1) My TSTA rep didn't make a meeting on March 9th, and never
    bothered to tell me she wasn't coming....I happened to
    go by their offices at closing time the day before at 5:00
    p.m. and they told me that she wasn't going to be there
    and they acted like that it was no big deal and the meeting
    would just be delayed until "whenever". Well, "whenever"
    would be at the earliest on March 19th because of Spring
    break. They said no one could cover for her either. I called
    Austin the next morning demanding that someone cover for
    her. They sent a guy who tried hard, but he was completely
    unfamiliar with my "case".

2) The lady who missed the meeting was "MIA" on me for the
    next two weeks! Wouldn't return my calls, wouldn't forward
   me any information through other UniServ reps, etc.
   (UniServ is the name TSTA (NEA) gives to their pathetic reps)

3) I finally saw her again on March 26th when I walked into a
    meeting and she was the rep there........No one told me it
    was going to be her there! The woman who had let me down
    for two weeks was now the one "representing" me out of the
    blue against administrators as corrupt as TSTA!

4) These "people" (TSTA reps) were going by 1990 grievance
    regulations and didn't know many of the new rules! (1990
    guidelines were in my file after I quit TSTA)

6) Another UniServ rep called me one night and asked if I would
    need a rep at a meeting the next morning....... I called back
    and told his wife "no" was the answer to his question. He
    called back to verify that I had said "no". Well, the next
    morning, there's a rep there! I had decided to get an attorney
    for that meeting and it was none of TSTA's business, but they
    acted like I had deceived them! And, about me telling them
    NOT to send someone? Here was the guy's response to his
    boss: "He wanted someone there with him. We delivered."
    (This bold-faced lie was also left in my file. Stupidly left for
    me to discover).

7) TSTA NEVER informed me that I could take my evidence of
    corruption and other rights/law violations directly to Level III
    of the silly undemocratic Fort Worth grievance process. So,
    I piddled around for many weeks at Levels I and II trying to get
    things done.........

8) When the incompetent and apathetic female rep above found out
    that I had called her boss in Austin about her pathetic "service",
    she left the following message on my machine: "Calling Austin
    only gets you referred back to me." Arrogant to say the least.....

9) In another memo I uncovered when I quit TSTA and picked up
    my file, the "lady" mentioned in number 8 slandered me to no
    end! In her desperate red herring efforts to distract her boss
    from her incompetence and apathy, she stated lie after lie about me!

10) She falsely stated to her boss that I was a physical threat to 
     the corrupt administrators and teachers at my school. She
     said that they were afraid that I'd "show up at school and go
     ballistic." I have taught 7 years and I have NEVER
     threatened anyone with violence and never committed violence
     against a co-worker! RHLA should be their name, not TSTA!
     (Red Herring Liars Association!)

11) Further on in her letter, she reported to her boss what she had
      told the lead TSTA rep at my school: "I told her she should share
      that ("that" is in reference to completely unfounded and slanderous
     "violence threats" above) with the principal or asst. principal so they
     could be on the lookout for him and could alert security people."
     Not exactly "in the best interest of the client" eh? Well, my rep
     at school admitted to my attorney that she had indeed "warned"
     school officials to be "on the lookout" for me! I have spent around
     2,000 in dues these last 5 years for TSTA (NEA) to represent me.......
     What a waste!!!!! The school rep also admitted to my attorney that
     she knew of no concrete facts to be labeling me as a threat.
     Because there are no facts, concrete or otherwise!

12) I talked to a TSTA related attorney one day on the phone. He called
     TSTA offices inquiring about why I had called. In her letter, this is
     what my rep "weaved" out of his call: "I got a call from Daniel (atty)
     saying he had called him looking for an attorney. I told him it had
     not been referred to Austin yet (I never claimed it had been!) and the
     man (me) was a little unstable. He (atty) agreed." Have you ever
     seen such slander! I called the attorney she was talking about and
     he had NEVER even discussed me with this rep before in his life!
     He had talked to someone else about my inquiring of him, not her!

13) Well, once I received my files that further documented TSTA
     corruption: slander, apathy, cover ups, etc, etc, I sent their
     headquarters all of the documentation and a letter about how
     I felt about their corruption and the "all talk-do nothing"
     realities of their organization. I asked them if they were too
     busy at union puppet political fund raisers or were too busy
     partying on 6th street to help clients! (6th Street is a UT party
     street)

14) Also in my files, were many other lies from two other TSTA
     members trying to desperately "red herring" their way out of
     consequences for their pathetic "service" of me! Too many to
     go into right now......

15) Well, when I sent the letter to their headquarters showing all of
      the evidence I had of their corruption, their lead attorney
      certified mailed a very threatening letter to me. Here are a few
      of the quotes:

A) "You do not have the right to defame TSTA or
     personally harass our staff." Reporting completely factual
     and well documented facts of corruption and slander is not
     defamation. And how did I harass her staff? There was no
     "harassment" by me,and their scare tactics attorney
     knows it.

B) She (attorney) further states "the threats you have made". Threats
     of legal action for their corruption, yes! Physical threats? NO.

C) Later in the TSTA (NEA) attorney's letter, she states that "you would
     appear to reflect a person who has some serious psychological
     difficulties." Getting pissed off at corruptive lying do-nothing idiots
     DOES NOT make me a "head case". And the way the attorney
     wrote it "appear to reflect" is her pathetic attorney way of covering
     her ass for slandering me with the "psychological difficulties"
     part!

D) After all the facts I presented to the contrary, indisputably documented
    facts I might add, their attorney goes on to say "Our organization does
    the very best it can to effectively represent its' (<-----atty spelled
    it that way) members and has worked long and hard to create and
    maintain it's (< ---again, it's, its are more difficult to learn than
    I thought) good name." That bunch of ________ stinks, I mean speaks, for
    itself.

E) Here's where the threats start.......She states: "We will take whatever
    steps are necessary to defend it (good name) and our staff." Unions haven't
    always used legal steps to silence whistle blowers, now have they? And
    she doesn't even say legal steps, she just says "whatever steps". I asked
    her to clarify what exactly "whatever steps" means in a letter to my
    attorney, and, believe it or not, she didn't respond.......

F) Then the threats keep going.....The closing paragraph states "The purpose
    of this letter is to put you on notice that, if you do not cease and desist
    these actions, we will not hesitate to seek a restraining order (what have I
    done to be restrained from? Exposing corruption can get me a restraining
    order from the police dept?) against you in a court of law and/or file a
    defamation suit and take any other actions deemed necessary to protect our
    organization and it's staff." (again, that word its/it's is very difficult
    for this attorney......I'm sure the judges get a kick out of her often
    misspelled depositions, etc!) Again, reporting documented corruptive
    practices is NOT a violation of defamation laws, period.
