Okay okay.. this might be a bit of a stretch, especially for the crowd around here and the love that "tinfoil hat" stuff gets, but bear with me.
I'm writing in response to this diary, posted by a fellow Rhode Islander today. Follow me over the break; I promise I'm not going to write a double-posted wall of text!
Okay everyone.. take a breath. Lori, that includes you.
Ahh.. that felt good. Let get back to your situation.
Now I know people might freak out at me for recommending Lori's diary. It was obviously a cut-and-paste from one of the other postings this story has on other blogs like TalkLeft, DU, Obama's website and several different livejournal-type sites.
Hear me out for a second - since I'm a Rhode Islander I decided to check out some of the information the diarist put forward (names of officials, the court case numbers and dates, etc.) and everything checks out. This combined with Governor Carcieri's blatant racism against anyone with even off-white skin, has led me to take the next step.
Lori, from what I've read in your postings you've been pursuing this matter for over 10 years. You've been wound up and disappointed by the legal system over and over again, and that includes the SCOTUS which didn't even hear your case in 2003. You've been trying to get someone to listen for a very long time. It grates on your sanity, and I know you're not nuts you're just really tired of the BS. I know - I've been there a few times.
So I'm going to try something, and spend my good deed of the day on a hunch. I have a few contacts in local news outlets. Freelancers mostly, but good people with sharp pencils who aren't afraid to push buttons. I've emailed them links to your livejournals, your court case dockets, and so on. I can't promise this will lead all the way to the resolution you're looking for (we Kossacks been busting our ass to get Bush thrown out now for over five years, and damned if the bastard isn't still in office! As for Carcieri... ugh), but it's better than nothing if it brings some public attention to your situation.
My best wishes go out to you and your family. If you ever have the need to chat, drop me an email - it's in my user profile.
