<br />then I have to go in and I have to file complaints and play the jerk. And I
<br />had to do this seven or eight times in the last two years after I got hurt
<br />really, really badly. I come to you guys to ask you to get involved. Now I'm
<br />asking, there are five people, including you Mr. Measmer, that was on the
<br />board of directors overseeing the Cabarrus County Department of Social
<br />Services. I now understand that it's changing over. That there's new people
<br />coming in. But you're still the people that are there. So, I'm willing to
<br />give you the opportunity to show me that you really want to solve this
<br />problem. Ben Rose is the wrong person to run the Department of Social
<br />Services. He isn't running that place. He's letting his female staff members
<br />run this place. And they're afraid to do anything to solve this problem for
<br />the very simple reason that if they go to a black woman and they say, you
<br />can't be yelling and screaming at people you don't like, you can't be denying
<br />them help, then they get called a racist and that prevents them from being
<br />promoted. We have to get past this problem. I'm going to go one step
<br />farther. To show you how badly that place is ran, I got involved in an
<br />organization through them called the Community Free Clinic, which is paid for
<br />by, I think it was Community Care of Southern Piedmont. It turns out that
<br />Mrs. Trisha Baker, who's overseeing the food and stamp part of the DHHS also
<br />is on the board of directors for this organization. At that time, I had a
<br />brain tumor. I did not realize I had a brain tumor. I only knew that I had
<br />really bad head pains and that I couldn't get anyone to help me find out why.
<br />Several doctors at CMC Northeast knew I had a brain tumor but they did not
<br />tell me. They kept it a secret. And I went to the Community Free Clinic.
<br />Grace Lee, a nurse practitioner, also did not tell me. In my original papers
<br />going in there, they mentioned that I was complaining of serious head pains.
<br />But right afterwards, they kept it out. They no longer talked about head
<br />pains. I then found that five million dollars is coming from the state of
<br />North Carolina, going to this program, the Southern. Piedmont. And they use
<br />that money allegedly, to provide medical treatment for people in Cabarrus
<br />County. Well, it turns out that there's a possibility that Gerald Mack, who
<br />is the operations manager for that, was involved in a scam with CMC Northeast
<br />in which they were funneling all five million dollars directly and strictly to
<br />the hospital. It seems that when I started mentioning to them that I was
<br />going to go to another organization, another medical provider, to have my head
<br />looked at, an organization that would have been paid for by CCP, they threw me
<br />off the program. I kept trying to ask them why did they throw me off. And
<br />they gave me varying reasons. They said I did not follow a plan of order.
<br />But after many letters, they would never tell me what that plan of order was
<br />that I didn't follow. I went to Fletcher Hartsell, our republican Senator to
<br />ask him to help me solve this problem. He said I can't because I'm on the
<br />Board of Directors for the Community Free Clinic. I went to Trisha Baker. I
<br />asked her. I says, about the problem. She couldn't help me, she was on the
<br />Board of Directors for CCP. And I kept asking CCP, why didn't you tell me I
<br />had a brain tumor? And they would never answer that question. But yet Mrs.
<br />Baker, who oversees the food stamp part of DHHS is on that board of directors.
<br />She couldn't have found out that answer why they not only would not tell me I
<br />had a brain tumor, but would not have paid for my treatment and would instead
<br />throw me off the minute they found out that I'm going to somebody who's going
<br />to suck money away from CMC Northeast. Now, just to give you guys an example
<br />of how mad I am, I'm going to sue you for two million dollars unless somebody
<br />shows me that they're serious. I'll give you one week. Then I' 11 go down,
<br />I'll file the papers. I don't need a lawyer. I'm a smart enough man to take
<br />you into court. I'm asking you to help me solve the problem. I've come here
<br />as a nice guy a couple of times trying to get this problem solved, now I'm
<br />going to be a jerk. One week, I want to see somebody sit down with me. Now,
<br />I've had a conversation on the phone with the County Attorney, Mr. Koch, about
<br />the situation. One last thing, I know I'm over my time, but this is to show
<br />you how bad it is at DHHS. I went in there and was politely asking a lady a
<br />question about the name of another person. I have chemical poison, I cannot
<br />read the name tags. I had a bunch of illegal aliens gang up on me in the
<br />workplace and harm me very seriously because I speak Spanish. They don't like
<br />Spanish - speaking Americans that aren't Hispanic working with them. And I went
<br />in there and I was asking her nicely what the name of this lady who was down
<br />here who I had watched discriminate against thirty white people over the years
<br />and she didn't know. So I said that's fine, don't worry about it. And the
<br />woman next to me began to attack me, verbally attack me. A woman I never met
<br />before in my life and never seen before. And I ignored her. As I was leaving
<br />I looked at her and she began to verbally attack me again. So I came back
<br />later and I had a conversation with a supervisor. And then a couple of weeks
<br />later I get a letter telling how I was standing up in front of all these
<br />people making racial slurs and saying how much I hated black people. I never
<br />said any of those things. But that's what comes out of DHS when it is corrupt
<br />and incompetent and badly managed. I'm not the only white man who's ever had
<br />this problem_ There are hundreds of white people who have had this problem.
<br />I'm the only one with the courage and the tenacity to come up to you and let
<br />
