and livelihood as persistently, directly, and intently as this county has. What gives you any near right? You missed the turn for the high road a couple miles back, I suggest you find your way back.

I have received no notice for not allowing me into the Montana Capitol, or Senator Offices as you discussed, and have not received contact from Steve Bullock, someone who has threatened me as Montana's chief law enforcement officer (this is contained in an affidavit), someone whom US Rep. Denny Rehberg has asked to contact me; he hasn't. I reported stolen mail (incoming and outgoing certified mail) to Senator Baucus, as well as pled for civil rights in Ravalli County. Does that constitute banning from his office?

If asking for US and MT Constitutional rights is a problem, then we have more of a problem than I will ever cause. The good ol boys and girls club was is being shut down in Ravalli County, due to the fact we are within Montana State and US Soil. We have constitutions, rights, and laws, please follow them or resign your position.

The T.R.U.S.T. system is waiting your governing power Ravalli County Commissioners. Do you work for the people, or White House staff underwritten George H. Corn? I was told that several commissioners felt they had "guns to their heads" when presented with Corn's budget for the RCAO, that is much less serious than upholding rights, right?

This will be sent to the MT DOJ, Senator Baucus, and the Ravalli Commissioners on May 12, 2009. I think sleeper cells have been discovered in Ravalli County. You all.

Someday, I hope you can reconcile my treatment, and publishing of defamation to counter the very apparent lack of effectiveness in Ravalli County. I breathe easier knowing that the Shook case might shake some sense into this community---if it is ever reported on.


I write from the higher ground.

Montana Association of Counties Contact (MACO)

Webmaster Note: these guys paid off the Shooks for the tune of $200,000.  It is pretty costly to violate US citizens rights in the Bitterroot Valley, Commissioners!  We pay for your mistakes.  It us up to our public officials to stop the practices in Ravalli County.

Dear Mr. Harbour, MATCO personnel: (by email on 5/21/09)

If a county is sued, like Ravalli, and Flathead County are presently for Federal Civil Rights, this affects the insurance payment, and elevates the premium of other counties in your consortium. Lincoln County Government has a huge integrity problem; it cannot solve 11 rapes, and will not meet with concerned citizens.

I presume that all of you are a residents of Montana, and also citizens of the United States. We have an Emergency with respect to justice. We have a Governor who proclaimed to the country in Denver not one year ago that Montana was better. Better than what? Montana is ranked 48th in the Nation for Justice.

Perhaps you can show me where this "better" is taking place, because all I run into is people telling me that county officials have "wide latitude" (MT Assist. Atty General, May '07) and to do as they please. The court cases are filling the pipelines (county liability-- a Matco issue).

How do we define wide latitude, because our county saw induced suicides of 5 suspects (2005), and are expert at ruining the lives of Montana Citizens.

I am hoping that your organization will find some purview that will engage this matter. Many organizations have, including the American Bar Association, and others. Leadership is stepping up to the plate, not saying it's not your responsibility.

Here is your mission statement:

MACo’s VISION STATEMENT

MACo enhances the public service mission of counties by promoting integrity and providing proactive leadership while acknowledging and respecting Montana’s diversity.



I didn't see an action item or metric on how to accomplish integrity with respect to county government. I would think this would be a priority with Matco.


Thanks for your time, the May 19th press release and supporting URL's are at the bottom of this message.

How Wal-Mart finally decided to flee the Bitterroot                               July, 2008

A 1.5 page letter was drafted to the CEO and Chief Legal Council of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in Bentonville, Arkansas.  It merely stated that between the criminal activity displayed in Hamilton (and the interest at the highest level possible at the FBI HQ in Washington, DC) and the internal policies of Wal-Mart, it would not be a good idea to build in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.  The internal policies to the company stated that an employee could be fired with cause by giving gifts, like septic and utility installation to the City of Hamilton.  The letters were sent via certified mail. 

It stated that their executives have much more integrity than the local and state governments here.  It complemented them on their dossiers and work history, saying that their dollars should be spent elsewhere.  They responded through their retained attorneys in Phoenix, saying that they "don't have any property in the Hamilton area, and have no plans to build."   The small stores on Main St. in Hamilton, as well as our local county businesses owe a great thanks to Mike Spreadbury for writing this letter.  He is currently running for Mayor of Hamilton, and exploring a timber industry startup in Ravalli County.  Sorry this information had to be paraphrased, we could not find the file.  Strange what good things can come from the illegal activities of others!

The letter was written on behalf of the dedicated people who submitted a petition to the City of Hamilton to inact a vote if any annexation is proposed.  They were ignored; Wal-Mart listened.

Our original letter to the US Senators

US Senator Max Baucus                                                                      August 29, 2007
1821 South Ave. W. Suite 203
Missoula MT. 59801

US Senator Jon Tester
204 Russell State Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20501-2644

Dear Senators,

This letter is coming to you from residents of the City of Hamilton, and the County of Ravalli, in the great state of Montana for which you serve us in our nation’s capital.

We, the people who have signed this letter have contacted the US Attorney’s office, Montana Attorney General’s office, the State Deputy Fire Marshall, the Governor’s office, the Montana Bar Association, the Judicial Standards Commission, the Montana Police Academy, and other entities to seek help against the abusive, intentional, and well established civil rights violations which have occurred, and will continue to occur in this area.

Our city police force knows no limits or bounds as to their harassment, nor jurisdictional boundaries. They have been observed to be intimidating citizens 15 miles from the city limits. The city attorney has prosecuted hundreds of cases without being sworn in as the city’s attorney until this summer. An incident occurred this summer where a spouse of a county commissioner had 57 stitches sewn into his head and the city police did not cite, arrest, nor investigate the alleged crimes involved.

In our courts, the sixth amendment right to speedy trial is mocked by allowing continuance upon continuance where more than seven months can transpire before trial will take place. This amendment is written to lessen the damage of false charges, and their associated damages to the individual. In our community, a person can be charged with a crime without prima facie evidence, and have rules of criminal procedure violated by a judge. Court dates are intentionally moved to catch a person out of town to add more charges: failure to appear in court. This county has a refined, well oiled system of corruption which gives employment to those who support it, and encompasses the newspaper, local governments, law enforcement units, and judicial system. There is no such thing as independent judiciary at the Municipal and Justice Court level. There is no such thing as justice in the city of Hamilton, nor in Ravalli County.

We respectfully REQUIRE a congressional inquiry into these problems in Ravalli County and the City of Hamilton, Montana.

This inquiry by your offices will make issue and bring the required importance to civil rights in Ravalli County.

We strongly recommend the cessation of all federal funds until such time that officials from this area can answer federal indictments on criminal charges. Such thresholds have been met for the US Attorney to take action in our area. We have already established this with their office in Missoula. However, we also wish for your inquiry to strengthen, and ensure its action.

We specifically would like to see all Federal Fire Suppression Grants to be suspended for Ravalli County indefinitely until Civil Rights are restored and proven to be of utmost importance.

Secondly, we would like to see all Federal Highway Funds frozen, specifically the Highway 93 corridor project through Ravalli County suspended until all investigations and allegations are cleared.

Thirdly, we require that the US Dept. of Justice grant for the amount of $15,161 be returned to the DOJ from Ravalli County if it has been paid. Rewarding law enforcement for violating civil rights cannot happen.

When 70% of Ravalli county is owned by the Federal government, this level of inquiry should effectively shut down this system of criminal behavior. Five (5) inmates of the Ravalli County Detention Center took their own lives within the past couple of years. Our group feels strongly that these lives were lost due to taking away hope via civil rights violations. These souls stand as testimony to the horrific actions of Ravalli County law enforcement, county attorney, and those of the city law enforcement.

We wish to be very clear: Ravalli County does not follow, respect nor wish to be under the color of State or Federal law. These flags are flown, but the lawlessness prevails. If the county refuses to uphold state or federal laws, should the monies be forthcoming?

The undersigned believe not.

Letters to Directors of Bitterroot Valley Libraries

Dear Ms. Langstaff,                                                                              April, 2010

Please uphold the first amendment.  It is pathetic that you run a library the way you do.  Please tell me where in the world (anywhere hun) one cannot sit peacefully on the lawn of a library.  The answer is Hamilton, Montana USA.

The only thing that is pathetic here is the fact that your staff did not hand out your library policy (whooo...two whole pages) or follow it.

One must willfully violate the rules to lose privileges.  If the person is not clairvoyant, one cannot break the rules without being told of this violation.

What are you going to do when the Montana Constitution and the law, as well as the US Constitution come to judge your library? (may we suggest resignation?)

(Langstaff was gone as of summer of 2010.....poof)

Ms. Renee McGrath, Director                                                                            June 8, 2009

Ms. Gloria Langstaff, Director
Bitterroot Public Library

Hamilton, MT 59840

Dear Library Directors,

A few weeks ago, I attempted to put a three ring binder on reserve at both of your libraries. It seems that this decision is being deferred to each “governing board” which will meet on June 18, 2009 at the Bitterroot Library in Hamilton, and June 17, 2009 in Stevensville. I am wondering why a federally funded public library is hesitant to put print information on reserve for those who cannot access them on the world wide web?

A founding father, Benjamin Franklin began the idea of the public library, as I am sure you both are aware. Its mandate is to serve the public’s a) information needs b) general entertainment, and c) leisure purposes. Most libraries have a non-circulating reference collection. My submission of a labeled three ring binder (with plastic protected pages) contained a letter to the current president of the United States. The subject matter is justice within Ravalli County and Montana; it meets a public informational need.

In any university, materials are placed on reserve for students of a particular class to access. In this case, it is a critical and emergent situation to civil rights, justice, and general public safety. By hampering this submission, it violates the objective of a public library, and quite possibly, violates my freedom of speech. With advanced degrees in Library Science, it amazes me that this could transpire. Let me remind you both that in 1995 a “personal letter” was published and available at national libraries which advocated violence, and condoned murder. The letter ended up being from Lincoln, Montana.

In Stevensville, a resident there was taken to the ground by an aggressive law enforcement team as he stood on his front porch with a pellet gun. In Hamilton, a shop owner not two blocks from the Bitterroot Library was a victim of family member assault in her own place of business, was arrested, charged, and incarcerated for the crime. In three western Montana Counties, crimes against our citizens include induced suicide, and suspected rape by law enforcement. I think the public has a right to know about these crimes, and the efforts of concerned citizens; this includes the letter to the President of the United States from March, 2009. It was submitted to your respective libraries to be requested by your borrowers. Lack of information was how this situation propagated; a library should not keep this information from the public, or need any governing board decision on written material that is suitable for any adult reader who enters your library.

I look forward to having this material available to your borrowers.


Michael Spreadbury
Hamilton, Montana

Note: the Bitterroot Public Library is publically funded, and act like a private gestapo.  The Stevensville library entered the submission, and is availiable today at the North Valley Library.

SENT VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL AND FAX

Dear Dean Russell,

I attempted to meet with you on two occasions which were both canceled. In September, 2007 former Dean Eck and I met a week following the visit of Chief Justice Roberts.

The Chief Justice spoke to the law school about the responsibility of attorneys and compared it to wildfire suppression: in its intensity, its responsibilities, and the need to have a strategy that sometimes is unique. Is this the message that your graduates will receive after completing the program for a Juris Doctorate from your school?

Two years ago, a second-year law student (named Angela Wetzsteon) prosecuted a case in Ravalli County without supervision, and without a Montana Bar License. For her work, she earned a spot as a prosecutor in that office. A recent graduate (named Matt Stevenson) from University of Montana who used to have a full page color advertising tab in the Missoula phonebook sold his clients civil rights down the river (in Ravalli County) for $5,000. His client had to turn themselves in for failure to appear for misdemeanor charges when a different University of Montana lawyer represented this client. Law enforcement appeared at the clients house at 3:30am to arrest this client for something that was not a crime.

What would your graduates do in these situations?

A State Judge and prosecutor made a statement to a defense attorney in Ravalli County: “If you defend this client in this case, you will never practice law again in Ravalli County.” How will you instruct your students to turn in these court officers?

When Montana is ranked 48th in the nation for justice, these practices will continue until your efforts to improve ethics classes, demand better from the Bar and Judicial commissions, and produce higher quality students from your School.

It is troubling that you could not meet with a member of the public to discuss these issues. What could have been private discourse, is now being published to a world wide audience. You have a heavy task in front of you, and I wish you every success in accomplishing justice for our state. This task will take many years, but its inception mush start now, with you. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Sincerely,

Michael Spreadbury

Students are practicing law unsupervised outside the Montana Practice Act.  This is a criminal offense:

Dear Dean Russell,
University of Montana Law School
Missoula, Montana 
I present to you a 2009 graduate from the University of Montana Law school. She graduated as you were (becoming) Dean. When the Montana Student Practice Act (not rule) of 1975 was drafted the purpose as written is clinical instruction.

Clinical means while being observed. Is there such as thing as a "student prosecutor" who acts "independently"? When I read order# 12982 (aforementioned Act) from the Montana Supreme Court, it tells me they need signature from supervisory attorney to submit paperwork, yet Audrey Schultz acted independently; see for yourself at bottom.

Under MCA 3-1-501 (f) practice without a license is contempt. Under MCA 37-61-210 the penalty for practice without a license is contempt. Criminal contempt to punish a past behavior: MCA 45-7-309: Person knowingly commits the offense of criminal contempt when the person knowingly engages in any of the following: (c) purposely disobeying or refusing any lawful process or other mandate of the court [order #12982].

Is there any way to stop the practice of "independent" student prosecutors other than following the Act by having a supervisor present? I would like to hear from the law school.
A friend and graduate of Georgetown Law tells me that student experience is invaluable. I don't doubt this. However, things have gotten a bit out of hand:

Dear Dean Russell,

reqeusted a meeting at the law school with admistrative offices.

found Shapiro v. Jefferson Co. 278 Mont. 109 (1996) which highlights 20 years of Student practice problems in Montana.

Former Chief Justice Gray (female) was a champion of justice, and is sorely missed. Please read her dissent. I attempted to copy portions of it:


I wonder what we are to do at this point, given the Court's decision in this case, with all those students operating under the Student Practice Rule. Even under the Court's incorrect result, no guidance is provided regarding how much "practice" under the Student Practice Rule is sufficient to automatically admit the student to the practice of law. Is involvement in one case, under the supervision of an attorney [my emphasis] admitted to practice, enough? And, if the student is admitted to the practice of law by virtue of the Student Practice Rule, why is it necessary that he or she be supervised at all? [Wetzsteon, 2007]

550*550 In any event, since the Court holds that these students are already admitted to the practice of law, apparently we must ensure that they are issued a license and enrolled in the State Bar of Montana, which is — by order of this Court — comprised of "all persons admitted to the practice of law in this state." See No. 12616, Supreme Court Order Creating The State Bar of Montana, dated January 29, 1974. I am confident that the students will be pleased to avoid the necessity of the otherwise upcoming and onerous bar examination upon their graduation from the University of Montana School of Law. I am equally confident that the number of students seeking to take clinical courses and provide other assistance to attorneys admitted to the practice of law will increase exponentially. Indeed, the State Bar of Montana may be glad to collect the obligatory dues from these heretofore unknown admittees to the practice of law.

Justice Gray, partial dissent from Shapiro v. Jefferson Co. 278 Mont. 109 (1996);

In Shapiro, Julie Wilson, candidate for fill-in Jefferson County Attorney asked for, and recieved credit for "student practice" as admitted to the practice of law, in 1990 at the Missoula County Attorney Office; strange! where Audrey Shultz '09 recieved credit as an 'independent' student prosecutor and is now a State Defender (Billings) in violation of MCA 37-61-412 (Former public prosecutors not to defend).

"Teach, your children well" --Crosby Stills and Nash

I hope to meet, and discuss strategy to abolish this illegal and unethical practice in MT.
Michael Spreadbury

UM Law Dean deciding on Student Practice

>> FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2010
Ms. Irma Russell has been at the remodeled UM Law School for a little over a year now. Since she has arrived, a question has been put to her: "Are your students Lawyers?".

In the case Shapiro in front of the Montana Supreme Court in 1996, it was determined that practice while a law student was eligible for a Jefferson Co. Montana candidate for County Attorney. It seems that since 1975 when the state's highest court adopted an order for the Student Practice Act no one in the state is currently willing to uphold it; not the Attorney General, not the District Courts, and the question to Ms. Russell is: will the UM Law School?

The American Bar Association (ABA), gives permission for the UM Law School to have a clinic, that is, allow students to practice prior to passing the Montana Bar Exam, and swearing an oath to uphold the Montana and US Constitution. The ABA is being mute on the issue, although they could pull the plug on UM's clinic program--thereby not allowing students to practice.

The Montana Attorney General, and a prominent Missoula law firm keeps citing the "The Student Practice Rule" (which does not exist) in court pleadings. The Student Practice Act ensures supervision of law students by competent licensed attorneys at all times. The problem is, UM grads are bragging on Linkedin accounts of being student prosecutors, with "independent" experience which is prohibited by the aforementioned Act.

So the issue goes back to Dean Irma Russell: will you allow your students to violate a court order, which carries jail time for criminal contempt of court for violating The Student Practice Act (order # 12982)? One of the other aspects of this issue is the public nature of the University of Montana Law School, and the Dean deferring and delaying acting on, meeting with public stakeholders, or making policy for University of Montana Law Students as their Dean.

Dear University of Montana Law School Administration & Staff,

It might be interesting to know that your students are reading the material about Student Practice on my websites, which include previous correspondence with the Dean. The law students at your institution are learning the truth, which seemingly is being hidden from them by the Administration.

Ms. Tonon sent a copy of the Student Practice Act, April 30, 1975, order # 12982 from the Montana Supreme Court. It states that a student must be supervised by a supervisor. Ms. Wetzsteon ('08), violated this Act, as did Aubrey Shultz ('09). The Montana Bar, and Attorney General quote the "Student Practice Rule"; funny, I can't find anything by that name. It must be easier to break the rules, than break the law. It looks like your students violate both.

Enclosed is a letter, and blog entry about the UM Dean to decide on Student Practice. The wonderful thing about the internet, is that there is free access. As stated above, your students are watching.

As has been stated for the past year, it is time to meet with the public that supports your school, and is affected by student unauthorized practice. Leaders usually don’t hope things will go away. The leadership training I've had in connection with a security clearance involve making decisions, and deciding when to lead, and when to let another follow. My experience with the Montana Justice System, is that they rely on others to protect them, instead of doing the right thing.

Your students want you to make a choice. No choice compromises your leadership and power at U of M.

Michael Spreadbury

esteemed Graduate, Matthew Stevenson, and how he earns his money in Montana:

 

Photo of Matt Stevenson's BMW Z3 parked illegally (for time, and crossing 2nd St. by way of the definition of a U-turn; see Hamilton Police Department for explanation).  This lawyer is part of the "trough", he was trained in Hamilton, MT and can sell out his clients to George Corn, or the RCAO.  A defendant is not getting any justice if they hire Matt Stevenson of Missoula in a Ravalli County court.

Matt's former partner Martin Judnich was voted the Missoula Independent "Lawyer of the Year" in 2007.  We found some things on Martin, he would hope would not come to light, or to print.  Cruel and unsual punishment is found in Amendment 8 of the US Constitution for government excess on citizens.  Well, Martin Judnich feels a neighbor hosing his neighbor with water.  Martin Judnich filed a complaint with the federal court for cruel and un-usual punishment about a neighbor!  We wonder how this best lawyer, no-doubt UM trained, pictured with a Missoula Judge charged the client in this case.

Standing Our Ground

Working to Change Civic Environment Published www.Bitterrootstar.com July 15, 2009

Dear Editor,

I have worked for two years to improve the civic environment of Ravalli County, which includes the City of Hamilton, and Ravalli County.

Is any resident of this area, supposed to stay silent from the criminal law enforcement activities that we actually read about (which make it into the local press)? Our brave citizens are lambasted as “radicals” in our paper. We are mainsteam Americans taking a stand for our state and federal rights. Our constitutions are radical, we are not.

Are we supposed to be happy when our rights are taken? Are we supposed to be happy when downright criminal acts ARE taking place within our law enforcement units? Are we supposed to be happy when our judges in this area can’t even write a correct arrest warrant and should themselves be imprisoned? Are we supposed to be happy when a police officer will admit on the stand that no probable cause was available in his arrest of a citizen? Are we supposed to wait for our government to save us?

What I am doing about it is running for office, and encouraging others to do the same. I am also a member of the local unaffiliated “We the People” movement who have had more actions for change in our area than any other entity in our state.

We have watched our Attorney General office threaten us, attempt entrapment to a coalition group in Lincoln County recalling their Sheriff, and be uninterested in criminal information when presented to them. This describes the ranking of Montana as the 48th in the Nation for Justice (source US Justice Dept. Sept 2007).

Our law enforcement will steal from their own department, and the public due to the property being purchased from public funds. Our law enforcement will “induce suicide” to 5 suspects of the Ravalli County Detention Center in 2005. Some were in the cell block encouraging these acts due to the suspects supposedly having “no chance”. Meanwhile the detention officers we supposedly more interested in computer games than doing their duty rounds. That is the truth as it has been told to us. Our law enforcement will knowingly endanger citizens, I observed it, and brought it to the attention of the Hamilton Police Chief. Luckily, the officer had “his side of the story” to tell. When Hamilton City Councilman Mike LaSalle t-boned a 2006 black Dodge truck at Foxfield Ave and US 93 on September 14, 2007 at 1400 hrs he put someone in the hospital and left the scene of an accident. Hamilton Police Chief Ryan Oster was at the scene, and the accident report was written by Officer Nic Painter who claimed that Lasalle’s vehicle was “moved”. Later a HPD official claimed they LET LaSalle move his Donaldson Ready Mix owned pickup. When local law enforcement wishes to intimidate an employer, an employment agency, and acquire this information when no inappropriate activity is observed, you have Ravalli County Deputies and Hamilton Police Officers.

I am running for mayor due to working with municipalities in many states, being granted a national security clearance for my background and history, and the knowledge that I can supervise the Hamilton Police Department as prescribed by Montana Statutes. I will uphold my oath of office, and carry out the duties of seeing that freedoms given in these constitutional documents will be upheld. That would be protecting your property, the freedom to vote, speak, and enter public buildings without harassment. I will also ensure that public officials, law enforcement or otherwise will serve the public. Any comment about my behavior is opinion, and it was in response to public officials who were either protecting other public officials, or committing outright crime themselves.

I edited and commented on the Recall Petition for Lincoln County Sheriff. That group called the Ravalli Clerk and Recorder and informed that official that rejecting my recall of Sheriff Hoffman and County Attorney Corn was improper. I was the court representative for a presidential candidate for a petition challenge. I know what I am talking about, I am sure many officials in Ravalli County do not.

Perhaps our residents of Ravalli County and the City of Hamilton will not be so upset when they are treated fairly, and their law enforcement actually help the community instead of commit obvious and ongoing crimes. Those disorderly conduct signs in the county courthouses, administration buildings, and such were not put up for my behavior. At this point, I take pride in citizens of this county taking action against local tyranny.

The “We the People” group, which started Bitterroot Rising.org has asked for indictment of public officials who are working together, and committing crime. The Shooks, who have a legal issue in Federal Court against Ravalli County are seeking civil rights redress (or damages). As a former FEMA employee, I understand the mechanics of the floodplain. This issue is how the Shooks were treated by the County Attorney office and the defamation from the Ravalli Republic Newspaper (which I could also be included in that class). I invite your readers to view the original complaint Shook v. Ravalli County to verify this information available at the Federal Courthouse at 201 E. Broadway in Missoula. It is not if you liked the Shooks, or the floodplain, it is the way in which Ravalli County wishes to be in dominion over its residents, instead of working for them.

The bottom line is this: many of us in these difficult times think that the government will save us. The truth of the matter is we must save our government. This means the City of Hamilton, and Ravalli County Government. I have decided that a person of sound character should represent the people. The City of Hamilton will prosper when sound budgets, respectful and lawful law enforcement are serving the people. Many officials are very scared of my candidacy due to the distinct possibility of them losing their jobs, and criminal livelihood that they have come to enjoy as normal.

Every day I run across more victims of the City of Hamilton, and Ravalli County. I know my path is straight and is the right course. Yes, I have quite a bit of courage to stand up to this graft. So did Virginia Bolen, and many others. My good friend from college told me recently: “…if it is worth fighting for, stand your ground…”. My question to the readers of this paper is: are you willing to stand with me and also run for office?
