My name is Meredith Cavaness Corni...Dear Innerlite,<br />My name is Meredith Cavaness Corning and I am from Arkansas. I have recently started a grass roots effort to support the victims of domestic violence through encouraging communities to donate items such as clothing, accessories, and personal care products to their local women's shelters and other related advocacy groups. By finding creative ways to do this I believe we can inspire one another to join in the effort of empowering the victims through self-confidence. I am going to follow your blog and I know you are more on the legislative side of this issue, but I would love for you to follow my blog also as I am still trying to rally the troops and am in need of support in numbers. Here's a link: http://thecompassionfashionproject.blogspot.com/. I hope you can check it out and any advice for my cause would be fantastic. Thank you so much for your time.Compassion Fashion https://www.blogger.com/profile/09170555375475672876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987167067075124014.post-55372849430693690892010-06-09T14:28:42.816-04:002010-06-09T14:28:42.816-04:00Kudos to Judge DeAnn Salcido.

I for one beleive that our judicial system in California is due for an overhaul with judges that aren't affraid to make a decision on behalf of the people. Just go to UD court and watch judges toss people out of their homes regardless if the foreclosure was unlawful or the lender violated mortgage laws. A judge simply ask, "did you promise to pay?"..yes your honor.."did you pay?"..no your honor.."move out." Doesn't matter that the trustee or the lender didn't follow California civil codes in the process of the foreclosure or that the loan was a preditory loan. Banks in California are all too accustom of trhowing families out on the streets with the help of the judicial system and have no incentive to modify a loan.<br />chasjh46@aol.comCharles Hornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987167067075124014.post-8819994244680812612010-05-28T06:33:56.810-04:002010-05-28T06:33:56.810-04:00Thank you for mentioning Gift of Fear.

Public lives need to be scrutinized as they reflect many the same behaviors as private lives. Yet how well behaved and honorable is the judge herself? Is she accountable, sensible, and honest with all her associates whom she has lead to believe she cares about and treats judiciously fair? I and many know as she knows, she does not. It is truly criminal to allow molesters and offenders of all types to get away with any crime, no matter how officially concealed it may be. She lives with herself somehow, and by herself holding court on others in contempt when she is anything but upright and impartial doling out her personal sentences on those who stand up to her for themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987167067075124014.post-74052411378930725562010-05-15T17:17:36.744-04:002010-05-15T17:17:36.744-04:00Maybe it is time to work together to fix the probl...Maybe it is time to work together to fix the problem.<br /><br />Protect the future ahead, don't live in the past and don't just shout across the table.<br /><br />Act on it so that things get done.

I know nothing of your case and hope you had people advocating on your child’s behalf such as a guardian ad litem, child protective services and law enforcement. Impartial Judges make decisions based on what is presented to them within the context of law and court rules. If those charged with investigating such things presented a valid case regarding the danger your child was in and they were ignored then I hope you appealed and prevailed.<br /><br /> Biased Judges make decisions outside of those parameters based on ego, inappropriate reciprocity,adherence to an "old boys" network, burn out and laziness. The practices addressed by Judge Salcido’s lawsuit resulted in the deaths of young girls. I commend her for her stand. It is a concern nationwide, and her outrage is legitimate and long overdue. <br /><br />Every person who puts themselves out there, such as Judge Salcido has, is subject to scrutiny and every decision, both personal and professional, will come back to haunt them in one way or another. Yes, during election years, motives are questioned and every thing lying dormant is revived and embellished. As ugly as it can become, this is how change occurs. As an advocate working for systems change, she has my full support on this issue and I commend her for her bravery.Innerlitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585354985968028283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987167067075124014.post-82546064679348323412010-05-08T11:38:43.634-04:002010-05-08T11:38:43.634-04:00I have tried very hard to calm down after reading ...I have tried very hard to calm down after reading the outlandish statements<br />made by Deann Salcido regarding improprieties in the San Diego court system.<br />For this woman to denounce anyone is the height of hypocrisy. In 2003, she<br />refused to listen to me and my child and placed my child in the custody of a<br />child molester. The total disregard with which she treated us and others in<br />her courtroom was a reflection of the accusations she has levied against<br />others of her profession. The upcoming elections make it clear to me that<br />her announcement today is nothing more than false grandstanding and a grab<br />at free publicity. Deann Salcido has abused her powers in the court system<br />and now that her bid for continued power is faltering in this election, she<br />blames others for the state of our courts.<br /><br />Deann Salcido's attempt to distance herself from the stigma of the<br />atrocities committed by her peers does not in any way diminish her<br />culpability in the wrongs she committed. Has she apologized to even a single<br />person that she has harmed? Has she tried to make amends to any of the<br />children who continue to suffer because of her decisions? I am lucky that my<br />child did not die as Katie Tagle's did because of Judge Lemkau but my child<br />was placed in danger because of Salcido. The public should not be mislead<br />about this woman. She is no better than those she criticizes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987167067075124014.post-36877952425187247922010-05-08T10:57:08.152-04:002010-05-08T10:57:08.152-04:00Thank you for your kind words of support.
