The E-Accountability Foundation announces the
'A for Accountability' Award
to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.
Winners of the "A":
Johnnie Mae Allen
Dee Alpert
Hipolito Colon
Larry Fisher
Bernard Gassaway
The Giraffe Project and Giraffe Heroes' Program
Karen Horwitz and Darlene Goodman
Jimmy Kilpatrick and George Scott

The E-Accountability Foundation announces the
'F for Fraud' Award
Fraud comes in many shapes and sizes, and we often do not recognize it or the trickster until the consequences of the deceit begin to hurt us or those we love, know, or hear about in the media. Fraudulent actions are always costly, however, and we must remain vigilant in the global effort to stop these practices whenever and wherever they occur. We celebrate the exposure of those people who greedily go after money or glory rather than work hard for a fair wage in a moral and ethical manner by giving them an "F".
Winners of the 2004 F For Fraud Award:
The Belmont Learning Center (Los Angeles)
Teen Boot Camps (International)
The Drug/Insurance/Government Testing and Screening Coalition

We celebrate the alliance of the Internet with the awareness that for too many years people elected to publicly-funded positions have promoted policies that do not serve the public interest. We challenge those who believe they can continue to violate the public trust to stop and listen to the buzz of millions of people visiting websites, emailing each other, blogging and chatting online about what is going on behind closed doors. We promise to hold you responsible for your actions.
We call this process "e-accountability".

By Bonnie Brower and Rachel Hays, A City Project Policy Paper written in April 2006. This report was researched and written by Bonnie Brower, Executive Director of City Project, and Rachel Hays, Associate Director. The bulk of the data pertaining to the Fiscal Year 2005 status of properties owned by not-for-profit educational institutions was obtained and provided by the New York City Independent Budget Office (IBO) at City Project’s request. This report would not have been possible without this data, or without the generous additional assistance given by George Sweeting, IBO Deputy Director. We are also indebted to the efforts of the staff of State Senator Liz Krueger, particularly Chief of Staff Brad Usher, for their work in accessing and providing to us all manner of relevant state legislative and gubernatorial archival material. Staff of the New York City Department of Finance was also helpful in providing answers to specific questions about the department’s record keeping. Funding support for this report was generously provided by the Valentine Perry Snyder Fund, the North Star Fund, the Fund for the City of New York, and the New York Community Trust, as well as many organizational and individual supporters of City Project. City Project alone is fully responsible for the analyses, conclusions and recommendations contained in this report.

In a letter to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, Lynch alleged that Chief Bankruptcy Judge Eugene R. Wedoff blocked his subpoenas for the financial records of two bankruptcy trustees in on the scheme and refused to read an affidavit signed by a federal agent documenting Wedoff’s participation, including a pure trust called “ERW” that was allegedly used to hide payoffs from federal authorities.
He also accused Judge Wedoff of allowing GECC and Alcoa to disregard ERISA and bankruptcy laws by dumping McCook’s pension obligations on the taxpayer-supported Pension Benefit Guaranty Board (PBGC).
But none of these extremely serious allegations of judicial misconduct have been investigated by the either the FBI or the Justice Department, even though Lynch says he handed over the evidence to authorities four years ago. Instead, the same judge he accused of corruption is sending him back to jail.

Scott J. Bloch pleaded guilty in April to criminal contempt of Congress. His sentencing, originally set for Tuesday, was rescheduled for Friday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson in Washington. Bloch admitted withholding information from House investigators about having private technicians "scrub" computer files at the Office of Special Counsel in December 2006.

From the New York Times: "The kids begged in the way that only 12-year-olds can, like drill bits spinning at 3,000 tireless revolutions a minute. The principal had promised a trip to the beach for the class that raised the most money in a walk-a-thon. And the sixth graders in the House of Einstein — their school, Columbia Secondary, groups students into houses — had tied for first." From Betsy Combier: thus started the exposure of a huge tax evasion scandal that will rock the books of all PA/PTA associations in the city of New York. Parent "Mary Brady" - anonymous by choice - has sent New York State Comptroller Tom Di Napoli and Parentadvocates' Editor Betsy Combier her amazing research into the setting up of 501 C 3 parent associations in New York City, Columbia Secondary School being one of them. The Principal and AP are both members on the Board of Directors of a 501 C 3 separate from the Parents Association for which the students raise money.

An investigation by Richard J. Condon, the city’s Special Commissioner of Investigation, found that officials at the school did a poor job planning the trip and failed to obtain the required parental consent forms. The teacher chaperoning the trip should have noticed a sign clearly indicating that the beach was closed to swimmers and that no lifeguards were on duty, according to a report on the investigation that was released Wednesday. The report also said that the teacher knew that several students on the trip could not swim, and revealed how close Nicole came to being saved. Editor Betsy Combier says that this points to the core problem of the NYC public school system: lack of accountability for politically appointed principals who do not consider the health, safety and welfare of the students - and staff - inside their buildings. Everyone is in danger.

The U.S. is not only violating international covenants in which they have been a signer. The state courts are now regularly violating U.S. law when it serves to advance the conservatorship. Due to what is termed the "probate exception," wherein probate matters are deemed best heard by the State courts, we find that the US Supreme Court has been refusing to hear these matters. Appeals to the United States Department of Justice, which have been launched by a number of parties who have been denied justice in conservatorship proceedings, are also been sloughed off. Over twenty complaints were recently sent into the Federal Trade Commission, which is mandated to investigate mail fraud. The complainants alleged that the FTC should look into their complaints as the use and misuse of U.S. mail was a fundamental part of the fraud being perpetrated by the conservators and their attorneys. The FTC did not respond to a single complaint.

The complaint alleged that Magistrate Carla Woehrle, US Judges Virginia Phillips and John Walter, Clerk of the Court Terri Nafisi, Pro Se Clerk Chris Sawyer, and Courtroom Assistant Donna Thomas conspired to conduct in the two cases litigations, which were never deemed by the US Court itself as honest, valid, and effectual court actions. Instead – they conducted pretense litigations.
