Mr. XXX, Esq., Chief Counsel House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct HT-2, The Capitol U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515

July 15, 2004

Dear Mr. XXX,

Pursuant to Rule 15 of the Rules of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, the following letter constitutes a proper Ethics Complaint against my Representative in the House, Carolyn B. Maloney of New York.

Rule 15(a)(1): Name and Legal Address of Party Filing Complaint

XXX XXX XXX

Rule 15(a)(2): Name and title of respondent

Carolyn B. Maloney, Member U.S. House of Representatives

Rule 15(a)(3): Nature of Alleged Ethics Violation

1) Representative Maloney committed fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1018 by “knowingly mak[ing] and deliver[ing] as true” a writing containing knowingly false statements to the Secretary General of the United Nations, in her capacity of an officer of the United States, in an attempt to secure a contingent of U.N. election observers to monitor the 2004 elections, a violation of our national sovereignty.

2) Representative Maloney committed fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001(a) and 1001(c)(1) by knowingly and willfully making and using a false writing which knowingly contained false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements to procure services from the United Nations, i.e. said letter to the U.N.

3) In signing her name to said letter, Representative Maloney violated House Rule XXIII by failing to conduct herself in a manner that reflects creditably on the House.

Rule 15(a)(4): Facts that give rise to the above violations

In a letter to Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, dated June 30, 2004, Representative Maloney knowingly and falsely alleged U.N. observers were necessary to ensure a free and fair election due to, inter alia, a massive disenfranchisement and intimidation of African-American voters, and other minorities, in the 2000 Elections. These premises are demonstrably false. As Peter Kirsanow, member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, has reiterated in a letter to the New York Post, dated July 15, 2004:

The six-month investigation of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights found absolutely no evidence of systematic disenfranchisement of black voters. The investigation by the Civil Rights Division of the Department also found no credible evidence that any Floridians were intentionally denied the right to vote in the 2000 election. . . . In fact, Florida 2000 was not a startling anomaly. Ballot-spoilage rates across the country range between 2-3 percent of total ballots cast. Florida’s rate in 2000 was 3 percent [not outside the normal range of ballot-spoilage].

Using selective and misleading quotes from a thoroughly discredited 2001 report of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Representative Maloney creates the false impression of the veracity of the fictitious premises listed above. Further, Representative Maloney made and used this false and misleading writing in the hopes that the United Nations would, in reliance on these material falsehoods, send U.N. observers to our polls on Election Day. These enumerated frauds are clear violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1018 and 1001.

Further, in her letter to the U.N., Representative Maloney asserts that the 2000 Presidential Election was “finally determined by the Supreme Court which prevented further counting of the votes.” This statement is demonstrably false and is intended to create the false impression that President Bush was not the legitimate winner in Florida in 2000. This is a myth perpetuated for the sole purpose of creating minority resentment against the Bush administration and racial unrest. Such blatant race-baiting by Representative Maloney is hardly conduct that reflects creditably on the House.

In fact, every single vote count, including those by a media consortium using the Gore standard, unequivocally establish that President Bush won Florida. To merely insinuate otherwise is a blatant lie.

Conclusion

As Representative Maloney has behaved in an unacceptable, unethical manner – violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 1018, 1001, and House Rule XXIII – Representative Maloney must be formally admonished, or expelled, by/from the House of Representatives and the House Committee must refer her violations of federal law to the Department of Justice for further action.

Sincerely,

XXX

Cool!

This is a wonderfully worded letter. However, can you tell me if this is a real letter or just someone jerking our collective chain? Please let me know. I can get behind someone on something like this, were it to be true.

Do I detect a FReeper's hand in this?

Would you perhaps be a resident of Ms. Maloney's district?

[jmstein7]

It's true.
