Californian behind calls against Morrison / LJWorld.com

Kansas and regional news

Call center owner was prosecuted by A.G.-elect

January 3, 2007

The 2006 election was two months ago, but Kansas voters are now getting a new wave of calls attacking Attorney General-elect Paul Morrison.

Several Douglas County voters have reported receiving prerecorded calls that claim Morrison is corrupt and has a criminal record. The voters assumed the calls came from Attorney General Phill Kline, who lost his re-election bid to Morrison.

However, the calls are originating from Conrad J. Braun of San Diego. Braun blames Morrison for legal troubles that date back to 1989.

He also owns a call center in California.

Braun's criminal record in Johnson County begins with a misdemeanor battery conviction in 1989, Johnson County court records show. Morrison was elected Johnson County district attorney that same year, and had worked in the district attorney's office since 1982.

Character defended

A spokeswoman for Morrison's office declined to address the specifics of Braun's claims, but issued a statement defending Morrison's character.

"Mr. Morrison has earned a reputation as one of Kansas' toughest prosecutors and as a leader of exceptional personal integrity. He has personally put hundreds of criminals behind bars. It is not surprising that one of them is upset with him," spokeswoman Ashley Anstaett wrote.

Morrison also does not have a criminal record.

Braun was prosecuted by Morrison in 1990 and 1991 for trespassing and in 1991 for making a criminal threat, according to Kansas court records. He was convicted and received sentences ranging from probation to one to year in prison for those offenses. Braun was also in and out of the Larned Mental Health Facility, prison records show. In addition to his time in state custody, Braun was convicted in federal court in 1994 for wire fraud and interstate transportation of funds obtained by fraud, federal appeals court filings show. Those charges stemmed from his operation of a private mint, where numerous people invested and lost money, in Kansas City, Mo.

Most recently, Braun was sentenced to 29 months in prison in late 2005 for blackmailing the new husband of his ex-wife. He was granted probation on the condition that he serve 60 days of "shock time" - a program meant to show a convicted individual what jail would be like. He is appealing the verdict.

When reached by phone in San Diego, Braun said he intended to keep calling Kansans until either he or Morrison "goes to jail."

Voters upset

That attitude has upset some Douglas County voters, many of whom are on the state's Do Not Call list.

"It's just disgusting. I thought we were through with the elections and wouldn't have to look forward to this for a few more weeks," said Ruth Hull of Lawrence.

J. Robert Kent, of Lawrence, echoed Hull's sentiments, as did Priscilla Ebel, who is on the Do Not Call list. Both Kent and Ebel assumed the calls were Kline's doing.

"It made me angry and I hung up," said Ebel of Baldwin City. "I don't know what the point of the call was."

A spokesman for Kline did not return messages left on his office and home phones.

According to Joe Molina, an attorney with the attorney general's office, the phone calls don't violate the Do Not Call law because Braun's not trying to sell anything.

"The best course of action is reporting it to the media," Molina said. He added that he would be looking into the matter, though he doubted he would be able to take any action.

Braun is using Homeytel, a calling company he owns in San Diego, to make the calls to Kansans.

Braun admits the federal conviction he received was legitimate, but he argues the state conviction stemmed from an illegal conspiracy and from Morrison hiding evidence Braun could have used in his defense.

Braun said he has no connection to the race between Kline and Morrison and intentionally chose to start his calling campaign after the election.

"We're going to keep hitting Kansas," Braun said. Morrison "needs to resign from office and I'm going to keep hitting him until he does."

Although Connie Braun may be a looney (And he is a bit of that!) the only “crime” of which he might be guilty here is libel and that would be a stretch.

His calls are specifically exempted by both the “Do Not Call Me” laws and the can-spam act.

His calss do not meet the legal definition of “SPAM”.

GCC:

Kushnir was killed because he owed Russian Mafia members money, not because he was a spammer.

Kushnir's killing was a hot topic on an industry forum for a while and many of the paraticipants were personally acquainted with him and knew the real scoop.

The Russians are experts at bulk emailing and do not care who does it.

A few of the Russkies are even can-spam compliant.

By the way, the can-spam Act does NOT prohibit the sending of certain kinds of unsolicted emails.

Much of what many of you recieve in your inboxes is actually not spam as you gave your email to someone someplace, who, in their terms of service, clearly stated that they would “share” you info with “partners”.

Every time you register a product, buy from most companies online, fill out a contest form or fill out a request for a freebie, you are generally giving your permission to recieve emails and those emails are can-spam compliant.

Thanks.

If you want to evaluate this issue, look at the text of the phone message that LJ World provided, and you will see that it makes no sense. His web site also provided by the LJ World is even more bizarre. He calls himself bumble bee or something.

He looks like an angry guy who got convicted of something and is trying to get even. Not very credible.

I am not sure this is even newsworthy.

No other papers are covering it so is it just in Douglas County or just too stupid to be covered. I think the AG is the one that monitors such calls. Maybe Morrison will get another shot at this idiot.

We also received the call,didn't listen to the whole thing. It just seemed surreal that after all the garbage of the campaign to have this happen now. We assumed the Kline supporters were behind it. Nice to know (apparently) that there are depths to which Kline won't go. It would be even nicer if he came out and condemned the calls.

“I got this call last night. Is there anything that can be done to stop him?”

What did he do wrong? Free speech is free speech.

I got the call this morning. I was intrigued because he identified himself and his purpose immediately, and then said I had the right to end the call, and to put my name on the no-call list for his company, and to exclude myself from mailings. Then there was a menu; if you want to continue, press this number, if not, press another….

I was intrigued by the up-front disclosure, so I listened.

Much of what he said was too vague for me to connect to anything I am familiar with. I did understand that, if Morrison does not resign, he will tell the world about Morrison. Something about, in Kansas, if you claim an official is corrupt, you can be charged with perjury, as opposed to being sued, personnally, for libel. He said that Morrison will charge him with blackmail, and then compared his actions to those of Cindy Sheehan's challenges to Bush.

This is very strange.

The real question is not about the topic, but the process.

How are “robo-calls” and “spam emails” leagal in the first place? These 2 violate the rights to privacy. And if anyone looks at judicial history “right to privacy” and “individual liberties” are supposed toi take precedence over “commerce” issues.

And NO do not lay this at Bush's feet, even if you do hate him. It is BOTH parties that kept these dispicable practices alive to fill their “fundraising coffers”, in order to have “free speech”.

Well, free speech ends at my doorstep, from there on in is MY world. And no politician should chaminion either of the robocalls or spammers coming into our homes.

If politicians were looking out for US this would happen. However, they are looking out for their own interests, therefore we loose.

Marion: Do a bit more homework, please. I would give the same advice to Joe Molina.

*************************************
What types of calls are not covered by the National Do Not Call Registry?

The Do Not Call provisions do not cover calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors, or companies with which a consumer has an existing business relationship. However, sellers and telemarketers should also be aware that the FCC regulates telemarketing calls. For more information, see the FCC's Web site, www.fcc.gov.

*************************************

Unless Braun is calling on behalf of a particular “political ***organization***” that he has started (and, presumably, *registered* at both the state and federal levels), then he is nothing more than a crackpot with access to a call center.

Braun says he will continue this until either he or Morrison is in jail.

My money's on Braun to be the first behind bars.

One person can be a political organisation, with or without governmental recognition, so this guy is most liekly well within his rights.

The calls simply do not fall under the pervue of the Don Not Call laws nor do they meet the requirements to be prohibited under the can-spam act.

I did not mention the First Amendment, although a case could be made and will be I suspect, that such prohibitions do indeed violate that clause.

C'mon Marion, we all realize there's a big difference between should and do. Even you and your scattered ramblings would agree that these calls have no merit and are nothing but a nuisance. Whether they “do” qualify as legal, they “should” be considered in the spirit they were intended. They are a mean-spirited rambling of an indicted individual who is, undoubtedly a sociopath who blames everyone else for his failures.

I realize that we have a ton of “Der Fuhrer Kline” apologists on this board, but, even those folks need to move on from the fact that the “Fuhrer” lost handily and it's time to let it go.

But we all know that they aren't willing or able to exit gracefully.

The problem with limiting the exercise of free speech, even commercial speech, is that at some point it not only isn't easy or cheap to enforce (do you want to pay a lot more taxes to help defray the costs associated with additional regulators' salaries and expenses to pursue violators?) there are Constitutional limits upon how far the government can go in prohibiting speech (no matter how objectionable it might be the majority). If the government could simply say “Stop saying that to people!!” don't you think it would have said that to a lot of people by now!? LOL.

Morrison may in fact have a strong lible suit option available against anyone who has publicly stated that he's had a criminal conviction (see http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/society… and http://injury-law.freeadvice.com/libe… for some information on what it might take).

However, even if he eventually won such a suit, unless this looney tune has lots of $$ to pay off the damage award, it would hardly be worth the effort….

Marion fantasizes:

“One person can be a political organisation, with or without governmental recognition, so this guy is most likely well within his rights.”
––––––––––––––––––––––

One or the more humorous things you've posted in a long time. Sure, you can print up a little leaflet and throw up a web site (for example, the extremist “freestatemedia.com” site used by Kline during the last election cycle) and call themselves a political organization. But when you start intruding on the rights of others, it's a whole different ball game.

Ultimately, the determination of a “political organization,” for purposes of the TSR (Telemarketing Sales Rule) is made in three steps:

1) The “letter of the law”

2) Enforcement of said law by appropriate executive enforcement of the law (in this case, the Federal Trade Commission)

3) The judicial branch, who will clarify the definition of a “political organization” in a court of law.

Admittedly, I'm having a bit of trouble finding the exact statute—but I'll keep looking.

I wouldn't advocate anyone using the information I found earlier today to make crank calls, harrassing phone calls etc.

I *would* encourage consumers who may wish to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission to use this link:

https://www.donotcall.gov/Complain/Co…

You will need to provide all the necessary personal information… including the approximate time you received the pre-recorded call.

The FTC regularly releases updates about complaints they have filed. I'll be watching their web site for new information in the weeks ahead.

Thanks.

If this guy wants to interrupt my time and my personal life, then I say we all call him and harass him. My time is very limited and valuable and I don't need this jerk off wasting any of it.

And for any of us with an ailing family member, everytime that phone rings unexpectedly my heart sinks as I run to it. That's why I'm on the do not call list and my home phone is only given to family members and friends. Now I have to deal with this loser that has nothing better to do than harass me because he's pissed about getting busted years ago Should all felons be allowed to call anyone they wish to complain about something or someone they don't like? In my book, that's harassment.

––––––––––––––––––––––-

oldgoof, I don't think anybody here—least of all, me—has suggested that Braun's right to free speech be infringed upon. Braun is more than welcome to (just to name a few)…

* take out ads in newspapers

* print and distribute, by hand if necessary, his own newspapers, leaflets, flyers, pamphlets, magazines etc.

* stand on the street corner with a big dayglo sign that says “paul morrison burns in hell” (or most anything else)

* put up another web site (separate from his business web site) and publish just about anything he wants

* publish a blog, or post comments to existing blogs

* post messages to forums such as this one

Braun is free to do this, and a host of other things.

The point in question here is: Given the current Telemarketing Sales Rule and Federal Do-Not-Call legislation, does Braun have the right to make unsolicited phone calls to people—especially cell phone calls, when the consumer *might* be charged by the minute?

The FTC web site is quite clear as to whom/what is exempt from TSR: “political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors, or companies with which a consumer has an existing business relationship.”

Braun is an individual—he is also the owner of a small business, HomeyTel.Com. If he is calling as a “political organization,” or on behalf of an existing political organization, he needs to make that clear. Currently, it is *NOT* clear. One way to make that “clear” is to register a political organization (Example: Cheryl Sullenger's “K-TIP” registration).

If Braun has not done this, then I submit that the FTC has reasonable grounds to bring suit against Braun, and levy the appropriate fines against him and/or his “organization,” assuming he has one.

The TSR does not violate the First Amendment.

That is my point. Only in Johnson County and only under Johson County District Attorney Paul Morrison with a little help from Judge John Anderson is this a crime. The charge was brought against me 3 days after Morrsion was served by the Sheriff for a mandamus to reveal concealed evidence used to falsely convict me at trial.

Acording to Paul Morrison Cinedy Sheehan is also committing Johnson County Blackmail.

At my character, engage in ad homniem attacks (the are far so long as they are true) but please examine the evidence.

Both the Department of Justice and the Kansas Attorney Generals's Office downloaded every page on www.fairtrialsinamerica.org before Morrison changed parties parties and announced for office.

Again fellas, downlaod and read the website. The crime I am committing is Johnson County Blackmail. It is a crime that does not exist except by Paul Morrison and under a twisting of the law by Judge Anderson. Interesting my case was not yet gone on appeal.

But I did 90 days jail time and am currently on probation because a jury convicted on an interpretation of a law by Judge Anderson that allowed Paul Morrsion to prosecute me for exercising a constituional right.

Essentially if a creditor threatens to report you to a credit bureau if you do not pay a bill, the creditor has committerd Johnson County Blackmail.

Again, this false charge and conviction at jury trial was brought against me 3 days after I filed a pro se mandamas against Morrison. Like so many politicians, it is not so much what Morrison did but rather the perjury, cover-up, and retaliation against to keep what he did under the blanket.

Do your homework and come back with intelliegent questions.

I see what you mean…….It is my understanding that blackmail requires extortion for something of value, at least in California where I am, but in your case there is no financial gain as that law would normally imply. Hmm, I guess asking for honesty with a threat of exposing someone is too much in Kansas. I thought that California was the backwards state.

Hey Tweakin:

First, if you don't want anymore calls simply email me your phone number or Press 9 and you will never be called again. Is that to difficult?

Second, what if the message was about Phil Kline corruption. I think your view may be clouded by your politics. And speaking of Kline, where was he for Karbino Kuel? Where has any of the press been while this young man sat in jail for 20 months when Morrison was given the evidence that no crime was committed? They did everything the could to have him plea to a lesser offense and deliberately postponed the trial until after the election. Where was any of the press on this story?

Third, you voted in an election where you simply did not have the information about Morrison's history. Everthing on the website is fully documented. Again, the Department of Justice downloaded the entire website before Morrison switched parties (so he was a Republican) and before he announced his candidacy for KAG. Strange coincidence. Let's see how it all plays. Don't be surprised to learn that Morrison jumped ship because the feds were already on his trail.

Hey Tweakin:

Not sure what you are saying. What I am doing is a litigimate channel. What Morrison is doing is not and the press won't cover it unless it is brought to their attention.

Because you don't like it makes it illegal? Sounds like Morrison thinking.

If I am wrong I need to be held accountable. If I am right Morrison needs to resign from all public office.

I don't know…..I think I like his idea though. A friend of mine sent me a link to this article because of my experience with the Dependency court in California. I won, but justice was not served. The social workers, lawyers, psychologist are all on the same payroll and the only one that will have any consequences is the term psychologist (who is likely to get hit for insurance fraud and malpractice). I used to think that justice is served in the courts, but I know that the facts of my case didn't matter, what did is that I threw more money at that case than anyone else that goes through that court, and they knew that any other ruling would have gone to the court of appeals in which those court proceedings would then become public. (Dependency court is otherwise a secret court as to protect the identity of a minor). I wish I had as much courage as Conrad, because they illustrated it perfectly to me when they said they would have dropped it if I hadn't hired an attorney outside of the county payroll (their payroll). Perhaps if I was in Kansas, I could get them for blackmail.

You are getting warmer. Glad to see you recognize voice broadcasting as a legitimate enterprise. By inference I thought you were saying it is unlawful.

The fact that it has gotten your attention and the media attention shows it is a very cost effective method to get a message out. You may not like the message. You may not agree with it, but it is effective.

It is Paul Morrison who is painting me as a nut case. Not the press. The press simply reported the comments from Paul Morrison's office. Read the LJW article again.

But FYI, I am a Kansas Certified Nut Case as well as The Kansas Serial Blackmailer.

Again, all the evidence is on the website.

Why was I in Larned? Again, do your homework. I was sent to Larned after within days after then Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephen reprimanded Gov. Joan Finney for providing my father and I information about letters secretly used in a revocation hearing. Stephen publicly and privately reprimanded Finney for disclosing this information claiming he had not done so for over 14 years. His comments are published in a Dec 1992 KC Star article. Under the law, any evidence used in a revocation hearing must be disclosed and Stephen admmitted he had not been doing this for 14 years as public policy!

Tweakin, a 3 minute phone call is not going be bring Morrison down. But public awarenesss will if you can get off the political agenda bandwagon and look at the hard issues involved here.

Get a small tape recorder and record the

Copy those three tones onto the beginning of your own personal voice message on your answering machine.

Here's the deal. Paul Morrison isn't making you call people and play a ranting, rambling message. Paul Morrison doesn't make you call yourself “bumble bee.” Those are the things that paint you as a nut case.

The reason the “media” isn't looking into these “illegalities” you allege Morrison to have engaged in is because there is no merit. Don't you think that, if there was, Kline would have latched onto them in the campaign? He was grasping desperately at straws like the supposed sexual harassment issue to try to make Morrison look like a criminal. Why didn't you bring these things to Kline? Why don't you bring these things up with the Justice Department? Why don't you bring these things up with the Kansas Bar Association or the Kansas Supreme Court?

My guess is it's because you actually *are* the nut case you seem to be, and you just can't get over having had to serve time. You'd think your disgust with the criminal justice system would make you more cautious than to test the boundaries of federal DNC law and telephone harassment laws like you're doing now.

It's hilarious to me that you say trust the system, when clearly the system worked just fine with you, but you're still mad.

Plus, like I said before, to be taken seriously, perhaps going by your name instead of bumble bee might garner you a bit more respect. Maybe not letting people know about these supposed indignities via telemarketing - quite possibly the most hated of all communications avenues.

Why in the world is it not a benefit to have been to law school? Because I can express myself without sounding crazy? Because I don't make up nicknames for myself? Because I don't dress up like insects and photoshop photos of myself in such an outfit onto the photos of public officials?

You're finally catching on if you realize your claims were dismissed because they lack merit. Focus on that. Examine its implications in your head for awhile. Just because you broke a law and suffered the consequences does not mean the Kansas judicial system is engaged in a protracted conspiracy to attack you. That's called a paranoid delusion.

Perhaps Black's Law Dictionary and the DSM-IV would be good reading. They might shed light on some of your many problems.

I certainly agree that just because I broke the law does not mean their is a protracted conspiracy against me.

But it does not follow that there is not a protected conspiracy (by many in the bar) as public policy in Kansas that is denying due process.

Perhaps you need to Shepard Title 42 USC 1985(2) before the semi-colon.

Grammatically, I think you meant “there is a protracted conspiracy,” not “their.” Their is possessive - a totally different word.

First, *you* seem to be confusing publicity stunts with the law. Calling everyone in Kansas because you're mad that no one else (not even the law) agrees that you were treated wrongly serves no purpose but to piss off everyone in Kansas.

Secondly, I use the tools I was taught each and every day, and I've used them in examining your argument. Citing that section of the US Code betrays your ignorance of a number of legal principles - federalism, for example, and state soveriegnty leap to mind. There is no denial of due process occuring anywhere in the events you allege occurred. There is prosecutorial discretion occuring, sure. Judicial notice and judicial discretion It happened entirely within the law, however.

I'm truly sorry that our national education system has failed you so sorely. Your understanding of due process is lacking - have you even consulted a lawyer over this? Did they laugh at you? Is that why you hate the legal system?

I think I've grown tired of engaging in this “discussion.” I've tried to appeal to your sense of rationality, but you seem to lack it.

Simply put; you're wrong. No one has wronged you. It's your own fault you went to jail. Dressing like a bumble bee makes you look stupid. Your website is merely a manifesto of your gripes with life and the legal system. Paul Morrison is an tough prosecutor and an upstanding attorney who will make this state proud. Telemarketing is an irritating and dying industry, so you might want to invest in education that will open doors up to you beyond “internet crackpot.”

guyonright - It might interest you to know that in law school, we were passively taught to understand that law is all that really matters - justice is NOT law.

To everyone else, I think it's disturbing that people want to silence Mr. Braun. A landline is like a home address, and this is political speech. Mr. Braun has every right to be doing what he's doing, and the only way any government can stop him, Constitutionally speaking, is if it has a compelling interest and uses the least restrictive, narrowly tailored means. What's the compelling government interest in shutting up Mr. Braun? Sparing you sixty seconds to answer the phone and get on his do-not-call list? Please.

Someone said they'd call the cops if they get another phone call. hahahahahaha! If the cops in Kansas could do anything at all to a Californian exercising his first amendment right to freedom of speech, there would be treble damages awarded to Mr. Braun under section 1983.

If you are open-minded at all you would be trying to figure out if there is merit to Mr. Braun's claim, rather than prejudging him based on your opinion of his style or stereotypes about convicted felons.

In my case law was not followed by the other parties. Fabrication of evidence, and admitted purgery during testimony from the other side was overlooked. A term psychologist was told that she would be taken off the county's “list” of approved term psychologists if she didn't make a wrong diagnosis. (What they didn't expect is that I had 5 PhDs and MDs testify on my behalf.) Even an expert witness (PhD) testified that the social worker had stated to her that all of the court proceedings were in retaliation to me not accepting the social workers terms. After the presentation of evidence against the social worker, the social worker then changes her story and purgers herself. The reason I won, is clearly that they did not want these transcripts to go outside that court; the whole thing was an embarassment to the system (Juvenille court records are not public unless it goes to appeal.) Everything that the San Diego Dependency court system was indicted of by the San Diego Grand Jury twice in the past, is still going on today. The California governer has sworn that he will have the funding of this system changed to overcome the corruption, I'm still waiting.

Bugmenot:

Procedure, prodecure, procedure!

Sorry to see you “bug out” on me. Are you really a bug or just staging a publicity stunt?

If citing my typos is your best shot then you really are not a match to spar with the The Bumble Bee.

I am a loving Bumble Bee and not about to give up and a fellow bug or cause you harm. But apparently I must shoo the bugs before I can clean up the crap. So let me draw you a roadmap to the rose garden.

First, there is no prosecutorial discretion for withholding evidence or bringing charges without probable cause or to prosecute someone for exercising a right protected by our constituion or retaliating against citizens for exercising a protected right.

Second, you are right about about state sovereingty. But because you are not doing your homework you missed the jurisdiction. When Mr. Morrison's office appeared in federal court in Kansas City, Missouri the feds have the jurisdiction over interfence with the administration of justice in federal courts.

Upon my release from federal prison I filed mandamus, a constitutinally protected First Amendment activity, Braun v. Morrison 03CV03933 to obtain the concealed evidence required to be disclosed in 1991. (See http://courts.jocogov.org/) Within 3 days after Mr. Morrsion was served he brought the phony blackmail charge against me Braun v. State of Kansas, 03CR1563.

The mandamus revealed no police record of the Leawood Police failed sting operation exists and the certain letters unlawfully concealed during a Kansas revocation proceeding mysteriously disappeared.

A jury convicted me of the “crime” of Johnson County Blackmail, a constitutionally protected activity everywhere in the Nation except in Johnson County under Paul Morrsion and Judge John Anderson, III. So I did 60 days in jail “shock time” for exerising a protected right.

Upon my release I filed mandamus Braun v. Morrison 05CV10026 calling for depositions and a hearing by calling the complaining witnesses and Leawood police in the original 1991 case.

The appeal on on the blackmail case is pending and Judge Tatum appointed counsel in the pending mandamus case.

So apparently a Judge Tatum and Attorney Bob Thomas believe my case has merit.

But why must we proceed? And waste more judicial resources?

Just say it ain't so Paul Morrison.But he can't and he won't. Had he not sought higher public office I could have waited for the system to run its course. But since Morrsion decided to escalate his corrupt game rather that quit we are destined to butt heads at a new level.

Incidentally, a Title 42 USC 1985(2) before the semi-colon conspiracy does not toll until the prior convictions are overturned and so cannot be brought until after the results of the mandamus.

Stay tuned.

Hi Son;

Sorry you still in the middle of this. I tried to warn you to get out of Kansas. But I am sure you are there for a reason.

Paul Morrison, your mother, your uncle, and the Leawood Police used you in a failed sting operation when against your own father when you were 9 years.
Maybe you can recall it. It was the last time we went to Camp Nash.

This was very nasty, but quite legal. The unlawful activity occured when Paul Morrison deliberately concealed this activity to secure my conviction. Later Paul Morrison's Office solicited letters from your two aunts that were secretly used in a revocation policy. When Governor Joan Finny provided me information of their existence, then Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephen reprimanded her publicly for disclosing the existence of this information to me saying this had not been public policy for 14 years! This was in 1992!

I wrote Govenor Finney and told her she needed to publicly reprimand Stephan for denyuing due process as public policy as public policy! (See Dec 1992 KC Star article at www.fairtrialsinamerica.org, documents section, blackmail of Tony Rizzo.)

Stephan was extremely worried about this becuse it literally effected thousands of past and present prisoners! So I was sent to Larned and certified as a Kansas nutcase and also ordered not to contact you, Aaron, and Jesse by Johnson County Distirct Attorney Paul Morrison citing the same court order as authority that was in effect when the when Morrison and the Leawood Police ran the concealed. So yes, I was in and out of Larned and Oswatamee by order of Morrison and Stephen without ever going to court, without due process, and without any finding that I was insane. But obviously the discrediting was complete even to this day and even with you, my son.

My business collapsed while unlawfully in Kansas prisons and I was indicted by the feds. The perjury, obstruction of justice, and retailation started when the culprits entered federal court, committing perjury and the concealing the same evidence again to deny me bond and to sharip enhanced my federal sentence. What a great way to bury the truth!

You had no father because of this unlawful public policy.

I certainly agree you should have been left out of this mess. But you weren't. A corrupt Leawood Police Department, a corrupt Johnson County Prosecuter Paul Morrison, and a corrupt then Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephen brought you into this nightmare and I am determined to expose them. Just when I was getting close they all changed stripes!

It is time those involved come forward with the truth, warts and all. The citizens of Kansas can avoid wasting more judicial resources if this corrupt officials and the individuals involved will simply come forward with the truth.

The truth will finally set you free from this lifelong trauma and set the citizens free of deeply embeddeed public corruption.

Conrad Jules Braun is the sole operator and owner of Homeytel. Like his Gold Standard Corp:

http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c…

On September 7, 1993, a grand jury indicted Braun for five counts of mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1341 and Sec. 2, five counts of wire fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1343 and Sec. 2, and five counts of interstate transportation of funds obtained by fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2314 and Sec. 2.

On April 21, 1994, Braun pleaded guilty to five counts of wire fraud and five counts of interstate transportation of funds obtained by fraud. During the sentencing hearing, the district court1 found that Braun, as the founder, sole owner, president, and manager of Gold Standard, was the organizer, leader, manager, and supervisor of the criminal activity. This finding resulted in an increase of two offense levels under United States Sentencing Guidelines Sec. 3B1.1(c). Braun was subsequently sentenced to 90 months imprisonment and ordered to pay $1,966,694.19 in restitution.

He has spent years in prison for parole violations, battery, crimianl threats, and trespassing. He has called numerous residents with automated messages and runs a telemarketing business:

Agent for Service of Process
conrad j braun
3065 rosecrans place
SUITE 210A
san diego, ca 92110

He has been sued for telemarketing in the past and has numerous complaints on the net. He has hundred's or complaints sitting at the FTC & FCC. He advertises under the keywords robo calls, telemarketing, and voice broadcasting in google. his ads typically say:

Robo Calls

For Less than 1 Penny Per Call
“Homey What?… … HomeyTel”
www.homeytel.com

So his company is a high volume annoyer. Please help, let's ban together to get his criminal activities and harrassment of the US population ended. He has badgered the citizens of Kansas and beyond for far too long.

If you've gotten a call from him while you were on the DNC list, you can file an online complaint about him here at the FTC:

For robo calls, you can file a complaint on him at the FCC here:
