FOR THE PEOPLE... law in plain language episodes

  • Episode 172 Spare the rod, Spoil the child, Physical Discipline vs. Abuse!
    When does discipline of a child or children turn into abuse?
    Where is the line drawn and who is responsible for drawing that line?
     Do you ascribe to the old adage, If you “Spare the rod, you Spoil the child”?
    When if at all would physical discipline be meted out to children?
    And ds physical discipline ultimately harm children down the line?
    Does physical discipline desensitize children to violence?
    The FTP Fam explored this topic and Simply the producer chimed in
     with her always unique and poignant perspective!
    Where do you stand? Tune in and check it out!

  • Episode 171 huddled masses or merely illegals? Pros & cons of illegal immigration!
    Malcolm X said, “You didn‘t land on Plymouth Rock,
    Plymouth Rock landed on you”
    How does this apply if at all to the issue of
    illegal aliens or illegal immigrants? Since folks who are in
    this country are here in violation of our established rule of law,
    are they then criminals? Should they be considered and
    treated as criminals?
    What about those who are here merely seeking a better life
    for their families? What is the answer and what by golly
    is the difference between undocumented immigrants
    and illegal immigrants?
    The FTP Fam explored all these issues & blew up the airwave!
    Take a listen if you dare! Tune in to hear FTP live,

    We all know Jennifer Lopez, Oscar De La Hoya,
     Pitbull, and hopefully everybody knows Sonya Soto Mayer

    and public trial, we may not be compelled to provide testimony or
    evidence  that tends to incriminate them In addition the 5th Amendment

  • Episode 168 Straight Outta G-town, Legal Q & A
    This week on ...
    For the People... law in plain language
    with Debra D. Rainey, Esq.
    “Straight Outta G-town”
    Legal Q & A
    Straight Outta G-town with the FTP Fam was undoubtedly one of our most
    fun Legal Q & A shows.  Listeners from all over the country and
    Pennsylvania sent in questions and comments seeking legal information
    and showing love to FTP. Questions were asked about Mortgage Foreclosure,
    what to do and whether a citizen can sue Politicians and other leaders
     for criminal activity. One woman wanted to know how she can get
    her hands on her deceased husband’s safe deposit box, another asked
    if there were laws that require regular citizens to voluntarily snitch
    and much more! This show was hot and a lot of fun.

    Saturday, August 8, 2015 on ...
    For the People... law in plain language
    with Debra D. Rainey, Esq.
    Crackin Up!
    The Social, Physiological & Emotional affects
    of Crack-cocaine!
    The FTP Fam endeavored to DeBunk the Crack Baby Myth;
    Introduce the recreational Crack user and spill the beans about all
    of the  social, physical and emotional ills that go hand in hand
     with crack cocaine.  Do you buy into the conspiracy theory that the
    government thru CIA’s Clandestine activities is responsible for crack
    flooding the inner cities and low income hoods? Do you believe the dealers,
    pushers and cartels bear the brunt of the responsibility since they are
    only motivated by the all mighty dollar? Or how about the addicts
    themselves, shouldn’t most of the blame fall on their shoulders,
    since according to some the addicts made a conscious
    choice to become an addict.
    This episode will surprise a lot of you and enlighten the rest.
    Tune in and enjoy!

  • Episode 164 'Prison Babies, Children of Incarcerate Parents'
    This week on ... 
    For the People... law in plain language
    with Debra D. Rainey, Esq.
    PRISON BABIES, CHILDREN OF INCARCERATED PARENTS
    What are the challenges that face children whose parents,
    particularly the primary parental caretaker is incarcerated?
    What manner of sort exists for these children? Should Society
     get more involved and step up to ensure that these
    children aren’t doing the time along with their parent(s)?
    The FTP Fam, along with Shari Ostrow Scher, President & Founder
     of Children of Incarcerated Parents Partnership, (COIPP)
    discussed the trials and tribulations that children of
    incarcerated parents face in their daily lives.
    The Compassionate Lawyer espoused that she would
    like to see a presumptive law created that would perhaps
    in her warped reality created some manner of a
    ccountability for the incarcerated parents to their children.
    Boy did that ideal cause sparks to fly.
    Education and Knowledge is powerful.

  • Episode 163, I's Married Now, Same Sex marriage, Why all the noise?
    This week on ...
     For the People... law in plain language
    with Debra D. Rainey, Esq.
     I’s  Married Now
    Same Sex Marriage,
    Why all the noise!
    Surely people can't want our Constitution to be interpreted in any
    way that would legally permit any Americans, who are guaranteed
    Due Process of  and Equal Protection under our laws to be
     denied the basic right to commit to that person they love!
    Why all the noise about Same Sex marriage? The truncated FTP Fam
    was joined by  Niche Adderly as we dissected the US  Supreme Court’s
    decision that prohibited all the 50 States from banning same sex couples
    from obtaining a marriage license.  A few listeners called in with
    their points of view.  One thing is certain the right of same sex couples
    to be legally married is no more paramount than folks’ religious
    beliefs for or against same sex marriage,
    they are different and mutually exclusive. 
    Tune into this episode, if you dare.
