Dear Mr. John F. Bailey,
Once again we should all be grateful for your exposure and coverage of
such important American stories. Stories exposing the injustices we are
forced to succumb to by those who apparently feel they have a disgusting
dictatorial unjust power over the freedoms and rights of us as Americans.
Our rights, rights that can indiscriminately be infringed upon by the
personal influences of controlling power and misuse of our judicial system
against us to serve those in power.
The Elena Ruth Sassower story, the arrest and incarceration of her by
U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss for exercising her freedom of speech is exactly
why our great country was established and what many died for in the creation
of America.
To have the individual right and freedom to speak freely publicly and
denounce the abusive practices against us as a free nation.
Ms. Elena Ruth Sassower should not only be honored as the person of the
year but recognized as one of our great American if not global heros
for standing up for not only her own individual rights but for the rights
of all Americans! Equally, Dorothy Mataras should also be honored for
her unrelenting coverage and dedication for the release of Elena Ruth
Sassower. These are great individuals who deserve the recognition and
status of our great American freedom fighters of justice for all!
U.S Senator Saxby Chambliss has earned himself the honor of being one
of the great American-Communist leaders of our time. Perhaps I too will
soon be arrested for opposing Senator Chambliss position and exercising
my freedom of speech.
Please forward my address to him and I await the Gestapo, handcuffs and
shackles for my arrest! I will stand proudly next to Elena Ruth Sassower.
Thank you Elena Ruth Sassower for believing in who you are, an American!

I
would like to nominate Elena Sassower for Person of the Year - due to
her courageous stand against one of the most powerful (yet unaccountable)
groups in America, the federal judiciary. I would also like to commend
you for your story about Elena. One of the main purposes of a free press
is to write about the powerful and to hold the powerful accountable -
your article/story about Elena did that. I salute your courage and that
of your publication. As I get older, the one trait I value more and more
in people is courage, as it is so, so, rare today. These little acts of
courage, usually by lone individuals, keeps us free and inspires others
to make a stand.

Dear
Mr. Bailey:
Thank
you for being a person that makes sure the truth is told in the media.
Because of how little coverage the 'activists' and 'reformers' who are
working to help 'the people' receive, I started a website to begin getting
the word out. I've been working on the Elena story since July. Elena's
page was originally on one site but I eventually had to give her her own
page which is at:
http://victimsoflaw.net/Elena1.htm (it's been updated to 'salute'
her).
Her
original story was put on my 'victims' page
http://victimsoflaw.net/victims.htm but had to go down to the
bottom because of all the other victims that I wanted to feature.
I
also designed and wrote:
http://www.geocities.com/themis1.geo/Sassower.htm
As
you can obviously see, I truly believe Elena should be the "Person
of the Year." It takes a lot of guts to do what she does.
Thank
you in advance for your anticipated thoughtful review and consideration.

Dear
Mr. Bailey,
Please
add my name to those who feel that Elena Ruth Sassower should be named
the White Plains Person of the Year. While I suspect that there are many
folks from the White Plains area who should be recognized for their service,
I feel that Ms. Sassower's service to the nation over this year makes
her your most outstanding citizen.

Dear
Members and Supporters of CJA,
We
take this opportunity to thank all of you who have responded to the abortion
of justice that has afflicted its Cofounder and Coordinator, Elena Ruth
Sassower. Following are just a few of the many reactions that have reached
CJA's e-mail. Please excuse us because sheer volume and lack of time have
not always permitted individualized acknowledgement of your heartening
mail. Please know that your ideas, strategies, and donations are greatly
appreciated. Although our organization has been dealt a severe blow
by this tragedy, like the Blacks who stayed their civil rights course
through hellish oppression and even bloodshed, we too shall overcome.
We expect, with your growing activism, to hold our judiciary accountable
and make that change happen in our lifetimes.
Don't
stop thinking about tomorrow and what else you can do to HELP FREE ELENA.
Thanks to YOU, Elena's story is now on over a thousand websites!
KEEP
SPREADING THE NEWS. Let's show the world that democracy can really work,
at home, as well as abroad! Thank you in Elena's name, CJA looks
forward to working with judicial reformers in each state, who are interested
in developing satellite CJA offices in each State and Territory of the
United States. Just come forward and let us know who you are.
Appreciatively,
Doris L. Sassower, Cofounder & Director

RE: Letter of Support and my
story of judicial corruption supported by the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Dear Ms. Sassower,
I am writing you this letter
as a means of support and to encourage to continue the fight. I realize
that you have sacrificed your freedom to stand up for your rights and
the rights of others. And that you will not back down. Truly, you are
an unsung hero at this time, and hopefully your efforts will not go in
vain. Keep fighting and good luck down the road.

Dear
Elena,
I
have finally received your address. I must confess that if I were
to go to a therapist, I would have to share with him/her the fact that
I suffer from a sense of guilt. Guilt that Elena Sassower is sitting
in jail because she is fighting my battles. Elena, to help me overcome
my feelings of guilt, please let me know in what way I can help.
You
are indeed a principled and wonderful person. It is apparent that
the judicial system cannot
cope with your integrity. I am confident that the day will come
when you will be vindicated fully and the villains who framed you will
be exposed for what they really are.
Keep
your chin up, maintain your pride as you have a great deal to be proud
of.
Know
that your suffering is for a cause which will affect millions of people
in a very positive way.

Is
this what is in store for anyone who civilly questions authority?
God help the Republic, for it is clear that our judges and politicians
will not.
A massive outcry from a free people might free Elena Sassower, but with
todays dumbed-down electorate, most of whom dont know they have a Constitution,
let alone a Bill of Rights, I have little hope of that. Still, your article,
your broadcast, your letter, your fax or telephone call to your senators
and representative, with copies to your local papers, could help reverse
this travesty of justice.

Was at a Florida court yesterday --- the judge actually said to a plaintiff,

Dear
Elena,
I'm so sorry you have to go through so much for your efforts to improve
citizens rights. I'm so with you on this very crucial issue. I can't believe
that in the US, of all countries on this planet that such bullying exists.
Surely, people like your mother know what's going on, and want to change
a corrupt system. I applaud her heroic stand and yours. There has been
so much in the papers lately about corruption in the NY legal system and
I want to write to Judge Kaye- if it will make any difference. Now is
the perfect opportunity to act on this issue. I really think Judgewatch
needs good exposure - like Oprah.
I
love Ralph Nader's ideals and tenacity but unfortunately, he's not taken
very seriously anymore. We need to use other strategies.
The
truth is that so much damage is done to decent citizens by judges who
haven't a clue on issues they rule on. Biased gender remarks are allowed
and go unpunished along with perjury and unfair rulings. ( Are these brutal
remarks less hurtful or serious than racial?)
I
would like to be an active member in Judgewatch because I feel one of
the greatest strengths in anything is people working together. I think
we should peacefully protest outside of courthouses and such places. As
you may remember I saw your name in The Syracuse Post-Standard because
of Senator eFransesco and the"bully" remarks made to you. If
there were ten or twenty people from Judgewatch at these things they would
react differently- I'm sure.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Aloha,
I hope y'all are appealing this treasonous and unjust persecution of Elena!
I am sending my demands for her pardon and for the prosecution of those
fascist stooges who violated her rights to speak on this issue.
And

the hell is this story not being reported by major news media?

I
am sorry to hear of Elena's peril. ...
Can
someone closer to the case post their opinion on how much influence Congress
may have had on the stiff sentencing? I know many organizations
including the Libertarian Party that would like to know more about this
case. The current nominee for President from the L.P. is a big Constitution
guy, and might very well see this as an issue to be brought up in the
political arena.
This
case is interesting to me because it concerns both Congress and the Courts.
The bill of attainder issue is one that occurs because to cease them,
or pass them, it takes both.
