NOTE: Here is the November Newsletter from Sherry Peel Jackson, which I post with Sherry's permission.  I find Sherry's insights to be brilliant in their simplicity, their sincerity and in the profound truths she expresses about what she believes.

If only more people "believed" in this way, our country could be restored to the principles of our Founders. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Aside from that, only three more words in response to "What Do You Believe?"

Amen and amen!

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.”

— Alexander Hamilton.

One of the most tragic occurrences that I have observed over the last decade is that the American people, due to lack of a sound belief system, have lost their way. Our teachers no longer teach right or wrong.

http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/atlantas-testing-scandal-adds-1007201.html

Our leaders smile in our faces and steal from us behind our backs and now, right in our faces

And parents don’t instruct their children in the basic tenants of being decent human beings.

http://www.empoweringparents.com/Child-Verbal-Abuse-and-Threats.php#

The lack of sound ethical and moral values has led to the breakdown of the Number One Unit in the world – the family. The family is the foundation and the backbone of any civilization.  However, it has fallen by the wayside with an inundation of unwed mothers, high divorce rates, illiteracy skyrocketing, financial stability disappearing and general godlessness. When it comes to the fabric of the U.S. we have hit rock bottom and started to dig.

Scripture asks, in Psalm 11:3, “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

The answer is pray and rebuild. We need to pray without ceasing.  II Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

The other thing we must do is rebuild. Rebuilding, I have found, starts with the face in the mirror. We must ask ourselves the hard questions. Am I contributing to the problem or the solution with my lifestyle? Am I a good role model for others to follow or am I exhibiting behaviors that help breakdown the fabric of the family? Am I teaching my children to be ethical and moral or is the television teaching them?

We must then look at those in our household. Are we operating as a unit or is each person in their own room watching television or playing video games? Do we have family dinner together or at least talk for more than five minutes a day? Do I as a parent impart good morals and values to my children – do I practice what I preach? Am I home being a parent or am I out pursuing my own goals?

Next, we must look at our communities. Do we talk with our neighbors? Do we go to church and fellowship with others? Do we exhibit a spirit of excellence on or jobs? Are we involved in community efforts to improve our county, city, state?

One of the things I took a great amount of time doing was figuring out what I believe. My belief system is part of my worldview, part of who I am and who I reflect to others. It is important for us to know what we believe. I have asked several people over the years what they believe about various subjects such as religion, politics, child rearing, earning a living and world events.

Many of these people had no clue what they believed, although they were able to parrot what the evening news anchor said about some of the subjects. This is sad and needs to change. I have written up some of my beliefs. These are the beliefs that make me who I am. These are some of the beliefs that kept me through three years of prison. These are the beliefs that will keep me throughout my life.

I Believe In:

Limited Government
Personal Responsibility
Fiscal Responsibility
Free Speech
Marriage Between One Man And One Woman
Secure Boarders
Private Education
Unfettered Free Enterprise
Punishment For “Real Thieves”
Limited Terms Of Office
Honoring The Rule Of Law
Truth In Taxation
Entrepreneurship
A Strong Defense
Withdrawal From Unconstitutional Wars
Minding Our Own Business
Reading, Writing & Arithmetic
Homeschooling
Authentic Christianity
Unencumbered Property Ownership
Unalienable God Given Rights
Life at Conception
Virginity in Singleness
Charity
Love & Compassion
Liberty
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior

You have beliefs. Write them, review them, defend them, teach them, and convey them. We can rebuild from the inside out when we have a foundation to stand on. Let’s stop being wishy washy and take a stand. Don’t be afraid. Everyone won’t agree with you, but that’s what makes us great. We can agree to disagree, but at least you will be moving forward to a better self and a better nation. Go ahead; let me see what you can do!

Make an effort to improve yourself by spending time thinking about what you want from life from this day forward. It starts with your belief system. Turn off the television and the video games. Sit down with your family and close friends and discuss ways to improve, rebuild.

Talk with co-workers, church members and neighbors and devise plans to start businesses, cooperatives, study groups, organic farms, disaster survival plans, and home schools. With each family, then community, committing to the effort, we can get our country to the point of integrity, sustainability and prosperity. It starts with you, not the people over there! Do it now!

“You cannot correct what you are unwilling to confront. What you permit will always continue. Behavior permitted is behavior perpetuated.” 

— Mike Murdock

It's National Animal Shelter (and Rescue!) Appreciation Week!

 

 

 

 

This notice, and accompanying video, come from The Humane Society of the United States.

For many years, I have been an advocate and activist not only for human rights, but also for animal rights. I've been involved in animal rescue and rehabilitation (both wildlife and domestic animals). Helping animals is one of my passions!

 

One of the most heartbreaking things for me is to know that there are millions of animals who have been abandoned and/or mistreated, who end up homeless, languishing in shelters, and in many cases "euthanized" simply because there isn't enough room. This doesn't happen in "no-kill" shelters, but still, a cage in a shelter is no substitute for a real home.

 

Irresponsible and callous people fail to spay and neuter their animals and the puppies and kittens end up homeless, either dumped off at a shelter, or roaming the streets, with only a few of the more fortunate ones eventually being  adopted into a secure and loving home.

 

Please watch the video from HSUS and consider adopting an animal.

Telephone Harassment by CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 800*463*9293

CALL 1*800*SCUMBAG


This morning I received yet another harassing telephone call from this number: 800-463-9293, which belongs to a collection agency called Capital Management.

The aggressors making these calls have been disturbing my peace and invading my privacy for many months. They never left a message on the machine, never identified themselves, just kept calling, day in and day out.

Not recognizing the number as an authorized caller, I ignored the first few calls, months ago, and just didn't pick up the phone. When the calls continued, I checked the number on my caller ID, and I called back.  I stated that someone from this number was making unauthorized, unwanted calls to a PRIVATE UNLISTED number and issued a very clear directive for them to STOP calling.

The woman who answered my call asked me for my name. I told her that my name was none of her business and made it clear to her that whoever they were, they had no business with me; that the calls were harassment and must stop immediately. You have the WRONG NUMBER.

"But you don't even know who we're calling for!", she said.  That's right, I told her. I don't know and what's more, I don't care who you are calling for.  In fact, I don't give a tinker's damn you you are calling for!  

The ONLY issue is that you people have NO BUSINESS with me, whose PRIVATE UNLISTED number you keep calling, and I am directing you to stop  the  harassing calls.  I then told her, I am going to hang up now, this conversation is terminated, and don't call this number again. Unbelievably, she said, "Well, I'll just try back tomorrow".  I repeated: DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER EVER AGAIN, and I ended the call. 

Un-f---ing believable! What the hell!

The harassing calls continued.  At the times I was in the room where the answering machine is, when I saw the number come up on the caller ID  (800-463-9293), I picked up the phone, just hit the answer button and then immediately clicked off, ending the call, nipping these bastards in the bud.  Other times, I would come home and see the number on the call log, but the harassers never left a message.

Today, at just after 8AM, my peaceful morning was disrupted by another harassing call. The machine was off, but I saw the number of these scumbags on the caller ID.  So (once again) I called back.  A woman answered the phone, with "Hello".  I stated (once again) that I continue to receive harassing calls from this number, despite the fact that I had directed them to stop.  I told her (once again) that whoever you are, you are making harassing calls to a PRIVATE UNLISTED number, to a person who has NO BUSINESS with you. You have the WRONG NUMBER.

The woman then said that she would hang up if I "kept yelling" at her. Now, I was at the blood-boiling point. Listen, you moron, STOP HARASSING ME. NOW. Do not call this number ever again. You have no right to harass me and you have NO BUSINESS with me!

The idiot then hung up the phone. So I called back. This time, she answered, "Capital Management", in a chirpy idiotic secretary's voice.  So that's who you are, I said. Capital Management. Now at least I know WHO is making these harassing calls. She then said, "If you keep screaming at me, and being abusive, I'll just hang up again, but I'll need your telephone number so I can take it off the list ."

You idiot! Abusive? You haven't seen abusive, you low grade moron.  You people are the ones harassing me, and you have a hell of a nerve to tell me that you will hang up the phone, when all I am trying to do is get you off my case and stop the harassment!

I gave the moron the telephone number, and said TAKE THIS NUMBER OFF YOUR DAMN LIST!   I told her that if I receive even one more harassing call after today I will report it to the police as  continuing harassment.

"Ma'am, Ma'am, wait... I need to get your name..." she whined.  No, you won't be getting any such thing. You have the number, now take it OFF your damn list. NOW. And I hung up the phone.

Who the hell do these scumbags think they are?

I looked them up online, along with their telephone number. I found out that they are a company called Capital Management.

Then I looked up their website:

First thing, as soon as I got onto the website, I was accosted by some loud obnoxious "music", so I shut off the sound.

Here's a sample of the smarmy stupidity touted by Capital Management.

SECURING YOUR RECEIVABLES

THE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT WAY

In my online search (surprise, surprise!) I found that I was only one among many people being harassed by these collection agency scumbags. In fact, they are notorious for their harassment tactics.

Here is just one testimonial.

RIP OFF REPORT

http://www.ripoffreport.com/collection-agency-s/capital-management-s/capital-management-services-l-yy734.htm

Capital Management Services L.P. Harrassment of an individual the company knows is not the debtor in question Buffalo New York

In 2006, this company contacted me regarding a debt that was not mine. They used intimidation and threatening phone messages about my credit in an effort to obtain a return call.

I was finally able to speak with a supervisor. I was assured this situation was a mistake. My name and contact information would be documented so I would not receive a call again.

At that time, I gave the supervisor all information related to the debtor in question. This included the false use of my name on a credit application and the use of his social security information to avoid idenity theft. I even gave them the last known state and city location.

On December 17, 2007, I received a phone call from a Mr. Forke from Capital Management regarding my credit with Chase Bank. When I returned the call, Capital Management, of course, had the wrong individual again. I was told that this situation should not be upsetting if I do not have credit issues.

They also identified themselves as working for Chase Bank as a representative of the company. I asked specifically if Capital management purchased the debt or was working in conjunction with Chase. I was told Capital Management was working with Chase.

I contacted Chase to resolve the matter with them as I am a credit card member. I was told that Capital Management has no affiliation what so ever with Chase.

It appears that Capital Management uses misrepresentation as another harassment technique.

On Friday, December 21, I received a voice mail at my place of employment from the very same Mr. Forke.

It is obvious that Capital Management has assigned this debt to an agent again. It is also clear that any past documentation associated with the situation has been removed.

Being a very complex individual, the agent went to the internet and found my name and phone numbers. Clearly a genius at work.

Capital Management does not care who they harass.

Capital Management does not document any information that could help them locate the correct debtor.

Capital Management simply uses any and every available resource and harrasses every person with the same name along the way.

I understand that debtors need to be held accountable.

However, Capital Management must also be held accountable for unscrupulous tactics.

PERSONAL MESSAGE TO THE SCUMBAGS AT CAPITAL HARASSMENT

Attention All Scumbags, Usurers & Scavengers:

Your minion, the aggressive busybody I spoke to on the phone today, wanted my name. Well, now you have it, but not in the way you hoped for.  And I assure you, you'll be sorry you ever heard of it.

Capital Management has absolutely NO BUSINESS with Barbara Hartwell. Got that?

I have no dealings with usurers, scavengers and scumbags, and especially those who extort their blood money by working for --or using the services of-- a collection agency.

Your aggressive collection of "receivables", as you scavengers call them, by tactics of harassment, deception, invasions of privacy, threats and coercion,  have absolutely nothing to do with me.

You have no business attempting to extract information from me; no business harassing me at my PRIVATE UNLISTED telephone number; no business whatsoever in any way, shape or form, with me.

I do not owe you anything. I have no dealings with Chase Bank (apparently your primary client) or for that matter any bank. I do not use credit cards.  I have no "credit rating" because I do not use credit. Nor do I ever contract for the purchase of goods or services which I cannot pay for.  And that is the ONLY information you will ever get from me. It is information I have already made public for many years on this website, so I don't care who knows it.  I advise you to take it seriously, though, because I will not tolerate your continuing  harassment.

I was outraged, reading some of the many complaints about you in the reports all over the Internet, exposing you for the busybodies, liars, swindlers and scamsters you are.

My next step will be to track down your names and expose them as well. I will also file formal complaints with the Attorney General in the states of New York and Maine.

And, just for good measure, I will report your company, Capital Management, to the local police for harassment, which at least will stop the aggressive harassing calls.

You have been warned. You have now been directed in this public statement to STOP THE HARASSMENT OF BARBARA HARTWELL.

I state for the public record that I encourage anyone reading this who has also been a target of your malicious harassment and invasions of privacy to make a formal complaint against you; to document and publish their testimony against you.

And know this: You lowlife scavengers haven't heard the last from me. You can take that to the bank.
