Re: Chicago, Posen, and South Holland Police Departments & Draco Academy
Senator Meeks:
On August 19, 2005, I sent the following letter, via fax, to Superintendent Philip Cline in contest to your allegations of Chicago Police Department alleged “racial profiling” incident (attached). As stated in my letter to Mr. Cline, “I am not challenging his assertion of these charges. What I am challenging is his demand for the Chicago Police Department to address his issues and the publicity he attaches to it.” I sent Mr. Cline 47 pages describing the conflict I am having with the South Holland and Posen Police Departments, which I sent to you, Mr. David Miller, and Mr. Jesse L. Jackson Jr.
In addition, on August 19, 2005, I personally delivered to Mayor Daley’s office a copy of a response letter I received from U.S. House of Representative Jesse L. Jackson Jr. dated September 15, 2004. This letter from Mr. Jackson is in response to my issues with the South Holland and Posen Police Departments and the flyer from Draco Academy of Martial Arts (located in Homewood, Illinois as his office) depicting a black man with a knife holding a white lady by her head, with a “white” family and logo stating “Protect your most valuable assets”, which I sent to you and Mr. David Miller.
On August 11, 2005, I faxed a letter Attorney Lester Barclay, David Miller, and Donna Miller (attached). This correspondence reports I received a letter from the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission giving me a “right to sue” Christian Community Health Center (CCHC). Attorney Lester Barclay is the Chairperson on the Board of Directors for Christian Community Health Center. Ms. Donna Miller is on the Board also. Mr. David Miller is Illinois House Representative for the 29th District. I live in the 29th District of Illinois. I informed these individuals that Mr. Virgil Tolbert, Executive Director of CCHC, refused to give me information on their company’s attorney so that I can make service on them of my Federal Civil Complaint for my alleged violations of Title VII, ADEA, and 42 U.S.C. 1983 issues. Neither of these individuals has contacted me as you have not contacted me about the issues I wrote to you about the South Holland and Posen Police Departments.
Sir, Robert M. LaFollette, Sr. an American Political & Reform Leader once stated, “let no man think that we can deny civil liberty to others and retain it for ourselves.” As I told Mr. Cline, the public needs to know what you guys really do for your constituents.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred L Nance Jr.

Re: Senator James Meeks and the Chicago Police Department
Mr. Cline:
I, Fred L Nance Jr., am writing this letter regarding Senator James Meeks and the incident he reports to the Chicago Police Department. Senator Meeks suggests he was discriminated against and suffered indifferent treatment (racial profiling). I am not challenging his assertion of these charges. What I am challenging is his demand for the Chicago Police Department to address his issues and the publicity he attaches to it. This is appalling to me.
I live in his Senatorial District. I have sent letters and corresponded with his office on discrimination and being treated indifferently by the South Holland Police Department (letters attached). Senator Meeks has not once called me or held a media conference on my issues. You have afforded Senator Meeks personal interviews and media coverage of his issues. It appears, on its face, Senator Meeks is getting the attention he receives because he is a Senator addressing “black” issues. I am black. I am one of his constituents. Senator Meeks should be attending to what is happening in his own backyard before he protest and complain of issues concerning him.
Like Senator Meeks, my family has suffered as my letters purport. Does the media know Senator Meeks does not address similar issues complained of from his constituents? My first letter to Senator Meeks was on April 23, 2004. Along with the letters addressed and copied to him, I sent him earlier letters addressed to various entities of the Village of South Holland (attached). In November 2004, I visited his Springfield, Illinois Office and spoke to his Administrative Assistant, Ms. Sherry L. Williams, about the letters I sent to him. His Administrative Assistant stated she would give Senator Meeks my personal message and report to him I visited his office in Springfield regarding my issues. I have not heard from Senator Meeks or his office regarding my issues.
Why should Senator Meeks’ issues be addressed and not his constituents? I need him to afford me what you afforded him, a complete and thorough investigation of my issues. I need Senator Meeks to contact me regarding my issues and explain to me why in 16 months I have not heard anything from him. Maybe you can tell him about this letter. I spoke to Ms. Ella from your office. I told her the information was lengthy. She said OK.
Respectfully submitted,

Re: Christian Community Health Center Litigation
Mr. Barclay:
I, Fred Nance Jr., am writing because you are listed as the Board President for Christian Community Health Center (CCHC). I have filed charges with EEOC against CCHC. I have received my letter from EEOC giving me the right to sue. I am pursuing that right.
On August 11, 2005, I emailed Ms. Kenya Garrett who some time ago sent me an email stating that any correspondence I wish to have with any employee of CCHC must come through her as their legal representative. On August 11, 2005, I asked Ms. Garrett was she the legal representative to receive service of summons and the complaint filed. Ms. Garrett informed me, through email, she could receive service for any employee. Ms. Garrett did not provide me with CCHC’s legal representative.
Therefore, I emailed Mr. Virgil Tolbert, the Executive Director, requesting this information. Mr. Tolbert emailed me back stating he could not talk to me because we are in litigation.
I thought I would present the question to you, the Board President of CCHC. Who is the legal representative to receive service of summons and complaint in my cause of action? Please contact me with the information using the phone numbers below or by mail. I should not be refused this information from CCHC’s representatives.
Thank you.
