Re: Unprofessional Behavior of Supervisor

Ms. Turner:

On December 31, 2005 at approximately 9:00 am I, Fred Nance Jr., entered the South Holland Illinois Post Office. I informed Ms. Cora (postal clerk) the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery reports I could pick up a United States Flag from the U.S. Post Office with my brother’s death certificate and discharge papers. My brother, Ray Anthony Nance, served honorably with the United States Marine Corps. Ray will be buried at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery on January 12, 2006 at 9:30 am.

Ms. Cora informed me South Holland did not have any flags. I requested to speak to her supervisor. A woman came from the back of the South Holland Post Office presenting herself as a supervisor named “Evelyn”. Evelyn informed me there were no flags available, and that I could go to another post office to get one. I requested of Evelyn to order a flag for me or find out what post office had one available. Evelyn refused stating she had to get her mail carriers out.

I gave Evelyn my name and business card. I requested her last name stating I was going to file a formal complaint. Evelyn refused to give me her last name stating she was the only Evelyn at that post office. I requested her supervisor’s name. Evelyn stated she had to go get her mail carriers out. I was under the impression mail carriers’ were responsible adults with training for their particular assignments. Evelyn left me standing at the counter without any of the information I requested of her.

I asked Ms. Cora for Evelyn’s supervisor’s name. Ms. Cora informed me Ms. JoAnne Turner was the Postmaster for the South Holland Post Office. I asked Ms. Cora for Ms. Turner’s supervisor’s name. Ms. Cora stated she did not know, but informed me Ms. Turner’s supervisor is located at the Bedford Park, Illinois office. I requested to speak to Evelyn again.

When Evelyn came back to speak to me, I requested the address and name of the supervisor at Bedford Park. Evelyn gave me an address of 6801 West 63rd Street, Bedford Park, Illinois, 60499. Evelyn informed me Ms. Turner’s supervisor is a manager at Bedford Park, but she did not know the manager’s name. Evelyn also stated she did not know who was in charge at Bedford Park. I politely challenged Evelyn’s general knowledge of who was in charge at Bedford Park because she is a supervisor.

Evelyn stated she is refusing to give me any more information because she has to get her mail carriers out. Evelyn informed me if I did not leave the South Holland Post Office right now, she was going to call the postal inspectors to physically remove me from the premise. I was appalled and embarrassed. Evelyn made this statement aloud in front many customers in the post office.

During my entire encounter with this supervisor, Evelyn, she was discourteous and obnoxious. Evelyn was very unprofessional. What kind of public servant decides they are not going to give their last name when a customer states they are going to file a formal complaint? How does one file a formal complaint naming the perpetrator of the complaint without a full name? What kind of supervisor does not know their immediate and hierarchical chain of command? This woman threatened me with further humiliation stating she was going to have me physically “removed”, thrown out of the South Holland post office because I wanted to file a complaint against her and wanted information.

How does a post office customer get optimal and comprehensive service from a supervisor without questions? Why was Evelyn going to “punish” me for asking reasonable questions about her knowledge of where and who managers are? This is horrifying service by United States Post Office supervisor, especially in a time of one’s grief and anguish. Who will respond? Who will answer the call of disgrace and embarrassment? How does a supervisor retain their superiority over others when their character and behavior is questionable? Is the output so great and majestic at the South Holland Illinois Post Office to accept such character and behavior of a supervisor? Evelyn represents the character and behavior of her superiors and the United States Postal Service as a whole.

Therefore, I request an immediate remedy for my brother’s plight in obtaining a United States Flag for his burial. He served honorably for our freedoms and rights. I suggest a strong reprimand and training for this supervisor, Evelyn. Evelyn needs customer and cultural sensitivity training. Finally, where is my relief for such a trying time of humiliation and loss of dignity?

December 20, 2005 – Why Christians Should Not Re-Elect or Vote for Governor Blagojevich

CHRISTIANS PAY ATTENTION!!!

Did you know Governor Blagojevich signed an executive order in April of 2005 telling Pharmacists they had to distribute the “Morning After” Pill? The State of Illinois was respected throughout the United States for having the best “conscience clause”, which protects medical professionals rights to their religious beliefs. That may be gone down the drain.

There is news, though, on the horizon. On December 19, 2005, The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) filed a new lawsuit in federal court on behalf of 4 “pro-life” pharmacists who were punished losing their jobs, in Illinois, because they did not want to dispense the “Morning After” pill.

ACLJ also reports the Governor of Illinois went on National Television stating what the employer did was correct, suggesting the employer followed the meaning of his “order.”

Go to ACLJ’s website at: www.aclj.org for more information.

December 19, 2005 – Dick Devine: Illinois States Attorney

What’s Going On!!! I have received numberous subpoenas for testimony regarding this matter. Read my letter “Cook County Illinois States Attorney’s Office: Victimizing the Victim” to Mr. Devine dated November 4, 2005.

December 19, 2005

Cook County of Illinois
States Attorney Dick Devine
69 West Washington, 32nd Floor
Chicago, Illinois 60602
Re: Case No. YG191601

Mr. Devine:

I wrote a letter to you on November 4, 2005 about this case in the Markham Courthouse, Room 205. I received a subpoena from Mr. Dennis Dwyer/William Galati stating I should appear on December 16, 2005, in Room 205M, at 9:00 am. The subpoena states, in part, “You are commanded to appear to testify….” I appeared for testimony at 9:00 am on December 16, 2005.

The Assistant States Attorney handling my case was not present. The Assistant States Attorney in the courtroom informed me there was a note on my file stating I should wait for the Attorney handling my case. Opposing counsel was present. The defendant was not present. At approximately 10:00 am, I informed the Assistant States Attorney present I had to go to work. The defendant was not in the courtroom. He informed me I could go and your office would send me another subpoena to appear to testify.

I went to your States Attorney office in the Markham Courthouse building. I asked to speak to a supervisor. The young lady in your office informed me the supervisor was in a meeting. She asked me if she could help. I informed her of the letter I wrote to your office on November 4, 2005. She asked me if she could make a photocopy of the letter and take my phone number so she could give it to the supervisor. She stated I would get a call from the supervisor when he came out of his meeting. Sir, your supervisor must still be in his meeting because I never received a call. This is the same behavior I complained about in my November 4th letter. Your States Attorney’s office in the Markham Courthouse does not return my calls. I am being disenfranchised and put at a disadvantage.

I have two statements: First, the defendant did not show up for court. Second, the Assistant States Attorney prosecuting my case did not show up for court. I took time away from work, as I have from the onset of this matter, to do my duty in testifying in this matter. Why can’t I get the courtesy due me from your office? Why wasn’t the defendant in court? I was told by Assistant States Attorney Dwyer this case would be reinstated for prosecution. What is going on? Please assist me. Can I get a call?

Thank you.

December 19, 2005 – Why Should We Vote for Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich: Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services

December 19, 2005

Illinois Department of Healthcare & Family Services
Mr. Barry S. Maram, Director
201 South Grand Avenue
Springfield, Illinois 62763-0001

Re: 2004 D 650237 Darlene Bouyer-Nance (petitioner) vs. Lawrence Gaston (respondent) with child support for Kristina Gaston

Mr. Maram:

Why should Governor Rod Blagojevich be re-elected? The “new” policies he puts before the Illinois public claim to assist those who are disenfranchised and disadvantaged. The Governor may have good intentions, but when his constituents look for those changes to provide a “better” quality of life those who are in “control” pervert and misrepresent the policies. It may come down to Illinois voters determining “who” is perverting and distorting the oppressive nature of the policy.

The Governor’s office has not addressed or appropriately answered any of my issues raised on my website, http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/, whether it is a mental health protocol for Cook County Illinois, the Village of South Holland, or Child Support. It appears my family is being targeted by the Governor’s office for disenfranchisement and disadvantages. It seems my family is being punished by the Governor’s office for addressing the issue of Child Support by the office of Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services.

I received a letter dated December 2, 2005 from Ms. Pamela Compton, Acting Administrator, suggesting the non-custodial (deadbeat dad) parent has standing for an adjustment in his delinquent child support payments because he receives Social Security. This Social Security received by the “deadbeat dad” may not be from working for a living. The Social Security received by the “deadbeat dad” may be from an illegal drug-related disease. You know our Social Security system supports drug addiction. Social Security was not intended, nor set up for the purposes of payments to individuals for illegal drug- addicted behavior. I wrote about our Social Security system in my doctoral dissertation. This is another subject.

Nevertheless, Ms. Compton sent us a letter stating, in part, “…As previously stated, the non-custodial parent on this child support case has no attachable income.” She cites an Illinois Appellate decision, Department of Public Aid ex rel. Lozada v. Rivera, to support a “deadbeat dad.” This is ridiculous. Ms. Compton supports the “deadbeat dad” further stating, “…This non-custodial parent is making payments routinely, despite the fact that his income is not attachable…. Please understand that the Division of Child Support Enforcement’s services are open to both parents. Should the non-custodial parent seek to have the support order reduced to reflect current economic circumstances, the Division would be obligated to review that request….” What a crock? Why don’t they review the circumstances surrounding the “deadbeat dad’s” receiving Social Security in the first place? Why didn’t they review and appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court the Lozada case?

My family received a “Notice of Child Support Modification Review” dated December 3, 2005. It states, in part, “…The Department will conduct a review of your child support order to determine if the order should be modified. The review will begin thirty (30) days after the date of this notice. The department will seek an order to have the non-custodial parent provide health insurance coverage if the child covered by the support order does not have coverage. Please do the following within fifteen (15) days after the date you receive this notice.” The “Department” sent us a “Certification of Income and Expenses.” This is ludicrous. My family is being punished for reporting the “deadbeat dad’s” violation of a child support order. Is Governor Blagojevich’s “action plan” for his constituents?

The “Department” should question the “deadbeat dad’s” right to have Social Security payments. If a person has a “life-threatening disease” from the use of illegal drugs, why is the public paying taxes to support this person? If a person has not worked, which the Social Security system was set up to support, why should that person receive Social Security?

My family, which includes this “deadbeat dad’s” daughter, has been through enough with this oppressive and tyrannical system governed by Mr. Blagojevich. We will not honor this “certification of income and expenses” requested by this “Department”. If this means the “Department” will rescind the present order for child support, so be it. Do your investigation. The investigation is meant to punish, disenfranchise and put one at a disadvantage.

The “deadbeat dad” is violating the present “Court” order. The public should be made aware of how this “Department” operates. The public should know how the “Office of the Governor” allows its “Departments” to punish, oppress and disenfranchise its constituents. Then the public can make a better, informed decision at the voting poles.

December 14, 2005 – Illinois State Representative David Miller responds to my South Holland Illinois complaint

I received a letter from Illinois State Representative David Miller on December 15, 2005. I will post his response. I am re-reading Mr. Miller response. I am trying to make sense of it. It appears as if he is telling me he only addresses issues that are at the State level. If this is true, I am wondering why and how he has influence with various programs he has sponsored or supported at my child’s school, which McKinley School in South Holland, Illinois. Mr. David Miller is very active in our community, supporting some very good programs. My concern is why can’t he address my issues, which are so blatant with oppression and discrimination. I guess you, my audience, can assist me in understanding his position.

Mr. David Miller responds with the following language:

December 14, 2005

Fred L. Nance

Dear Mr. Nance:

My District Office is in receipt of your correspondence regarding issues you have with the Village of South Holland. We have been in contact with the Village regarding your complaints; however please know that the office of State Representative really does not have any authority or jurisdiction in local municipal government matters. Our sphere of influence mainly lies within the state level of government.

I thank you for your informative letters, and I appreciate you taking the time to voice your concerns. We will continue to make inquiries on your behalf.

Sincerely,

David E. Miller
State Representative
29th District

December 5, 2005 – Illinois Secretary of State Responds to my South Holland Complaint

On December 5, 2005, Mr. Jesse White, Illinois Secretary of State, called me personally to discuss the issues of my letter dated November 20, 2005. He asked if any of my State Representatives has contacted me about my issues. I informed him only Senator Barack Obama’s office has contacted me. Mr.

White requested I put his name down on that list. Please note: Mr. Jesse White operates his office with integrity and honesty. Mr. White reported he knew Mayor DeGraff of the Village of South Holland well. He stated it was not like Mayor DeGraff not to contact me. I informed Mr. White that I have been writing Mayor DeGraff about my issues with the Village of South Holland for the last 4 years, and I have not heard a word from him.

Mr. White had one of his representatives explain to me I had no obligation to display a sticker on my windshield or license plate if my car is not operational, not parked on a city/village street, and if the State, City, and Local governments are informed the car is not drivable. Mr. White asked about my water bill. I informed him I sent a check/paid $36.73 as previously scheduled by my family on December 3, 2005. Mr. White stated, “that should bring you to your current bill of $33.68. “

I informed him of the problem, which is I should have not received “bright red” Water Shut-off Notice about my water bill. I informed Mr. White I usually receive a little white card with the past due amount and the current amount. I informed Mr. White the Village of South Holland sending me this “bright red” notice was indifferent treatment.

Mr. White stated, “if you pay the bill on December 20, 2005, this should make the problem go away.” I informed Mr. White I should not be threaten with a “Water Shut-off Notice” on December 1, 2005 because I don’t pay my current bill, which is not due until December 20, 2005.

I thanked Mr. White for returning my call, discussing my issues, and clarifying whether I needed a sticker on my windshield. Mr. White is a gentleman one should respect and admire. He operates his office with integrity and honesty.

My wife decided to pay the “current” bill, which is not due until December 20, 2005, because she is afraid the Village of South Holland, Illinois will cut off our water. This intimidation, harassment, and discriminatory practice of the Village of South Holland Illinois cannot be tolerated. Regarding litigation, harm has been done. No other resident of South Holland Illinois receives “water shut-off notice” about a current bill. We paid $36.73 on December 3, 2005 and $33.68 on December 12, 2005.

We moved to the Village of South Holland Illinois on October 1, 2001. If we ever had a past due balance with a current balance coming due, we received notice of the amount on a little white card, as it is the normal form of invoice for payment. I have many invoices for proof of how we are billed for our water bill account. The actual “water” bill that was “past” due is $18.06. We do not know what the actual “water” bill is that is due on December 20, 2005 because we did not receive a “normal” water bill invoice. The “water” bill account consists of sewer cost and garbage pick up, which garbage pick up cost usually matches the cost of the “actual” bill cost.

Re: South Holland’s Harassment, Retaliation, and Discrimination: Here we go again

Mr. DeGraff:

Do you know what your departments are doing? Does the Village of South Holland believe they can keep on harassing, intimidating, and discriminating against my family and me? I will seek legal counsel to sue the Village of South Holland. The Village of South Holland is not demanding every citizen living in South Holland to be subject to this type of madness. This is intentional discrimination, harassment, and intimidation.

On December 2, 2005, I received “a bright red letter” stating, “Water Shut-off Notice” from the Village of South Holland. It reports I have a past due balance of $36.73, and a current balance of $33.68. The notice states, in part, “If the Total Now Due is not paid in full by the 20th of the month, your water service will be automatically suspended within 48 hours without further notice.” Sir, the current balance of $33.68 is not due until December 20, 2005, yet your letter infers we owe this balance now. How can the Village of South Holland make a statement as “Total Now Due” when it is not due until December 20, 2005? The Village of South Holland is bogus.

The Village of South Holland reports my past due balance of $36.73 is from October 21, 2005 to November 20, 2005. The Village of South Holland reports my current balance is $33.68. This $33.68 must cover the period of November 21, 2005 to December 20, 2005. The Village of South Holland has determined my family deserves a “Water Shut-off Notice” because of the above. I am sure everyone living in South Holland with similar water bills has not received a “Water Shut-off Notice.” This “Water Shut-off Notice” is not signed. I guess the same coward who sent the bogus, harassing, and intimidating letter about my car sent this letter. This coward has the same statement, as before, that is “Our records indicate….”

The Village of South Holland has targeted my family for harassment, intimidation, and discrimination. My regular bill issued on November 1, 2005 reports a balance of $53.83 and $36.73 due on November 20, 2005. We sent a check to the Village of South Holland on October 25, 2005 in the amount of $53.83. This left a balance of $36.73. This balance is 12 days late as of the date of this letter. I have not received a “regular” statement of the current amount owed of $33.68, as stated in the “Water Shut-off Notice.” Instead of receiving a “regular” statement with the past due balance and the current balance due, the Village of South Holland decided to punish, discriminate, harass, and intimidate me for publishing and posting my complaints against on my website.

It is real clear what the Village of South Holland has done. They believe if they continue to harass, intimidate, threaten, and discriminate against me I will move. I am not going anywhere.

We will pay $36.73 as we had planned on or about December 3, 2005. We will have a balance of $33.68. We refuse to be harassed, intimidated, and discriminated against by the Village of South Holland. The Village of South Holland’s “Water Shut-off Notice” states, in part, “If a shut-off occurs, to get your water service turned back on you must pay the Total Amount Due shown above, plus the $75 Turn-On Fee.” The Village of South Holland should get ready to shut my water off for the amount due of $33.68 on December 20, 2005.

I have been writing my Illinois State Representatives for months, Mr. James Meeks and Mr. David Miller for years about the issues I face daily with the Village of South Holland. It appears none of my Illinois State Representatives has responded to the Village of South Holland or me. If a constituent cannot get assistance from their State Representatives then someone else needs to have their seat. I am not an isolated incident with the Village of South Holland or of my Illinois State Representatives non-actions. Even Mr. Jesse White, the Illinois Secretary of State (read my letter of November 15, 2005 about the Village of South Holland posted on my website), has not responded to my previous letter faxed to his office, which impacts his office directly.

I will continue to publish and post my complaints against the Village of South Holland alerting my Illinois State Representatives. I will continue to inform the general public of the non-actions of my Illinois State Representatives. Voters need to know how they can be ignored because they attempt to fight for their Constitutional rights and Human Right to be left alone.

This would not be happening if my Illinois State Representatives acted. Their non-actions fuel the fires of ignorance. People, Mississippi is burning.

The Village of South Holland is so petty. This is all they can find on me. There is nothing to find.

This is a breakdown of my “Water” bill. The Village of South Holland bills its residents after usage. The bill will always be for the previous month.

The Village of South Holland is outrageous. Future vendors and business people beware. The World should know how they operate.

November 20, 2005 – South Holland Illinois: Retaliatory, Nefarious and Wicked Administrative Practices

VOTERS!!! VOTERS!!!

As of December 1, 2005, I have not heard anything from any of our representatives about this issue. Beware Voters!!! This is not an isolated affair. It happens to us all, if we permit individuals to be in office who do not address our needs.

The Village of South Holland, Illinois, reports in their letter to me, “a recent check of our records…” (letter below). This statement by the Village of South Holland is a lie. They make this statement “recent check of our records” as if it is random. It is retaliatory in nature because Senator Obama’s office is looking into my allegations and has probably contacted them. This is the same thing the “Village” said when they retaliated against me at another time. See my writing posted November 19, 2005 about the Village of South Holland’s “Department of Development, Planning….” It is clear what the Village of South Holland’s purpose is in attacking and attempting to cause trouble for my me and family. This is meant to harass and intimidate me and my family.

Do not believe this is an isolated incident. It can happen to you. Protest the administrative actions of South Holland Illinois and be persecuted. You should look at the character and behavior of this administration before you cast your vote. This administration is nothing less than another “Mafia.”

Gentlemen:

I, Fred Nance Jr., received a letter from the Village of South Holland on Saturday, November 19, 2005 dated November 15, 2005. It reports, according to your Village’s ordinance (Sec.10 Article IV), “every person residing within the Village or whose principal offices are within the Village, is required to purchase and display a Village license on all motor vehicles registered to that person and/or operated on any public street or highway in the Village.” This letter targets my 97 Mercury Tracer, license plate PHBR17.

There was no name attached to this letter. I wonder what coward would write something and not put their name on it. Nevertheless, your office is retaliating against me for my writings against the nefarious and wicked administration of the Village of South Holland. The person who wrote this letter will probably report they are doing their job. If they were doing their job, they would have investigated and researched the matter before targeting me for their retaliation. This form of retaliation will not stop my efforts in alerting the community, my Illinois State Representatives, and our social world of the corrupt nature of the Village of South Holland.

If the person who authored this letter would have done his research, he would have found the 97 Mercury Tracer was involved in an accident in August of 2004 in Posen Illinois and was totaled. An accident report was filled out and forwarded to Springfield, Illinois, our Capitol. The car only had liability insurance coverage. The repairs to the vehicle are tremendous. There is no money in the coffer to pay for such an expense.

Nevertheless, sending this threatening letter to me is ridiculous and nefarious. It is clear to me it is retaliation for my writings about the despicable character and behavior of the Village of South Holland. The Mercury Tracer is not parked on any South Holland street. It is not parked on any Illinois street. It is not drivable.

Therefore, I will publish and post this comment this writing on my website at: http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/. I will also type below, verbatim, the letter I received from the Village of South Holland’s “ghost.”

Dear FRED NANCE JR:

Village ordinance (Sec. 10 Article IV) requires that every person residing within the Village or whose principal offices are within the Village, is required to purchase and display a Village license on all motor vehicles registered to that person and/or operated on any public street or highway in the Village.

A recent check of our records indicates that you are the owner of a(n) 97 MERCURY TRACER with Illinois license PHBR17 registered at 17239 EVANS for which a 2005 Village of South Holland sticker has not been purchased.

Accordingly, you are hereby notified that you must purchase and display a sticker for the above referenced vehicle within 10 days, NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2005. If you purchase the sticker by November 25, 2005, your name will not be forwarded to the Police Department for further action. If not, a ticket may be issued by the SOUTH HOLLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT which could lead to fines, court costs, and the loss of our driver’s license. Please be advised however, that you are currently in violation of the Village ordinance and may still receive a ticket until you purchase and display a valid vehicle sticker.

If you no longer own this vehicle, own another vehicle that has taken its place, or feel any of the information provided is incorrect, please call the Collector’s Office at 210-2900 so we can update our records.

Please be advised that late fees will be applied to the purchase of this sticker as provided for in the Village ordinance.

The vehicle sticker may be purchased at the Collector’s office in the Village Hall at 16226 Wausau Avenue. The office is open from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Monday thru Friday, and from 8:00 A.M. to Noon on Saturday. The phone number at the Village Hall is 210-2900 if you have any questions.

Re: Village of South Holland Department of Planning, Development, & Code Enforcement

Senator:

I, Fred L Nance Jr., have written you, U.S. Representative Jesse L. Jackson Jr., Senator Barack Obama, and Illinois State Representative David Miller on many occasions about how South Holland racially profiles and discriminates against its African American population. Most recently I wrote a letter to you, copying Senator Obama, Mayor DeGraff, Mr. Knittle, and Mr. Millsaps dated August 10, 2005, reporting how South Holland’s Public Works department facilitated the paving of our streets restricting parking to its residents by “police order.” Because you and other State Representatives have not responded to my needs as one of your constituents, retaliation and discrimination has taken place against me. Frank Knittle directs South Holland’s Department of Planning, Development, & Code Enforcement and Public Works.

On August 25, 2005 I received an Inspection and Repair Notice from the Village of South Holland’s Department of Planning, Development, & Code Enforcement stating an inspection was made on August 23, 2005 of my residence. The supposed violation is about cutting my grass, prepare and paint the house trim, and repair to my shed. I will send the Inspection and Repair Notice by separate fax to everyone except to the people who sent it.

On August 26, 2005 at approximately 8:00 am, I went to my Attorney’s home and presented this issue. He stated it appears to be “Selective Enforcement”, which he says is a form of discrimination. I know you may be thinking if I have an attorney why am I alerting you or requesting your assistance. I am requesting your assistance because you, David Miller, Jesse Jackson Jr., and Senator Obama are my “elected” Illinois State and United State Representatives. You should know how the Village of South Holland operates, which is in your perspective Districts.

If an entity, such as the Village of South Holland operates with racial profiling, discrimination, and retaliation the Government of Illinois should restrict, if not prohibit, State and Federal funding on projects and other resources for this entity.

On August 26, 2005, at approximately 8:30 am, I met with Reginald Johnson, Virgil Jordan, and Frank E. Knittle of the South Holland Planning, Development, and Code Enforcement Department. I informed them that on August 23, 2005, the day of the inspection, I was home all day. I informed them that the Code Enforcement Officer, James Bruinsma, did not knock on my door or ring my bell before inspecting or examining my property. I told them I never saw this gentleman on my property. I informed them that the “repairs” mentioned in the Inspection Report were erroneous. I informed them I had cut my grass on August 24, 2005 as I usually do, which happens to a day before I received their notice. I informed them that it was my belief I was retaliated against because I wrote the letter on August 10, 2005. I informed them that it was my belief they are racially profiling me. I requested information on who ordered the inspection.

Mr. Knittle informed me he does not know his Inspectors’ route at any given time. He reports there is nothing in place for the inspectors’ to log out or in or give whereabouts at any given time. Mr. Knittle informed me that his Inspector’s “drive up and down the streets” looking at properties. I informed Mr. Knittle that if Inspector James Bruinsma “drove up and down my street” he could not have seen the grass in my backyard, which he reports was a violation of the South Holland Code. I informed Mr. Knittle that if Inspector James Bruinsma “drove up and down my street” he could not have seen or known my shed needed some minor repairs. I informed Mr. Knittle my front lawn was not an issue with Inspector Bruinsma. I informed Mr. Knittle looking at my house “driving up and down the street” would not make the “average” person believe my house had code violations. I informed Mr. Knittle that someone from his office purposely, maliciously, and nefariously sent an Inspector to my home to investigate for “possible” code violations in response to my letter dated August 10, 2005. I was told that maybe one of my neighbors called in complaining about my property. Now, the South Holland Planning, Development, and Code Enforcement managers want me to look at my neighbors and maybe start a fight with them for supposedly “reporting” me to them. The Planning Department stated to my wife, after I visited with them, that a neighbor reported I needed repairs to my property. I told my wife to not concern herself with this statement because the Planning Department is trying to shift the weight to our neighbors.

I asked Mr. Knittle if Mr. Bruinsma took pictures of his allegations. Mr. Knittle informed me that he did not know. I would think the supervisor of such an operation would know how his employees operate and their ethical behavior while on duty. The funding they get for this program should be severely restricted.

Regarding the letter dated August 10, 2005, Mr. Knittle informed me that the South Holland Police Department did not post the signs I complained about. Mr. Knittle reports the Contractors repairing the streets created and posted the signs illustrated on our streets stating, “No Parking 6:00 AM to 6 PM Monday thru Saturday by Police Order.” These signs were not by police order but by “Contractor” order. This is appalling that the Village of South Holland would allow companies they contract with to have such unethical practices, but it appears to mirror the practice of the Village of South Holland, therefore, it is okay. The Chief of Police for South Holland never responded to my letter. Therefore, he endorsed the behavior and character of the contractors.

I have requested Mr. Knittle conduct unbiased and unprejudicial inspection of my property if they deemed it appropriate after this type of retaliation. I informed him that the erroneous Inspection and Repair notice given by Inspector Bruinsma will not be satisfied. I informed Mr. Knittle that litigation may be pending for South Holland’s “Selective Enforcement” of Inspection and Repair Notices to its residents.

I have much more to say on this issue but I wish to report it in a personal interview with one of you, my State Representatives, or with Pam Oliver of NBC/WMAQ. If the issues I have presented to you guys in the last 3 years about the Village of South Holland is not addressed, as you would address and “publicize” your own issues, then retaliation for your constituents will continue and despotism will flourish.

This is not an isolated incident. The Department of Planning, Development, and Code Enforcement Managers’ report to me of having Code violations on more than 165 residents of South Holland last month (July 2005). Are they raking the money in for the Village of South Holland or what?

More importantly, what are you guys going to do? I am calling for all that I copy this letter too, to act of behalf of justice and fairness. Are your constituents supposed to sit on their hands at the hand of oppression? What about the Senior Citizens? They are part of this scheme. The Senior Citizens are being impacted by this notorious regime. Again, What are you going to do? You have my address and phone number. I will place this issue on the Internet, along with alerting Pam Oliver of NBC/WMAQ.

Re: Chicago, Posen, and South Holland Police Departments & Draco Academy

Senator Meeks:

On August 19, 2005, I sent the following letter, via fax, to Superintendent Philip Cline in contest to your allegations of Chicago Police Department alleged “racial profiling” incident (attached). As stated in my letter to Mr. Cline, “I am not challenging his assertion of these charges. What I am challenging is his demand for the Chicago Police Department to address his issues and the publicity he attaches to it.” I sent Mr. Cline 47 pages describing the conflict I am having with the South Holland and Posen Police Departments, which I sent to you, Mr. David Miller, and Mr. Jesse L. Jackson Jr.

In addition, on August 19, 2005, I personally delivered to Mayor Daley’s office a copy of a response letter I received from U.S. House of Representative Jesse L. Jackson Jr. dated September 15, 2004. This letter from Mr. Jackson is in response to my issues with the South Holland and Posen Police Departments and the flyer from Draco Academy of Martial Arts (located in Homewood, Illinois as his office) depicting a black man with a knife holding a white lady by her head, with a “white” family and logo stating “Protect your most valuable assets”, which I sent to you and Mr. David Miller.

On August 11, 2005, I faxed a letter Attorney Lester Barclay, David Miller, and Donna Miller (attached). This correspondence reports I received a letter from the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission giving me a “right to sue” Christian Community Health Center (CCHC). Attorney Lester Barclay is the Chairperson on the Board of Directors for Christian Community Health Center. Ms. Donna Miller is on the Board also. Mr. David Miller is Illinois House Representative for the 29th District. I live in the 29th District of Illinois. I informed these individuals that Mr. Virgil Tolbert, Executive Director of CCHC, refused to give me information on their company’s attorney so that I can make service on them of my Federal Civil Complaint for my alleged violations of Title VII, ADEA, and 42 U.S.C. 1983 issues. Neither of these individuals has contacted me as you have not contacted me about the issues I wrote to you about the South Holland and Posen Police Departments.

Sir, Robert M. LaFollette, Sr. an American Political & Reform Leader once stated, “let no man think that we can deny civil liberty to others and retain it for ourselves.” As I told Mr. Cline, the public needs to know what you guys really do for your constituents.

Respectfully submitted,

Re: Senator James Meeks and the Chicago Police Department

Mr. Cline:

I, Fred L Nance Jr., am writing this letter regarding Senator James Meeks and the incident he reports to the Chicago Police Department. Senator Meeks suggests he was discriminated against and suffered indifferent treatment (racial profiling). I am not challenging his assertion of these charges. What I am challenging is his demand for the Chicago Police Department to address his issues and the publicity he attaches to it. This is appalling to me.

I live in his Senatorial District. I have sent letters and corresponded with his office on discrimination and being treated indifferently by the South Holland Police Department (letters attached). Senator Meeks has not once called me or held a media conference on my issues. You have afforded Senator Meeks personal interviews and media coverage of his issues. It appears, on its face, Senator Meeks is getting the attention he receives because he is a Senator addressing “black” issues. I am black. I am one of his constituents. Senator Meeks should be attending to what is happening in his own backyard before he protest and complain of issues concerning him.

Like Senator Meeks, my family has suffered as my letters purport. Does the media know Senator Meeks does not address similar issues complained of from his constituents? My first letter to Senator Meeks was on April 23, 2004. Along with the letters addressed and copied to him, I sent him earlier letters addressed to various entities of the Village of South Holland (attached). In November 2004, I visited his Springfield, Illinois Office and spoke to his Administrative Assistant, Ms. Sherry L. Williams, about the letters I sent to him. His Administrative Assistant stated she would give Senator Meeks my personal message and report to him I visited his office in Springfield regarding my issues. I have not heard from Senator Meeks or his office regarding my issues.

Why should Senator Meeks’ issues be addressed and not his constituents? I need him to afford me what you afforded him, a complete and thorough investigation of my issues. I need Senator Meeks to contact me regarding my issues and explain to me why in 16 months I have not heard anything from him. Maybe you can tell him about this letter. I spoke to Ms. Ella from your office. I told her the information was lengthy. She said OK.

Re: Christian Community Health Center Litigation

Mr. Barclay:

I, Fred Nance Jr., am writing because you are listed as the Board President for Christian Community Health Center (CCHC). I have filed charges with EEOC against CCHC. I have received my letter from EEOC giving me the right to sue. I am pursuing that right.

On August 11, 2005, I emailed Ms. Kenya Garrett who some time ago sent me an email stating that any correspondence I wish to have with any employee of CCHC must come through her as their legal representative. On August 11, 2005, I asked Ms. Garrett was she the legal representative to receive service of summons and the complaint filed. Ms. Garrett informed me, through email, she could receive service for any employee. Ms. Garrett did not provide me with CCHC’s legal representative.

Therefore, I emailed Mr. Virgil Tolbert, the Executive Director, requesting this information. Mr. Tolbert emailed me back stating he could not talk to me because we are in litigation.

I thought I would present the question to you, the Board President of CCHC. Who is the legal representative to receive service of summons and complaint in my cause of action? Please contact me with the information using the phone numbers below or by mail. I should not be refused this information from CCHC’s representatives.

Thank you.
