Washington, D.C. - On Monday, President Barack H. Obama spoke about his HealthCare bill that became law and how people can now start signing up in less than a minute. The glitches have been fixed and more people can enroll in the Healthcare dot gov web site.

He also talked about an 800 number that people can call for advice about their health plans.

"Our goal has always been to declare that in this country the security of health care is not a privilege for a fortunate few. It's a right for all to enjoy," Obama said.

While President Obama was speaking, a woman standing behind him began to get ill and almost fainted. Obama immediately turned around and helped the woman. An aid to Obama came over and took the woman out from the line she was standing to get medical attention.

Obama while helping the woman, then turns back around facing his audience and says, "that's what happens when I talk to much" and went on to finish his speech.

More than 500,000 Americans have enroll for health care coverage through ObamaCare, according to Obama.

No Immigration Reform For 2013, Not Buying Your Products!

It's executives of Corporate America that funds the U.S. House GOP stalemate on immigration reform and won't budge.  Time for a 16-day national economic shutdown by La Raza, Hispanic-Americans and supporters to show them we have control of our $2T spending and buying power. "No immigration reform for 2013, not buying your products!"

★ H. Nelson Goodson approves this statement and action.

16-day National Economic Shutdown To Influence U.S. House GOP To Pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill

Take action, spread the word and repost: The U.S. Congress lifted the $16.7T debt ceiling after a 16 day government shutdown, now comes La Raza with its power to engage in a historical national massive economic shutdown in response to the U.S. House GOP failure to approve a just immigration reform bill.

Whitefish Bay, WI - On Wednesday, Federal agents from the DEA and multiple law enforcement agencies raided the Whitefish Bay home of Edward G. Patterson, 38, owner of three McDonald's restaurant franchises after a federal indictment alleged that the fast burger businesses were used as a front to fund a marijuana distribution operation. The McDonald's restaurants owned by Patterson are located at 11250 N. Port Washington Rd. in Mequon, 8739 N. Port Washington Rd. in Fox Point and 5344 N. Port Washington Rd. in Glendale were used by Patterson to conspire with other five suspects to launder money from drug sales and to hide proceeds generated from the operation.

Patterson deposited three $12,000 checks into his McDonald's bank accounts. Fifteenth warrants were executed on Wednesday by the feds.

The suspects including Patterson were charged with conspiracy to distribute large amounts of marijuana or a controlled substance and the use of a mail facility to facilitate possession and intent to distribute a controlled substance. If convicted, each suspect is facing up to 40 years in a federal prison.

Feds confiscated 2 pounds of high grade marijuana, 11 weapons and $90,000 in cash, according to a statement released by the U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration office (DEA) in Chicago. The investigation into Patterson's drug dealing began last year, according to the DEA.

The five other suspects were identified as Kevin Breiztman, 29, of Glendale; Paul Markiewicz, 27, of Germantown; Andrea Marquardt, 29, of New Berlin; John Webler, 39, of Milwaukee and Paul Heiniger, 42, of Willits, California.

All the suspects in Wisconsin were taken into custody early Wednesday except Heiniger from California who is still at large, according to the feds.

Los Angeles, CA - On Thursday, Eddie "El Piolín" Sotelo, 42, gave his second television network interview with Carmen Dominicci from Telemundo "Al Rojo Vivo." During his interview, Sotelo denied allegations that he falsified immigration reform letters seeking reform during a radio show campaign promotion that were sent to federal legislators during 2006. He also stated that not everyone that you come into contact have good intentions for your well being and then thanked all his supporters for their well wishes and prayers that helped him get through this difficult times.

Sotelo's earnings and investments have nearly totaled $15 million, one reason Sotelo says, that his co-workers from Univisión Radio have made false allegations against him. Because "they want my money and envy has led to those allegations," Sotelo said.

On Wednesday, Sotelo didn't go into depth about a lawsuit filed against him by Alberto "Beto" Cortez for sexual harassment, physical abuse, fraud and causing emotional stress for at least three years while working with Sotelo. Cortez allegations forced Univisión Radio executives in July 22 to take Sotelo off the air permanently. Univisión apparently ended a contract with Sotelo, abruptly ending his national syndicated Spanish language radio show after working for Univisión Radio for ten years.

Sotelo said during the Telemundo interview, that he wasn't fired because of Cortez allegations, but both Univisión Radio executives and Sotelo decided it would be better for him to leave the syndicated radio show. "It was just time to part ways," Sotelo admitted. 

Sotelo told Dominicci, that what happened to him, he wouldn't wish it to anyone else. He also became disappointed with his former co-workers after they falsely accused him that he sexually harassed them as well. Sotelo wouldn't go into details and didn't named any of his former co-workers due to pending litigation. 

Several weeks after Sotelo went off the air on July 22 at Univisión Radio, Cortez publicly made his allegations against Sotelo. Three weeks later, six other former co-workers from Univisión sent Sotelo a letter that they would be willing to keep their silence of what went on between them, claiming allegations he sexually harassed, committed fraud and physically abused them during their employment at Univisión. They wanted $4.9 million for not saying anything about Sotelo's behavior while they worked with him. Sotelo allegedly groped Cortez groin, according to a lawsuit filed by his attorney.

In late August, Sotelo and his lawyers cried foul and filed a lawsuit at a Los Angeles Circuit Court claiming that Tomás Alejandro Fernández, Samuel "Cusuco" Heredia, Domingo Rodrigo Ochoa, Gerardo "Chiquirruco" Palencia, Bertha "Betusha" Velasco and Sergio "Checo" Vera were attempting to scam and extort Sotelo for $4.9 million to keep silent of what went on while working with Sotelo.

Sotelo and his attorneys submitted the letter as prove and evidence of an extortion attempt by the six defendants and their attorneys. 

El Show de Piolín, which is Sotelo's new Spanish language satellite radio show is expected to air on Sirius XM in October, according to Sotelo.

Sotelo says and makes fun that, he is the "ugliest DJ" in the radio.

Medrano Express Facing Consumer Complaints That It Failed To Deliver Packages Abroad

Some consumers have yet to be contacted by Medrano Express or its agents about undelivered packages abroad for over a year.

By H. Nelson Goodson

September 26, 2013

Madison, WI - On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) announced that it "has received calls and complaints that the international shipping company, Medrano Express has failed to deliver packages to their destinations.  Consumers and businesses say that they are unable to reach Medrano Express or locate their goods, and some have spent more than a year attempting to recover shipments and money from the company."

"In late July, the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) revoked the ocean transportation intermediary license of Transporte Medrano, Inc. (d/b/a Medrano Express).  According to the FMC, the company is no longer authorized to provide ocean transportation services, and consumers and businesses should not tender cargo to Medrano Express or its agents for the international shipment of goods," the DATCP reported.

Medrano Express customers who are having problems with their international shipments should file a complaint with the FMC at their website.

The FMC's Office of Consumer Affairs and Dispute Resolution Services is currently working with Medrano Express customers (complainants) to locate their cargo or assist in the release of their cargo. Customers requesting assistance should contact FMC and provide a written request and submit a copy of the Medrano Express invoice and contact information. All FMC assistance requests and information should be e-mail or fax to complaints@fmc.gov or 202-275-0059.

Medrano Express and is agents in the U.S. offer a "100% delivery system" of packages to Mexico and Central and South America, according to its website. They provide shipping and delivery services from twelve states, CA, LA, FL, MA, GA, MD, IL, MN, NJ, NY, TN and TX.

But consumers and businesses using Medrano Express for delivery of their packages abroad to its recipients may no longer be a guarantee of delivery anymore, but a major headache to locate and to recover packages, according to the DATCP.

Comunicado DATCP en español

Medrano Express no entrega los bienes

MADISON - Medrano Express anuncia un sistema "100% garantizado" para la entrega de paquetes a México y América Central y del Sur, pero a los consumidores y las empresas que están esperando para que su carga llegue al destinatario, lo único que se les puede garantizar es un dolor de cabeza.

El Departamento de Agricultura, Comercio y Protección al Consumidor (DATCP) de Wisconsin ha recibido llamadas y quejas de que la empresa de transporte internacional ha fallado en entregar los paquetes a sus destinos. Los consumidores y las empresas dicen que no han podido comunicarse con Medrano Express ni localizar sus bienes, y algunos han pasado más de un año intentando recuperar sus envíos y dinero.

A finales de julio, la Comisión Federal Marítima (FMC, por sus siglas en inglés) revocó la licencia de intermediario de transporte marítimo de Transporte Medrano, Inc. (que comercia como Medrano Express). De acuerdo con la FMC, la empresa ya no tiene autorización para prestar servicios de transporte marítimo, y los consumidores y las empresas no deben entregar carga a Medrano Express o sus agentes para el transporte internacional de mercancías.

Si usted es cliente de Medrano Express y se enfrenta a problemas con el transporte internacional de su carga, puede presentar un reclamo siguiendo los pasos indicados en la página web de la FMC en http://www.fmc.gov/alerta_al_consumidor-fmc_licencia/.

Además, usted puede comunicarse con la Oficina de Asuntos del Consumidor y Servicios de Resolución de Disputas de la FMC. Ellos están trabajando para ayudar a los consumidores a localizar su carga y ayudar con la liberación y/o entrega de los bienes. Las solicitudes de ayuda por escrito deberán incluir una copia de la factura que usted recibió de Medrano Express y su información de contacto. Mande su información por correo electrónico o por fax a complaints@fmc.gov o al 202-275-0059.
