Guest guest Posted August 30, 1999 Report Share Posted August 30, 1999 My son was a Lance Corporal in the Marines so I am not sure if the same rules apply. refused the shots, was court martialed, sentenced to 30 days in the brig and given a bad conduct discharge. He is home now. In the Marines, harrassment is illegal. To shut some of them up he would threaten to press charges. Of course when you don't do what they want a certain amount of harrassment is expected. But in the Marines if harrassment turns into hazing that is illegal. would read the Marine book of rules and regulations so he knew where he stood on things. He refused non-judical punishment. Because whether they get to punish you or not the end is the same. We are still fighting to get these shots stopped. will be in USA Weekend magazine Sept. 19. It is an insert in Sunday papers. He will also be in People magazine either this month or next. and three other's pictures are going to be used by Representative as a visual aid when he talks about stopping the anthrax vaccine. When you see the people you are harming they become real. We are trying to get as much publicity as possible to put pressure on the congress to pass these bills. I have petitions in two towns that I am going to send to congressmembers. I live in the Texas Panhandle and all three congressmembers have written letters on 's behalf but have not committed to supporting the bills. I am still working on them. Does your husband have a JAG lawyer? You might contact Mark Zaid at ZaidMS@... He will advise you for free. He practically represented for free but the court martial was so unfar that their was nothing Mark could do. The judge would not let him call any of our 40 + witnesses or present any of our evidence. My husband and I went to the court martial and the judge would not even look at us. Its not easy but your husband has done the right and the smart thing. has never doubted that he did the right thing. Now that he is out we can see that 30 days in the brig was a small price to pay for his continuted good health. If I can be of any help, let me know.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 1999 Report Share Posted August 30, 1999 Harassment is against the law, both in the military (all branches) and in federal law. Get the facts and get them good. Carry a miniature tape recorder if possible because the " company line " will be that you are trying for revenge. Next, file a federal law suit against that soldier (I refuse to call him/her an NCO). Don't file against the government but against the individual. You have civil rights and you have the power to enforce them.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 like our former president would ask " are you better off today than you were 4 years ago? " Re: Harrassment , Yes, someone can take your EXACT words and quote you and put it into their own website. You can't sue someone for libel if the statements they are making are true. If your words are quoted exactly then it's a true statement. However, if this website " about people like you " turns out to be defamatory to the group of " people like you " then you may have recourse. If the unwanted e-mails are bothersome, hit the " delete " key without reading. Don't waste your time or energy on them. We all have our opinions about WLS, including MGB, and are entitled to share them. None of us have represented ourselves to be weight-loss surgeons when giving our opinions to potential patients. All we have is our own experience. Shout your opinion from the rooftops with a really lound megahorn! Hugs, Bern TX MGB 7/24/00 248/167 > I know we have a lot of very smart people on this site so I have a question..... is it legal for someone to take our written words off this site or any other site and copy them to other sites? You know of course why I am asking this question. I just received another e.mail where she states " I am NOT going to shut up or go away. In fact, I am going to put EVERYTHING YOU WRITE on a website about people like you. " I would like to know if we have any recourse against her. > > I also have another question ---- has anyone heard me in the recent past encourage anyone to have this surgery? My standard opinion is to do your homework, research all your options and make the decision that is right for you - but whatever your decision the most important thing is knowledge of what you are doing. I try very hard not to steer anyone in any direction! If someone asks me for my story I give it as honestly as I can. > > Lord I am tired of having this debate!! > > in GA > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Harassment of any kind is unacceptable in the workplace, even if it's subtle and disguised with humor. Speak to your supervisor or someone in HR; if it is bothering you, it should be stopped.
