Laura Chick Identified as Potential Player In Financial Scheme Known as CaliforniaALL

by SSLakaYoloanR Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013 at 9:30 AM

A former Los Angeles City Controller associated with the California Democratic Party is now embroiled in a controversy dealing with the alleged embezzlement of public funds through and by means of fraud

In the midst of the growing controversy over the alleged embezzlement of public funds by California Democratic Party operatives associated with OBAMA FOR AMERICA, a former Los Angeles City Controller associated with the California Democratic Party is now embroiled in a controversy dealing with the alleged embezzlement of public funds through and by means of fraud.

Specifically, Laura Chick of Los Angeles County has recently been identified as a potential player in the financial scheme known as CaliforniaALL following the fortuitous discovery of evidence relating to her involvement with OBAMA FOR AMERICA during the time she served as member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors.

As relevant to this matter, in 2007, various members of the State Bar of California Board of Governors with ties to the Democratic Party/OBAMA FOR AMERICA are accused by the author of knowingly agreeing to establish a non-profit entity (known as CaliforniaALL) which was later misused as a vehicle to absorb funds from utility companies, as well as close to $800,000 from the California Bar Foundation (an entity controlled by the State Bar of California Board of Governors).

As matters presently stand, suspicions exist that Morrison & Foerster attorneys James Brosnahan (the self-proclaimed "mastermind" behind the Democratic Party and member of OBAMA FOR AMERICA's California Finance Committee), Tony West (OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s Chair of California's Finance Committee), Chris Young (OBAMA FOR AMERICA's Northern California Deputy Finance Director; later of Keker & Van Nest), Annette Carnegie (former director of the California Bar Foundation), Kamala Harris (Co-Chair, OBAMA FOR AMERICA and member of CaliforniaALL), Jeffrey Bleich of Munger Tolles (president of the State Bar of California, director of the California Bar Foundation, and founding member and Chair of OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s National Finance Committee), Brad Phillips of Munger Tolles (2007- 2008 Director of the California Bar Foundation which served as a "financial sponsor" to CaliforniaALL on behalf of Verizon Wireless and Southern California Edison, both clients of Munger Tolles & Olson), Mark Parnes of Wilson Sonsini (2007-2008 director and Secretary of the California Bar Foundation), John Roos of Wilson Sonsini (former CEO of Wilson Sonsini and member of OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s National Finance Committee), Steven Churchwell of DLA Piper in Sacramento (Treasurer, draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA; firm where CaliforniaALL resided free of charge), Laura Chick (member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors and OBAMA FOR AMERICA), Jeannine English (member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors), Mark Friedman (elector for Barack Obama; a Sacramento real estate developer once accused of defrauding an Indian tribe out of millions of dollars while conspiring with the tribe's attorney Howard Dickstein - spouse of Jeannine English) and Freada Klein Kapor (member of the board of directors of CaliforniaALL; OBAMA FOR AMERICA's phone bank was located at The Kapor Center) all participated in a sophisticated financial scheme to misuse all or part of the "hush-hush" $780,000 originating from the California Bar Foundation to improperly benefit OBAMA FOR AMERICA via a separate foundation created ad hoc by Susan Mac Cormac and Eric Tate of Morrison & Foerster known as CaliforniaALL.

In 2007, Ruthe Catolico Ashley served as member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors alongside Jeffrey Bleich, and came up with the idea to create CaliforniaALL during a meeting with Sarah Redfield and Peter Arth, (the assistant to CPUC President Michael Peevey).

CaliforniaALL was conveniently housed free of charge at the offices of DLA Piper in Sacramento, alongside the draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA, where Steve Churchwell of DLA Piper in Sacramento served as Treasurer of the draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA.

Subsequent to the election of Barack Obama, CaliforniaALL was dissolved.

Other then collecting close to $2 million directly from utility companies (including the "hush-hush" transfer of $774,247, comprised of one installment of $5000 and another contribution of $769,247 from the Foundation which was never mentioned in the Foundation's "newsroom" or by any other of its publications such as the California Bar Journal or by any of the newsletters and alerts published by CaliforniaALL), CaliforniaALL appears to have been be a sham, phantom entity from its inception in 2008 to the day it began to slowly be dissolved in approximately 2009, subsequent to the election of Barack Obama as president of the U.S.

Its only alleged achievement was providing some money for the creation of the Saturday Academy of Law at UC Irvine ("SALUCI") in approximately 2008-2009. Here too vast and intense suspicious circumstances exist as the funds from CaliforniaALL actually went to the UC Irvine Foundation, where the present executive director of the State Bar of California (Senator Joe Dunn) serves as a member of the audit committee, and it turns out that the SALUCI was actually already created in 2005 and was fully operational before CaliforniaALL arrived on the scene. In addition, some records seem to indicate that Verizon Wireless funneled the money directly to SALUCI , while CaliforniaALL took the credit."

Laura Chick's Wikipedia profile states that she also served as California's Inspector General overseeing the state's spending of $85 billion of Federal Recovery Act funding. Chick was appointed to the newly created position by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in April 2009 and the office was terminated by Governor Jerry Brown in December 2010.

An Even Bigger Plot

by Fred Snider Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013 at 9:12 PM
fredsnider@hotmail.com

A Los Angeles union proves to secretly deal with the Governor & other political parties, & they have corrupted our Justice System.

SEIU Local 434b was sued by Fara Snider for many crimes against her, but their attorney proves to have immense political clout, & totally corrupted the case & all parties involved.

I reported their crimes to over 50 agencies, including the FBI & IRS, but none will prosecute or even stop them.

434b sued me, claiming "defamation", even though I possess evidence & know of many witnesses, & the case is 100% bogus.

If you put "434b" in the search box of: http://www.nrtw.org you will see reports of a $10 million settlement, made to avoid being proven guilty in a court of law, & find California's Attorney General listed in wth them. ( They just stole more to cover that. )

You can see the odd & illegal lists of filings by putting BC300711 & BC325828 in the search box of the Civil Case Summaries section of: http://www.lasuperiorcourt.org & I can point out the precise flaws in their gross actions.

You can see Elizabeth Garfield boast of her political connections, & favors done for the media unions, who all refuse to report about the crimes, by perusing: http://www.holgar.com

All lawyers & judges were reported to the State Bar & Judicial Performance Commission, who lied when they said that they carefully reviewed the evidence. Their responses contained so many errors, it was clear that they did not even carefully read the reports.

SEIU's DC President, Andy Stern, was informed, & his inactions make him culpable, & cause me to suspect other of his locals of similar scams.

In-Home Care Workers do need better wages, but this union steals so much from them, that it's the same as stealing it from the Taxpayers who are forced to provide the extra money.

The Governor & Board Of Supervisors pretend to be against any additional funding, but do not use my reports to put an effective stop to it.

Related Reports/Independent Verification/L.A. Times Investigation

L.A. Times reporter, Mr. Paul Pringle, was investigating many lesser crimes involving this union. To view his links:

http://la.indymedia.org/news/2008/08/219375.php

http://la.indymedia.org/news/2008/08/219618.php

I contacted him, & everyone included in all of the articles, but got little or no response.

More Evidence Of Them Corrupting Cases
by Fred Snider Monday, Oct. 20, 2008 at 8:19 PM
fredsnider@hotmail.com

According to the report:

http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/09/25/18541264.php

The SEIU local president that Ms. Snider sued for many criminal acts against her, & who sued me for defamation because I reported his criminal activities to the authorities, Tyrone Freeman, has been removed from office for his corruption.

This should lend credence to our claims that he & his associates corrupted our Justice System against us, & both cases should be settled fairly.

Ms. Snider should be fully & fairly compensated for her injuries, both mental & physical, & the fraudulent judgment against us should be dismissed with prejudice.
Will any lawyer see justice done?

Will any reporter let the public hear of thiis?

Yet Another New Development

Now one of their partners in crime is chosen to head a new commission on major financial crime in America, but doesn't appear to be even mentioning his past dealings with SEIU felonies.

Their "Health Care" Scam
by Fred Snider Sunday, Nov. 07, 2010 at 3:10 AM
fredsnider@hotmail.com

It doesn't matter if there are any good points to it or not.

It would if it were created by the AMA, but it was concocted by criminals who excel at forcing people to pay for services that they just do not provide, & pages upon pages of vague legalese that contains many loopholes to escape responsibilty.
la.indymedia.org/news/2010/01/234539.php

As soon as it passed, Andy stern left SEIU, according to this report:
http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=8244

Shows how much he really cares about health....

Put,"Tyronre Freeman", in Google to see how his best man is being investigated by the feds & facing over 200 years. But they're still not reporting about the many millions that he stole.
