                  COMPLAINT FOR LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE IN PROTECTING THE

                   HEALTH, WELFARE AND SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC

 

1.         Comes now the people of the United States, Plaintiffs in this action and state as follows:

2.         We are the Plaintiffs in this action and have knowledge and facts we assert hereto.  We are competent to testify as to the following:

3.         Defendants named herein have been furnished with concrete undisputed evidence of imminent health and safety risks facing the people of North Carolina, Arizona, and West Virginia and throughout the United States as a direct result of uninformed consumers purchasing imported adulterated food product. This food is sold under the pretense of fresh fish and a product some times called (Tasteless Smoke product) in each of these respective States and throughout the Unites States.  These fraudulent, adulterated food sales to consumers are fish that for the most part are treated with deadly Carbon Monoxide Gas.  This poisonous gas is used to mask the true quality and sold to unsuspecting consumers.  Consumption of this product some times places the general public at severe health risks. Some of these imported adulterated fish products are processed in plants   located in Mindanao Philippines (previously known mainly for it’s Muslim Terrorists Groups). A great majority of these products are exposed to and or contain known cancer causing agents and other unknown bacteria prior to shipment to the Unites States, which is the only major country allowing such shipments.  Plaintiffs are reliably informed that consumption of this product is suspect in the cause of many illnesses and even deaths of consumers.  Consumption may also create grave health risks to the elderly, and those with liver disease, diabetes, cancer, blood disorders  and immune deficiencies

4.         It is Defendant’s responsibility as elected officials that once furnished with undisputed, undeniable evidence of the possible health risks to their constituents (consumers), to make the general public aware and to inform the appropriate State and Federal Agencies to investigate and file reports accordingly. Defendants have failed in all aspects, hence this action.  Defendants have further failed to encourage and/or inform the States, United States Attorney and/or the State Attorney General.  Defendants have further neglected to inform the offices of the Food and Drug Administration and other State and Federal agencies that they have the responsibility to carry out the task of inspection, information and enforcement on behalf of the health risks to consumers.

5.         Defendants have failed to stop wholesalers and/or retailers from false advertising, fraudulent labeling and sales of these adulterated products. There are other violations of laws that affect the safety and welfare of the people of their State and consumers throughout these United States.

6.         Defendants, as elected officials of the State of North Carolina, Arizona, West Virginia and other states are responsible to insure that proper enforcement of State and Federal agencies uphold labeling laws and regulations.  Defendant’s are responsible to see that the laws regarding packaging of these adulterated products are adhered to, and that  food products are made safe by identification  and warnings that certain chemicals, bacteria and toxins  can and will harm individuals, cause fetal damage in pregnant women, children and the elderly, or cause other reproductive harm.  These warnings must be publicized on each and every package, and at retail outlets of the fish species and circumstances that are applicable. These warnings

         shall apply to all restaurant menus, signs and other forms of advertisement   .

7.         Defendants, having been duly advised by Plaintiffs, show their disinterest, lack of concern and care for the people of the State of North Carolina, Arizona, West Virginia, and these United States.(Except just before each election).  Defendants continue to disregard the continued fraudulent sales of more than $800 million dollars to date and other shady business practices and thereby create unfair competition.  . 

8.         Defendants have failed to notify State and Federal agencies which are required by law to enforce clear and reasonable warnings on these products. The standards and regulations which are mandated to enforce warnings to the public that being exposed to chemicals are known to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm and furthermore that certain warnings and notices DO NOT appear on these imported food products including its origin. Fish which has been frozen and/or treated with chemicals that mask the true quality must contain fair warning to consumers. We in the past, have found these products are processed in environments that are extremely hazardous to the public’s health (see attached files) because the fish are processed by foreign countries. Many of these countries have large elements of the population that are extremely hostile toward these United States. The public has the right to know their food’s origin, and have the right to make a choice and furthermore have a right to know that they are buying foreign products.  The public need also be informed that they are providing financial support to these foreign countries

9.         Defendants have been duly informed that these raw products are shipped from a country where a high rate of disease and bacteria such as SARS exist, yet the product does not contain a label of origin.

10.      Defendants have in the past and are continuing to allow uninterrupted sales in stores and restaurants of these unsuspecting carcinogenic products.  Uncooked products continue to be sold as sushi and sashimi grade, meaning the product can be eaten raw (uncooked). Many of the shipping boxes that are discarded have warnings that say “do not eat this product raw.”  However, the consumers are precluded from access to these warnings.

11.      Defendants have been duly informed by Plaintiff Glynn Ross of these potential health risks facing the people of their state and the United States for several years and in early February 2003.   A notification was delivered by the House Senate postal service to each and every of the 100 Senators and 440 congressmen and women.  Each Senator and Congress person has been supplied with a complete and separate file of undisputed facts. Attorney General Goddard’s letter was hand delivered to his office with an extra copy for Attorney General Goddard personally. Attorney General Goddard has refused to return phone calls from close campaign workers who are concerned about this product and the sale of which is being deceptively sold as fresh product. Throughout Arizona.

12.      Products are being sold heavily amongst the Navajo and Hope Indian people as well.  The Indian culture is conducive with the consumption of smoked fish and meats due to the lack of refrigeration on the reservation.  Misleading packaging that merely states “tasteless smoke” is a blatant misrepresentation and out and out fraud.   The Safeway stores in Springerville and the Super Wal-Mart in Arizona which are known for heave Indian customer traffic sold these products this past week to Indian people who do not understand that they are buying adulterated fish.  The product they think they are purchasing is fresh fish and smoked fish but because of false advertising they are not purchasing what they intended to purchase.  They have no idea that it is a chemical treatment of carbon monoxide gas that makes the fish appear fresh.  The history of these people’s culture, due to lack of refrigeration on the reservation, is to survive on smoked fish and meat products.  Other unconfirmed reports show that the death rate of the Navajo tribe rose dramatically during the winter of 2003.  Many American Indians on the reservation have died from a type of bacteria that causes pneumonia.  I am reliably informed the mortality rate was significantly higher then, than in the prior years.                      

13.      We the Plaintiffs feel that the people of West Virginia, Arizona, (including but not limited to our Indian brothers and sisters), those of North Carolina and the electorate of these United States and the Hawaiian fishing industry deserve full disclosure of foods they are ingesting.   Plaintiffs include numerous families who make their living from the bounty of the ocean, fishing, and selling their fresh healthy product. (Which by the way is part of the Unites States? Let us not forget Pearl Harbor!)

14.      Defendants named herein include Senator John Edwards of North Carolina (D), Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard (D) and Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia

15.      Defendants sued herein as Does 1 - 100 and are not known by name at this time. Upon such time as these persons are identified this complaint shall be amended to address the proper names and capacities at that time.  The electorate of this people’s court of the public opinion shall be duly notified. This complaint will be modified accordingly as new information surfaces.

16.      Defendants have used their elected offices for individual and personal financial gains at the expense of the general public and at the expense of taxpayers from their individual states and of this United States.

17.      Defendants have further used their offices at taxpayer’s expense to create a high degree of deceptions to put forth an image of intellectual power and influence, for the sole purpose of re-election and to seek a higher and higher office in which to satisfy their personal political ambitions, goals and status.

18.      Defendants have been too busy engaging in their colorful speeches and satisfying their personal egos. They have failed to protect the health and safety of the people by whom they were elected and who they represent. Defendants have engaged in total non-performance of their obligated duties for which they were elected.  Defendant’s promises at the time they gave their oath of office became a moot point, except to further their own political agendas and aspirations.

19.      Defendants have continually engaged in critical remarks concerning the United States commitment in the war in Iraq and terrorists, contrary to their elected bodies’ unanimous vote of support as a body.

20.      Defendants have made critical remarks about our Commander in Chief in a manner that lends credence to the cause and philosophy of the world organized supporting terrorists. Defendant’s remarks have led to degrees of confusion to our coalition and our troops and have added strength to the terrorists while tearing down the morale of our troops.

21.      Defendant Senator Robert Byrd (D) and defendant Senator John Edwards (D) were both elected from states that have significant military personnel, families, and training facilities.  Strategies and morale developments are critical to military personnel and families.  Counter-productive statements made by these Defendants to achieve self-recognition are reprehensible conduct.  Plaintiffs have furnished to Defendants notarized statements, photographs, shipping documents and federal agency documents showing undisputed facts that imported adulterated fish products are sold at numerous super markets in their States and are sold to all consumers including military families. While these products not only pose significant health risks, these products may be providing financial aid to areas of highly concentrated groups of Muslim terrorists.

                                                     IV FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

22.      Paragraphs 1 through 21 are alleged as set forth above.

23.      Plaintiffs are informed and believe Defendants are elected by the people in each of their respective states.

24.      Each Plaintiff alleges and believes that Defendants have, in the course of carrying out their daily duties and responsibilities as elected officials are fully aware of circumstances 1 through 21

25.      Further records of the House and Senate postal service will reflect that Defendants have been properly notified by registered mail and that the verification by the House and Senate mail log will reflect that a full set of the documents attached hereto were placed on a CD and a CD was furnished to each of their respective offices and to staff in Washington DC. For their perusal.

26.      Defendants have been made duly aware of Paragraphs 1 through 21 and have failed to see that the proper enforcing agency provided the consumers with clear and reasonable warnings that the consumers are being exposed to significant health risks.

                                                          V SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION

 27 Paragraphs 1 through 26 is alleged as if fully set forth herein                 

28 Defendants, having been duly informed and made aware of these acts having been committed and have                         

        made no effort to rectify nor remedy this fraud; it is alleged that Defendant’s are considered to be

        committing and or supporting these fraudulent acts themselves. Therefore, Defendants have knowingly and

        willfully engaged in unlawful activities as elected officials and have broken their solemn promise and oath

        to the people.

       Defendants continue to breach the law of promise, the law of trust and their pledge to the people.

       These blatant, insidious infractions of trust to the people in each and every State named herein and   

        throughout out the United States shall render each defendant devoid of the required qualities to hold public

        office

                                    WE PETITION THE COURT OF THE PEOPLE FOR RELIEF

       WHEREFORE, we as represenitive of the PEOPLE and the Hawaiian fishing group pray that   

       Defendants named herein are found at fault for neglect and at fault for refraining from their reasonsibility's

       for which they are elected.

       These Defendants named herein be adjudged to have committed these acts of neglect and ignorance

        after having been duly informed, that it be adjudged further that the defendant’s be deemed to have

        been responsible for these acts themselves, causing sickness amongst their people and shall be judged

        harshly at election time.             

        THEREFORE, Defendants have concentrated and thought more about building their own image and       

intellectual power to achieve greater personal gains, status and power instead of meeting their responsibility to the People who elected them.

The people and the voters of the United States of America shall judge these Defendant’s useless to serve the public for which they were elected and shall defeat them at the polls.  The People shall send them  

         out of office with shame upon the their souls on behalf of each person who has suffered because of their

          neglectful malfeasance.

WHEREFORE, we further pray for the people to create a web site and utilize every avenue possible so that the people may communicate via the Internet to millions of others and thereby encourage the people to picket, pass out hand bills and in general notify the public at pre-election places of meetings in an effort to educate the public about the truth and what is really behind the Defendant’s Political agendas.  

When proven that Defendants named herein give more credence about building their own image and intellectual power to achieve greater Status and Power then protecting the people who elected them, then the people, the voters shall judge them inept and incompetent to serve as Public officials and the people shall defeat them at the polls on Election Day and accordingly send them home with shame, for all those who have suffered as a direct result of their inactions.
