The Persecution of Governor Andrew Cuomo: A Prime Example of New Yorkers STUCK ON STUPID - And Other Burning Issues

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo under persecution for alleged womanizing - is this real or is this conspiratorial? 

 

I have long maintained that caucasoids are stuck on stupid.  I've also been concerned about the fact that Dems can't see the forest for the trees, and are often prone to shoot themselves in the foot.
There are times that I am convinced that they parallel those creatures who eat their young.

Tragically, they don't know when they're winning.  They don't know how to continue winning, and they have absolutely no clue about loyalty or staying on message.

Here we are in a battle for our very souls, and these bozos decide they are going to go after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's cajones, and make the insipid declaration that he no longer can govern.
How ridiculous!!  Or did they suddenly become inflicted with convenient amnesia and his adroitly competent handling of the Pandemic that ate New York?   It is as ridiculous as the allegations that he harrassed 200 females during his tenure as Governor of the State of New York - when did he find the time?  Between the TV broadcasts?  While he was trying dispatch much needed assistance to the overwhelemed hospitals, nursing homes, schools, while simultaneously dealing with the predator in chief who was diligently undermining his efforts to save the state?  Worse yet is asking him to step down, not only without a hearing, but also while there are even more egregious things happening - right under their very noses that they have yet to rectify, or reign in.  And also dealing with the fact that the whole thing is specious and conspiratorial - plotted by repuglycons who know how knee-jerk Dems can be (emphasis on jerk), and the penchant for the 15 minutes of fame many have fallen under the spell of, as social media continues to undermine the moral fiber of the country.

This country is in crises - for New York allow themselve to be distracted form the issues at hand, to a pile of BS, shows that we still haven't learned the name of the game.  What crises, you might ask? 

For starters:
1) The liar in chief is still running amok trying to gather forces to overthrow the government!  Why?  Why hasn't he been arrested - cited for alienation and sedition and attempting to overthrow the government and inciting to riot, and supporting enemy cells throughout the US where insurrectionists are being trained to subvert and foist violence in communities of color.

2) You have at least 17 governors throughout the US exacting oppressive, regressive, racist laws to deprive Black people of the right to vote; to prevent Black people and people of color from the privilige of self determination.  If you want to go after governors who have committed egregious, illegal, inhumane crimes against American women, men, children - those are the ones to demand to step down first.

3) You have a Senator, MATT GAETZ, who's allegedly a pedophile and self trafficker, that has yet to be dealt with, despite the full exposure of his egregious exploits - still making decisions - the only reason he's still there is because the repuglycons are afraid they will be in the minority if he is found guilty and forced to step down.  On a similar track, you have Marjorie Taylor Greene, who, if she was in a regular 9-5 job would have been fired, put under psychiatric observation, or institutionalized, being allowed to run amok - much like the predator in chief - terrorizing people who are there to serve their constituents.

4) Covid - Delta Version - is rearing it's ugly head - and NYC dodged the bullet primarily because of the leadership of Andrew Cuomo -  the same Governor these idiots are now trying to impeach - and nobody thought to check whether or not this is a Repuglycon (republican) plot, to weaken the mighty strength of New York - to end up with another Pataki like monster for 9 years because no one really sat down to examin the real motive behind this witch hunt.  200 women?? Seriously?? Then when did he find the time to govern?  What were doing in the in between times.
 
5) Dems - especially the caucasoids, show their true colors when they are called upon to take a stand - sadly they are weighed in the balance and found extremely wanting.  This was recently cited on the issue of the key infrastructure bill - where NOT ONE BLACK CONGRESSMAN/WOMAN WAS ON THE PANEL!!! But the caucasoids shrugged it off.  They also say the reason they are not for the filibuster - which is egregiously racist - is because even if it does happen, in 4 years, when the repuglycons are back in power, they will just re-instate it.  This came out the mouth of Arizona congresswoman Sinema - who apparently has no interest in maintaining, or expanding the Democrats majority - but has already made a foregone conclusion that the Repuglycons will be back in the majority during the midterm.
 
It appears to me that the Dems need to take a deep, hard look at who they have in their party; what they really stand for; are they being secretly bought and sold under the table?  It's distressing to hear that Dems are clueless on how to win and then, after winning, how to rule!! 
 
I am also concerned about President Joe Biden - who, by the way, is doing a good job!  But we need better.  We need show of force, shock and awe, and some serious EXECUTIVE ORDERS to correct and eradicate the four plus years of egregious revisionism and racism leveled by the repuglycons under Boehner (during the Obama Administration), and then tagged team into existence and handed over to McConnell, when Bone-head Boehner finally stepped down.   NEED I REMIND YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, IN MY RECENT OPEN LETTER TO YOU, THAT PRESIDENT LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON USED THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO ESTABLISH THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT - YOU NEED TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW!   Be leisurely later - the country is in crises - issue a warrent for T-rump's arrest; put out an APB for his kids; undo all - AND I DO MEAN ALL - the harm he his done including finding a way to FIRE DEJOY FROM THE USPS; or at least set him up so that he has absolutely no power while he is still there - which by the way is a conflict of interest.

I think President Biden needs to spend more time reigning in the onslaught of the mediocre meanstream media minions who are pushing this story and realize this is a trap by the repuglycons to detract from the fact that he needs to be using his EXECUTIVE POWERS to stem the tide of other things that are happening to undermine our very narrow margin majority.  If you can't do it, hire a real political strategist who really knows how to deal with the mediocre media and make sure his message comes through instead of being obviated by bogus anchor people.  

When you turn on the TV the first 15 minutes of the faux news is about T-rump - not Biden. It's a major effort to brainwash American people - the more you hear his name, the more the enters the subconcious of the gullible American viewing public who actually think they are watching the news, when they are really being propagandized.  If you plan of getting your plans done, this is the time to get your PR - or you can kiss the 2022 mid-term goodbye.  Since when was it legal to exact egregious laws to deprive people of their voting rights.  But no one on the news is talking about ethical and constitutional issues that crop up with these governors who are trying to deprive Black people of voting.  If you are going to force governor Cuomo to step down, think again - start with governors in TEXAS, GEORGIA, and other areas across the US that have signed on to this.

I AM GOING TO SAY THIS AGAIN SO YOU DON'T MISS MY DRIFT: 

It's disingenuous to be talking about asking GOVERNOR CUOMO to step down, while you have a bunch of asshole governors who are committing even more more heinous acts than he's been accused of.

Our so called legitimate news media, as well as Faux/Fox news, are hoping to brainwash enough of us so that in the midterms we don't turn out, and the gremlins regain the majority.

Wake up y'all
You are being hoodwinked - again!
We cannot afford to lose any ground.
Grow a pair and take over for real, not just on paper.
WE WON - TO THE VICTOR BELONGS THE SPOILS 
Stop the madness
You got the power of the pen!
Make it happen
We're watching you!!
Stay Blessed

GUEST POST NYTIMES: New York to ‘Rewind’ Re-Opening in Hard-Hit Neighborhoods


By Gloria Dulan-Wilson   

Hello All:  

Well, this is not at all how we want to start our Sunday, or our week; but we have to deal with the fact that the spectre of Covid-19 still looms large over New York, as well as America.  Sadly, much of it is the result of blatant disregard for the guidelines that were outlined by both Governor Cuomo and Mayor DeBlasio.  This has precipitated an uptick in contamination, which they hope they will be able to stem before it reaches the horrific proportions experienced in the early stages of the pandemic, causing the loss of thousands of lives of New Yorkers - not to mention jobs, unemployment, and peace of mind.  I am sending up a prayer for my fellow New Yorkers - as well as all those who have been inflicted or infected by this horrific virus.  Stay Blessed - GDW

    New York to ‘Rewind’ Re-Opening in Hard-Hit Neighborhoods

    Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York announced plans to close nonessential businesses, schools and day care centers in nine neighborhoods where the coronavirus testing positivity rates have been higher than 3 percent in the past 7 days.

    I’m going to be giving an update that gives me no joy at all. In fact, it pains me to be putting forward this approach that we’ll need. But in some parts of our city, in Brooklyn and Queens, we’re having an extraordinary problem, something we haven’t seen since the spring. And we have to address this issue forthrightly. That’s why we’re here on a Sunday after several days of continuing to review all the data, look at everything from the point of view that has gotten us this far as a city, always relying on the data and the science. What has become clear is that there are a number of neighborhoods now that have continued to have a high level of coronavirus positivity and that requires stronger action than we’ve had to take for many months. So the plan is to rewind in these nine zip codes. To rewind, to go back, to address the problem by using the tools that we know work, which is to ensure that non-essential businesses are not open and a variety of activities are not happening. Again, no joy in saying that. But that, unfortunately, we do know is what is necessary to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

    Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Sunday that he intended to “rewind” the reopening in nine neighborhoods in New York City that have had a testing positivity rate of more than 3 percent over the last seven days.

    That means the closure of nonessential businesses, public and private schools and day care centers in those neighborhoods, which are in Brooklyn and Queens. Many of them have large populations of Orthodox Jews, and the virus has been spreading rapidly in those communities in recent weeks.

    The mayor said he would also put lesser restrictions on 11 other neighborhoods where the rates are rising.

    In total, the mayor’s plan would affect only 20 of the 146 ZIP codes in the city. Still, the move reflects the growing fear of a second wave of the virus, and marks the first major reversal in the city’s reopening since it was hit hard by the outbreak in March.

    Continue reading the main story

    If approved by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, the plan would go into effect on Wednesday.

    “Today, unfortunately, is not a day for celebration,” Mr. de Blasio said. “Today is a more difficult day.”

    The nine ZIP codes subject to the most severe restrictions include portions of Far Rockaway and Kew Gardens in Queens, and Borough Park, Midwood, Gravesend, Bensonhurst and Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn.

    The restrictions would be in place in these neighborhoods for two to four weeks, if not longer, depending on the success of efforts to curb the virus, the mayor said.

    The city is also closely watching the 11 additional ZIP codes, which Mr. de Blasio described as a “real concern.”

    They include parts of Williamsburg, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Manhattan Beach, Bergen Beach, Kensington and Crown Heights in Brooklyn. The Queens neighborhoods include Rego Park, Fresh Meadows, Hillcrest and Jamaica Estates.

    Continue reading the main story

    In those neighborhoods, the city will curtail indoor dining, which has only just begun, and close gyms and pools.

    Coronavirus Schools Briefing: It’s back to school — or is it?

    Most of the schools set to close are nonpublic schools, largely yeshivas in Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods that have been open for weeks. About 200 private schools will close, and 100 public schools, officials said.

    There are about 1,800 public schools in New York City. The new restrictions come just three days after the city’s school system fully reopened. Children returned to elementary school classrooms on Tuesday, and to middle and high schools on Thursday. Principals and teachers have been working for months to prepare for in-person learning.

    The mayor emphasized that the school closures were not prompted by outbreaks in schools, but came “out of an abundance of caution.”

    “We have seen very little coronavirus activity in our schools,” he said.

    Houses of worship will remain open throughout the city, even in the nine ZIP codes where the new restrictions will be adopted.

    Mr. de Blasio said he planned to work with the state on enforcement measures. He said he was not certain about the details, but that “we want the maximum education, maximum mask distribution, maximum enforcement.”

    “We’ve had 1,000 city personnel out in the key ZIP codes over the last few days in a very, very intensive enforcement effort,” Mr. de Blasio said. “We are finding some places where enforcement is needed, but really not that many in the scheme of things. But we will keep pounding away with that and we will certainly work with the state in every way possible.”

    Continue reading the main story

    Mr. Cuomo offered no immediate comment on whether he would approve Mr. de Blasio’s plan. The two have often feuded, and have been at odds over how to handle the outbreak.

    But as Mr. de Blasio was making his announcement, Mr. Cuomo did issue a statement that criticized local officials across the state for their failure to curb the virus in hot spots.

    “Local governments have not done an effective job of enforcement in these hot spot ZIP codes,” Mr. Cuomo said.

    In his statement, he made no mention of whether a similar lockdown would be adopted in portions of Rockland and Orange Counties, north of the city. Both have large populations of Orthodox Jews, and have seen sharply increasing infection rates in recent days.

EMERGENCY RED ALERT: SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION FROM DRACONIAN BUDGET CUTS

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All!

THIS IS A DIRE EMERGENCY! !
OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION IS THREATENED BY GOVERNOR CUOMO'S BUDGET CUTS!  
WE NEED YOUR HELP IMMEDIATELY TO PUT A STOP TO THIS MADNESS.  
CONTACT: 
SAM BROWN - EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION 
AT 212-316-7040 - 
THERE IS NOT A MOMENT TO LOSE!!!
THIS MESSAGE IS ALSO TO ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS - REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE  - MANHATTAN, BROOKLYN, BRONX, QUEENS, STATEN ISLAND, CONGRESS!!
ALL OCF ALUMNI!!
ALL PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN!! 
ALL PEOPLE WHO LOVE CHILDREN!! 
ALL NEW YORKERS, AND PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER!

SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION!!

Now that I have your attention,  let's talk:

Our Children's foundation was founded 47 years ago by Sam Brown, who at the time was a social worker in Harlem.  He was working in communities were at risk children were surrounded by drugs, apathy, no recreation facilities, and either lived in a single parent family, where there was  working mom or, mom on welfare as head of household; or where both parents worked, but the child came home to an empty house after school, with no adult supervision - a sure fire formula for delinquent activities.

In 1968, when the Black community was being flooded with drugs, Sam Brown implemented a concept and a dream that he had been working on for years - OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION - an organization that provides after school and year round activities for at risk youth -free of charge - 365 days a year, from 9:00am to 9:00pm!  His theory was that drug dealers didn't take holidays - they were out there trying to addict our youth 365 days a year, so Our Children's Foundation, in order to be affective, also had to provide 365 services in drug prevention and keeping OUR CHILDREN off the streets - if they were to be affective in changing the paradigm!  

Using a combination of grants, including that of the DEA, and other private and public foundations, Sam Brown took an abandoned building and transformed it into an urban oasis of learning and personal development for inner city kids - who come as far as the Bronx and other boroughs to be a part of his program.  He was out to change the stigma and stereotype so many have had for OUR CHILDREN.  He was determined to change the paradigm.

And change the paradigm he did!!!  Not only has he maintained that policy for providing services and keeping the doors open 365 days a year - INCLUDING HOLIDAYS -  for 47 years; his staff are held to the highest standards of integrity and behavior.  They have to be role models for the children of Our Children's Foundation: NO PROFANITY! NO GUM CHEWING! NO SLOPPY CLOTHING! POLITENESS AND PATIENCE, BUT FIRM DISCIPLINE AT ALL TIMES!  And it works - and has been working for 47 years (I said that already, didn't I? Well it's important - it goes to the effectiveness, the dedication and success of his methodology).

So why is Governor Cuomo trying to short circuit a program that works by cutting their budget, while there are so many other bogus programs out there that are sucking up money and only look good on paper, but have little to no impact, and very little to show in the way of accomplishments?  Good question!  I think it might be because no one has informed him of the tremendous success of OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION!  Maybe we've been too quiet about the most successful program not only in Harlem, but in the world.  

Sam Brown is not one to toot his own horn.  He's more focused on delivering on his promise  there is NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR OUR CHILDREN, WHO MAY BE 10% OF THE POPULATION, BUT ARE DEFINITELY 100% OF OUR FUTURE!  

As a result of his efforts and dedication, Sam Brown, and OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION, have taken children from the threat of low self esteem and failure, to that of self-empowerment, academic and educational excellence; youth who might have been doing drugs, are instead making contributions to their community.  Every year Sam takes some 400 youth to Black College Tours, and a two-week "vacation" to historically Black sites - where they stay in top hotels, thereby dispelling the concept that they aren't good enough, or can't enjoy the finer things in life.  OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION staff teach etiquette, study skills, elocution, and proper comportment (that's what they used to call it when I was in school) so that, instead of a rowdy bunch of adolescents, you have young ladies and gentlement that are welcomed and respected everywhere they go.

Twenty years ago, Sam Brown's OUR CHILDREN FOUNDATION took 360 students to Selma, Alabama, to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge, after a month long study of the Civil Rights Era - that's twenty years before the Fiftieth Anniversary Commemoration!!! When the movie came out, the first person I thought of was OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION - I wondered if they had been included in the movie.  They certainly should have been.  But, no matter, the experience, the significance and the memory will last those children a life time - as will the principles upon which Sam Brown established OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION.

Each day, after their regular school day is completed, the children come to the foundation.  They have to check in. They are not allowed to lounge on the streets outside the building.  Their first task is to complete their homework.  OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION coordinates with the schools to make sure the children are progressing appropriately in their classes. Completion of homework is the key to participating in the myriad of activities they provide. But it doesn't stop at homework - each child has to have signed a pledge upon being accepted into the program to participate fully, be polite and respectful of the other students there, to have a major project of interest that they are required to complete and present - this is about self development - not just sports.

They learn table manners,  public speaking, project management, dance, music - I could go on - but right now THIS IS AN EMERGENCY RED ALERT TO SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION FROM GOVERNOR CUOMO'S DRACONIAN BUDGET CUTS!!

THEIR SUCCESS RATE THUS FAR HAS BEEN 99.44/100% - NOBODY'S PERFECT - BUT THEY COME CLOSE ENOUGH!

OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION has been instrumental in the college education of at least 1,200 students over it's life time, as well as helping countless others complete their high school education and go on into careers of their choosing.  

THIS IS NO FLY-BY-NIGHT ORGANIZATION 

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL GOVERNOR CUOMO - Keith Wright, Charles Rangel, Denny Farrell, Bill Perkins, Charles Barron, Eric Adams, Letitia James, Latrice Walker, Yvette Clarke,  Gregory Meeks, Ruth Hassell Thompson, Inez Dickens, Jose Serrano, Andrea Stewart Cousins, Carl Heastie, Annette M. Robinson, Walter Mosley III   -  
HANDS OFF OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION!   
This has absolutely nothing to do with political territory - this has to do with the very lives, the very future of our youth.  So don't stand on ceremony and pontificate about where your constituency is.  When it comes to OUR CHILDREN your constituency is the whole of New York!!

A rally will take place in front of OUR CHIDREN'S FOUNDATION, which is located in Harlem at  527 W. 125th Street in Harlem - but there so much more that needs to be done to drive the point home that, instead of cutting the budged to OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION, Governor Cuomo should be rewarding them by increasing the budget and giving them the support they need to do even more.

NOTE:  (Please do not confuse them with another organization "Caring For Our Children Foundation" - they are two totally different organizations).,

Or call to offer your assistance - 212-316-7040 - Ask for Sam Brown, or one or his competent staff 
members,  who will be happy to update you on the status thus far.

Or call/write/email Governor Andrew Cuoma immediately, if not sooner - for your convenience, I've replicated
a form from Governor Cuomo's contact page; but you can feel free to utilize other methodologies - like TWITTER,
FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, or even A PERSONAL VISIT TO ALBANY!
 
Far too often, organizations that are essential in the Black community are overlooked by the larger superstructure,
not necessarily because they're not doing a good job, but because it's a widely held secret in the community,
but not as well known in other circles.  THE NECESSITY FOR OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION is 
even more critical than ever before.  They have proven that their methodology works - to destroy them would
be a critical blow to the future of the children of Harlem - and evidence that there is little to no concern or regard  
for the welfare, wellbeing and future of our youth.
 
AGAIN, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY RED ALERT - IT REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND
ACTION - SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION FROM THE STATE'S DRACONIAN BUDGET CUTS - stop
them from trying to balance the budget on the backs of OUR CHILDREN.

Okay, here we are - ground zero - the day of days - only a strange creature from another planet, or someone in a permanent coma does not know what day this is:  TODAY IS NOVEMBER 4, 2014, THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS ARE UPON US - People in New York started voting at 6:00AM, people in Philadelphia started voting at 7:00AM - GET UP, GET OUT AND VOTE - BEFORE WORK, AT LUNCH, AFTER WORK, ON YOUR BREAK - no matter what the time there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE - VOTE LIKE YOUR VERY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, BECAUSE IT ABSOLUTELY DOES.

Now that I've gotten your attention, here are some updates you need to be aware of :  BLACK WOMEN FOR POSITIVE CHANGE  (BW4PC) just sent me an email voicing their selections for Maryland and DC - so those of you who are in that area might want to check in on this release:

Please remember the extreme importance of  voting  today.  Our ancestors gave their lives so that  we could have this remarkable opportunity after  being denied the right.

Lets do them PROUD!

Follow  Your Bliss,
Karen L. Carrington

BE SURE TO VOTE TOMORROW FOR YOUR LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICES!  THERE ARE MANY IMPORTANT ELECTIONS AROUND THE NATION AND THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITIES LIES IN THE BALANCE. 

BW4PC HAS ENDORSED

MURIEL BOWSER FOR MAYOR OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

AND

LT. GOVERNOR ANTHONY BROWN FOR GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND!

View this great "Color of Change" ad below and share with younger voters. Thanks to Pat Duncan, BW4PC Denver, Colorado for sharing this ad.

                                     ****************
ColorOfChange has launched a powerful national voting campaign #IfTheySpeakForMe focused on the inclusion of Black voices, specifically the voices of Black women. Using hidden cameras, Color of Change staged scenarios where people would have to come to terms with how it feels to not have a voice. Click below to see how Black women at a salon respond to a stranger making decisions about their hair.
Black women at a salon respond to a man in a suit that tells the hair stylist to straighten their hair?
COMMENTS FROM COLOR OF CHANGE
Isn't this absurd? How dare some strange man invade your personal space and then determine what is going to happen to you and your body. Our fictional scenario may have been about hair but in the real world, the stakes are much higher. Political leaders are passing legislation about your right to reproductive healthcare, equal pay, the even the freedom to vote. As we prepare for mid-term elections, we cannot allow political leaders who do not have our best interests at heart to make decisions on issues that impact our daily lives. It's simple — either you speak up or someone will speak for you.
Recently, Black women have emerged as the voting demographic to watch out for, achieving record-breaking turnout in the last few elections. Through the use of social media and powerful video content, #IfTheySpeakForMe gives Black women the opportunity to discuss key election issues and ensure that their voices are heard.
With so much on the line for our communities, voting in this year’s election has become more important than ever. On November 4, let’s get out to vote and speak up for our concerns.
The entire ColorOfChange.org team.

After you vote, don't stop there, go to one of the campaign headquarters and man the phones - 

In Philadelphia,  gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf has a phone bank at 5537 Germantown Avenue - they could definitely use your assistance.  Ask for Brian Taylor.

Do what you can do to help a neighbor who may  have mobility issues,  or be visually impaired to get to the polls and back home.  
Take some coffee, tea or doughnuts to those who are working on the polls because they will be there all day long.  
Put a prayer out that we will defeat the repuglycons (republicans to those who want to be pc) in this midterm in a manner that sends a clear signal that Americans will no longer be bullied by big business and incompetent, uncaring political bureaucrats who are only in the position for their own pockets and self-aggrandizement.
Email everybody you know regardless of whether you like them or not and remind them that it is their responsibility to vote.
Be prepared to provide back up for those who are being hassled about bogus ID issues - make sure you and they know your rights -and that those rights are respected.  Stand up for yourself and your people - do not allow yourself to be disenfranchised or 'jim crowed' - you are AN AMERICAN CITIZEN and you have a constitutional right to vote.
If you see someone unjustly treated at the polls pull out your cell phone and record it - then call the Civil Rights organizations and the legal system - do not tolerate discrimination.
