United States citizens are on a downhill slide toward the ills of fascism and communism in their country.

I am a citizen of the United States of America in the state of Kentucky. The following letter has been sent to Senator Mitch McConnell, Congressman Hal Rogers, AG Jack Conway, the ACLU of Kentucky and our illustrious sheriff Todd Wood.

I believe it is time for true Americans to stand up. We still have some civil liberties left. Let's not lose them all!!! -----------------------------------------------------

I'm am writing to you because I still believe in the values of freedom and justice for the United States of America. I also believe that Kentucky is still a part of the United States of America and those that enforce our laws are bound to respect the civil rights of American citizens.

I have the misfortune of having a son who has destroyed his brain with drugs and is a regular participant in the Kentucky Penal System.

I have not checked the laws on this but I do not think that this makes me a criminal. Maybe it was a part of the Patriot Act that I didn't read.

The Pulaski county Sheriff's department is once again looking for my son, Mark Alban. They refuse to send me a copy of the arrest warrant, so I have no details of why he is being sought. I have no problems with the way my son has been treated. He will even tell you that he deserves the punishment that has fallen on his head.

I do have a problem with the way that the police are treating me.

Three times in the last 2 months they have beat on my door between 12:30 and 3 in the morning.

This last time they came I made the mistake of exercising my civil liberties and asking to see a search warrant.

I was informed that they did not bring one and if I insisted on seeing one that they would get one, but I would most likely be arrested for aiding and abetting a criminal. I asked this officer if he knew what country he lived in. He assured me that he knew this was the USA.

I think that it is the sheriff departments job to find my son. If they want to invade my privacy, they should have the common decency to bring some kind of warrant to my house. Or, is it their job to harass old people in the middle of the night?

I called them at one point and told them that he was using my credit card at specific location in Burnside.

Come to find out he was camped out near Burnside park and two city policeman had stopped by and chewed the fat with him for about 15 minutes and left.

My son drives a silver dodge pick up with a big orange tennessee T on the front. This is the only fact that the police have shared with me about his current crime. His truck was seen in the vicinity of a crime.

Now if that is the only fact they had to go on and they believe there is only one truck like this in the county, would it not be good police work to have the Burnside police looking for that truck if I told them he was there.

This is the quality of our sheriff's department.

They will never find Mark within 100 miles of me. why? Because the second time he went to prison, I swore out the warrant that he was convicted on and talked him into surrendering. I did all the work for this inept organization that we call a police department.

They reward me by dragging me out of bed in the wee hours of the morning and threatening to send me to jail because I am a citizen of the USA and ask to exercise my right see a search warrant.

I've asked the Sheriff Wood about this and in his condescending attitude he informed me that they will continue to pursue my son. That's fine with me, do it and stop harassing me.

I've asked the sheriff to come and visit me face to face. I will be sure to inform him that his office and mode of operations would fit in better in Cuba or Iran.

We can't do anything about the fact that we've elected a communist to the white house. We should be able to do something to stop the spread of fascism in our community. What would you suggest?

We the People are getting very tired of all of this!!!!!!!!!! STOP TREADING ON ME!!
