Do todays people need FLAG?
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 1:49 am
Ok this is an odd question. Let me explain what I am asking here.
I'm not talking about KITT and Micheal Knight.
I am talking about an organization that helps ordinary people who have been, screwed by the system or perhaps their employer. People who have no place to turn to for help or guidence.
Here's an example.
A union president acting as union representative falls out of grace with the parent union.
The parent union drums up fake charges and ruin this persons repuation, in doing so they cost them their job.
Sounds like a law suit right?
What if no lawyers want the case? Or they want a huge amount of money upfront to file a lawsuit?
who can you go to?
What if you have a credit on your water or electric bill and the city sends you a bill that charges you $50.00 to put a lien on your house and $50.00 to take it off. A lawyer wants $1500.00 to take the case, spend $1500.00 to get back $100.00, is it worth it? no.
So who do you go to?
I guess I am asking do the american people need an agancy like FLAG, something that is free or resonable, but helps the helpless,and the powerless?
I worked in law enforcement for 25 years, you know something not all criminals break the law, some criminals twist the law to their advantage, just to screw you. You know just because the law says you CAN do something, doesnt mean you should.
So what the consensus folks?
If indeed such an agency existed would you use them?
Maybe the question should be does such an orgainzation exist and if so whats it called?
