Exposing Corruption - Ten easy things to do !

December 29, 2010
As more and more information comes to light , our group wants to assist many locals in trying to make a better community and to help stomp out and expose local corruption. Here are 10 easy things to do:

1. Get a camera
a picture is worth a thousand words.....  it is legal to take pictures, just be aware people get truly WACKED out when you pull a camera out. I have a camera that puts date and time stamp if I want it, on each picture, This helps Identify later, when matching up to time periods, etc.

2. Get time, date, and  detailed information
get as much details including people places times and witnesses. information is the key word, and you have to use your slueth skills. you can be an old pen and paper guy, or be all digital with your smart-phone / digital cam ready at your finger tips. Either way, get details - people, places and times.

3. Notarize witness information
Goto a local notary and get your affidavits notarized. Lots of places provide free notary services like banks. Get all your witness statement notarized as soon as possible. These are priceless.

4. Search Online for Resources
More and more people use online resources, such as this site to educate and help others in a mass effort. Online resources like Google.com are free and extremely easy to use. These new resources could possibly be tracked so be safe and use a free online proxy.

5. Do NOT use third party information or hear-say
using information from ANY  third party or hear-say cant be used. Taking soemthing you heard and using
it as evidence is not a good or applicable policy. Searching for bad news is also a double edged sward, bringing
bad upon bad

6. Follow Through !
You have to keep at it and follow through. The corrupt ones have been organized and abusing the systems for decades. You have to be consistent and follow through. Effort alone will not win the battle.

7. Hire Lawyer - If possible
If you can afford it, hire a lawyer. Dealing with corruption is nasty business and can have retributions, including harassment, prosecution and trumped up charges, and abuse of local and state laws. get a lawyer on your project.

8. Make copies
make 2-3 copies of everything. Make sure you have backups of everything.
if you have film or media, make duplications and place at difference locations.


9. Seek second opinions
as in anything, get a second opinion on things, before jumping the gun. Seek a second opinions when possible. In this day and age information is bliss and a sounding board is always needed.

10. Publish your information to help others
the net is a great place for the people to actions. Publish your work in hopes to help others in your area get information they need to stomp out corruption.

their water towers, when the tower under review in Elgin Texas, had a
a main burst and empty the old lead based unit.

Upon a review of the water tower, its no wonder OSHA was so diligent

Lead? yes and lots of muck, that comes from years to a decades of settlement.

We want Elgin TX's complete wate...
