The Governor a good guy, getting bad advice from Little....I helped design the TN Government HIV education program a few years, Bredison...a nice guy,,.the other guy...kickbacks. That appears to be what he's all about. Getting ready to launch a new campaign to get the state of TN to do something about HIV and HEPC infections. Scarey stuff....Phil cares.

Good old George don't get me started on him..you have to remember he is part of the TNDOC system, so he is going to side with his good old boys regardless. Chances are you rarely deal with him you deal with his foot soldiers..nothing goes directly to him...always to someone else.

Phil on the other hand i have to give my props too, they at least acknowledge your phone calls, e-mails and letters.

Thank you, so i need a little firm attitued with Mr Little then,im not really fussed if they have anything to say to me or what they say, but knowing they do acknowledge your letters/email is good thats all i need

Another thing I thought of UKGAL always do letters or e-mails the system has a way of telling you one thing on the phone and than change it up on you and make you seem your losing your mind. So with letters and e-mails you cover your ass and have proof of what was said. I learned the hard way years ago with TNDOC , see i'm still old school and go by someone's word to me that is bond but to TNDOC their word aint SH*T...

Hi thank you papisgirl,
the reason im writting to the "important" people is because i plan to take my husbands case to the media, im so sick of this mess were just going round in circles, even if we got a new Judge n all that whos to say they aint friends and have the same justice morals as the old lot, ive been told that its dangerous to go to the media, we have talked about it many times but i feel now is the right time, im not as sacred as i once was just a good feeling, that it will turn out for the best, so my plan of action is to get all the "suspect abuse stuff" that ive seen in TN, i know there was a woman beaten in a jail who later died of internal injurys,
so if anyone has any links to TN abuse please pass it on,
then im going to write a letter about my husbands case and all the wrongs
and tell them im going to the media and our fears and that they better guarentee his safety, or words to that effect anyway,
im also sending letters to Obama and the warden of the prison,
once i have some responces, i will go to the media also telling them of our fears, then if God forbid anything should happen to my hubby, people will know the truth and hopefully something will be done i dont know??? but something should be, its about time people stood up, some are ignorant and just wont believe the justice stystem is messed up because they have never had to deal with it, some wont stand up because they believe nothing can be done or they fear abuse so we all fight our own little battles in silence being walked all over, yes my husband did wrong he does deserve to do time, but not that amount when others that did more got less time, they cant be allowed to do so much wrong, whats the point of having a justice system if its full of liars and bull crap,
if it all goes wrong then at least we would of tried, instead of just laying there like a door mat. people might sit up and pay attention to what is actually going on if someone stands up and shouts,
