SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP

I want to support Donald Trump.  But, as I write to him in the letter following in response to a request for contributions, I have to ask him for one consideration before I do.

Dear Mr. Trump:

I would be pleased to support you, including offering foreign policy advice based upon my experience as a journalist covering world affairs.  This offer is conditioned, however, on an apology I believe you should extend to Senator McCain and our POWs that I addressed on my blog at www.stevepatten.blogspot.com and that you can read by going to my 8 May 2016 blog entitled "McCain and Trump." 

Consider, please just consider, the goodwill you would generate by a heartfelt apology to Senator McCain and our POWs.  I suggest to you it would mean a lot to the electorate in this country.

In regard to my qualifications on foreign policy advice, please go to:

Stephen, without you, we never would’ve won.

This is your movement -- all I did was fight for you.

And I will continue to fight the special interest, Washington, D.C. power brokers and mainstream media who are trying to silence you and keep you down.

They think they can buy this election, but they’re DEAD WRONG. They have no idea who they’re up against. There is nothing stronger than the American people.

We won’t give up. We will keep fighting.

Contribute anything you can -- I mean it, anything -- toward our end-of-quarter fundraising goal to stand up to Crooked Hillary and her left-wing allies.
CONTRIBUTE $100   CONTRIBUTE $75   CONTRIBUTE $50   CONTRIBUTE $35   CONTRIBUTE OTHER AMOUNT

While Crooked Hillary is raking in millions from the special interests who want to buy our country, I want to show them that we have MILLIONS of people chipping in whatever they can to save America.

Contribute $35 before the end-of-quarter FEC deadline.

Thank you and God bless you,



Donald J. Trump

MY $14 MILLION BILL TO CBS NEWS

In my 20 January 2016 letter to CBS News president David Rhodes I asked again CBS News pay me for my final expense reports dated 21 January 1987.  I offered to accept the $14,459.11 CBS News owes me in those reports and would waive any late fees and interest.  CBS replied it would not pay because the expense reports were being submitted some 30 years too late.  That is not true, of course, as the expense reports are dated January 1987 and that is when CBS News got them.

I gave Mr. Rhodes 30 days after receipt of my 20 January 2016 letter to pay.  After CBS declined, claiming the 30-years late submission, I wrote a second demand letter, dated 8 March 2016, pointing out that I could document CBS News received the expense reports nearly three decades ago, and waited.  I warned Mr. Rhodes in both letters CBS News indebtedness to me would substantially increase if I added late fees and interest.

Finally, in a letter and invoice dated 16 May 2016 I billed CBS News for $14,223,331.59, interest at 12% annual billed monthly at 1% plus a 1% monthly late fee.  Interest and late fees charged over 29 years, from 1 May 1987 to 1 May 2016.  I advised Mr. Rhodes the interest and late fees would continue until CBS News fulfilled its financial obligation to me, including all accrued interest and late fees.    #CBSNews

Background on Steve Patten versus CBS

“Foreign Correspondent” co-author Steve Patten is the editor for Lee & Grant International, a subsidiary of Lee & Grant Company.  The foreign correspondent of this book, he formerly reported for CBS News in wars around the world, in the Far East, the Middle East, and in Central America.  He and his business partner, Pattie Mosure, currently report for Lee & Grant International on the War on Terror.  Pattie and Steve are the co-owners of Lee & Grant.  

He was a captain in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and spent years as a CBS News reporter searching for American POWs and MIAs from the war while stationed in Bangkok, Thailand.  Much of “Foreign Correspondent” describes his efforts as well as the efforts of the     U. S. Government and others trying to locate lost Americans from the war.

  

After CBS News selected him to be correspondent in Beirut, Steve was preparing to leave for his new assignment in Lebanon when the CBS News foreign editor told him on the telephone:  “The word on the streets of Beirut is you’re dirty.”  The management of CBS News was accusing him of being an undercover agent for the Central Intelligence Agency!!

 

He vehemently denied the charge and demanded CBS tell him where it got this information, which it refused to do.  CBS News eventually fired Steve after he continued to insist it reveal its secret sources of information, giving him a one-day notice of termination and sent him back from his post in Seoul, South Korea with a one-way ticket to the U.S. and a one-month’s severance.  CBS News delayed for over a year before paying the one-month’s severance and refused to honor his final expense reports as a reporter for CBS.

Steve pursued his demands that CBS reveal its secret sources for its CIA charges against him after his firing and went first to CBS News management and then CBS Inc.  He confronted the president and chief executive officer of CBS and the CBS corporate board at corporate shareholder meetings.  He launched a letter campaign addressed to CBS officials and passed out leaflets in front of the CBS News building and at the CBS corporate headquarters. 

CBS never revealed its secret sources.

Recently, Steve sent a written demand to the president of CBS News that CBS pay him for the final expense reports that were dated 21 January 1987 and amounting to $14,459.11.  He offered to accept this amount, without any late fees or interest, if CBS paid within 30 days.  CBS replied it would not pay.

Steve sent CBS News a bill May 16^th, 2016 including the original expense report monies due plus late fees and interest for 29 years, for $14,223,331.59.

WHAT OUR BOOK, "FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT," IS ABOUT

When the U.S. sends its young men and women overseas to war, those Americans must know if they are captured, if they are lost, if they falter, if they fall behind, America will come back to get them and bring them home. The United States of America does not leave its troops behind.

This is a story of a CBS News reporter, Steve Patten, striving to maintain that pledge. It covers over 40 years, from when he was a U.S. Marine serving in South Vietnam to the wars he reported on in the Middle East, the Far East, and Central America, including the War on Terror that Steve and Foreign Correspondent co-author Pattie Mosure currently report on for their company, Lee & Grant International. It also takes place in wars of a different kind as he becomes a target himself.

Unjustly accused by CBS News management of being an undercover agent for the Central Intelligence Agency, Steve fights on in his search for POWs and MIAs. Working also to clear his name, he demands CBS disclose its secret sources for its CIA allegation when CBS told him, “The word on the streets of Beirut is you’re dirty.” His confrontation with CBS goes all the way to the president of CBS Inc. and the CBS corporate board.

This book is intended to inform you, the reader, of efforts to bring lost Americans home and of the role of a journalist involved in those efforts. Most of all, this book is intended to keep faith with our heroes and our heroines.
