Secretary Perdue Applauds President Trump’s Selection for USDA’s Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment
(Washington, D.C., April 14, 2018) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue today applauded President Donald J. Trump’s selection of James Hubbard to be the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment. Following the announcement, Secretary Perdue issued the following statement:
"I am very excited by the selection of Jim Hubbard for this leadership role at USDA. Congress passed and President Trump signed into law meaningful reforms and forest management tools that will help us better maintain our national forests. Under Jim Hubbard's leadership, we will put these tools to use, restore our forests to health, and get them back to work for the taxpayers. Jim's service with the Forest Service and the Department of Interior makes him exceptionally qualified for this post, and I am eager to have Jim join the team.
"At the same time, there are several other qualified USDA nominees still awaiting Senate confirmation. I urge the Senate to take up these nominations as quickly as possible.”

Federal investigations of Gov. Cuomo & top officials into the wide-scale criminal cover-ups of deaths, Medicaid fraud & civil rights atrocities are critical
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
ALBANY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, April 13, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the founder of the Jonathan Carey Foundation I cannot remain silent as 11-13 precious people with disabilities will DIE today and everyday, on average, in Governor Andrew Cuomo's extremely dangerous and deadly mental health care system. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be shouting out against this evil and this travesty if he were still alive today.
Willowbrook State Institution was exposed for its massive abuses and inhumane treatment of the disabled in 1972. The New York Times in 2011 through a massive investigative reporting series titled "Abused and Used" which was a runner up for a Pulitzer Prize, exposed the current horrific treatment and unsafe care of the disabled that still continues in New York State. Fast forward to today, hardly any safety and abuse prevention measures are in place in residential care facilities and group homes because Governor Cuomo has looked the other way and has chosen to protect the system, instead of the disabled. The end results are massive numbers of deaths and most are kept from 911 call systems, local police, County prosecutors and even Medical Examiners and Coroners, as well as from the courts. What is going on in New York State are likened to war crime atrocities and the level of discrimination in civil rights is off the charts in scope.
How the cover-ups and scheme continues throughout New York State starts with the bypassing of 911 which keeps local police and paramedics out of the picture from the very beginning. Cuomo is allowing the facilities to investigate the deaths occurring within their own facilities, in most cases, instead of Medical Examiners or Coroners which are required to investigate these deaths by law. Bodies are going to the funeral homes, thousands annually, most are never autopsied and either facility hired doctors or local hospital doctors are signing death certificates and deeming almost all of these deaths natural causes with no investigation. Extremely large numbers of these deaths are individuals with disabilities dying extremely young that have no diagnoses of a terminal illness. So what the hell is going on? I think anyone reading is getting the pretty clear picture and revelation of what is really going on, massive cover-ups of criminally negligent homicides. Federal authorities have been notified and hopefully swift actions and arrests will follow soon. How anyone could knowingly be involved in such an evil scheme and plot I personally do not understand, but sadly money and power corrupts many people.
The Obstruction of Justice and wide-scale Discrimination in Civil Rights must be stopped now. We cannot continue to treat our most vulnerable unequally. You must understand that in 1955 Rosa Parks began the civil rights fight because of unequal seating on buses. Rosa Parks triggered and ignited the Civil Rights Movement that Dr. King championed, yet in 2018 the disabled still do not have equal access to 911 emergency medical and police services yet. Grasp what I am saying and try to wrap your mind around this level of injustice and discrimination that still exists in our country.
Your help and your voice is vital, we must together defend the defenseless and do everything possible to stop the further loss of innocent lives. Please do what God puts in your heart to do. Please also consider helping us financially with a donation. Thank you!
