		<description>Part of My letter to Senator Bruno:

I am writing to you because of your position in NYS Senate and your extensive background in State government.  I am living on Social Security Disability for work-related depression.  I was and am entitled to NYS disability retirement.  Please help me.

Eliot Spitzer was forced to resign as governor of NY after it was revealed that he has been involved with a prostitution ring. I am thankful that Governor Spitzer true character has finally been exposed.

Eliot Spitzer was the Attorney General of New York State when a member of his staff, Mike Russo, Assistant New York State Attorney General, filed seven perjured declarations in federal court. G. Goncalves, Diversity Management, Mike Russo, Superintendent A. Andrews, Sergeant William Reed, James Berbary, Deputy Superintendent of Administration, Mary Beth Lindsay, Senior Personnel Clerk and Lee Gould, Director of Personnel signed the perjured declarations. 
 
The perjured declarations were filed to prevent a jury from ruling that the Defendants violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended.*** I believe that by filing the perjured declarations New York State Attorney General’s Office also victimized me. Spitzer’s staff engaged in questionable methods to deny a victim of discrimination and retaliation her day in court. 
 	
 The New York State Attorney General’s Office can’t be allowed to enforce the anti-discrimination mandates of Title VII with other employers and file perjured declarations in a case where New York State Department of Correctional Services and New York State Department of Civil Services are the defendants. The poor, women, minorities, and the mental ill expect the New York State Attorney General Office to protect the Civil Rights of all New York State citizens. 

I contacted the United States Justice Department and at their telephone request e-mailed extensive documentation on May 29, 30, and 31, 2005. 

In July 2005 Jane Wolfe and Allison Gioia both United States Justice Department attorneys, reviewed my perjury allegations and direct evidence supporting the allegations. The United States Justice Department informed me that they were referring my case to the FBI for an investigation. I telephoned the FBI and was told that they could not confirm or deny the fact that my allegations were being investigated because of confidentiality rules.
	
In November 2007, I published “A Case of Racial Discrimination and Retaliation Real or Imagined.&quot; Description of my book: My life is an American story. As an underdog born into poverty I managed to achieve my dream of graduating from college and having what should have been a great career with New York State Department of Corrections. My dream and my life were shattered by employment discrimination.

Spitzer was aware of my case because I mailed him copies of my appeals to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and the US Supreme Court. On December 21, 2007, I mailed a certified letter return receipt requested to Governor Spitzer.  The letter was received by at the Governor’s office on December 27, 2007.  Governor Spitzer did not responded to my letter.</description>

		<description>Wow, a politician got caught patronizing prostitutes, how utterly unusual and horrible, just like Hitler or Stalin. His values were totally warped, paying 4K for sex he could have gotten for $100 bucks in Albany, big liberal spender!</description>

		<description>Spitzer was a thug who used the Attorney General&#039;s office to go after people on Wall Street who had committed no crimes.  Whatever good he may have done was overshadowed by this abuse.  Were he my neighbor, I&#039;d have shunned him long ago.</description>

		<description>we won&#039;t know how Spitzer is doing in his own private hell for quite a while.  Chuck Colson,for example, went to jail, etc. for his role in Watergate, and it has turned out in the ensuing DECADES that he has sincerely become a Christian is attempting to do good things in this life.  Profumo, British Member of Parliament, caught in a sex scandel cum spy thing and then LYING in Parliament... apologised and then went and worked in a soup kitchen in the slums for years.</description>

You misunderstood.  I do not despise the Founding Fathers.  I despise our two party system, the one that the Founding Fathers warned against.</description>

		<description>Who knows what this couple is/has been going through? 

We all understand that guys have needs. We all have needs, right? But he didn&#039;t just cheat with his wife&#039;s gf or someone at his office. He spent a fortune on prostitutes. I can&#039;t imagine which is worse. I heard the other day that 20 percent of married individuals cheat. I&#039;ve been severely tempted but realized that walking away from temptation is easier in the long run than walking away from your family, your friends, and your reputation.

It would be easy to say that the fact that Spitzer went to prostitutes showed that he was only looking for sex, not for love. But sex is one of the most complicated of all relationships, and I think he unintentionally fell in love/lust/infatuation with the hooker he repeatedly paid so much money to visit.

My, how the tables have been turned in the eyes of society. Now he has been driven from office in shame and she is the one who is on top of the world. (For a while she was probably as heavily Googled as Janet Jackson right after her wardrobe malfunction, or Britney Spears after she &quot;inadvertently&quot; opened her legs in front of a bazillion camera flashes while exiting her car.)

It isn&#039;t that the world loves a slut any more than they love a slimeball. It&#039;s just that inquiring minds always want to know, &quot;What does she look like?&quot;

I wish Spitzer and his family well. But I doubt that this story can ever have a happy ending.</description>

		<description>I think its time for Eliot Spitzer to pull a Kobe to show his appreaciation for Silda with a little special bling.
Eliot come on over to Beladora.com and get the &quot;Spitzer Special&quot; a 5 carat D-Flawless.

And Brian Johnson, despising the Founding Fathers, dude that&#039;s harsh!</description>
