Marybeth Christiansen, commenting on 171066. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon. Good morning, and thank you. My name is Marybeth Christiansen. I am the State Legislative Directive of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. I want to thank Councilman Kenyatta Johnson for sponsoring this resolution in support of State Senate Bill 501. Our organization is all volunteer. We are non-partisan. We are single issue. We're dedicated to preventing the epidemic of gun violence in America. We are the largest gun prevention organization in the country. We have over four million members across 50 states, and we work with local, state, and federal officials for commonsense Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 solutions to gun violence that respect the Second Amendment, and State Senate Bill 501 is one of those commonsense measures. So we applaud you, Councilman, for passing a resolution to support this bill. State Senate Bill 501 was introduced by a republican, Tom Killion of Delaware County. It has bipartisan support, including that from our proud Philadelphia congregation. Our co-sponsors include Senators Hughes, Haywood, Farnese, Street, Sabatina, and Williams. This bill has been endorsed by the State District Attorney's Association, the State Chiefs of Police Association, and the FOP, and we hope that we can add the City Council's support to 501. Why do we need the bill? Well, for over 20 years, federal law has required that convicted domestic abusers and those under a final protection from abuse orders be prohibited from holding Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 firearms, but that is not the case in Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, those under a final protection from abuse order do not need to turn in their guns. It's up to the courts, and historically our courts have ordered surrender of firearms in only 14 percent of the cases. Those convicted of a crime of misdemeanor domestic violence do have to turn in their firearms, but Pennsylvania gives them 60 days to do so, a 60-day grace period to turn in your firearms. And in Pennsylvania, when those guns finally are turned in, it's up to the abuser, not the court, it's up to the abuser who gets to hold those weapons. So State Senate Bill 501 would finally bring Pennsylvania in line with federal law, and it would require that within 24 hours of a conviction for domestic abuse misdemeanor or being placed under a final protection from abuse order, the abuser turns over his firearms to the police or to a licensed Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 law enforcement dealer. So we urge the Council to pass this bill. We'd remind you -- and you probably know from reading the news that the failure to have these provisions in place in Pennsylvania has had fatal results. We're wearing a button in honor of two-year-old Michael Ayers. Am I out of time? I think I'm out of time. Please pass State Senate Bill 501. Thank you very much for your consideration. (Applause.)
Thank you. Clerk, would you please read our next speaker.
Joe Danihel, commenting on 171057 and 171067. (Witness approached podium.)
This is an official decree of the people in writ of mandamus quo warranto and, as such, requires immediate action and remedy. Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 Every week Council, Mayor, and others transfer private property to government, probably illegally. Have oath, Constitution, and law violators achieved what the Japanese empire could not do 76 years ago? Stealing the home of one of the sovereign people of the United States. Eleanor Roosevelt spoke 76 years ago: We are the free and unconquerable people of the United States. How this government by the people and for the people allow oath, Constitution, and law violators to screw the people. Why is Council, Mayor, and others violating oath, Constitution, and laws by denying due process remedy opposing trial by jury? The FBI and Justice Department are required to investigate and prosecute numerous oath, Constitution, and law violations. The FBI and Justice Department are required to freeze federal funds until hundreds of millions of Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 missing federal taxpayer dollars are accounted for. FBI and Justice Department have wide latitude to use the RICO Statute to round up groups of officials who collude to steal taxpayer money and violate oath, Constitution, and laws. Four score and many years ago, Jefferson, Lincoln, and others predicted that the United States would be destroyed from within by oath, Constitution, and law-violating officials. The Constitution and laws require immediate remedy of this breach of law, breach of close, breach of fiduciary duty. Your office requires you to act or face prison. 42 USC 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 18 USC 241, 242, 2381, 2384, PA Constitution, Article I, Sections 1 through 11, 26 PA CSA 703, 705, 708, 709, 712, 713, 716, and other laws listed in SCOTUS 15-8965, 14-1330, 14-4056 appear violated. Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 I call for the federal and Commonwealth governments to perform their constitutional obligations to investigate and prosecute all involved in the theft and illegal deed transfer of my home, 1038 West Wyoming Avenue. The denial of God-given 42 USC 1982 property rights for 23 years is egregious, extraordinary, oath-violating, and requires immediate remedy. A just government must obey the rule of law. This color of law government must have its Charter to govern revoked until a constitutionally compliant government is installed. Public servants cannot refuse their sworn duty to act any more than a fireman can refuse to fight a fire. The sovereign people require Constitution and laws be enforced. Jail is required for all who violate oath, Constitution or law. I remind Council, it takes a lot of cooperation to create and allow Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 monumental corruption.
Thank you. Clerk, would you please read the name of our next speaker.
Emmanuel Bussie, commenting on 171072. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon, Council. So today -- it's afternoon, right? It's after 12:00. So today the Auditor General released its findings on his audit of the Parking Authority, and I am doing my best -- and I'm glad Councilman Squilla came back, and I really wish Council President Clarke was here, because I'm doing my best to stay calm. Because the Auditor General was kind of outraged at the press conference. He was refraining from using certain language. He was so outraged about what's going on in the Parking Authority, about the 900 hours of comp time for somebody getting paid over $250,000 a year, accumulating 900 hours Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 of comp time, the $77 million that didn't go to the School District because of mismanagement and vacation time and the games they play at the Parking Authority. I'm outraged because, in my opinion, you are not outraged, right? We stand up here and we're so damn calm and so collected about fighting for our people and we try to be such gentlemen, but the problem is, there's people hurting out there. When they get they car taken, you can't go to work. You can't feed your family. Like this is -I just can't understand you guys can't champion this goddamned fight. I can't understand why you can't champion this fight. Like this is -- so I take off because other community leaders can't take off to be here, the Mel Wells, the Anton Moores. They can't keep taking off to come down here to spend three minutes to be goddamned polite and talk about issues that are facing our community. We need you guys to champion Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 this cause. Like I'm on your side. All you guys, I'm on your side. I consider you my team. I consider us in your corner. We want to back you, but you got to fight the commonsense damn fight. This fight with the Parking Authority, when you read this report, you all should be outraged at this report, and for O'Neill to say I'm voting on every bill but that, how can y'all let this goddamned, this daggone coward, this gosh-darn traitor to Philadelphia just say he not going to say yes to the daggone bill and take back the Parking Authority? Even the Attorney General, who ain't from Philly, said that they should take back the damn Parking Authority, and the fact that my friends in Council won't fight like hell for the people in Philadelphia is outrageous.
Rochelle Bail [sic]. Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 (Witness approached podium.)
Let me help you with that. Bilal. Bill and Al together. Bilal. We good?
Thank you. I am in support of Bill 171072 introduced by the champion of the Parking Authority take-back takedown, and we appreciate the Councilman at-large who has taken on this fight and consistently stayed focused in the reference to the Parking Authority. He now has more ammunition in reference to the audit that was just given out in a press conference downstairs that all of y'all should have been at, where the Auditor says the Parking Authority has been raping this city for years, that $77.5 million that should have been Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 turned over to the school in the past five years has not, due to the Parking Authority exquisite taste in time management and property. So the Parking Authority has been stealing from you, from us, from taxpayers. There should be no other utterance in reference to the Parking Authority take-back. Nobody else should sit around and say we got to talk about it. There's no more talk in reference to that. So when you get up there and you hold the kids in front of you like cowards, like the Mayor said, the City -the school person here at the hearings for Jannie Blackwell Bill 160111 and threw up the kids, we do it for the kids, you find out that the Parking Authority is not doing anything for the children of this city. So they can't use that as the shield that they use to cover themselves in reference to what they do. They have been raping this city for five years, and we are outraged, Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 because we came down here to support Jannie Blackwell Bill 160111 and the Parking Authority came here and came with nothing, came with absolutely nothing other than the School District flunky to say, oh, it's for the schools. Now we find out they have did nothing for the schools. So it's up to y'all to be as outraged as we are. Parking Authority has a meeting on the 15th at 10:00 a.m., and we plan to be there blasting. We will be here blasting also if y'all don't figure out and do what need to be done. Take the Parking Authority back. We got our schools. We need to fund it, and we need to do it now. (Applause.)
Thank you for your testimony. Clerk, would you please read the name of our next speaker.
Clarc King, commenting on 171059. Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon, Council President and thank you, Councilmembers. I am here in support of Councilman Henon's resolution urging the President, Congress, and all relevant federal offices to continue to protect net neutrality and open Internet services. The public domain is constantly encroached upon by the private sector. The narrative, despite the reality, is that the private sector can run any organization better than public agencies and institutions. Free speech is also an issue here in this modern era. Corporate power has put tremendous pressure on the truth, the facts and with the power of characterizing the actual reality we live in, undermining our democracy, the principles of our democratic republic. It's reported that Google now censors its customers, clients, and Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 visitors to their site. So we see in the end large corporations matter and everyone else looks bewildered. These accusations greatly diminish the platform that allows people to speak, to access facts, knowledge and understanding of the world we live in. I think Philadelphia should investigate in order to expand the commons, if you will, implementing a search engine, and it may be able to be done through its business development facilities. It is disturbing that political leadership is not looking for the public's input. They're not listening to the voice of the people. The Internet came from the U.S. government, most of its technology from NASA. So the Internet has become a great beehive of valuable brain power, influencing the political, education, science, markets, and economy. So this necessary communication Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 platform cannot be privatized, owned, and controlled. I thank Councilman on his efforts. In addition, I'd like to say that the City Council communicate to our leaders in the federal government that they must retrieve $40 trillion stolen money. The Fed must be reorganized. Austerity must be condemned in whatever disguise. The U.S. government must spend money into the main street economy so that people will be able to purchase a decent standard of living, run their businesses, and pay their debts and taxes to effect actual economic activity. It's the national priority. Thank you.
Thank you. Clerk, would you please read our last speaker.
Robert Burdge, commenting on 171059. (Witness approached podium.)
My name is Robert Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 Burdge, as you know. I heard about affordable housing. I met with one of the Council leaders yesterday and he said that we need to do something for the poor, and affordable housing is a start. I've been on your list for PHA for five years, and I'm finally getting considered after five years of being on a list and being on the streets. We need to get this affordable housing, seriously, guys. It's something that is very necessary. Curtis said we are doing better with it, but we need more. We need more. We need something to get the poor people. Our city is the fifth largest city, and we have the most poverty in it. So we need to work for the poor people and get affordable housing and really work on this. And, two, we need not just the government to do it. We need the private sector too. So we can work together, as Stated Meeting December 7, 2017 the gentleman that was just up here said. The private sector needs very good time, but we also need the government and City Hall to really do something. And thank you, Mr. Curtis.
Thank you. Thank you so much for your testimony.
