the letter I mailed to the White House, and a few other politicos...

some of you may find this interesting...

Good day,

My name is Scott , and I am taking this time to describe my experience in Traffic Court on March 27th between 9:00 and 10:00 AM on the Second Floor of the State Building in Hauppauge NY. I believe I was treated poorly, and am in shock this happened. I want to also explain who I am, and the “work” I am trying to do. Though it is different, there is no denying the importance of Santa Economics.
The crime I committed occurred on 1/8/11 in the town of Islip Terrace. We were at a bar down the block from my friends house, and he was a little drunk. I decided to take the wheel, and due to the excitement of driving a truck, got a little carried away and went on an 8 block joy ride. On a dead end street at 1AM, I spun out and totaled the truck into a tree. It was cold, and we left, deciding it will be better to deal with the matter once we got home. And I did. I immediately called the cops ( they apparently showed up while we were walking home) and the matter was dealt with soon after. I do not have a driver’s license, and am well aware my actions broke laws. Though I did not break these rules maliciously, I understand it might not matter. There is possibility of a punishment.
Santa Economics is a theory I created based on three intense years as a real-bearded Santa, including three weeks internationally where I was able to help make an island smile. Its goal is to help turn the image of Santa Claus into a tool for charity. It belongs to the people, and represents “unlimited giving”. This theory would help transfer a large portion of the billions of dollars spent on everything Santa to the charities each and every year. Santa is an untapped resource, and if used correctly, could do so much good for society. Unfortunately, I am sick with an incurable illness, and just can’t do this whole thing myself. I need some help, which was precisely my intention when I stepped in front of the judge on my birthday morning.
Right now, I am fined $140 for my two tickets. This means nothing to me, because until I can get the Santa Movement started, these tickets will go unpaid. Its not that I am trying to disrespect the process, its just that I believe my work could do more for Suffolk County residents than the $140 I might have to pay as a result. I was hoping to ask for community service instead, a “punishment” that would best use my skills and ability to make society a little better. Whether its moving a rock pile, picking up litter on the highway, or the one I want to push, using the resources of Suffolk County to help kick start a global charity campaign, I feel there is no justice in fining me.
I realize this type of request is a little different, and Santa Economics, based on what you have read so far, might be hard to understand. And maybe Traffic Court was not the right place to offer such a suggestion. However, I asked this judge repeatedly for help. I explained that I just needed to talk to a lawyer, or someone else, in the State Building. This was too important, and I just needed proper help. I never raised my voice, nor did I act in an aggressive manner. I merely used terms she clearly did not understand. She first mocked me in a way that was completely inappropriate, but her actions next were inexcusable: She told me she would get me help that I requested, which got me a bit excited. However, after standing in the hall with the bailiff, I sensed something wrong. The judge next appeared with guards or police officers ( sorry, I didn’t ask) and in a very condescending way, suggested she would get me help concerning my mental health. I was brought to a room with the guard, who let me talk, but whose only goal was to get me out of there. I had wanted to go to a couple of offices in the building, including the Human Rights office, to try to explain my situation. However, I was told by this guard they would not want to speak with me, and he promptly escorted me out of the building like some criminal. Can someone please explain to me how my actions, and my beliefs, warrant such behavior?
I am a Nassau County resident that have asked for help regarding my theory before. When I realized I was too sick to do this campaign on my own, I sought out help from a Nassau County institution. Instead of treatment, I was tortured, and it took me a couple of years to recover from such a thing. (In fact, it was the officers’ behavior while questioning me the night of the accident that allowed me to start working on Santa Economics again. I had a breakthrough a few months ago, and I am committed to this concept). The fact this judge would question my mental health because she does not understand something is disturbing, and something should be done. Personally, I am asking for ( I would love to “demand”, but that never gets anywhere) a face to face apology from the judge in question. I believe, based on my life’s work, I have earned this apology. If the people reading this believe she needs to be investigated further, so be it. But I need that apology from this judge, and feel this is an appropriate request based on the circumstances. My court date is on May 21st, and if possible, I plan on making the same argument regarding my plea for community service. If the reader believes the Santa Campaign should get started right away ( based on my projections, it should not take more than 3 years to globally turn Santa into a tool for charity), and understand I just need “reasonable accommodations” to get this started, I would hope you can contact me sooner, and move past this ugly episode. Thank You.
One more thing. Though I don’t exactly know who to contact, I will be mailing this letter to a few state officials, as well as the White House ( yeah, I know this might sound a bit extreme, but I just think they should be made aware of Santa Economics, especially because it involves the Post Office). Whether anyone decides to get back to me is another matter. Though you can probably pull up my information, I would prefer a real person emails me at [/EMAIL]. I just have information that can help others, and am working on this everyday. If there is a more appropriate way to kick start the Santa Claus Movement, please let me know. However, as of right now, this letter is my best shot.

With many smiles.

P.S. Just so we are clear. Right now, that apology from the judge is just as important to me as my theory. Thanks again.

 

Thanks.

I am 36 years old...kind of. I became a medical miracle seven and a half years ago, so that is the number I tend to use more...

 

in due time...

 

i dont' mind at all, although its something many people on here might already know...

I had suffered from seizures all of my life, and they were just nasty...Epilepsy is a fucked up illness, and my life was a constant struggle...I then got a VNS implant after a twenty minutre seizure...Four months later, i stopped my meds, and my health improved...The seizures, for the most part, just stopped.

So, I became really thankful for life. I received teh Santa suit about a year after this implant, and when I got to see all the smiles, my whole life changed...Though I was kind of homeless at the time, I refused all money, and just walked around as Santa...It was due to my years of suffering that I became thankful of a smile...LOL!! I know its different, but shit, I had a different type of illness.

Now, I am relatively happy, and if given the opportunity, will be able to help turn Santa into a tool for charity, and shift the billions of dollars spent on Santa to the charities...I believe it will take two years to three years to complete once it gets started...
