This is an open letter written to Seth Williams, by Maria Rolon, written about her two cousins Denis Calderon and Julio Maldonado. Rolon writes to Seth Williams: "As you know, I and others believe Denis and Julio were wrongfully convicted and now stand on the brink of deportation, facing permanent exile from their family here in the U.S. We have asked you to explain to the mothers of Julio and Denis your role in this miscarriage of justice."

There is nothing more awkward then someone handing you a list of people to vote for without telling why. Finally there is a way to find out what is really going on.

The National Lawyers Guild now lists their member’s opinions on judicial candidates, Open with Abode Reader

The National Lawyer’s guild list has detailed information on each candidate.  Most of us don’t want to support Seth Williams only because someone we know does, or strongly oppose Dan McCaffery without knowing someone hurt by him.

And many of us don’t like the idea of pushing a lot of other numbers without knowing much or anything about why we should do so.

Here is how the National Lawyers Guild can make a difference.  Philly for Change recommends Angeles Roca #21.  Philadelphia Neighborhood Network recommends Sharon Williams Losier Lever $ 27.  Neither list has the maximum seven names on it.

Thinking compromise on casinos could let other pressing problems not plunge things downhill.

Many have claimed who is district attorney is as important as who is mayor but not this year. Since no candidate seems to be connected to the casino debate.

Of course DA candidate Seth Williams’ expressed tolerance on civil disobedience could suddenly make a difference to an abusive casino protester who might otherwise get his head smashed in.

Also if the FOP succeeds in getting Municipal Judge, Judge Craig Washington voted out of office, the other judges might think twice before ever challenging a police officer,

We can’t let disappointment over politician’s casino stance make us ignore the other progressive choices they may suggest.  Why don’t we all just agree to have a casino at the airport and let rich people casino party on river boats,
