Prison or Education? That's a choice some first time and repeat offenders will have in three East Texas Counties.
Judges from Nacogdoches, Center, and Henderson, Texas toured the region to promote youth preservation colleges.
It was once a segregated high school. This historic building has since taken on many names. Now it's getting a second chance, just like the offenders it will house.
"We can educate and train our parolees, our first time offenders to do those jobs to save America from paying more taxes on the recidivism rate," said Bishop L.J. Guillory, Ombudsman General to Ombudsman International, Inc. a not for profit United States Government Oversight Agency.
"I see the offenders that come before me that are first time offenders and you know, they make a mistake, but I believe in giving someone a second chance," said Shelby County Judge Rick Campbell.
Offenders can earn an Associate degree, or get their GED. Students can even study a specific trade. After graduating, students will return to court, to have their records erased.
"Our students, 17 through 24. Well you can make a choice, a conscious decision to go to college for two years and get an education, become a productive citizen, rather than a burden on the state or you can go to prison," said CEO, and creator of the school's curriculum, Dr. Merilyn Session.
"Their tuition's, their housing, their food. Everything is going to be paid for by the tax dollars that are already paying for them to be on parole or be in prison," said Guillory.
"They've got the grants to get the school up and running but organizers say this building still needs help."
"We need this place cleaned up. We need it painted. We need the roofs re-done, we need some maintenance work on the building that the grants are not going to cover," said Session.
With the community behind them, organizers believe the colleges will transform lives.
"Just show them we care and that we love them and they can become productive citizens again," said J.P. of Precinct 2 for Nacogdoches County, Dorothy Tigner-Thompson.
It will help those who've done wrong, make right.
Organizers hope the first preservation college can get underway by September.
Again, they do need volunteers to get this building ready.

What started as a life mission to help rehabilitate and reintegrate first-time criminal offenders into society has taken off and will soon lead to three accredited colleges and dormitories for men, women and juveniles.
The "Youth Preservation Colleges" will be in Nacogdoches, Center and Henderson and could be ready this year for first-time offenders to move into, but won't likely be opened as colleges yet, said Nacogdoches County Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Dorothy Tigner-Thompson
The Nacogdoches facility will be for women, the Center facility for men, she said.
Once the residents complete the program or receive their associate's degree, they can go back to the courts and ask for their records to be expunged so they can re-enter society with no setbacks, she said.
"It's for those women who are getting charged with Misdemeanor C and Misdemeanor B (offenses) to try to deter them from going to prison," Tigner-Thompson said. The programs are also for people with addictions and for first-time felony offenders, depending on the nature of the crime, she said.
The county judges in Nacogdoches, Henderson and Center are all supportive of the proposed schools, she said.
"This is a cycle, and when you see 90 percent of those people are revolving, then the only way to break that cycle is for someone to get involved and say, 'No, we're going to help you with housing, and we're going to help you with a job,'" Nacogdoches County Judge Joe English said. "Some of those obstacles they're facing on their own, there are now people that are helping them with it."
The colleges and dormitories
The home, which will house up to 12 women at a time, will be a place where they can learn how to fill out applications, go to job interviews, receive spiritual guidance and counseling and learn other life skills, Tigner-Thompson said.
Once the colleges are instituted, the people at all three locations will be able to receive their high school diplomas or associate's degrees, said Bishop L.J. Guillory, the Ombudsman General to Ombudsman International, Inc., the non-profit organization which is heading the program.
"We decided that what we would do to help curb people from committing future offenses, is that for first-time offenders re-entering the communities, that we would give them an opportunity which many felons are not afforded," Guillory said. "That is No. 1, housing and then education. Many felons are denied federal and state housing, employment and grants for college."
Angelina County's Dr. Merilyn Session is working to get the schools accredited and will be a teacher there once it all comes together, Guillory said.
"We feel with a clean record and a degree in hand, these young people will have a fighting chance to make it," she said in a prepared statement. "Most paramount, we move them from wards of the court to taxpaying, productive citizens."
Each dormitory and college will have strict rules and a daily schedule, Judge Tigner-Thompson said.
"At the time they come out (of jail), we will be there to house, feed and counsel them" at no cost, she said.
In return, each resident must attend scheduled meetings, show improvement and do their fair share of cleaning, cooking and other work, she said.
Funding
The three locations have been supported through various outlets, organization treasurer Anita Farr said.
"The building (in Nacogdoches) was donated by me, the funding we have received thus far has come from the Deep East Texas Council of Governments and local businesses," she said.
In the future, the colleges will be supported through donations, grants and federal Second Chance Act monies, she said.
"In fiscal year 2010, $114 million was appropriated for prisoner re-entry programs in the Department of Justice, including $14 million for re-entry initiatives in the Federal Bureau of Prisons and $100 million for Second Chance Act grant programs," according to the National Re-entry Resource Center, which supports the successful return of prisoners to the community.

Bigot and Racist David Bellow
Racist Vs. Obamacare
President Barack Obama Wins
Bellow v. Sebelius
District:
Eastern District of Texas
Plaintiffs:
Michael David Bellow, Jr.
Defendants:
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius,
U.S. Department of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner, U.S. Department of Labor,
and Hilda Solis
Judge:
Ron Clark, Referred to: Magistrate Judge Keith F. Giblin
Case number:
1:10-cv-00165
In this case, Bellow, a private citizen, argues that Congress does
not have the authority to mandate health insurance or pay a penalty. Therefore,
the federal government has violated Article I of the Constitution and the Tenth
Amendment. Congress does not have the power to issue a direct tax on the
states, a violation of the framework of Article I, Sections 2 and 9. Also, he
argues that accessing the health insurance history of each person is an
encroachment of their privacy secured by the Fourth Amendment.
Status: This
lawsuit was filed pro se . On August 30, the Plaintiff requested additional
summons to correct a deficiency in their service. The Plaintiff had filed
letters with the Court regarding the Defendants’ failure to answer.
Finally on November 29, the Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss. The
Plaintiff filed a Response, and on December 20 filed a Motion for Summary
Judgment.
On January 5, 2011, Defendants filed a Motion
to Stay (Stay of Briefing of Motion for Summary Judgment) because they have
brought a jurisdictional challenge before the court and do not want to discuss
the merits of the case until the jurisdictional questions are answered.
On June 18, 2011, the court dismissed the
case on the grounds that the Plaintiff lacked standing to bring the case.
David Duke and David Bellow's Southern Style: “We Hate Blacks in the South” Non- Whites in the Republican Party Say . . . Bishop L. J. Guillory, Republican For 25 Years
The Republican Party has become “The Party” that supports
Bigotry and Governmental Obstructionist views and tactics. I have been a Republican for 25 years. I have watched the Republican Party be
destroyed first to those who wrote big checks and now The Party is giving up to
those who control loud obnoxious groups (Tea Party -members). The Fox News
Network, Internet Bloggers and other forms of Media have also played a role in
this odious Hijacking of the True Republican Party.
Sad to report; The New- 'Republican Party’; “White Racist
Men, are Using Bigotry and Elitist Ideals that seem to have Galvanized American
White Male Voters.” In Fact: One Texas
Republican Party Executive-Committee Member David Bellow is now using the
tactics of David Duke, the most recognizable figure of the American Radical
Right, a Neo-Nazi, longtime Klan Leader and now International Spokesman for
Holocaust denial. Most can remember
until David was stopped by the NAACP, ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center as well
as other National Civil Rights Organizations; he had won election to
Louisiana's House of Representatives and once he was even nearly elected
Louisiana's Governor. David Duke also
founded an organization: The National
Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) – a “Klan without the
sheets.” Well, David Bellow is on his
way to prove that poor whites without jobs, education, or health benefits will
still follow a message of hate and even blindly give their support to a person
and party who could care less about them.
David Bellow, who has talked his way into the Texas
Republican Party Executive Committee, only using his National Guard Status and
his hate for blacks (President Obama).
He was the white racist who used internet blogs to push whites in
Jasper, Texas to attack Blacks on The Jasper City Council in order to fire
Jasper's first African American Chief of Police. David Bellow like David Duke is proud he can
insight others to hate based on race.
David says, he wants to “Take Back America from the Black Man.” In his own words, “I have a passion to stand
up and get people excited.” “That is
what the Republican Party NEEDS!” “In a
time where Republicans are poised to take back America (Thanks to Obama) we
must not be complacent. We must be bold
and be loud and get people excited and push forward to victory.”
Some Americans believe that we have re-visited “Racism in
America,” far too much in recent years and post the 2008 Presidential
Election. Where America's First African
American President Barack Obama, made history as the 44th President
to the United States of America.
However, there are few Americans who seem willing to honestly discuss
the racist reprisals taking place across the nation, particularly in mostly
southern republican lead states. Much of
that racism and abuse that African Americans and other minorities are being
subjected to, even voters rights
violations of law, are due in part to a plan that took place in Washington,
D.C.
In 2008 Robert Draper's much-discussed and
heavily-reported new book, Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House
of Representatives.” According to
Draper, the guest list that night (which was just over 15 people total),
included Republican Reps. Eric Cantor (VA), Kevin McCarthy (CA), Paul Ryan
(WI), Pete Sessions (TX), Jeb Hensarling (TX), Pete Hoekstra (MI), and Dan
Lungren (CA), along with Republican Sens. Jim DeMint (SC), Jon Kyl (AZ), Tom
Coburn (Ok), John ensign (NV), and Bob Corker (TN). The non-lawmakers present included former
House Speaker Newt Gingrich, several years removed from his presidential
campaign, and Frank Luntz, the long-time Republican wordsmith. For several hours in the Caucus Room (a
high-end D.C. Establishment), the book claims they plotted out ways to not just
win back political power, but to also put the brakes on Obama's legislative
platform. “You will remember this day,”
Draper reports New Gingrich as saying on the way out. “You'll remember this as
the day the seeds of 2012 were sown.”
Now racism and Open Bigotry are nothing new in the
south. In fact, just a few months ago in
Jasper, Texas the world found out Jasper's still as racists as ever!
It's our custom,
here in the South, here in Jasper,” said Albert Snell, an 80 year old retired
teacher, who is white and a member of the local cemetery's board of
directors. “We have the same cemetery,
but we don't mix the white and black graves.
They're separate. Put a black up here? No, no we wouldn't do that. That would be against our custom, against our
way of doing things.”
Jasper, Texas is known for its troubled history when it
comes to race. In 1999, the town's first
black highway patrolman, Rodney Pearson, was on the scene when a black man
James Byrd, Jr. was dragged to death by three white supremacists. A little more than a decade later Pearson was
appointed by the Jasper's City Council as the First Black Police Chief. The racism he witnessed more than 10 years
earlier in Jasper, showed up at his home.
He was attacked and fired, proving hate and racism is still very much
alive today and working well in the south.
Thanks to David Bellow aka Michael David Bellow, Jr., a Texas State
Executive Committee Member, who has become the David Duke of the Texas
Republican Party. And is allowed by law
to disseminate hate all over The State of Texas; but, nowhere more transparent
and supported than in East Texas.
Like David Duke, David Bellow has found a way to write
hateful blogs and newsletters to receive the support from those left wing white
supremacist who need to see a white male out in front saying the things that
mainstream Americans refuse to say, even if some still have those odious
bigoted thoughts. It is only a matter of
time before this Bigot starts running for Congress like David Duke and if
allowed he will be elected in East Texas.
Because David believes that all Black people should be re-enslaved or
put in prison. David Bellow is a 'Great
supporter of the Lock Them-Up Ideals,' quickly re-emerging among republicans
who have received large donations or employment from the prison industry.
