Secretary

I think that's a different person. The CofC guy spells his name DonOhue.

The right to trial by jury in CIVIL cases is protected by the United States Constitution and included in the Bill of Rights.

The "Chambers of Whorers." This terrorist group have never helped the common person. They build up the capitalists to a point where they are "unreachable."

I remember a post by "miggy" earlier today that sheds light on this:

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men,
living together in society,
they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."
Frederic Bastiat, (1801-1850)

Maybe something has changed in regard to English, because I am confused about an apparent self-contradiction in the above article about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the right of rape victims to have their day in court.

The title of this article indicates that the Chamber is trying to block rape victims' lawsuits.

However, the article indicates that the Chamber is "lobbying against rules which have prevented rape victims from having their day in court."

Here's my confusion: If the Chamber is trying to block rape victims' lawsuits, why are they also lobbying against the rules which have blocked the right of rape victims to sue?

I think that, over a half century ago, Sinclair Lewis had their number. Wherefore art thou Babbitt? A turd by any other name would stink as much!

blocking rape lawsuits... obviously this is a primary pillar of 'capitalism' and to allow such lawsuits entails government's overarching reach of regulation into the 'free market'... (snark)

Here's the bottom line; Rape is not a dispute, it is a crime, a felony. End of discussion.

have you ever tried to convince a federal court judge that felony rape is a crime, I did, the judge still does not think so...

have you ever tried to make the police arrest a man that rapes women in public?
he raped me and the police watched, he raped me to the point of unconcious

he has been doing that at the same business location for many years, because, as far as I can tell,

it is the govt that is allowing the corporations to rape women
billions of dollars in perk money, bail out money was not enough
raping the office help, that one is going to far

I was celibate for 20 years, I honestly thought it was against the law to rape the women in the workplace.

everyone knows they let white male professionals rape the office help, I was the last one to know, I was rendered unconcious by the assaults,

Who didn't know that someone decided to let the corporations, the white male exec's rape women

I have the court order that states "no crime alleged"

try to put a white man in prison for more than 3 prior serious violent felony rapes...

if you know someone that will enforce that felony condition crime.....please...let me known... it was not the state police, the DOJ or any law enforcement agency in america....and,,,,this guy should have been in prison long before i was sent to work for him.... he is still in business....making millions each month for a major corporation
after raping women in public, at the same business address for more than 20 years that i can document in prior federal court cases.

"right to sue"??? I did get that right to sue...I did sue...proved many federal violations, they are going to let the corporations rape women and break the law anyway. You have no idea what a court will put you through if you sue a corporation, mediation, forced settlements, non-disclosure agreements, non-prosecutions agreement, for the "settlement" money...AND there was no reason for "settlement" anyway.....I should have had an entry of Judgment.
They broke the law.
You would be surprised how far a federal court would go , TO DEFEND A SERIAL RAPIST AND A PRIVATELY HELD CORPORATION

What the CoC "forget" to say in its comment is that Ms. Jones had to move heaven and earth in order to get the right to sue. It took her four years and KBR fought her every inch of the way and is still arguing that the arbitration rules apply, not the court ruling. For this reason there had to be an amendment forbidding that kind of arbitration agreement written into a contract. What the CoC also fears is that now the other women who were in similar circumstances but didn't fight will now come forth. KBR is facing a big problem. It couldn't happen to more deserving people.

Why have laws that prohibit sexual abuse of women in the workplace, if those laws are not enforced?

Our Congress funds the EEOC, the Federal Courts, the Legistature. WHY?
Why are those government agencies in place, if a corporation is allowed to rape a woman?

I have been fighting a case for four years. I was drugged, raped, in public, in my workplace. They made pornographic films of the rapes.

I am certain that is against the law. To date, the laws have not been enforced by any federal agency.

I filed the case in Federal Court. I did prove many violations of federal law. A federal court Judge stated in orders that felony rape in the workplace was not a federal crime.

He is wrong. It is a Federal Crime under Title 18 Section 245 Federally Protected Activities.
It is a crime to rape the contract labor. It is a crime to hire a woman as office help, then use her to make "rape porn films". It would be a crime regardless of my employment status with the company.

I did not commit a crime. I have been trying for four years, to bring a serial rapist to Justice.
Had anyone pulled a rapist out of the workplace, I could have been spared from the rapes.

He raped me while the state police watched. The police report is on the docket.

When a woman is raped in the workplace, in America, every public official should take action to protect OUR AMERICAN WOMEN.

Thus far, I have four years of documentation that prove, every public official , the Federal Court at Philadephia, the PA State Police, the DA, the DOJ, every single law enforcement agency

IS PROTECTING THE RAPIST AND A PRIVATELY HELD CORPORATION
I have been trying to put a rapist in prison for nearly four years. HE RAPES WOMEN IN PUBLIC IN THE WORKPLACE.

One serious violent felony rape should put ANY MAN in prison.

The only reason that man is getting away with FELONY RAPE.
IS BECAUSE HE IS RAPING WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE.

Thus far, the only concern of ANYONE, is that his corporation is not held liable for breaking the law. HE MAKES MILLIONS EACH MONTH FOR A MAJOR CORPORATION,
and that is his free ticket out of prison, and his free ticket to literally, RAPE WOMEN IN PUBLIC

WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWING CORPORATIONS TO RAPE WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE??

If that man had raped a woman at Wal-Mart, he would surely be arrested and sent straight to prison.but, he raped me in the workplace.

The workplace is protecting the rapists, in violation of Federal Law.

After four years in this process, I am certain that RAPING WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE IS SOME SICK DEPRAVED HUMAN SPORT OF THE WEALTHY, THE WHITE MALE CORPORATE EXECS, THE DEPRAVED SPORT OF THE CORPORATIONS.

That man knows that he would go to prison for raping a woman , IN ANY PUBLIC PLACE,
BUT, THE WORKPLACE IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT HE IS FREE TO RAPE WOMEN.

NO WOMAN SHOULD HAVE TO LEAVE HER JOB
THE RAPIST MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE WORKPLACE.

The govt can give billions to the corporations, bail outs, millions in perks to corp exec's
BUT WHEN THE GOVT ALLOWS THE CORPORATIONS TO RAPE OUR WOMEN
IN PUBLIC, IN THE WORKPLACE,

THAT IS GOING TO FAR.

THE GOVT IS WELL AWARE THAT THE RAPIST NAMED IN MY COMPLAINT, HAD ALREADY RAPED MORE THAN A DOZEN WOMEN.

THE GOVT CAN SURELY PUT ONE WHITE MALE IN PRISON, HE RAPES WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE THAT IS A FEDERAL CRIME UNDER US CODE

I HAVE SEEN THEM PUT CHILDREN IN PRISON

HE IS STILL IN BUSINESS MAKING MILLIONS FOR A MAJOR CORPORATION

AFTER RAPING ME IN PUBLIC, IN THE WORKPLACE, THEN I WAS FIRED.

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING I HAVE EVER ASKED THE GOVT TO DO FOR ME
PUT A WHITE MAN IN PRISON FOR FELONY RAPE

HIS COMPANY SHOULD BE SUED, THEY BROKE THE LAW
I DID SUE THE COMPANY, AND I DID WIN, PROVING MANY FEDERAL VIOLATIONS

OUR GOVT IS CURRENTLY BLOWING UP AFGHANISTAN FOR TREATING PEOPLE LIKE THAT

BUT OUR GOVT IS WILLING TO ALLOW THE CORPORATE EXECUTIVES TO RAPE AS MANY WOMEN AS THEY WANT...

WHO ENFORCES THE LAWS THAT WE HAVE????
SO FAR, AFTER FOUR YEARS,,,,IT IS NOT OUR GOVERNMENT

EVERYONE IS PROTECTING A RAPIST, ONLY BECAUSE HE IS WHITE MAN, RAPING WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE.

OUR ECONOMY IS NOT SO BAD THAT WE HAVE TO LET THE CORPORATIONS RAPE OUR WOMEN

I DID FILE THE CASE 7-CV-1264 PRATHER v PRUDENTIAL
PROOF THAT THE FEDERAL COURTS ARE ALLOWING WORKPLACE RAPE
IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW

I THINK A MAN THAT RAPES WOMEN IN PUBLIC, SHOULD GO TO PRISON
EVERYONE ELSE THINKS HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RAPE WOMEN, MAKE PORN FILMS OF HIS RAPE PARTIES, HIS CORP LAWYER CAN FILE FALSE TESTIMONY, PERJURED DOCUMENTS, FALSE INSTRUMENTS, DENY THE RAPES HAPPENED, AND BROADCAST THE RAPES ON THE INTERNET, CELIBRATING GOVT POLICY THAT CORPORATIONS CAN RAPE WOMEN,
THEY EVEN FILED THE POLICE REPORT THAT DESCRIBES THE TYPE OF RAPE THE MAN DID

HE RAPED ME AND THE COP WATCHED.

THAT IS JUST TOO MUCH PERKS FOR THE CORPORATE EXEC'S

I COULD USE SUPPORT IN THIS CASE. I AM THE ONLY ONE CONCERNED THAT THE GUY RAPES WOMEN IN PUBLIC.

SO FAR, IT HAS BEEN FOUR YEARS OF PHONY GOVT PAPERWORK
AND THE GOVT IS WELL AWARE THAT THE GUY RAPED MANY WOMEN BEFORE ME
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SERVING MANDATORY LIFE ON MORE THAN THREE SERIOUS VIOLENT FELONY RAPES, LONG BEFORE I WAS SENT TO WORK FOR HIM

HE IS STILL IN BUSINESS, ANY BLACK MAN WOULD BE SERVING DOUBLE LIFE

YOU ALL HAVE MOTHERS WIVES AND DAUGHTERS THAT WORK TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILIES


I REMEMBER A DAY WHEN IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW, TO RAPE AMERICAN WOMEN
IN PUBLIC, IN THE WORKPLACE.

TELL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER

RELEASE THE CHILDREN FROM PRISON

START PUTTING WORKPLACE RAPISTS IN

THE GOVT HAS CASE FILES ON THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF KNOWN WORKPLACE RAPISTS

THEY HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING EVERY WOMAN THAT COMPLAINS OF RAPE
EEOC INVESTIGATIONS CAN GO ON FOR YEARS,,,,,THEY ONLY INVESTIGATE THE WOMAN THAT COMPLAINS OF RAPE

YOU ARE UNEMPLOYABLE BY THE TIME THE EEOC INVESTIGATION IS OVER
AND THERE IS STILL NOTHING ANYONE WILL DO
ABOUT A MAN THAT RAPES WOMEN IN PUBLIC
AND MAKES MILLIONS FOR A MAJOR CORPORATION

ANYONE WITH A MOTHER, WIFE OR A DAUGHTER, SHOULD BE OUTRAGED
WITH OUR GOVERNMENT, OUR CONGRESS, OUR FEDERAL COURT JUDGES

THE ECOMONY IS NOT SO BAD, THAT WE HAVE TO LET THE CORPORATIONS RAPE OUR OWN WOMEN

MAXCAT:

Yes , serious violent felony rape is a crime. Have you ever tried to enforce those laws?
I have an order on a Federal Court Judge that states "no crime alleged".
I have a letter from a U.S. Attorney that states "not a federal crime"
I have four years of govt letterhead telling me that serious violent felony rape in the workplace, is not a federal crime.

And, they all know that is not true, I filed the U.S. Code that makes felony rape in the workplace a federal offense.

the Hate Crime Bill, who enforces that??/
So far, it is not a Federal Court, a State Court, the DOJ, the FBI, the PA State Police , the Chester County DA

People were trying to tell me HE has a "right to privacy" TO RAPE WOMEN IN PUBLIC
I have been through the Privacy Act,,,,,there are no such provisions.
No one is concerned about MY privacy.....those people raped me in public, until I begged for death.

His corp lawyer very well knows he raped me, and denies it in court filings, AND , publically bragged about the rape porn he made.

You have no idea how bad it is , until it happens to you, or your mother, or you daughter.

WHICH GOVT EMPLOYEE, WHICH CONGRESSMAN, WOULD BE OUT LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB IF HIS BOSS RAPED HIM????

WHICH CONGRESSMAN WOULD BE TOLD HE CAN NOT SUE A PRIVATE CORPORATION FOR NUMEROUS VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL LAW

I have been in the process of fighting a major corporation for about four years.
I was hired as office help, drugged, raped,, in public,, they made rape porn films of the rapes.
His police friend, and his corporate attorney had the rape cases "sealed".

I have been trying to put him in prison for serious violent felony rape, for nearly four years.
I did "win" the "right to sue", I did file the case in Federal Court.
I did plead to put ONE RAPIST in prison, because under PA state law, he should have been serving mandatory life in prison, for more than three serious violent felony rapes before I was sent to work for him.

I was in a Judicial "proceeding" for more than 2 years, the Federal Court told me that serious violent felony rape in the workplace, on an EEOC charge, IS NOT A FEDERAL CRIME
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS LACK JURISDICTION

The court took no action regarding a known serial rapist, HE WAS ALLOWED TO STAY IN BUSINESS, MAKING MILLIONS FOR A MAJOR CORPORATION.

They told me that I am "contract labor" not an employee of the rapist. Contract labor IS covered under Title VII

I proved a long list of Federal violations, to include protecting him from prosecution by "sealing" the rape cases, without my knowledge or consent.

My pleadings to have a rapist removed from the workplace were ignored, JUST AS MY PLEADINGS, AND SCREAMING TO HAVE SOMEONE TAKE HIM OUT OF THE WORKPLACE, WERE IGNORED WHEN I WAS WORKING THERE

HE WAS ASSAULTING ME IN THE WORKPLACE, AND NO ONE TOOK HIM OUT OF THERE

HE JUST KEPT SHOWING UP FOR WORK AND ASSAULTING ME AGAIN, THEN I WAS FIRED

I did file the case 7-cv-1264 Prather v. Prudential. I did win the case, I proved the complaint with the PA state police report that proved the man raped me while his cop buddy watched.
The police report describes the exact type of rape the man did DEVIATE

The Federal Court took NO ACTION to enforce the law, the court worked aggressively AGAINST THE PLAINTIFF, ignored my complaint, and aggressively defended A RAPIST AND A PRIVATELY HELD CORPORATION THAT VIOLATED FEDERAL LAW.

They said I am "crazy". "Crazy" people can not sue. My complaint was dismissed without any action regarding a MAN THAT RAPES WOMEN IN PUBLIC ,, IN THE WORKPLACE.

They only worked hard to protect the corporation, to ensure that they are not held liable for monetary damages.

Which is exactly why the corporations are having "rape parties" in the workplace.
THEY CAN RAPE WOMEN FOR FREE, THE COURTS PROTECT THE CORPORATE MONEY

THE RAPIST STAYS IN BUSINESS AND THE RAPED WOMEN CAN GO FIND THEMSELVES ANOTHER JOB

AND THE CORPORATIONS CAN TRUST THE FEDERAL COURTS TO PROTECT THEIR ASSETS FROM CIVIL LAWSUITS

SO, AFTER FOUR YEARS OF TRYING TO CONVINCE THE FEDERAL GOVT THAT RAPING WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE IS AGAINST THE LAW,,,,,,

AFTER FOUR YEARS OF TRYING TO CONVINCE THE GOVT TO PUT ONE RAPIST IN PRISON

AFTER TRYING TO CONVINCE ANYONE THAT NO WOMAN SHOULD HAVE TO LEAVE HER JOB, THE RAPIST SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE WORKPLACE

I HAVE YET TO HAVE THOSE LAWS ENFORCED. HE IS STILL IN BUSINESS MAKING MILLIONS EACH MONTH FOR A MAJOR CORPORATION

AFTER RAPING ME, IN THE WORKPLACE

ACCESS TO FEDERAL COURTS, RIGHT TO SUE, FOUR YEARS OF FIGHTING
FOR THE RIGHT TO MY OWN BODY.......

AND THE ONLY CONCERN OF ANY FEDERAL OFFICIAL , IS PROTECTING THE MONEY OF A PRIVATE CORPORATION

HERE IS THE QUESTION - WHY IS EVERYONE PROTECTING THE MONEY

NO ONE IS REALLY CONCERNED THAT THE GOVT, IS ALLOWING CORPORATIONS TO RAPE WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE???

I WANT TO KNOW WHY,,,,,,,,,,,WHY IS THE GOVT IS ALLOWING THE FELONY RAPE OF AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE

WHY DON'T THEY TAKE RAPISTS OUT OF THE WORKPLACE, WHY ARE WOMEN FORCED TO LEAVE THEIR JOBS, AFTER BEING RAPED IN THE WORKPLACE

MY RAPE CASE WAS "SEALED" TO PROTECT MY PRIVACY???
THEY RAPED ME IN PUBLIC.....

MONEY AND LAWSUITS ARE THE ONLY CONCERN OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE??

MONEY AND LAWSUITS ARE THE ONLY CONCERN OF THE FEDERAL GOVT???

WHEN DOES TITLE 18 SECTION 245 CIVIL RIGHTS FEDERALLY PROTECTED ACTIVITIES EMPLOYMENT LAW

START PROTECTING WOMEN FROM RAPISTS, FROM GANG RAPE,

FROM A FEDERAL SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS WHITE MALE CORPORATE EXECUTIVES FROM THE PRISON SENTENCE THAT IS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW??

OUR WOMEN ARE BEING RAPED BY THE CORPORATIONS, THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF CASES EACH YEAR

I GOT OUT ALIVE, I AM SURE HE WOULD KILL ME RATHER THAN GO TO PRISON

I SOMEONE CONCERNED ABOUT THE RAPED WOMEN??/ NO, GET YOURSELF ANOTHER JOB AND "GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE"

WHICH SENATOR WOULD BE OUT LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB, IF HIS BOSS RAPED HIM??

AMERICA SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR THEIR OWN WOMEN,
RATHER THAN BLOWING UP AFGHANISTAN, FOR HALIBURTON TO GET RICH FROM OIL
