MESSAGE TO LU ALUMNI - VOTE JOSH SHAPIRO FOR GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All!

Hope all is well, and you are all registered and ready to participate in this upcoming MIDTERM 2022 ELECTION. Hopefully by now, all my LU Brothers and Sisters, no matter where you are in this world, are locked and loaded and ready to BLUE - NO MATTER WHO.

I know that officially Lincoln U's administration, faculty and staff can't  officially publicly endorse any candidate.  Neither can our Alumni  Associations  formally endorse any party or candidate.  However, as individuals with common sense, intelligence, and a sense of propriety, you can make an informed, evidence based, individual decisions. So I'm presenting this to you!  JOSH SHAPIRO IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA!! 

And, since I have my own blog, ECLECTICALLY BLACK NEWS, and am not a 501(c)3 - nonprofit, or charitable entity - I can make recommendations, and  ENDORSE WHO I WANT.  And, those who know me know that I don't make frivilous endorsements.  

L-R Josh Shapiro Candidate for Governor Pennsylvania & Austin Davis Candidate for Lt. Governor

Of course, it's your prerogative to accept, or not accept, my recommendation.  But you know how serious I am about making sure we have the best possible elected officials in office so that we can continue to thrive, grow, and serve our roles as citizens, educators, and students, in Pennsylvania and beyond.

I can also let you know that this is NOT A PAID POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT - THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART AND STRAIGHT FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN INTERACTING AND COMMUNICATING WITH JOSH SHAPIRO WHEN LINCOLN WAS IN THE THROES OF A CRISIS OF MONUMENTAL PROPORTIONS.  

 

He stepped up to the plate in a way that made a critical difference in our continued existence.  In his capacity as attorney general, he really didn't have to answer our call. He could have relegated it to some assistant in his office, and continued with his own business as usual protocol.  But, NO!  He not only responded - he monitored the entire procedure and made sure that we did not fall prey to what could have been the ultimate destruction of our beloved Alma Mater.

Josh Shapiro saved Lincoln University from destruction at the hands of internal treachery - and made sure we were able to continue to grow and thrive as a stellar institution of higher learning.  A scant two years ago, while we were in the middle of the horrific pandemic, we were under siege.  Had it not been for his intervention and support for rule of law, integrity and stability - as well as the assistance of State Senator Vincent Hughes and State Representative Stephen Kinsey, Lincoln U might now be bulldozed, raised and now being developed as someone's bucolic condominium.

Of course his intervention made a difference that affected all Lincolnians - but this is specifically directed to Lincoln Alumni in the state of Pennsylvania - regardless of whether you're active in one of our Alumni Associations, or not: VOTE JOSH SHAPIRO FOR GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA - Let's show that we still exemplify the  WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, SAVVY THAT EXEMPLIFIES LINCOLN MEN AND WOMEN.

I am going on the record and saying that any and all  PENNSYLVANIAN Lincoln University Alumni, or current students, or faculty and staff should/must/had better vote for JOSH SHAPIRO FOR GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA!!  And his running mate for Lieutenant Governor, Austin Davis!!

 

Interestingly enough, Pennsylvania is one of 18 states that elects a lieutenant governor and governor separately.  So,  when Austin Davis was s/elected as  Josh Shapiro's running mate, it was also a signal that Shapiro was a game changer  in Pennsylvania's political old boy arena.    They are teamed together as a single ticket—just like for president and vice president—for the upcoming November 8, 2022 general election- So a vote for Shapiro is likewise a vote for Austin Davis!!  

I am hoping the editors of our LU Page will post my article.  It's essential to our future.   Of course you can insert a disclaimer that "my views don't necessarily reflect yours" - however, since we are engaged in freedom of speech and expression - I would appreciate it if you would please share this.

We cannot assume that our Alumni are really cognizant of the pivotal role Shapiro has played in the continued existence and survival of our beloved Alma Mater.

PS: Kudos and eternal gratitude to brother classmate Charles Latta for his vigilance in spotting the plot and helping us nip it in the bud from the beginning. 

Again LU / PA - JOSH SHAPIRO FOR GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA  - HAIL! HAIL! LINCOLN!! (of course, by extrapolition, I am also endorsing John Fetterman - but I guess you already knew that - right?)
