JACK CUNNINGHAM VS. NEW JERSEY STATE CORRUPTION

News Article on Vietnam Vet Jack Cunningham and his U.S. Marine Buddy

Tea Party Patriot is just looking for real, American "Constitutional" Justice... nothing more, and nothing less.

A state Supreme Court ethics official Robert Correale misuses his government and court office to Cover-Up and block ethics violations and legal malpractice charges against his own law firm, Maynard & Truland. After seven years, the Cover-Up leads all the way up to the Governor's Office, Attorney General's Office and the state's Supreme Court and Superior Court.

I'm not trying to make myself out to be a victim of New Jersey Corruption.

I'm trying to make myself a survivor of New Jersey Corruption...

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive veterans of early wars were treated and appreciated by our nation."

In Vietnam, Webmaster Jack Cunningham served (24/7) in a Vietnamese peasant-farming village. At times, there were only four (4) Americans in a village of 2,000 homes.

Jack is holding his M-79 grenade launcher. The weapon was nicknamed "The Blooper" because of the sound the weapon made, when it released a round.

A picture (And news article) of how they both looked in the year 2001 is below.

Today, just like Jack Cunningham can not surrender to a bunch of corrupt lawyers and corrupt government officials, who have been protecting them for eight years, Jack could not surrender, when he served (24/7) in the Duc Duc Refugee village with eight other Marines.

NEW JERSEY STATE COVER-UP

Your "Due Process" under the law was violated. Perjury is also an issue which should not be over-looked.

After spending 28 years in law enforcement, I've never seen such screw ups in my life.   Sounds like these lawyers had something going with friends in high New Jersey government places.

The below letter was sent to U.S. Senator Robert Menendez in May 2006, but he made no attempt to get the questions in the letter answered.   He did his part in adding to this Cover-Up. This letter is just one of many different letters that were addressed to the listed politicians and New Jersey State Goverment officers.   These questions were never addressed in verbal or written form by these parties.

Although this letter and a great deal of other evidence have been sent by certified mail to New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine and His appointed NJ Attorney General, both these government offices refuse to reply or respond to my phone calls.

Besides evidence of open perjury to NJ Supreme Court, a

NJ Superior Court Transcript went missing before it could be typed by the Superior Court clerk.

Have you ever heard of anything so strange?   This court transcript was going to be used by Jack Cunningham in a Superior Court Law Division Legal Malpractice civil case against Vice-Chairman Robert Correale, a high level New Jersey State Attorney Ethics Official. It was also going to be used in a formal New Jersey Supreme Court Attorney Ethics investigation against Robert Correale and his Law Firm, Maynard and Truland.   Because this evidence was lost (destroyed), both New Jersey Courts were able to throw out both of Jack Cunningham's cases and now Robert Correale,Esq. is a district attorney of Vernon Township and Andover Township, New Jersey.

350. George Dros
Burlington Flats, NY 13315...     I served with Jack Cunningham in Vietnam, and I know of no other veteran who has done more, with more heart for his fellow comrads in arms. I ask for your support in this matter and a successful conclusion.

http://www.americans-working-together.com/attorney_ethics/id53.html

Regarding the last paragraph, I feel a short comment on who Jack Cunningham is and why I am here today at 55 instead of dead at 19.

Some time in July 1970, we went on a (daily) patrol that took us farther into enemy territory than ever before. The temperature this day was in excess of 100 º. With only three (3) Marines and 1 Chou Hoi, we confiscated a large cache of Vietnamese communist terrorists (V.C) explosives, detonators, documents and battle plans for upcoming engagements.    (This most probably was a small terrorist bobby-trap factory.)

After neutralizing their base camp, we were hit by Viet Cong terrorists’ rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and small arms fire, pinning us down for over an hour.   We called for artillery from the Marine Cops’ 5^th Marines Combat base at An Hoa and a react team from our brother CAP team 2-9-1.   Return artillery fire was immediate.

      It took CAP 2-9-1 a while to reach us, because as they neared the tree line that we were pinned down in, they were also fired upon.

After about three hours, the V.C. broke contact and both CAP teams started back to their respective villages. We had to cross a chest deep river, carrying our weapons over our heads, but at least we were in our own back yard. We stopped on a small knoll for much needed water, since we had run out of water hours before, because of the intense heat and sun. Two Marines and I filled everyone’s canteens while Jack and the rest of the patrol stood cover.

Returning from the well, I saw Jack standing cover by himself, as Sgt. Eiford thought the village might be hit and took the rest of the unit back with him in case of enemy contact. As we made our way to the knoll that Jack was on, we took heavy fire from our right, pinning us down behind a small rice paddy dike. Jack then exposed himself to enemy fire to try and keep the V.C. away from us, switching from his own M79 grenade launcher, to my M-16 rifle and one of the Marines’ M-60 machine gun. Jack kept the V.C. off balance long enough for us to pull ourselves along by the rice stalks until reaching him. The V.C. broke contact, probably fearing an artillery attack.

This was Jack, always caring and making sure the people he loved were safe and protected from harm. Jack’s code in life has always been the same: passion for his family, his country and the Corps. I will always be thankful for being a part of Jack’s family.

Please press the above link to sign the petition to Chris Christie, where an honorable, combat veteran is asking him to call for an investigation on this. Currently, we are nearing 25,000 signers.

On December 21, 2000, I first wrote a letter to the New Jersey Supreme Court's Office of Attorney Ethics complaining about the Maynard & Truland law firm in Morristown, New Jersey and their attorney Robert Correale.   Maynard & Truland was a law firm that I retained to represent me in a Superior court case. We were four months into the contract, so I did not want to change the law firm; I just wanted Maynard & Truland and their attorney Robert Correale to act professionally. My complaints in the letter were Maynard & Truland's complete lack of professionalism, which included their gross negligence, their (Correale) overcharging me, their (Correale) false billing, their (Correale) inability to have me removed from a court default that they caused themselves and their (Correale) complete lack of communications. I no longer wanted to feel like I was fighting Maynard & Truland and their attorney Robert Correale, more than the real opposing parties.

I opened my letter to NJ Supreme Court's Office of Attorney Ethics explaining that I was a veteran from the Vietnam War and that I was disabled with PTSD, due to heavy combat from living and serving (24/7) in a Vietnamese peasant village. I added that I suffered from chronic pain resulting from a terrorist bomb blast that I received in the village. I highlighted how Maynard & Truland's lack of professionalism was greatly exacerbating my PTSD and chronic pain.   At the time, I was not looking for anything other than Maynard & Truland to represent me in a professional manner, yet understand I suffered from veterans disabilities. With the letter, I included a federal Veterans Affairs (VA) diagnose statement as well as VA medical progress reports, which clearly stated the impact Maynard & Truland ethics violations were having on my disabilities. I also supplied letters that I sent Maynard & Truland's attorneys begging them to act professionally. I supplied all this personal information in the hope the State of New Jersey would provide me with some reasonable disability accommodations and insure that the law firm acted professionally.
Six days later, the Secretary of District X Ethics Committee, Bonnie C. Frost wrote a return letter that stated, due to New Jersey Court rules, their office could not do anything to help me. She added I was free to get advice from another attorney.

Whether it was warranted or not, the Office of Attorney Ethics - District X's lack of support just added to the anxiety and even opened the door for Maynard & Truland to continue ongoing ethics violations. Their over-charging, false billing, negligence, lack of communications continued. At one point a Maynard & Truland attorney arrived unprepared at Superior Court for an arbitration, and I was forced to represent myself as their attorney sat quietly to my left.   I ended up getting charged over $600 for the attorney just sitting there. (Even this, he charged at the inflated rate.)

A little over two years later, when I refused to pay their open bill, Maynard & Truland attorneys brought me to Superior court for $1,700. I counter sued on the same docket for Legal Malpractice against the firm. During a break in the court proceedings, I learned that the Maynard & Truland attorney Robert Correale was the local Vice Chairman of New Jersey's Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics. He was himself responsible for bringing official ethics violations to New Jersey's Supreme Court for himself and his law firm, Maynard & Truland. This was the same Attorney Ethics Committee that I asked to support me two years before. (Major Conflict of Interest)

The detailed evidence, I supplied the Superior Court Judge Ronald Graves on the Open Bill/Legal Malpractice case that day was enough for the judge to decide against Vice-Chairman of Attorney Ethics Robert Correale and his law firm. Their open bill charges were dropped and the judge determined that my charges of legal malpractice warranted (merited) the Superior Court Law Division for damages.

When I brought the Legal Malpractice case to Superior Court Law Division, Judge Ronald Graves court transcript was missing and could not be typed. It actually disappeared. My Superior Court Law Division Legal Malpractice case against the Maynard & Truland law firm and Vice-Chairman of the New Jersey Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics Robert Correale was then thrown out of Superior Court for lack of merit. How convenient was this...

Vice-Chairman of Attorney Ethics Robert Correale and his fellow Maynard & Truland attorneys were later cleared by the Office of Attorney Ethics, when they swore to written Certifications to the New Jersey Supreme Court, which were filled with perjurious, misleading and vague statements.

This Superior Court transcript went missing in 2003. The State of New Jersey is still looking for it. Although, I have written numerous letters to the federal Department of Justice requesting they assist me in getting my Civil Rights and Due Process from the State of New Jersey, the Department of Justice insists this is a New Jersey issue and they refuse to help.   My years of certified letters to New Jersey governors, attorney generals, NJ federal senators, NJ court systems go unanswered.

In 2010, the Cover-Up still goes on...   Former Vice-Chairman Robert Correale, his former attorneys at Maynard & Truland and those politicians and state government officials, who protected them for almost ten years, stay above state and federals laws.

Currently, my State Senator Steven Oroho has been investigating this and has been since November 2008. I'm also trying to get my federal Congressman Scott Garrett involved in getting me my Due Rights and charging the State of New Jersey with denying me my civil rights for almost ten years and the violating the Americans with Disabilities Act for not giving me reasonable disability accommodations in the New Jersey Supreme and Supreme Court systems.
This still remains the biggest topic of my Veterans Affairs (VA) therapy sessions and the exacerbation of my PTSD and chronic pain continues.   But the one thing I know, I won't give up trying to get justice from the federal and state government.
I never want to see this happen again to another PTSD vet or regular citizen.

Jack Cunningham and his wife, Joan

On March 11, 2008, my wife and I went to the F.B.I. office in Newark, New Jersey.

To be honest, I felt I was stonewalled by the two agents, who I spoke with from Public Corruption Squad 8.   The lead agent refused to review my evidence, unless I had original documents with me.   He told me I could have typed the documents myself.   Three of the documents were New Jersey Supreme Court Attorney Ethics Certifications, along with Maynard & Truland's Contract and Invoices). When I asked the federal agent, if it was a crime for me to make up false evidence and lie to F.B.I. agents, he didn’t answer me.



The discussion went down hill from there. However, I did get the two agents to review part of my evidence, including the part that they thought I may have typed myself   (The New Jersey Supreme Court Attorney Ethics Certifications, along with Maynard & Truland's Contract and Invoices).

      When I asked the lead F.B.I. agent, if my Civil Rights to Due Process were being violated, he said no.   I also asked, if the State of New Jersey should have given me "Reasonable Disability Accommodations" for my PTSD.   He just repeated that no federal laws were broken.

      Since the agents refused to review the New Jersey Supreme Court Attorney Ethics Certifications, along with Maynard & Truland's Contract and Invoices, because they were not the originals, I actually had to play make-believe.

      They looked through part of the Certifications of James Maynard & Robert Correale and compared it to the Maynard & Truland's Contract.   The F.B.I. agent admitted that all three contradicted each other when it came to the law firm's billing and Retainer paragraphs.   Without farther information, the agent said the Maynard & Truland contract was wrong.

      After the agent examined Robert Correale's certification pertaining to the day he first started work on my case and compared it to his law firm's invoice's start-work date, the agent brought up again that I may have typed the documents myself.

      What knocked me almost out of my chair was when the agent told me that Superior Court transcripts can get lost before they can be typed.    Just because Judge Ronald Graves' transcript went missing does not mean it is part of a Cover-Up.     Details at:   http://www.americans-working-together.com/id111.html



      In the end, I was told that my corruption charges against the State of New Jersey were for civil court in the State of New Jersey. Since no federal crimes were being broken by New Jersey State officials and politicians, I had to deal with the State of New Jersey. When I informed the agents that the New Jersey Governor’s office and his Attorney General’s office do not even answer my certified letters, I was again informed that they are not breaking any federal laws.

The below letter was sent to U.S. Senator Robert Menendez and a number of other U.S. senators and congressmen/congresswomen in September 2006. Senator John McCain was the only response I received. His letter stated that I must deal with my New Jersey federal senators.   Senator Robert Menendez and his staff have never answered this letter and have never placed anything in writing. ( Senator Robert Menendez phone:  202-224-4744 ) New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine continues to not answer my numerous letters to him.

    The federal Department of Justice, including the F.B.I., insist that I must deal with the State of New Jersey. The saga continues.

In Vietnam, Webmaster Jack Cunningham served (24/7) in a Vietnamese peasant-farming village.   At times, there were only four (4) Americans in a village of 2,000 homes.

Jack is holding his M-79 grenade launcher.   The weapon was nicknamed "The Blooper" because of the sound the weapon made, when it released a round.
