Mass Incarceration and White Liberals

Thank you for educating me about the disproportionate impact of mass incarceration on Black men and thank you for challenging the Democratic Party to stop betraying all of us; however, please remember that White young men were killed registering voters and other "White Liberals" today continue to stand with Black Lives Matter in Minneapolis and share your outrage. We cannot afford to attack our allies and we cannot fail to educate the young about our historic shared battles together. Heard your powerful remarks and challenge on 11/17/15 Commonwealth Club "The Nation" panel discussion.

market viable net zero energy building.

http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4919-E-Haskell-St-Tulsa-OK-74115/22190537_zpid/ Tulsa city officials Tulsa Police and the law firm Brewster and DeAngelis have conspired to wrongfully convict an innocent person. city officials have violated federal law. Tulsa Police have fabricated evidence, obstructed justice, withheld evidence, forged documentation, unlawfully seized my property, falsified reports and have made reports which contradict the determination of other reports. Tulsa Police have received the court and edited emails to make it appear as though I was crazy and a mental health petition to the court. the Tulsa police being involved and fabrication of evidence relating to the false report to NCIC and resulting in my arrest for possession of stolen motor vehicle can be verified by corporal Steve Whittington 918-596-9165 who for some reason has not returned my property to me. I believe it's called continuing to subject me to corruption

I am being slaughtered by Tulsa Police city official and Brewster and DeAngelis corruption

Clint Patrick Foy... you can confirm with corporal detective Steve Whittington the Tulsa police in the only police report I've read fabricated evidence obstructing justice used stolen documentation that was voted by the state to falsely report to NCIC and falsely have me arrested for possession of my own Harley Davidson. not only that. someone stole the ballot title forged all of the information and documentation again and used it to transfer ownership out of my name Wauwatosa police withheld the evidence and I remained to be charged with a crime. oscn.net Tulsa Police Service search warrant on my home based upon the false testimony of my father in law that he and I were intimate partners and his wife also. because I can build affordable sustainable disaster resistant homes.

Housing Crisis in California

There is a housing crisis in Northern California, the bay area to be exact. People of all racial and socio economic backgrounds are being priced out of the housing market, buyers and renters. While everyone isn't earning six figures in upwards of $300,000 seeing a one bedroom apartment rent for $2500-$3000 for only 700 sq feet in the hood will make you think. The price is five to six thousand in San Francico....with landlords vying for tech employees. We've lost 25% of our teachers due to housing prices, we need help now!
