The Venus Voice | February 2011 Issue

The February 2011 issue of The Venus Voice is now online. This week, hundreds of copies of this paper will be distributed and put on news stands, and it is sure to create a firestorm. Due to unexpected delays in January, the February issue is the January issue --- there have been so many variations and delays and conditions beyond my control, but I believe it was for the best, because now we have another issue (this is the fourth issue ever) packed full of dynamite instead of scraps of little fireworks.

FYI: Venus water customers received a water bill and a city press release that alleges false allegations made by The Ellis County Observer and two contributors to The Venus Voice. However, the full truth was not made known in that press release, and readers can decide for themselves what their own mayor said and wrote that contradicts everything in the city-issued press release:

Beer & Wine in Venus?

The Venus Voice publisher Joey G. Dauben is planning to launch a beer and wine petition in the city limits of Venus in 2011. A total of 35 percent of the gubernatorial (governor's race) voters within the city limits is needed to sign petitions. The Venus Voice is working on obtaining that number as we speak from the Johnson County Elections Department. There are a couple of steps that need to be conducted before voters can see a local-option referendum in town:

• A legal notice must be published in either the Alvarado Post or the Midlothian Mirror, or any newspaper with general circulation (at least one year) in the town. The Venus Voice will qualify as a general circulation paper in October 2011, but the earliest a beer and wine election can be conducted is May 2012. 
• The 35 percent figure of voters is needed to sign the petitions (example: 100 petition signatures.)
• The Johnson County Commissioners Court calls the election

 Opposition to beer and wine will come from the churches, but probably the stores in Midlothian as well, but the way to grow a municipal corporation we call a city is to grow it economically. Therefore, more sales tax dollars being spent in town will go to the town instead of Venus residents driving to Midlothian to buy beer and thus, giving Midlothian the sales taxes.

For those interested in getting Venus "wet," contact us at: www.facebook.com/jdauben or publisher@thevenusvoice.com.


The City of Palmer is now "wet" because of this same strategy. We got the signatures, we got the votes (52 percent to 47 percent on Nov. 2) and now we have the experience to make other towns wet.

Venus Middle School Field Trip to Dallas' Strokers Motorcylce Shop Outrages Parents

Venus Middle School teacher Susan Dingler took students on a field trip to Dallas' Strokers Motorcycle Shop recently, and it has outraged several parents in the Venus ISD. Strokers is also the reality TV show home of Ma's Roadhouse. Appropriate for adults, maybe, but middle school students? The Venus Voice will let parents decide: http://www.elliscountyobserver.com/?p=18260


One also has to ask where VMS Principal Randall Buck is on this situation as well. He also serves the public as a city councilman. A video about Buck on YouTube can be found here: http://www.elliscountyobserver.com/?p=18075

Please pray that I will not be hindered in getting this out in the next few weeks, and that the Lord will bless it, and cause many to see how extensive and vast has been the view that the Authorized Version is the preserved, inerrant, written Word of God.

City Administrator Jerry Reed: 2 Social Security Numbers, Falsified Resume, Drained Church of Thousands

Direct Link to the Original Story: http://www.elliscountyobserver.com/?p=18092

City Administrator Jerry Reed: 2 for Him, None for You

Falsified City Application, Used 2 Social Security Numbers

WF Church: Reed Stole Thousands of Dollars

DAVID KLINE
The Venus Voice
david@thevenusvoice.com

VENUS – City Administrator Jerry Reed is a busy man. A man with this many skeletons in his closet must need a lot of body bags by now.

Documents obtained through open records requests show that not only did he falsify his application to the City of Venus, but also that he used a different Social Security Number in several applications to the City of Fort Worth in 2003.

In an email from 2004, Fort Worth Human Resources stated, “Mr. Reed was only offered and selected for [a] Public Safety Communicator [position]. We have a different Social Security # for this person but same address.”

In Reed’s several applications to the City of Fort Worth, ranging from Water Systems Sampler to Code Enforcement Officer, the same DIFFERENT Social Security number was used.

Other interesting facts are stated in his applications such as the company Liberty Inc. as a former employer.

Located in Wichita Falls, Liberty Inc. is actually Liberty Baptist Church.
Reed’s salary for this job is listed as different in several applications, anywhere from $50,000 to$56,000 a year.

His positions are listed as senior administrator in one, chief executive officer in another, and even founder and CEO in another application, even though he listed a supervisor in all of them: Monty Walker.

In an interview with Venus resident A. B. Owens, it is alleged by Liberty Baptist Church members and relatives that Reed was a pastor in Wichita Falls who drained the church’s funds and ran off with another pastor’s wife, Betsy.

Reed was married at the time to Glenda Ford, who he has since divorced. The woman that he allegedly left Wichita Falls with is Betsy Reed, his current wife. Betsy accompanies Jerry to city council meetings.

In his application to the City of Venus, his previous employment page is peculiar when it comes to Liberty Inc. That’s because it’s not listed.

Instead, it simply states him as being “self-employed” with a yearly salary of more than $100,000 and that his reason for leaving is he “sold out and moved north.”

Sold out, indeed. This man was a supposed man of God, yet he stole the community’s money and ran off with another man’s wife.

Who is to say he doesn’t do the same in Venus? A city administrator has their hands in the city “cookie jar” more than anyone else on the council, including the mayor himself.

So, while our roads remain in a state of despair and upstanding citizens of Venus continue to work hard for a day’s pay, Reed is living the good life. The day may come where Reed takes everything for himself and leaves none for the rest of us.

I Was Falsely Accused...And Then I Was Wrong...

The name "Joseph" says it all, but here I am, once again, defending myself from false accusations, this time, in the form of an anonymous letter sent to at least one Venus ISD school board member as early as Tuesday, and several others in the community this week. When I drove to Venus this afternoon for their special school board meeting and was informed of this accusation, I immediately e-mailed Superintendent Bobby Matthews requesting that I at least get one minute before the start of the special meeting to tell the board that it was definitely not me who sent the anonymous letters. When I write something, when I say something, when I broadcast something, you know it's coming from Joey G. Dauben. I don't hide behind cowardly anonymous names. If I want to express my viewpoints, why in the world would I launch this Web site, start more than a dozen newspapers? My characteristics don't say, "hides behind screen names." I'm brazenly open and blunt about where I stand...

From: Joey G. Dauben
To: Bobby Matthews, VISD Superintendent
4:23 p.m., December 16, 2010
Subject: Anonymous letter...

Bobby,

If it may be proper, BEFORE the meeting starts tonight, I want to tell you and the board members that I am being falsely accused of some anonymous letter being sent.

I just got into Venus and I have been hit with an accusation that I sent 3 board members a threatening letter.

I can state without ceasing that I had *nothing* to do with ANY letter.

I put my full name and reputation to *everything* I write or say.

I won't agree with the board a lot, but I'll be the FIRST to defend them against any threats.

-Joey

PS: even if it's just one minute prior to the invocation, I want to tell all of them.

Here is the superintendent's response:

From: Bobby Matthews
To: Joey G. Dauben
11:31 p.m., Dec. 16, 2010

Joey,
We believe you. I receive letters often that are unsigned. Take care.
Bobby Matthews

Sent from my iPhone

And that's exactly what I told the VISD school board before their meeting began tonight. Right in their face. I wanted them to get it from me that it was not me, and that disagree with their politics or not, I would be the first person to defend them against threats.

I will be getting a copy of this one-page letter soon, and will disclose it to the public. In the letter, it mentions my name, and Lori Walkup, a friend who has had some very public spats with neighbors, the district, etc. There is even a threat that I've got school board trustees' phone lines tapped. I can assure you for one thing, I don't even have a printer, and two, wiretapping is highly illegal.

I WAS WRONG, I WAS WRONG, I WAS WRONG...This false accusation stuff is going to stop, and that goes for me accusing others in Venus -- wrongfully -- of things that I was only given bits and pieces of information on. I want to take this time to apologize to several VISD board members who aren't tied in with the corrupt Joe Russell Mafia ---- and I want to issue this public defense of four board members who have allowed me to "see the light." Greg Hoffman; Ashley Lawson; Kristi Sutton; Les Owens. I'm pretty sure this is going to stir all sorts of hell tonight, but I don't care. I have seen enough over a span of three months and three school board meetings and hours upon hours of meetings privately to know that they have the best interests of VISD at heart, and that they want to expose the corruption prevalant in the VISD.

Trustee Les Owens is definitely deserving of his very own photo. 

To those who led me astray, it's time to start packing your bags. I now know who the real enemies are, and I'm coming after you with every newspaper I have....
