Carl E. Person. He is a graduate of
Harvard Law School and has more than 40 years of litigation
experience, primarily in antitrust, commercial and civil
rights cases. The websites of greatest interest to users of
this rebate website should be: (i) Attorney Person's website
about using a "town attorney general" to represent a small
town or village and its residents and small businesses
against the numerous and continuing violations of law by
major corporations that are illegally taking away the jobs,
property values, and standard of living from residents, and
illegally putting local small businesses out of business.
See Town Attorney General Website
My name is Carl E. Person, and I am an attorney admitted to
practice in New York. Since 1993, I have written more than
100 websites (very loosely defined to include pamphlets,
articles, books published on Internet, a cartoon, works in
progress). My c.v. or resume is at Updated C.V. or Resume of
Carl E. Person
This website is my oldest website.
www.lawmall.com is
basically an index to these 100+ websites, not only for
users, but for me to be able to find my own material.
I am a graduate of Long Island University and Harvard Law
School and have more than 40 years of litigation experience,
primarily in antitrust, commercial and civil rights cases.
Categories of my websites, articles, pamphlets, books and
other works (even a Wal-mart cartoon) are available through
links in the leftside or top banners.
Most of my material is law related, and at this time I am
actively trying to create a new governmental position, which
I call, generically, the "town attorney general". See my
website My Town Attorney General Website. Other names for
this new office (not yet achieved in any of the nation's
38,967 towns, villages, cities, counties or other
municipalities) are:
• NYC Attorney General [which I am now trying to create
through a ballot initiative in NYC, naming myself as the
first NYC Attorney General]
• City Attorney General
• County Attorney General
• Village Attorney General
• Municipal Attorney General
So I can change the total number from time to time, I am
including a link to my source for statistics on the number
of counties, cities, towns and other municipal governments
in the United States. See Wikipedia as Source for my 40,000
Total [scroll halfway down the long page]. There are 3,034
counties; 19,429 "cities" and other municipalities with
"large" populations; and 16,504 "towns" or "townships". I'll
use the figure 40,000.
The law has been used during the past 40 years to reduce the
rights and standard of living of most Americans. As I see
the problem, from my vantage point as a lawyer, litigator,
private enforcer of the nation's laws, and someone who has
tried (unsuccessfully) to run for statewide office in NYS
(Attorney General, in 2006), the country needs more civil
law enforcement at government expense. Voters, residents,
homeowners, employees and small businesses do not have the
money to enforce the nation's laws. This should be done by
the federal, state and local governments, but it is not
being done by any of them.
My concept for the "town attorney general" is to
decentralize the awsome power of the state Attorney General
by creating an army of 40,000 (hopefully elected) public
attorneys general throughout the United States (one for each
governmental unit below the state level) who will start
enforcing the nation's civil laws on behalf of the nation's
voters, residents, employees, homeowners and small
businesses - AT GOVERNMENTAL EXPENSE. In other words, we no
longer can rely upon the federal and state governments to
enforce the rights of individuals, and the way of dealing
with this problem is to create an enforcement office at the
lowest levels of government.
This is very much a legal problem, as I see it, and
something to which I am devoting a significant amount of
time, in addition to my litigation law practice.

these matters, please give me a call, 212-307-4444 or send

LawMall - a Unique Website for Antitrust and
Civil Rights Litigation and Needed Political
Reform
1st Pub.: 1995; New Look 11/11/07; Last
Update: 11/12/07-9:17 am
Explanatory Note as to Lawmall Website
Development; Website Search Technique
My name
is Carl E. Person, and I am an attorney
located in New York, NY. I started this
website in 1995 and have made hundreds of
changes from then to the present, including
Lawmall's new look (using "php") and website
search feature (as of 11/11/07). When I
started using professional programmers, I
started using new URL's, but I still
consider these "independent" websites part
of my Lawmall. Many of my most important
websites are not under this "Lawmall"
structure, but I'm including them in the
various lists below. Most of my Lawmall
websites are pure HTML websites, which I'm
gradually changing. My newer,
professionally-programmed websites generally
have or will have independent domain names.
Regardless, I include both types in my list
below, to try to have one place where I can
refer to most of my websites.
Searching for Website Material I Have
Published
Now, you
can search my 100+ websites using my
newly-obtained PicoSearch feature. Prior to
this search feature, I used a search engine
such as Yahoo, MSN or Google to conduct an
Internet search for website material I have
published. I would search for "Lawmall" +
"Topic" such as "lawmall jury
nullification".
That was
an easy way to search for my own published
material. All I did was put the word
"lawmall" before what I'm searching for, and
I could generally find what I'm looking for.
Try it using a major search engine. Search
for "jury nullification" (562,000 hits") and
then search for "lawmall jury nullification"
(only 8 hits). You don't have to use the
quotation marks.
A
SELF-ASSESSMENT OF MY ACTIVITIES
Prior to
Internet, I published two books (one book,
published by Doubleday, sold 60,000
hardcover copies) and several articles.
Internet encouraged me to write and publish
many more times on a broad range of
subjects. I am trying to put most of the
subjects on this single home page of
lawmall, which is admittedly difficult and
confusing. In fact, some of my best material
(in the form of 8 new free websites to
create mailing lists ) is not listed or
described on this page.
I have
gone from writing about problems into
writing about solutions. The solutions
generally are not legal solutions, because
the courts increasingly refrain from
enforcing what in past years we considered
our "rights" as citizens, residents,
employees, homeowners and small business
owners. As a result, I have turned to
practical political solutions. I emphasize
the word "practical" because I don't waste
my time thinking about writing proposals to
amend federal or state constitutions, or
writing proposed statutes for enactment by
Congress or state legislatures. I leave this
to the highly-paid lobbyists who have been
instrumental in stealing the United States
from its lawful owners, through providing
incentives to our elected officials to enact
statutes, rules and enforcement policies
that transfer the nation's wealth to the
world's largest corporations, and deprive
Americans of their standard of living and
meaningful jobs. My hat is off to those of
you who have worked hard to ruin America.
You have done a great job, and your family
will at some time recognize you for what you
have done.
Meanwhile, there is a job to be done in
trying to restore the United States in a
variety of ways, such as in its economy,
standard of living, a competitive and
representative news media providing news
needed by the public to make meaningful
political and other decisions; health care
availability and quality, oil prices,
educational costs and opportunities, freedom
from prosecutorial abuse and other
governmental oppression, absense of major
voter fraud, just to list some of the areas
of concern.
The
solution I propose is Internet based,
through the creation and use of email
mailing lists to serve as the nation's news
media, to provide the news needed by the
public to select, nominate, support and
elect candidates who will represent the
interests of voters rather than the
interests of the top 2% of the economy,
including the nation's and world's largest
corporations.
I feel
that by creating free websites of value to
voters, I and others can create email lists
of voters to enable voters to get weekly
emails of information not being provided to
them by the monopolized media. These email
lists can be used to identify and promote
the right type of candidates for public
office, and help to get them elected, in
competition with the main media who are
highly successful in finding, promoting and
electing tweedle-dum and/or tweedle-dee,
with the election of either being acceptable
to the economic forces controlling the
United States and the major media.
New York
State offers an excellent opportunity to
achieve political change from the ground up,
through New York law that permits voters in
towns, villages and cities throughout New
York State to enact laws themselves,
provided the laws include the financing
needed. These laws, however, are not allowed
to change the office of the prosecutor or
the office of the county clerk. For 29
proposed statutes which should be enacted by
NYC voters please look at my website
29 NYC Statutes for
Enactment by NYC Voters in "Ballot
Initiatives"
If
voters can pass laws in spite of their
elected legislators, voters can start seeing
an improvement in their position. For
example, in NYC the major is attempting to
force "congestion pricing" down the throats
of voters, motorists and persons living
outside of Manhattan. I have prepared a
ballot-initiative petition which, if adopted
by NYC voters, would declare congestion
pricing illegal. See my petition at
Petition to Make
Congestion Pricing Illegal in NYC.
Also, see my website against congestion
pricing, at
Website against
Congestion Pricing in NYC.
Another
problem I'm working on is trying to make
work more meaningful and more valuable to
voters and residents. We should not become a
nation of Wal-Mart associates, at $8.50 per
hour, no benefits, and a 28-hour workweek.
You can't live on $12,376 per year (28 x
$8.50 x 52) before or after taxes. One of my
solutions for the problem of our diminishing
base of good jobs is to have a national
database of tasks that each website user
would like to perform for money, with a
50-mile ZIP Code radius to enable the
providers of the tasks to be found in the
geographic area in which the tasks are to be
performed. Take a look at my website
www.myclads.com (meaning "My Classified
Advertisements"). Through community use of
this website, the community can create a
vibrant economy for its members, and persons
living in the surrounding area. The persons
who are benefited from this new income are
more inclined to listen to the persons
providing them with new income - as to
political matters - than the persons
responsible for taking away their standard
of living. This seems to be a key to
political change, perhaps hard to grasp by
everyone, but there nevertheless. You can
compare the situation to the "ward healers"
in NYC from the 1790's to the 1960's (see
Wikipedia entry for "Tammany Hall"). The
political wards had "healers" or "ward
healers" who took care of the people living
in the ward (really, a welfare system), and
could count upon them to vote for the
candidates being supported by the ward
healer. This is a bottoms up approach which
is needed in the United States at this time.
We need to get more money to most of the
voters by giving them greater earning
opportunities, and www.myclads.com seems to
be the way to do this.
I need
some help in accomplishing these objectives,
and if you are interested in getting
involved, please let me know, by email to
