your hearts and help...
today has been really not very good for me...a newspaper posted a story about the charges I am facing... No one even realizes that these are just charges...the things they are "charging" me with aren't even true...My son WAS NOT home alone for 3 days, along with all the other ridiculous things that I haven't even be able to go to court over....people were commenting all these awful things, that "I'm a loser", that I shouldn't have kids.....all of these awful things are just tearing my heart apart...to hear such horrible things said, that are so far from the truth! These people don't even know how untrue and ridiculous these "charges" are!
Then one of the commenters went as far as saying they "researched" me and found my blogs...and said that the taxpayers are paying for my house....I work day and night, trying to take care of my kids...I am in no way on any kind of welfare or assistance!! I am so overwhelmed and angry, and sad....I feel like I can't even cry.
Some of you have the sweetest hearts and have offered to help me try to get an attorney...you don't know what a gift this is to my heart....you are all the sweetest people in the world...and I thank any of you that want to donate even your pocket change! Thank you so much!!!! The lady at the court told me to just come and defend myself in court, because I couldn't afford one.

who would say that you do these kinds of things?? Someone who is obviously jealous of what you have and the love that surrounds you. It is so obvious that you have nothing but love for your kids as a mother should. We all love and support you kandee! and in the end karma (as well as GOD) will punish that terrible person who's said those things.

People are CRAZY. Who gets this STUPID, RANDOM information? You're such an inspiration to SO many people, something they overlook. And you're someone who makes the world brighter, everyday, in every way! Thanks so much, keep your head held high and hold on!

don't wry Kandee. I know God will do his work. If he brings you to it, he will take you through it. For such a nice person you are I doubt anything bad is going to happen to you or your kids. If it does happen God forbid, u have millions of supporters on your side who knows the truth and will fight for you. Amazing things are in store for you. Just do what you tell us all the time, think positive :)

It saddens me to read this because I look up to you so much for support and to help me get through my days with your inspiring words. I'm keeping you in my prayers and I hope everything works out. <3

Kandee-Thank you for sharing your kind heart and sweetness. I know you are going thru a tough unimaginable time right now. You are stronger than you think. I wish you the best of luck. You and your little ones will be in my prayers. Hold your head up. Here's a little thought that helps me...What people think of you is none of your business.

People are so blind to the kindness that you ooze. You make me, as well as thousands, feel like we matter and are worth something. It's sad that one ill word can destroy someone so special. As you always say, be happy and find the silver lining. It WILL all work out for you in the end if you stay positive and know that your children LOVE you as do all your fans. As long as YOU and GOD know that you did nothing wrong, that's all that matters. The court will come to the right decision.
With SO much love!

I can't believe how horrible some people can be...I'm so sorry Kandee. Like I said last post, I am seriously going to be praying for you. You'll make it through... This too shall pass.

This is a poem I found when I was down and out a while back.It always makes me feel better no matter what. I thought you'd like it.
There are days when nothing seems right. When every shell you pick up on the winding shore is broken. When the silken treasure slips through your fingers too quickly. When comforts are empty. And the world is noise.
On those jagged edged days, when the wind is screaming for a reason only she understands. And you find yourself all alone.
Turn your face to the sun.
There is goodness in the world, that even the river of tears cannot erase.
There is love in the world, that the numbed armies of fear can not destroy.
Sometimes that goodness is everywhere apparent. It pours from the heart of every moment. From the light of every smile.
On those soft days, love hides in the eaves to drop like sweet honey on your forehead and sings her lilting lullabies in the arms of the winds.
But on some days, Beloved. On days like today....
We need to look, to see.
So turn your face to the sun.
Even when she is nowhere to be seen.
Go inside yourself. Find a speck, a splinter of beauty to be grateful for.
'Yes', the day has worn you. And 'Yes' our mistakes have been so many.
But say 'Thank you' anyway.
Take account of all that is in your possession.
A mind. A heart. A body.
A life that breathes, even if for just one more day.
Now count the eyes that have smiled
at you on your wild journey,
the hands that have held you tenderly,
the ears that have listened,
the prayers that have been made on your behalf.
And whisper your 'Thank you' again.
Count the sky that has watched you grow
with His painted eyes,
The heaving waves that find their echo
in the tides of your breathing,
The little birds that have sung
you their songs,
The stars which have been a lamp
to your path,
and are your
rightful inheritance.
Count unexpected laughter,
Count undeserved grace,
Count Passion and Love making and Dreams yet to be born,
And bow your head and say 'thank you',
Now count the lives who still need your light,
The hungry, the sick, the helpless,
Count the children who will die today
and imagine if with the breath of your body
you could help just
Turn your face to the sun,
And know yourself as a child of the light.
You are the Goodness that cannot be extinguished,
The love that burns through the darkest night.
And perhaps,
In turning
You will see what i have seen,
that this day where everything seemed wrong,
was not your curse,
It was your gift,
Your chance...
To find inside yourself a forgotten 'thank you',
To smile in the face of the grim suppressors,
To stand in the heart of the glowering darkness
and turn your face to the sun.

First off, I want to say how sorry I am to hear what you're going through. I know it's hard on your your heart. I can't even imagine being in that situation. And I'm sure it's super hard to see the goodness in this situation but you need to remember that you know the truth. You know the situation for what it really is, you know that you're a wonderful mother, and you know that God is always with you.
As for the people that leave comments, don't bother reading them. Why waste your time reading such negative things? You do NOT need that in your life. You reading them will only let those people have some sort of negative hold over you.
Be the strong woman of God that I know you are, because I can see it in you every time I watch one of your videos.
Last but not least, I want to share these two scriptures with you...
Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment YOU shall condemn."
You will come out of this stronger, victorious, and happier than before. Do NOT settle for anything and remember to always lean on God, because He is always with you... even when you feel so alone.

Kandee, if I wasn't broke I would donate any money I had to you! You are such a strong person and it shows! You can make it through and everything works itself out in the end. I know you can make it! Hang in there and I will make sure to say an extra prayer for you tonight! :)

You know the Truth...you know what kind of person you are...you know your heart...your children know how much their mommy loves them...your family knows who you are and your friends know you...Most of all Our Lord knows you and loves you! You know whose precious child you are, The One who claims you as theirs, The Protector, The Healer,The Provider, The Light in the darkness, The Comforter..Our God. He is in control...I know you must be feeling lonely and so hurt and angry.Your not alone..He hears you and cries with you.
"May the Lord bless you,
and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you his favor
and give you his peace." Numbers 6:24-26

Hello SUNSHINE! You are so Loved! This is a trial you will grow from and learn...please don't let what people say/publish change you! People with half a brain can see the truth but not everyone will...it's unfortunate what public figures have to go through with what people say, and I'm sure the negative voices may sound louder at times than the positive, but I know you will come through this just fine and even stronger! YOU ARE BRAVE AND AMAZING AND A TRUE INSPIRATION! Thanks for being you! XOXO

I know you prob wont see this because you have so many others to read, but you are a true inspiration. My heart goes out to you Kandee. You are full of light and happiness and love, and if these people that "researched" you had any common sense or human trait in their body, they would see what I see. I really do believe in you. I also believe that everything will work out. It has to. Good luck Kandee. And I love you!

Those allegations are ridiculous. I can't believe people print such untrue things. People are more concerned about getting paid for a story then actually telling people the facts. We will keep you in our prayers Kandee. Keep your faith and keep your head held high. You did nothing wrong and people are just trying to drag you down. You can tell from your blog and your vids on youtube that you are a great mom and are very caring. Your little ones are very lucky to have such a great mom. It seems like people are so quick to bring CPS in to matters where they arent needed and a lot of time it seems like the children that do need help don't get it. Be strong Kandee; you are a wonderful person and a very good mother.

Why? Why would anyone do this to you? Do they not have anything better to do, than to "try" to ruin your life, which also includes your kids and family's lives. Reading this really upsets me. I know you can get through this and you will get through this. Just don't give up!! :) I will keep you and your children in my prayers.
Hugs from Samantha

Kandee, I'm so sorry.
I have been reading your blog and watching your videos for a while now, and I've never commented until today- I just read this entry and it's heartbreaking. It made me want to tell you that I went through something similar this year...
Someone who doesn't know my family misunderstood an unusual situation, and we ended up in court for something TOTALLY ridiculous without any way to defend ourselves. I thought life couldn't possibly get worse and I was really scared- how does a goodie two-shoes like me (or you!) get into a mess like that?! The point is, I made it through even though I thought I wouldn't, and everything turned out alright in the end. None of my worst fears ended up playing out, even though some not so great things did happen... but I wanted you to know that you're not alone, and you might not see it in a terrible situation like this, but everything happens for a reason. I hope your family is alright and I hope you FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT those idiot charges, and show them what a superwoman SUPERMOM you are!

Hey Kandee,
I usually don't comment on your blog, but I always read it and I love you! Just know that I am completely on your side and I believe you. I don't personally know what it's like to have your name dragged through the mud in this way, but something like this happened to my uncle and it effected the whole family (and my uncle was innocent too). So I can kind of relate to what you are going through and I know how much it hurts. Just think of it like this, when you are strengthening your relationship with God, that's when Satan attacks you the most and tries to bring you away from God. It's the same thing here, you are finally reaching your dreams and so many amazing things are happening for you, so evil people are trying to bring you down. Just have faith and I know you'll come out on top. I don't have much money, but I will donate as much as I can because I know that you are a truly good person and you deserve the help :)

hey kandee, well i just wanted to let you know that i sent some money your way even though college sucks up all of my money, but i do think that you are one of those RARE people out there that is actually still very loving, caring, sweet, enthusiastic, happy above all other things, even when terrible things (like what is happening to you now)happen to them.
I just wanted to let you know that you have inspired me in ways that other people have not in the sense of loving everything you can because thats the way life should be lived.
i really do think that the future has beautiful things in store for you and your children because you are such a wonderful person yourself.
continue doing what you do best, a lot of us appreciate what you do and who you are!

You will get through this, I just know it! You are too beautiful of a person not only on the outside but even more on the inside. God has you in his hands and he will guide you in the right direction! Don't ever give in and let people try to bring you down. I'm so glad I found your youtube videos almost 7 months ago when I did because it brought me to your blogs (adventures in Kandeeland too) and you have inspired me so so much and made my not so good days better with all of your encouraging words. You are an amazing person and from what I know an amazing loving mother!!! You and your family are in my prayers :)

Hey Kandee, I just started watching your videos and reading your blogs today and I have realized that you are a very awesome person. Idk where you get the strength from but keep it up cause it inspires me to be a better person and God wont put nothing on you that you cant bear. You have a great purpose and dont let nothing hold you back from persuing all your dreams. <3 :)

Hi Kandee- You should call or email attorney Len Tillem for advice and possibly a referral to an attorney in your area. He is wonderful and I am sure he will feel for you and help you in any way he can. He hosts a Bay Area radio show that is nationally syndicated. The radio show is on KGO am 810 from noon- 1:00p.m. on weekdays and 4:00p.m.- 7:00p.m. on Sundays. He will offer you valuable legal advice (I have worked in the legal field for 6 years and listen to his program whenever I can- he is knowledgeable and funny!) His email is email@example.com, and the # for the show is 808-0810 (any area code). You can listen to archives of his show online to get a feel for what he does at kgoradio.com.
At the very least he will help prepare you for your next hearing. I think he and his team are a valuable resource and are definitely worth looking into.
I wish you the best of luck!

I've lurked and not commented long enough! For what it's worth, I don't believe these charges either! Not sure if anyone has said this yet,
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Matthew 5:11-12)
God has been using you to speak to people and satan would love nothing more than to stop that and discredit you. I am praying for you Kandee! I know that doesn't change what they are saying but Kandee, I know you know Someone who has been through worse and KNOWS your pain. I'll pray for your comfort and victory over this non-sense.

Kandee- I stumbled upon your videos and blog about a week ago and I just want to say that I am so happy that I did. You are so sweet and so positive. You have inspired me to live a more joy-filled life. I too had a child young and have been married 2 times and have kids by different dad's and have felt very "losery" about it. But, over the years I have realized that my kids are my greatest gifts and the source of the most joy in my life. They love me no matter what and I am so lucky to have them. I just wanted to tell you that the hard times we go thru are only as hard as we allow them to get. You have a wonderful, loving family, beautiful kids and a career that you love. I know how humbling it is to have to ask people for help. You are very brave to have done that and I will gladly donate to your cause. Keep your chin up sista!! ♥

I'm so sorry to hear this Kandee. It must be really hard as a single mom who works in LA but lives further because the cost of living in Southern California is ridiculous.

I can't believe how obnoxious and ridiculous ppl are to make such rude comments! You are going through something so hard and ppl have the nerve to have absolutely no compassion or consideration. They should take their negative, judgemental, and cruel comments elsewhere b/c you don't need that bad energy. I hope you are vindicated and blessed w/ the best outcome w/ this situation.

13 is old enough to be left alone for 2 hours. That he misbehaved, also not shocking. That your house was a mess - isn't everyone's at some point?????
I don't know if this blog can help you, but
you might try sending her an email and see if she has advice. She believes kids should not be sooooo overprotected by their parents. (She let her 9yo ride on the subway by himself - with proper change and cell phone and he knew the route. She wrote a column about it and people thought she was endangering her kid.) Maybe it will help reading similar stories to yours where authority has gone over the deep end.

I can only imagine the struggle you are going through. I may not have any children, but I do know how harsh the internet can be. People constantly abuse their rights. I know me being only 18 may not mean much, but I, along with many others just want to show how much we care about you! You are such an inspiration to me. I watch every video you post! I follow your every tweet, and I am a die-hard fan on FaceBook. I can only hope to one day be as happy as you are. It is truly amazing opening YouTube on a rainy day, clicking on your new Video & watching it. They put me in the greatest mood! I get so motivated even after your Halloween Tutorials! I hope you continue to post videos & Blogs for as long as your body will allow you to! I don't know how you do it, but you never seem to be in a down & out type of mood. I feel as if you're family, moral support if you will. You have no idea who I am, but it's funny how I can feel that way! I know I am not alone when I say that I feel as if I know you & can trust you with my life.
I really don't understand how people can be so cruel to such a kind hearted person. You have everything going for you! Amazing fans, a beautiful home, loving children, you have such an amazing family from what I have seen!
I hope I am correct when I say one day all these mean people will vanish from your life & continue to live theirs. Not interfering with yours. I wish you the best of luck through everything! I adore your spunk, creativity & kindness. Please just keep your head up. Only way is up from here!

Hey Kandee,
I am a new follower of yours and have always loved your videos. You are always so bubbly and cheerful, and you pick people up when they are feeling down. I know this has nothing to do with what you are going through but I am also having a tough time with anxiety and panic disorder. My mom gave me a business card today...I was thinking it was for a doctor or something. When I looked at it, there was a beautiful picture of a sunrise on it. The quote read:
"Good Morning, this is God. I will be handling all of your problems today. I will not need your help, so have a nice day!"
I'm sure you've heard that before, but sometimes it helps to be reminded of it. I hope you and your family make it through this OK. I know life can be hard, but you are a strong person and will make it through it. If you ever need anything, your fans are here. We all love you!
My prayers and wishes go with you!

I really wish I could help out in some way, but money is tight here too. You seem like a wonderful person in such a terrible situation. If anything, I hope these peoples' kind words, donations, and me and my family's prayers will guide and strengthen you through this. We love you Kandee.

Kandee my love goes out to you! I can't imagine the feelings and thoughts going through your head or how someone could accuse you of doing such things.. You are such a kind hearted person and watching your videos on youtube have lifted many of my days when I was down... But I have faith you will get through this!

Oh Kandee, anyone who has followed you KNOWS how big your heart is and how much you love and care for your family. We know you would never hurt or neglect your children. And it's so apparent to us how hard you work, and that your family comes first.
It just goes to show you the state of the world, where it's heading. That the devil is the ruler of this system and people can be led to become to callus and hurtful. But have courage because Jesus conquered the world and died a perfect example for us to strive towards and our faith in him gives us a hope for life in a righteous new world. God is only allowing things on earth to go this way for a while, to prove that yes indeed we as humans cannot rule ourselves. The devil must be very mad at you for bringing so many so much joy and hope and believing in themselves enough to go out and spread more joy and love and beauty. Because as long as he can keep us down, we will not likely be able to reach out to others, for our own inner pain. So keep being you. Our prayers are with you and I believe that God has helped you, so you could help people like me, just through your brightness, who have had a really rough life. If it wasn't for kind people like you, I don't know if I would believe in a God of love. But he DOES love us so much, we just have to believe he is not the reason for all this misery.

hey kandee-- like they say, god doesn't give you anything that you can't handle. i know it's horrible to be accused of things that aren't true and are most likely a result of some crazy misunderstandings. keep strong, tell them the truth and you'll prevail in the end. also, stop reading the negative comments, lady! you know in your heart that those people are just miserable or nuts, so don't their negativity bring you down!

Wow, and LA does NOT have the best reputation when it comes to law enforement. Was this a guy just trying to get promoted at all costs? Create some drama where there is none.

I can't imagine what you must be going through, but I know it is tearing you apart. The fact that all these people who don't even know you, are saying such nasty things about you when they don't even know the siutation, is so unfair and makes even ME angry, just the fact alone that people think others problems are their business and that they have a right to have an opinion, when they actually don't have any right at all, especially when their opinion is aimed specifically at causing hurt against someone. People always think they know everything and that they're always right, and that's not the case.
But you know what? This will all pass in time. You know the truth and the truth will come out in the end, you just have to hold your head high, grin, and try your absolute hardest to bear it all until it's all over, because it will all go away soon.

Kandee - I'd like to help donate but when I click on the Paypal donate button, you are not really linked up. I need your email address or mobile phone number to be able to send you $ via paypal - try the link yourself and you will see what I mean.
Please advise.
I love your blog and you are a very talented makeup artist. I have learned a lot from you and I am an artist as well.
As another person commented, you are owed a public defender.

Dear sweet Kandee
Everywhere in this world there will be some people that are bad, that can´t be happy for other people. They do there best to destroy others by telling rumors or lies about the people they are jealous of.
You are a talented, beautiful and sweet person. You have beautiful children. A nice house and it looks like you have everything "going for you" ;) You are putting your life out there for all of us to see. Your tough, but vulnerable. But don´t break! Because so many of us love you, I am on your web site every morning and night.... just to see if you have made a new video!
So rise above the rumors and stupid people and shine like only you can!
Love You;)

Hey Kandee! How absolutely terrible that you and your family have to go through this. There will always be someone out there that tries to make others miserable. Just remember no matter what that you are a good mom, you have to know this, they'll see it. You just need to turn off all of the negative noise and concentrate on what is. Not what any of us say but what you can see to be true yourself. Don't waste any of your life worrying about what could happen, what others are saying. Concentrate on the truth and what you actually have. I would wish you luck but I don't think that your going to need luck, you have the truth on your side. I know that you and your kids will be fine.
I truley wish you all the best. We're all lucky to have you :)

hey, i think this is the first time ive written you. so if you read this i just wanted to tell you that God loves you and everything will work out in the end. i think this might be happening to you for a reason. i think maybe your in just the right spot to raise awareness on the travisties that go on in our contry and the way the judicial system works and how the media fuels the fire. in reality your just a normal person who is being wronged and this stuff happens all the time and it needs to stop. maybe you can do something about it since you have such a big folowing on youtube and here that maybe you can start a movement? maybe thats why all of this is happening? your a good person who is loving and kind and wants everyone to be joyess and you share your amazing heart with eveyone! i hope for the best for you and your family and will be in my prayers.

Hey Kandee, I just want to say I have donated some money to you. I live in Spain so my Euros are more money in dollars.
I cannot even imagine the way you feel now, but this situation must be horrible for you.
You are such a lovely woman, mother, make up guru... You inspire a lot of people ALL OVER THE WORLD.
This is just unfair.
There are hundreds of true criminals who live free; and then, good people like you, with the only thought in your mind of helping people who must face these unfair situations.
I want to send you all my love and help from my little village in Spain and from the bottom og my heart.

God bless you Kandee Johnson!
I pray for you and your little people, and I pray that the court will come to the right ruling.
Just hold onto God tight through all of this, and he will never let you down! Don't ever let go! Be strong!
He's there for you to crawl up right into his lap, wrap his big loving arms around you...and let you cry on his shoulder as if you were a little girl again.
You are his daughter, and him your Father.
Don't forget,
God has the final judgement regardless.
All those who have wronged you will be put in their place.
Big Hug, With love
ps: do you have an e-mail that those of us who would like to send you a letter (but don't feel comfortable with it traveling through the mail) could send it to?

Stay strong Kandee.. you seem to be quite strong in your faith (something I have just realised I need in my life myself) - and you're doing the right thing. Trust in the Lord :)
A week ago I didn't even know who you were. My daughter (4yrs) wanted to watch a bit'a Princess Jasmine on YouTube.. so upon doing a lil search for Princess Jasmine, we find Kandee's Princess Jasmine Make up. We were hooked from there! Im a 26 year single mama all the way from New Zealand (neighbouring Australia lol).. And knowing that you're a single mum too is empowering! You've come soooo far considering your circumstances, and this court case will be something to add to your belt. Trust in the Lord, accepting that whatever will happen - the Lord's got your back, you know this right?!

anyway, i do not know too much about U.S. law. i did one course once and i don't remember too much, but I think it's UNCONSTITUTIONAL not to have the state attorney (at least in Spain).
I hope all goes well .... :)

Kandee, I can see you are going to receive wishes & prayers from all corners of the world and this should bring your heart much comfort. However, my "wish" for you Kandee is that you get up and fight. Fight hard & fight smart. I decided to donate some money to you for this reason so that you may gather financial resources and get THE BEST legal advice you can find & afford. I feel that you are not one to waste opportunities or the gifts of others so take strength from your bloggers and go fight for your pride. Much love sweetheart x

Kandee, You're such an inspiration to so many people and such a good-hearted woman. It literally hurts my heart that you have to go through this. I can't imagine how upset I'd be in your position. And Vilcis's comment is so true. It's so unfair that there are so many criminals walking free that do horrible, horrible things and you're being slandered for something you don't deserve.
When payday comes I'll try to donate as much as I can and you'll be in my prayers. Keep your trust in the Lord and he'll see you through.

So horrible that something as bad as this is happening to someone so nice and caring like you. I know you'll get through this - after all, the charges are RIDICULOUS! Surely what Jordan has to say will make a difference too? Can he speak about it in court?

this is so unfair, you're a great mom i'm sure of it, it's so obvious from your videos and the other blog.
when i was 12 i was always home alone it's not a big deal, i mean it's normal, at least in italy. at 12 your big enough to take care of yourself for a few hours. and just like your son i liked to set things on fire, not the smartest idea but it's not that bad either...
i read the article and it was full of BS, i really can't understand how someone can be judged "borderline unsanitary" if its sink is full of dirty dishes, somedays you just don't have the time to wash it right away.
anyways i've sent you some money, it's not much but i hope it can help you out a little bit.
lots of love from italy

If I wasn't broke I would donate, but if there is anything AT ALL that I can help you with, count on me.
You have helped me throught the hardest moments of my life, and I really owe you sooo much.
I wish I had some money so I could help you back at least a bit.
You have friends in all of us how know that you are an awesome, kind woman.

i have never commented before but i will today because it just upsets me to see how your heart is hurting right now..
All you have ever done for us, is being sweet, inspiring and reminding us every day that we need to have hope and faith.
I don't think you can ever understand how much you have meant to some peoples lives.
For me personally, you have been the encouragement i so desperately needed to pursue my dreams and i am forever grateful for that.
I do not understand how this could happen to you and i don't believe any of these accusations.
It is so easy to judge someone you don't know..
But it is so mean and unfair when you judge someone and draw conclusions that can affect their lives in such a horrible way..
But hey, i am a firm believer that in the end, good things happen to good people.. and you are one of the most sweet, lovable and kindest persons i have ever met. The road may be hard, but have faith that in the end you and your beautiful kids will be alright.
You have touched hearts all over the world and i can only hope that we can inspire you when you need it the most, just like you have inspired all of us.

Dear an honest Kandee!
I just wanted to remind you on your own words, these are just charges, and no court can charge you for something you haven't done!
Although I am a layer student in Europe, this is a standard in all juditial sistems.
With or without attorney, judge's desition is based on evidences, and as the charges aren't true, they can't be proved othervise.
You should definitely try to ask for public defender, as I think you could have conditions to get.
I would send you the money in no time If I lived closer to you (Croatia, Europe), as I am not using online payments.
But I am sure that you will get enough for this cause, as there must be many people who will be happy to be able to give you even a bit back, of all you give to us, as I am.
Dear Kandee, I know that it is hard to be patient and positive when something like this is happening to you, but you have to belive that everything will turn out well as it will!

Kandee, I just want to encourage you to stay strong by continuing to look to the Lord's goodness. You have become such an inspiration to so many people all over the world and your vulnerability and honesty has really allowed God to work through you and touch people's hearts. We know that when we are weak and troubled, that's when God can use us the most! Take heart knowing that although these terrible charges have been brought against you, God allowed them to happen. And in Jeremiah 29:11 it says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"! He is refining you through the fire and people are being blessed by watching how you are dealing with this challenge with grace and love, despite its awfulness. :) I will continue to pray for you and your family and I KNOW that by remembering and showing the same grace and mercy that Jesus showed us on the cross to all the people involved in this, they will see exactly what God wants them to see... and don't forget, our God is a JUST God! :) He is watching over you!

you know, its a coincidence that i am going through the same thing kandee. my mother is consumed by misery and when i thought she was helping me to take care of my daughter when she was born, she was really just trying to take her! she met her husband in prison, and allows him to control her every move. and he wanted to use my daughter so that they could have bank accounts (prisoners cant have an abundance of money, so they sometimes open accts in other people's names)...this seems to be the craziest story to some people---so imagine how crazy it is for me! but i had no idea that any of this was going on, i mean- this is my MOTHER, this isnt supposed to happen. but to make things worse, when i let my mother know that i dont want her around my daughter, she took me to court and wrote the most hurtful, false 4 page letter to the court. telling them i am a prostitute, that i am a low-life, i dont deserve to have my child. WRONG!! i have never prostituted, and am a loving mother to my daughter. i dont want her to have the lack of a mother that i had growing up, so i treat her how i wanted to be treated--- with an abundance of love and caring. and god is prevailing and allowing me to fight back clean. i dont have to retaliate with hatred and anger, i pray. and what has happened is that payback is coming upon both of them, and they will pay for their mistakes. i am a believer in you reep what you sew. and they everything coming to them. i think i know how much your heart is hurting because while there is alot more to this complex story of mine, it crushed me that such ridiculous accusations would be made. dont let this person/court get the best of YOU. they are nothing, they dont matter. the truth matters. but you have given me the strength to walk back into God's path, and I just really hope that everything goes fine for you. keep in mind when one door closes, another opens. thanks for sharing your story. god bless.

Dear Kandee,
I wanted to write you to let you know how important your efforts, videos, blogs and existence mean to me. Even though I don't have a job at the moment because I was laid off, I donated to your cause. It's not much, but I will keep donating to help you because your videos and words and given me hope and the strength to really love myself and THAT is priceless.
I hope everyone who subscribes to your channel gave even a dollar. It would make a huge difference in your peace of mind and it is a great opportunity to help make your life better - just as you have done for us.
Sending love to you,

Cant your family help, there are alot of pro bono Lawyers ect.
I personally think its a bit low to ask for money. Alot of us are hard up and have money problems and we dont rely on others to sort them out for us.
You maybe be a lovely person but it might all be just some big scam. After all we only know what you tell us.
The tutorials were great but the constant looking for approval by sharing every bit of yourself then asking for money.
I had the worst childhood and not the best grown up life and have had to sell things to survive in the past. Why dont you sell your car?
Well I am a cynic. But sorry I would rather donate to Cancer research.

Kandee, I think you're great and I'm sooo sorry that this has happened to you... but I think it's completely inappropriate for you to be allowing people to donate money to your cause in light of what is going on in Haiti. Those people lost everything they have, including their families. By law, the court HAS to appoint you an attorney(my husband is a cop, he's confirmed this), it's right there in the Miranda Rights! I wish you the best and I encourage you to do the right thing! It will come back on you if you do! =)

I respect your talent and desire to make videos; however, it's a bit disturbing to accept money from people based on a YouTube persona. Many people have been victims of ignoble activity and this seems like something you may want to keep private. We are all going through struggle and strife (Haiti, unemployment, et al) this is my opinion, but it may be best to keep some things separate from what people really need to know. I feel some followers are too young to make sound decisions based on what we want to accept rather what is real. Good luck to you and remember your faith will guide you, you have to reinforce those same statements to yourself. Good luck.

hey kandee,
this just reminds me sb i know veeery well. michael.. ok i cannot compare you to michael..but this case..
once you get a huge positif interest in peoples everyday life, the others who want the same thing are becoming jealous and spreading lies to the media. medias are so naive persons, they believe everything and publish everything
its sick. its a sickness.
as brooke shields said to michael: when you see genius, people get scared and invent shit.. thats all.
bless you kandee.. i know everythingis going to be just fine..
i sent you an email yesterday and i was wndering why you didn't answer. now i know why..
you're such a nice person..
kissses and hugs

Hey Kandee, I felt so bad reading this post. I can't imagine what you're going through but I know in the end you will make it out on top. You are a wonderful person with a HUGE heart and I think everyone sees that. All you do is send as much love as possible our way, so now it's our turn to send our love your way! I donated $10 because even though it's such a tiny amount of money, YOU have made me feel better about myself, YOU show appreciation to everyone for comments and love, YOU make this world a better place and wish more people could feel and be that same way. You are so fantastic. I wish you only the best! I work for an attorney by the way :) hehehe he's a good one though! :) I hope things start to work out and I know they will...because God has a plan for you and He's not going to let you down.
By the way, I purchased the Alice in Wonderland makeup set from Urban Decay this morning, the moment I woke up. :) I saw the pictures of that movie a long time ago and the second I did, I knew I HAD to see it. That was always one of my favorite movies growing up. I can't wait!!!
Have a wonderful and positive day Kandee!!! :)

I just mailed out a small donation of five dollars to you to show my support. I read the article and it sounds so fabricated and the exaggerations are obvious. I know that you work so hard to provide for your family. Everything you have done shows me the love you have for your kids. Please be cautious of your nosy unhelpful neighbors. Sometimes they are the first ones to cause trouble and the last to offer help. Best of Luck!

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief (SATAN)cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak..................
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen." Ephesians 6
"1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep." 1. Cor 15

Some of us love Kandee and would like to donate or show our support...and HAPPY that she provided a means to do so!!
It DOES NOT mean that we are not aware or giving support to greater causes. YES, there are larger things going on in the world, BUT THIS DOES NOT mean that we forget about making an impact on a smaller scale as well. Every bit of goodness you put out there is worth it.
Anyone familiar with the Justice system knows that a Public Defender (while free), has a lot of clients and is not always able to focus their attention on any one case. Certainly not always (not speaking for all public defenders) the best way to go when you are trying to defend yourself.
Please don't feel discouraged by the negativity Kandee. Not everyone is going to understand or support; but many of us do.

What are you trying to pull? By law, you are given a lawyer if you cannot afford one. If you're an adult, you should know this. You probably DO know this.
People are dying in Haiti and all of you are donating to an adult that needs to take care of her own problems. It isn't right to accept money from your younger viewers. I don't really care if people asked you to or not.

maybe you should sue the newspaper for defamation of character-that would bring in some money! I'd be willing to bet you have 1.000s of fans that would stick up for you and or boycot the paper that wrote the article. I know it's rough to have someone call your parenting skills into question. Just hold onto the truth and keep the ppl around you who know you are a great mom and you will be ok!

I love you so much. I am truly so so sorry you are going through this. I want to give you a big hug, but I can't so please feel this virtual one (((((hug))))).
You have lifted me in so many ways giving me strength to endure hard times. Please know I'm thinking about you.
Gather character witnesses who aren't family. If you have enough people there willing to stand up for you to give a testimony to your positive parenting they can't deny the truth. People sitting behind you, even if they can't speak for you will show the judge a lot about you too - to prove you are supported and loved beyond measure. I wish I could be there for you, but since I can't I will definately send you some money to help. I just wanted you to know you should start gathering people. Don't go alone girl!
Much love!!

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Kandee, you are such an incredible blessing in my life. Although you do not know me, your joy is MORE then obvious to anyone that watches your videos. From the first video I could tell you were a believer just purely by the joy you portray and the love for life you have. Please keep your head up, up high- because you know that God is up there with your absolute best interests in mind. His plans for you WILL prevail- and his plans for you are amazing and perfect, better then any plans we could ever make for ourselves. Throughout this struggle know that you have a million times more people FOR you then are against you. And in the end, God has got your back and thats all we could ever hope for. God bless you Kandee! and I will keep you in my prayers, thats a promise. Your loved, immensely. Dont ever forget that!

Dearest Kandee, You are an obvious beauty on the outside but what I find extraordinary is how beautiful you are on the inside. My eighteen year old daughter turned me on to your tutorials about a month ago and I've been hooked ever since. I cannot tell you how greatly I enjoy your teachings and I hope you realize that you hold multiple gifts. Your talent as a makeup artist is flawless, as is evident in any of your videos, but more importantly is your messages of love and caring and keeping strong during the difficult times. You offer all of us viewers so much of yourself and you ask for nothing in return. Nothing. So imagine how petty a person has to be to actually take the time to write hostile and negative things about you. Pretty petty and in my opinion, pretty pathetic. Keep your chin up kid and focus on what's important to you . . . children, home, work, friends, and your sites. There are so very many of us out there Kandee who think you are wonderful and appreciate you for everything you provide. In just a few weeks my teeth are already whiter (yeah Plus White) and my hair looks better than it ever has now that I know the right techniques for blowdrying and styling it. You even give us the name of the products to use (yeah Rockoholic)!!! Your generosity is endless and you have succeeded in giving the world the one thing it needs the most . . . a connection to others. Obviously I am not alone in this assumption since there seems to be no limit to the amount of comments you're receiving. When we are writing to you we are connecting, quite in the same way you connect with many when you make a new video. We're all connected!! And we have only one person to thank for that . . . Kandee Johnson. For this, I most humbly thank you. I hope all turns out well for you because you deserve it. I'm always here to help if you need it. Peace.

Tyrone entered Friday night's playoff game with intentions of proving last year's state title appearance was no fluke.
The Golden Eagles took a step in that direction, treating their home crowd to a 14-7 win over feisty challenger Cambria Heights.
Both teams entered the game at 7-3, but came from much different history. Cambria Heights hadn't made the playoffs since 1998, when current head coach Jarrod Lewis was a sophomore on the team.
Tyrone won the state title in 1999, and as previously mentioned, came up just one win short of another championship last year.
The first half was dominated by both defenses. Both Tyrone and Cambria Heights each only mustered five first downs in the initial two quarters.
Cambria Heights moved the ball well on their opening drive, but could not come up with any points. The ball got as close as the Golden Eagles' 15-yard line.
But after two straight false start penalties, Highlanders' quarterback Nathan Bearer was intercepted by Tyrone's Corey Snyder.
Bearer would later respond with an interception on defense. He picked off Tyrone's quarterback, Erik Wagner. That halted a threatening Golden Eagles' drive.
The score at halftime was 0-0.
Tyrone's record setting halfback, junior James Oliver, was held to just 45 yards on 10 first half carries. Oliver got going in the second half, though.
Late in the third quarter, Oliver helped lead a scoring drive that put his team up, 7-0. Wagner finished the series with a 2 yard run touchdown run.
Tyrone fumbled on a potential game-sealing drive, which gave Heights great field position. The Highlanders scored five plays later on a 19-yard touchdown pass from Bearer to Andrew Brawley.
The score was suddenly 7-7.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Golden Eagles returned the ball to their own 48 yard line. Oliver did the rest, and scored with a 52-yard touchdown run on the very next play.
Tyrone was back on top, 14-7.
Cambria Heights used a
48-yard pass from Bearer to Brawley on the next drive to get back into scoring position. Three plays later, the Golden Eagles' Josh Fetters intercepted Bearer for a second time, ending the Highlander threat.
Nathan Bearer threw for 129 yards and the touchdown to Brawley, but his three interceptions stopped three drives in Tyrone territory. Senior Tyler Crawford ran well, picking up 85 yards on his 23 carries, and also catching a pass for 13 yards.
Heights' head coach Jarrod Lewis said, "We played well today. It's a shame somebody had to lose this game. I'm proud of the seniors and what everybody did for this program going forward."
Tyrone's James Oliver started slow, but finished with an impressive 185 yards on 24 carries to go along with his touchdown. Corey Snyder had 36 total yards and an interception on defense for the Golden Eagles as well.
Tyrone, now 8-3, will take on Richland (11-0) in next week's D6 AA semifinal.
When asked about next week's game plan, head coach Steve Guthoff said, "Tomorrow we're going to try and come up with something. I just watched them last night, and they're good."

wrecan wrote:...Is Banhammer actually stating that there are things that are consistent with Duty that you should refrain from doing? (I guess he is saying that.) If so, how is Olive supposed to know what that is? She hadn't even read Banhammer's books on morality until after she conquered FAQ, which was well after she had committed most of the crimes on Wanda's list.
Seems to me, Olive's defense is...
1. I never violated by Duty to my Side
2. Not doing everything I could for my Side would have violated my Duty
3. The Titans made Hipppiemancy so it could be used in the way I used it, so it can't be a perversion.
4. The aspects of the Olive Garden to which Wanda objects were conceived of under the thinkamancer Maxwell's guidance. If anybody was a pervert, it would have been Maxwell. (And we have ample evidence this is true.) If you deem Olive perverted, it was not her fault, as she was perverted by Maxwell. She should therefore be rehabilitated. And who better to rehabilitate Olive than a community of casters? Surely, some combination of Betsy's healomancy and Labeler's signamancy can repair the damage that Maxwell has wrought? (And then FAQ will have the benefit of a hippiemancer amongst its ranks!)
It really comes down to FAQs conceptualization of Peace. I'm hoping it doesn't go down the "Someone is responsible for this and has to pay, but not you, you were just following orders." route. She incapacitated her side's Overlady to further her own causes and continued doing brutal and violent things.

ASHEVILLE — Five things, pertaining to the backups, I think are crucial to the Charlotte Bobcats maxing out their potential this season:
Tap into Ben Gordon: The Bobcats made a huge investment in low-post scorer Al Jefferson. Part of the return on that investment will be how the defensive attention Jefferson draws can open perimeter shots.
Gordon is a 40-percent career shooting from 3-point range. He is as well-suited as any Bobcat to make spot-up jumpers. You might not want him dribbling all around the court, but you want him shooting the J.
The Bobcats made the deal for Gordon knowing the Detroit Pistons would owe them a future first-round pick. But Gordon still has skills this team needs. And the better he plays early, the better the chance some team might want to absorb his $13.2million expiring salary at the trade deadline.
Figure how to use Ramon Sessions: New coach Steve Clifford is no fan of going small, so the Walker-Sessions backcourt of last season probably wont be seen much this season.
Sessions might play fewer minutes, exclusively as the backup point guard. He has great speed off the dribble and a knack for getting to the foul line. This could be a less-is-more situation where Sessions is playing in five-minute stints, but making more explosive plays.
Dont lose track of Bismack Biyombo: Biyombo probably isnt a starter anymore with Jefferson the featured center. But he offers a defensive presence in the middle that no other Bobcat provides.
Clifford has told Biyombo to lean on what he does best blocking shots, rebounding and not worry too much about his weaknesses for now. Thats a recurring theme for Clifford, who says players should spend as much time refining their strengths as addressing their weaknesses.
Biyombo was the seventh overall pick in 2011. Its hard to say whether hell end up justifying such a high pick, but its too early to give up on him. As soon as you trade away a big, it seems another one gets hurt. Its a lot harder finding another center than another guard.
Whatever got into Jeff Taylor, milk it: It seems the only thing Jeff Taylor lacked his rookie season was self-confidence. Hes quick, hes strong and hes smart. He can make 3s and guard a variety of mid-size players. He just had to believe he was that good.
Something changed, and it was apparent at Las Vegas summer league and Eurobasket, where Taylor represented his native Sweden. Taylor was aggressive and assertive. He was making his shot, constantly stealing passes and doing windmill dunks at the other end.
Thats the guy who can impact the Bobcats rotation all over the court.
Make power forwards chase Anthony Tolliver: The Bobcats signed Tolliver because he can play power forward and make 3-pointers. They hope that forces opposing power forwards to the perimeter to guard him, which could help open the lane more for Jefferson.
Tolliver wont be a big part of this rotation but he was brought in for that specific skill. Poor as the Bobcats spacing has been past seasons, he can hopefully put defenders in places they dont want to be.

VERY flattering, can get with no train too! I must have tried on 15 dresses over two visits. You know how they say the one you didn't even consider ends up being the one? Well that is truly the case for me. I hadn't looked at this one because it had a train and because the empire waist wasn't apparent to me from the photo. When I noted my concern to my consultant about the train, she told me she could order it without one. Perfect. Also, I found this the most flattering of the empire styles, there is a band that really visually cinches in your waist. I'm very happy and it was only $450! March 28, 2011
Look Beautiful and Slim This dress is magic. Without squeezing or pokeing it takes you down at least 2 dress sizes in appearance. It doesnt cause a lot of back fat hang over and it is made for the full chested woman. I didn't think I would ever feel this beautiful! March 27, 2011
She said heck YEs to the dress!!! Went to David's Bridal today not expecting to buy a dress. Just get an idea of what I wanted. I had the dresses I wanted to try on. My consultant decided to get something different for me. This was the third dress I tried on.. walking out of the fitting room and peaking out at the mirror I knew this was a keeper. I said heck yes to the dress!!! Perfect dress!!! Can't wait to marry my man! :) March 24, 2011

By SHARRON HUDSON
MILLSAP – With school staffs and students back from spring break, everyone is refreshed and there is much going on at all three campuses. One of the most interesting reports is on the high school fishing team's recent participation in their first bass tournament.
The team of six, along with sponsors, traveled to Marble Falls where the high school there hosted the event on Lake LBJ, which is on the Colorado River in Burnet County. Upon arriving on a Thursday the team took to the water for practice and decisions on where the most likely spots were located. Friday was filled by attending the tournament meeting and going through the rules, and teams of two (plus a captain) were assigned. When the big event came there were some misses, but also good catches, and the whole experience proved very rewarding for this newly formed club.
Members of the team are Beau Harrell, Thomas Richardson, Mitchell Coker, Andrew Norman, Nik Courrtney, and Klay Kaddatz. Glad the group enjoyed the tournament, and this club is a great new endeavor for our school district.
Over at the elementary school, students were recently presented a program by officials from Union Pacific Railroad on railroad safety. As tracks run right through the center of our town, this is much-needed information for our children. Many walk to school and to the store by crossing the tracks, as many of us have done across the years. The railroad workers presented safety measures for being around the tracks, and spoke about dangers associated with putting objects on the tracks. While the agenda was presented in a format that was interesting for the students, it was very helpful on the realities of the great need to be careful around tracks.
For all of the adults around here, and in other areas, where trains coming through are a part of daily life, statistics show that about every 115 minutes a person or vehicle is hit by a train, and in almost half of these collisions the auto warning devices are working properly. In some of these cases people make the mistake of thinking they can beat the train or that the train can stop for them if it must. Train crashes cause about 600 deaths per year and approximately 2,300 injuries.

A state judge Thursday approved the citizens petition authored by Sheriff Scott Walton and five others for a grand jury investigation of county commissioners Kirt Thacker and Mike Helm, and District Attorney Janice Steidley and three of her assistants.
The order was issued by Grady County District Judge Richard Van Dyck, giving the green light for the petition sponsors to start collecting the 4,487 registered voter signatures needed to convene the grand jury.
They have 45 days to get the signatures and submit them to the Rogers County Election Board for verification. If they succeed, a grand jury will convene within 30 days to begin inquiry into the issues of corruption and other wrongdoing raised in the petition.
Judge Van Dyck concluded the petition contained "a reasonably specific identification of areas to be inquired into; and the face of the petition contains sufficient general allegations to warrant a find such inquiry may lead to information which, if true, would warrant a true bill of indictment or action of removal."
Van Dyck was assigned to review the legality of the citizens petition by the chief justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court because the presiding judge of the Rogers County District Court, Dwayne Steidley, is the first-cousin of DA Steidley's husband.
In addition to the commissioners and DA Steidley, the petition targets Assistant District Attorneys Bryce Lair, David Iski and Tim Wantland.
Joining Sheriff Walton in sponsoring the petition for a grand jury investigation were Claremore police Det. John Singer, who has sued the district attorney in federal court on grounds she sought to destroy his professional reputation; Claremore police Lt. Steve Cox; local businessmen Russell Guilfoyle and Myron Grubowski, who are critics of the commissioners; and Billy D. Jones, the father of two juvenile rape victims.
The petition sponsors said they will begin gathering signatures immediately. They said a meeting of the group is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at Lynn Riggs Gazebo Park and members of the public are invited to attend.
DA Steidley has characterized the allegations against her in the petition as "baseless and pathetic." She also said the petition drive is politically motivated.
