Article from the website:

Taxpayer Porkbarrel

(All of this information is "alleged" and was obtained by secret E.R.A.S.E. agents within the DCFD.)

Dennis Rubin worked as an instructor for University of Maryland Fire Institute and is friends with Steven Edwards (Department Head of UMD Fire Institute). DCFD is sending Firefighters to be trained at the Institute at a cost of $600,000 per year and that is opposed to being trained at UDC or being trained in house, as they traditionally had been. This is a trifling way of spending our tax dollars - $600,000 is an outrageous sum. Lehan has gotten approximately 45 days of overtime since January of 2008 though he has not served on an ambulance (which is customary in the DCFD if you take days off). He still receives a disproportionate amount of overtime and did so even when there was a surplus of firefighters - meaning there was no need for overtime!

SMELL FISHY to you? Yeah, to us too.

Damn all this started because he wanted people to do their jobs at 30 engine, what a racist asshole. I think E.R.A.S.E needs to get some smarter secret agents because there is no way in hell Special Ops. is 98% white. It's a shame the fishing tournament is that day, I won't be able to make it.

Sounds like that person who tried to decertify the union a few years ago is back. (don't want to mention any names but this sounds like his retoric) Do these people know what would happen if we loose union protection? You think it's bad now.... Be careful what you ask for.

People just have to try and keep things stirred up. There is no reason for this. With the morale being at the low point that it is now, this can do nothing but take it down even further. This is the kind of thing that makes for a hostile work environment. Why can't people (all races) just put all of this behind them and just do thier jobs. Many do not realize that by doing your job you create a better environment. Yes there are things that need to be taken care of, but don't let it happen in such a way that it interferes with your job. That is what this can do. In all my years in the Fire & EMS Service (over 30) I have seen this many times, and it does nothing but turn people against each other. People that were friends become enimies because of stupid shit. That is all this will create. You all need to open your eyes and think about what problems this can cause.

Dear Mr ERASE Rally Chairman (dude or dudette),

Could you please change the date of the PROTEST to say May 2, 2008, I am working on May1st apparently trying not to protect the lives and property of the Citizens,visitors and workers who are with in the confines of the District of Columbia!! Maybe you and I can bring the homeless from the shelter to stand with signs out front and give them a sandwich or even a drink:p!

I agree that the wholesale abuses from the department and City just keep on comming and I want them too stop cause (OBTW what are they so I can argue them with the POWERS TOO BE) I hate these abuses regardless of who, what, where and how!!


Let me start with this complaint.....The department went to mars for some EMS training who has been doing this training for over 30 years and did not hire someone from inside of DC who would have to start a program and would put off training for oh say another year or two or three...;)

EVERYONE JOIN US AT THIS RALLY AND BE AGAINST PEOPLE LIKE LT LEHAN WHAT A BAD, BAD MAN HE HIS DAMN HIM TO HELL and BEYOND!!

We at ERASE want you to remember this....Don't forget join us and help us to help you cause we really want to help you too help us seem legitimate so that we can help you and so on and so forth.. yeah, yeah thats the ticket! duuuuh....:(

OOOH OOOH Can I add my complaint to the list???! This one time I worked for Loo for Life and he actually wanted me to tuck my uniform shirt in AND do clean up at the firehouse!!!!!! Can you imagine! The nerve of that 20+ year Fire LT........asking a backstep fireman to actually do his job! WTF has the world come to?? Wow...come to think of it....this has happened at MOST of the firehouses I've worked at. I need to compile a list of all these mean ole officer types that want us to do our job so I can hand it over to ERASE and maybe even the ACLU. Al Sharpton, if your reading the watchdesk.....they're not treating me with kid gloves!!! I want something done now!! I think I should get a paycheck for doing nothing and looking like a fucking criminal at the same time!! Can you come tell the city that they owe this to me?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MORONS

I like how they want to e.r.a.s.e. racism, but they use durogatory words against blacks like "Uncle Tom". Give me a break, fucking hipocrites.

Maybe the Rube can summons the barbque team to rustle up some grub to feed the protesters, I think I will attend .... I might get a photo op w/ Jerimiah Wright or Al Sharpton....but on second thought I have better things to do like count the leafs in the woods behind my house

I had a great time at the rally. Brothers and Sister from the job, white, black, latino, and asian all having a good time together. The water, from what I hear, was a little choppy, and several people were rumored to have CHUMMED the bay a little more than what is actually needed. After rallying at the original starting point, the rod and reel, and then marching in protest down to North Beach Fire Company, all our brothers and sisters were seen enjoying a wonderful BBQ feast courtesy of the Coloniel, Brother Klinger.

I look forward to the next rally as we once again try to ERASE racism.
