the UTCC does not have any interest in casting any kinds of negative comments on any other organizations or personalities, particularly of the nature of derogatory names or non-productive criticism..
our view is that WE have a certain philosophy and ideology and principles which guide us in our actions. we realize that other persons or other organizations may have OTHER philosophies and ideologies that are different than ours, and there are many forces in the taxi industry in the Chicagoland area that may be opposed to our ideas.
in a democracy, it is in the marketplace of ideas that these differing ideas will contend, and the PEOPLE will decide by voting with their feet, their hearts and their minds, which organization and guiding philosophy will win out and become most popular and effective.
we encourage anyone with differing ideas and strategies to please put forth your ideas so that the people can decide which is the one they agree with, and which is the one they wish to join in with.
we don't believe in personality politics, or personal attacks. we hope and wish that any of our supporters would understand this and respect our wishes that you not make these kinds of attacks in our name, and/or use us as a comparison with other entities, personal or organzational.
thank you, peter enger
ps. lets keep any criticisms of anyone, including ourselves, on a respectful level, and aimed toward making us all a better movement in the interest of justice for cabdrivers, human rights and respect for our common human dignity.
The UTCC is a product of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). The UTCC depends upon the AFSC to hold meetings and publish its monthly newsletter, the "UTCC Voice". It seems its registered agent with the State of Illinois is a female lawyer from the AFSC.
The AFSC began its political (not charitable) efforts involving cabdrivers through its cutely-named "TWO Project", which is an acronym for "Taxi Worker Organizing". It also reflects its partnership with the CIOGC (Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicagoland).
I have never seen anyone from the CIOGC. I have only seen the Regional Director of the AFSC, Mike McConnell, and his subordinate, Prateek Sampat.
Prateek Sampat casts more than "negative comments" about "other organizations or personalities". He is known to lie, exaggerate, or manipulate others into believing and spreading such misinformation. His personal interests are his continued employment with the AFSC and promoting the radical identity politics shared among them, particularly "immigrant" and "people of color" issues.
Both Prateek Sampat and Peter Enger have suggested to me that my white skin and U.S. citizenship from birth divides me from my fellow cabdriver significantly. In fact, they have emphasized this in attempting to alienate me from those we hope to unify.
I have never made a racial, derogatory statement towards anyone involved with these efforts. I have been the subject of reverse racism. I am deeply offended by those who have implied the opposite.
The UTCC is simply not an independent, democratic organization of Chicago cabdrivers. It is a dependent, fascist organization of cabdrivers and non-cabdrivers supported by the AFSC who must agree with their masters.
The Chicago Cabdriver Organization (CCO), which I founded and was twice elected by dozens and scores of current Chicago cabdrivers to lead, is an independent, democratic organization. In fact, it has no financial complications in its activities whatsoever, as the CCO has no treasury or treasurer.
As its President, I have been recognized as a source of information and have assisted many cabdrivers with their problems. Despite criticism from a few who want me to stop so they can better promote themselves and their unpopular political agenda, I will continue to help anyone in anyway I can to the best of my ability.
I am not the only politically-active cabdriver who has questioned the motives, goals, and tactics of the AFSC and its puppet, the UTCC. Both Melissa Callahan, who called for one of the most participated cabdriver strikes in Chicago, and Steve Wiedersberg, who led several marches of thousands of cabdrivers to protest the Daley Administration's policies and practices, have avoided any further contact or association with the AFSC or the UTCC.
There are current UTCC members who have recently expressed to me the same concerns that Melissa Callahan, Steve Wiedersberg, myself, and many others have already experienced when dealing with Prateek Sampat and Peter Enger.
I have been informed by someone I consider a reliable source that Peter Enger has difficulties with booze or drugs. Despite my repeated, direct inquires, Peter Enger hasn't confirmed or denied this accusation. I tend to accept this as a confirmation, especially when observing Peter Enger's behavior over the last six months or so.
Peter Enger should not be representing the UTCC, let alone Chicago cabdrivers. He certainly doesn't represent me. It is disrespectful to delude anyone into thinking he does. He is deluding himself into thinking that he ever will. One symptom of alcoholics or substance abusers is their detachment from reality. Peter Enger lives in a fantasy.
Prateek Sampat fantasizes about a world which will never exist.
These imperfections sufficiently prove that they are human. They are indignifying themselves, however. I have no right to expect them to be perfect, or to agree with me at all. I don't; maybe they will, maybe they won't.
Thank God, Truth exists separately from what they claim or wish it to be. It is impervious to the lies of these two guys. The reputations of the targets of these contemptible characters aren't as invulnerable, however. I believe that both George Lutfallah and I are only two of many who will make sure that everyone is protected from Prateek Sampat's and Peter Enger's lies, deceptions, and delusions.
I encourage anyone who has questions for either of these two guys or the UTCC to post them here. Don't hold your breath while waiting for them to honestly reply.

Long Ears is looking at his rear end in a mirror here is what came out:
The cco is a product of my imagination (POMI). The cco depends upon the POMI to hold imaginary meetings and post my unimaginative flights of fancy, the cco Long Ear Hee-Haw. There is no registered agent with the State of Illinois because the cco does not exist.
In my POMI I began my long ear mule rule (not donkey) efforts involving cab parts through my cutely-named POMI Project, which is an acronym for Product of My Imagination Project. It also reflects my partnership with the FNPWPTBFOCD (Fake Newspaper Publishers Who Pretend to Be Friends of Cab Drivers).
I have never seen anyone from the POMI. I have only seen the Figments of My Imagination (FOMI), George Fullofit, and his subordinate, Jonathan Bullmeister.
Jonathan Bullmeister casts more than negative comments about other organizations or personalities. He is known to lie, exaggerate, or manipulate others into believing and spreading such misinformation. His personal interests are his continued employment with the FNPWPTBFOCD and promoting the nasal identity politics shared among them, particularly ignorant and people of long ears issues.
Both Jonathan Bullmeister and George Fullofit have suggested to me that my grey donkey skin and un-American hee-hawing from birth divides me from my fellow asses significantly. In fact, they have emphasized this in attempting to alienate my long ears from those we hope to donkify.
I have never made a nasal, long-eared hee-haw towards any donkey involved with these efforts. I have been the subject of reverse hee-hawism. I am deeply offended by those who have implied that I am a mule, not a donkey.
The cco is simply not an independent, not a democratic and not an organization of any kind. It is a POMI-dependent, POMI-fascist non-organization of donkeys and fools supported by the POMI who must agree with their FNPWPTBFOCD masters.
The Imaginary Chicago Cabdriver Organization (icco), which I also fantasized in my head and I alone twice elected myself to lead, is non-dependent, undemocratic imaginary non-organization. In fact, it has no financial complications in its activities what-so-ever, as the cco has no treasury or treasurer – all the more proof that I am running a scam and that the cco does not exist.
As its Imaginary President, I have been recognized by myself as a source of information and have created many imaginary donkeys and mules with their imaginary long eared problems. Despite criticism from a everyone who wants me to stop hee-hawing so they can better promote themselves and their growing, real, lawful and legitimate organizations, I will continue to hee-haw at anyone in anyway I can to the best of my foolish disability.
I am not the only asinine-active donkey who has questioned the motives, goals, and tactics of the POMI and its puppet, the cco. Anyone who has any sense at all has avoided any further contact or association with the POMI or the cco.
There are current cucumbers who have recently expressed to me the same concerns that only myself, and many other imaginary friends have already experienced when dealing with Jonathan Bullmeister and George Fulofit.
I have been informed by someone I consider a reliable source that George Fulofit has difficulties with inability to see the difference between fantasy and reality. Despite my repeated, direct inquires, George Fulofit hasn't confirmed or denied this accusation because he can’t tell if they are real or imaginary. I tend to accept this as a confirmation, especially when observing George Fulofit 's behavior over the last six months or so.
George Fulofit should not be representing the FNPWPTBFOCD, let alone write about Chicago donkeys – whom he despises because he was once a donkey driver and he hated himself because of it. He certainly doesn't dress like me. It is great to delude anyone into thinking he does. He is deluding himself into thinking that he ever will. One symptom of people who suffer from inability to see the difference between fantasy and reality is their detachment from reality. George Fulofit lives in a fantasy.
I, myself fantasize about a world which will only exist inside my donkey head.
My own imperfections (and long ears) sufficiently prove that I am donkey. I am indonkeyfying myself, however. I have no right to exist, or to agree with myself at all. I have long ears.
Thank The Long Eared Father of Fools, Long-eared foolishness exists separately from what I claim or wish it to be. It is impervious to the lies of these two guys. The reputations of the targets of these contemptible characters aren't as invulnerable, however. I believe that both George Fullofit and I are only two of many who will make sure that everyone is bad-mouthed and disrespected even if we have tell lies, deceptions, and delusions.
I encourage anyone who has questions for either of these two guys or the POMI (Products of My Imagination to get the heee-haaw out of here. Don't hold your breath while waiting for me or them to honestly hee-haw.

It is the policy of the UTCC to never say anything positive unless we can find an excuse to claim credit for it.
