The United States of America has the greatest society in the world where truth, honesty, inclusion, and justice are professed to be inalienable rights. The past several decades saw challenges to these constitutional guarantees by dark forces. Forces that tear at the fabric of our nation include greed of corporate America and big banks, profiteering by lawyers, and delays and favoritism in the courtroom. Should the average citizen be forced to accept abuse and injustice at the hands of these powerful social entities when honesty, truth, and justice are rightly due? Could a high school educated, small town woman challenge and defeat the goliaths of big banking, corporate attorneys, and biased judges on her social security income after being cheated and disregarded by the purported fiduciaries and pillars of society? Elaine Amidon, now 87 years old, energized by her unwavering belief in goodness, inclusion, truth, and the American justice system endured a 30-year battle against such scoundrels.

Elaine’s career as an altruistic, community-minded entrepreneur and businesswoman was abruptly ended by suspicious, undocumented, and blatantly illegal bank activity coinciding with a multibillion-dollar bank merger between two corporate entities that sacrificed preferred clients for money and profit. Elaine’s life story exemplifies the decay of modern society’s ethics and morals for ill-gotten gains. Hopefully honesty, righteousness, and positive karma wins against the powerful forces of greed, money, cronyism, and unchecked authority.
