Christmas 2002 Supplement

Family Update

Great grandma is now 94. She was featured in a Sacramento Bee article about Oak Park. Stephen is 13 and Stephanie is 15. 

Appeals

Allow me to introduce Judge Mize. He was a divorce attorney until "governor show me the money Davis" appointed him. Now he makes rulings consistent with the policy of full employment of his former associates. He sanctioned me $5400 in family court for filing a non-family court complaint in civil court after my divorce case was final. When I appealed his order, he sanctioned me another $4000. In June they executed a levy, cleaning out my checking and savings accounts, and freezing my ATM. Judge Mize is the biggest thief I've encountered in my life. To find out what I really think of family court, see my Family Injustice page, and review my appeal briefs.

The 12/19/2002 Sacramento News and Review profiled Mike Newdow's constitutional challenge to Mize's denial of shared custody of his only child - and Family Court's manta of "best interest of the child" which judges use to justify their tyranny.

H-1B Visas

Since March 2000 - when the dot-com bubble burst, the IT job market dropped by 500,000 workers. Nonetheless, in October 2000 congress increased the number of foreign visas to 195,000 annually, with no protection for American workers. Employers are free to hire foreigners without advertising or considering American candidates. Congress even permitted them to lay off Americans and replace them with foreigners - provided they wait 90 days. Details on my Report to Congress page. Everyone please contact your congressman on this issue, and email this page to all the tech workers you know.

My girlfriend and car

I have been seeing Tess since May 2001, and I got this car in June 2001. Last summer I spent $800 on a new stereo, including a Bazooka tube subwoofer, which makes the bass amazing. 

In high school I had a 1968 Dodge Charger 440 magnum. I see my car is back in favor. It was featured in The Fast and The Furious. Joe Dirt had one, and now in the Dodge pickup, "That thing got a hemi?" commercial.

Speaking of movies, 'Rock Star" was my favorite movie I saw this year.
