And I began to wonder, as I got older, what the different types of
Justices are in America."

Racism in Congress

This is the 21st Century and I would like the citizens of this country to take a look at racism. Racism affects many people in America on a daily basis. I am living proof that racism still exists today. I'm writing this to let the citizens of this country know that racism is everywhere and it is alive and well in the Congress of the United States of America.

Please read on.  I will tell you how Congressman James Sensenbrenner treated me in Congress.

I served my country in 1962 to 1967 in the U.S. Air Force. Because of my stature of 6 feet 8 inches, the military wanted me to play on their basketball team. When I became injured and not able to play the game, the military doctor's injected me with steroids, (a "quick fix"). I had no idea of the long-term side effects this drug would have on my body.

I am not a white man and my mother is not Elizabeth Taylor and I do not have a stepfather named John Warner. I have never been convicted of any crime.

In 1988 I had a Bill in Congress that would allow me to get restitution from the military for malpractice. This Bill would allow me to get justice for what the military did to me. Yet congress refused to help me to pass my Bill.

However, Michael Wilding is a white man and is the son of Elizabeth Taylor and did have a stepfather name John Warner who just so happens to be Senator John Warner. In 1971, Michael renounced his citizenship in the U.S. to avoid the draft. He went to live in England where in 1974 he was cultivating marijuana and was convicted of this felony.

Then in 1988, Michael wanted to return to the United States but since he was a convicted felon and had renounced his U.S. citizenship to flee to England to avoid the draft he had to get his Bill pass in Congress to be able to return to the United States.

U.S. Immigration laws say that no one who has been convicted on drug charges can become a prominent resident in the U.S. Yet, Congress till passed his Bill with the help of James Sensenbrenner and Senator John Warn. A quote taken from a newspaper article in Virginia says, "Would Warner write new laws for someone else's son?"

Another example is the Bill for Tracey McFarlane. Tracey was born in Canada. In 1985 she came to the United States and attended the University of Texas. She was a top swimmer for the university. In 1988, she wanted to join the 1988 Olympics Swimming Team. However, Tracey would not be allowed to represent the U.S. because she was not a U.S. citizen.

To become a U.S. citizen, you must fist be here in the U.S. for five years. Tracey was only here for three years. So, in 1988, a private Bill was submitted in Congress for her to become a U.S. Citizen. She had no problem getting her Bill to pass, again with the help of James Sensenbrenner.

Congressman James Sensenbrenner helped both Mr. Wilding's and Ms. McFarlane's Bills to pass Congress yet he wouldn't help me, he wouldn't meet me or even talk with me on the phone.
