ICYMI: RAPHAEL WARNOCK IN GEORGIA MIDTERM RUNOFF FOR SENATE, DECEMBER 6, 2022 - IT'S NOT OVER TIL WE WIN!!!

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson
HELLO ALL!

Well here we are, one week after the most pivotal election ever - the MIDTERM ELECTION OF 2022!!
 
AND WE MADE HISTORY!!- As I predicted earlier this year, this is a 3-PETE!! WE DEFEATED T-RUMP AND HIS MENIALS THREE TIMES IN A ROW.  AND NOW WE HAVE THEM ON THE RUN!!
 
2022 will go down in history as the year America kicked fascism to the curb, sent a message to T-rump and his maniacal maga/maggots, and a signal to the rest of the world, that we will not allow fascism and political violence, greed, lies, propaganda, and neo-nazi mentalities to take over in America.  Women - Black, white, of color, young gen-z's to modern Seniors - turned out to make sure they know our bodies and our decisions belong to us!!
 
Pennsylvania issued stunning blows to the maga/maggots by electing JOHN FUTTERMAN SENATOR over Odd Oz, who sneaked in from New Jersey and was sponsored by T-rump; and JOSH SHAPIRO is now Governor-elect, clearly defeating insurrectionist and traitor, Mastriano, who had actually tried to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021!! Turning Pennsylvania from Red or Purple, to a solid BLUE!!!
 
New York also did us proud by making Kathy Hochul the first woman ever to be elected governor, and returning my Sister/Friend Letitia "Tish" James as Attorney General!! Despite the repuglycon's underhanded efforts to steal the election. 

Did it solve all problems?  No!  I'm embarrassed to say that my home state of Oklahoma is still sickly "red."  And Floriada!!! I was praying for Val Demings - who would have been a vast improvement over what currently passes for leadership - did not win - and she should have - I wonder if they pulled that same trick of dumping votes in the ocean like they did when Al Gore was running for president.  Bears looking into, don't you think? Remember the hanging chads, dimpled chads, etc.
 
So, there are definitely other major issues that still have to be resolved - 400 years worth of issues to be exact! But we didn't need the compounding complications of con-artists to complicate already difficult issues.  And certainly, political violence - something that had become a policy of the alt-right wingnuts, had to be dealt with.
 
Did we win everything?  Not yet!  But we are monitoring those "too close to call" districts to make sure every one of our votes counted.  Clearly there are some loonies who managed to squeak through - Marjorie Taylor-Green clearly showed that there are people who are so masochistic and stupid (and racist) that they will vote against their own self interests and the good of their community, and continue supporting a menace, instead of  electing someone who could have made a critical difference in their progress and well being - such as Marcus Flowers.  And the defeat of Mandela Barnes still boggles the mind in Wisconsin - considering the posture of his opponent.

Of course, the good news that the Senate majority is Democratic, means President Biden can continue the wonderful job he's doing in passing much needed legislation, and maintaining programs that are absolutely necessary for us to move forward. Yay! 

But, let's not get it twisted - the fight isn't over yet.  We can't sit back and pat ourselves on the back just yet.  The upcoming runoff in Atlanta on December  6, 2022,  is still key to our very existence -  Pastor Raphael Warnock must prevail over T-rump puppet Herschel Walker!  We need  to - No! We must -  help our brother in this fight to retain his seat in the Senate!!  It also stops Georgia's being trammeled under the heel of the Repuglycons.  Victory in Georgia is an absolute must. 





Brothers and Sisters, December 6, 2022 is less than 30 days away!  We've been in defense mode for the past few months - but now we have go to full on offensive - because every underhanded lie, distortion, bribe, propaganda will be leveled against Rev. Warnock by Walker's puppet monsters - T-rump, McConnell, and the rest of those who know how to manipulate Walker, an individual whose claim to fame is as unofficial stud service, while ducking the responsibility of fatherhood.  Sadly, Walker is the epitome of the stereotype fostered by caucasoids of what Black men represent.  They would like nothing better than to have him in the Senate so they can continue to manipulate him as an embarrassment to Black people worldwide.  It would show that we have no standards of quality as a people if we support him over Raphael Warnock -  an educated, intelligent, spiritual, ethical, Black man. 
 
 
Georgia vote for Raphael Warnock in the December 6, 2022 Runoff



It's not only a slap in the face of the late John Lewis, who stood in the  breech for  Black people from the Selma debauchery, through his excellent record in Congress, where he continued, through his activism,  to exemplify his dedication to Black people. Walker is an example of the stereotype caucasoids hold of  Black people - to be easily duped by a few dollars and a pseudo celebrity.  They tried to pull that in Pennsylvania with Oz, and we kicked him back over to New Jersey.  Georgia must now send Walker home to his family, and making speeches to his Heisman Trophies.

For those of us who did not have Black history, allow me to fill you in on  something the caucasoids won't teach you in school:  When Thurgood Marshall, the first and only Black man on the Supreme court - died in 1993, after having served since 1967, the repuglycon party was in power.  Instead of putting an equally intelligent, competent and accomplished Black man in his place, they put Uncle Thomas Clarence, as a means of punishing Black people and reversing all that Marshall had done and stood for.  And he has done their bidding ever since - even reversing our right to vote!

This is the same reason they back Walker!!  They know he would be as detrimental for issues facing Black people as Clarence Thomas is in the Subprime court.  They own Walker lock, stock, and barrel - and they can dangle him like a puppet on a string, and get him to do their bidding - which will definitely be detrimental to Black people.

Not only can we not allow Walker to happen to Black Georgians - but Black people throughout America will be harmed by this.  Even though there is a "majority" in the Senate, selecting a sell out to represent Black people - regardless of what your political affiliation is psychologically damaging to our children, and shows that we have no to very low standards as a people!!

WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE HERSCHEL WALKER ELECTED TO ANY OFFICE OF ANY CONSEQUENCE FOR THAT MATTER.

Now, I don't live in Georgia, and can't vote there.  And there are many others saying the same thing.  But, just like we did when he faced the runoff in 2020, we can still help - with our contributions, our phone calls, our connections with our friends, relatives, associates and organizations in Georgia.  Of course we can pray, and those prayers are absolutely necessary since it's come to light that there are several Black churches who suddenly received large sums of money from the alt right wingnut repuglycons to "improve" their churches - in exchange for not supporting Warnock!!!! The caucasoids used divide and conquer to do what they've always done when it came time for us to unite and prevail.  However, this time it won't stand, as church members are beginning to open up about the identities of the menace-ters - and are coming together to support Warnock despite them.  I think we can look to see a major shift in Georgia's clerical leadership in the near future.

As I said before, all eyes are still on Georgia - Raphael Warnock is now the only one who can show that Black Georgians and Georgians of good consciousness vote their highest and best self interest, not their racism.  Stacey Abrams should have been elected governor.  Instead Georgia continued with a miscreant who is allowing the Chinese to take over properties that are essential to the well being of the state.  Now, more than ever Georgia needs Warnock to make sure legislation and programs are fostered for their benefit.

So, how are we going to help, since we don't live in Georgia?

1. We can contribute to Raphael Warnock's campaign - as little as $3.00 to as high as $250.00 - these will be matched.  FOR MORE INFORMATION LOG ONTO:

2. We can phone bank and contact the voters so they know how much we still depend on and value Georgia.

3. Let's lift high the accomplishments Georgia made before it became a "red" state, and how those glories are still possible

4. We can, and most certainly must, PRAY FOR GEORGIA AND FOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK - and a victorious Runoff on December 6, 2022
 
5.  Fund Souls to the Polls vehicles to make sure everyone has transportation to and from the polls
 
6.  Continue to pray for Warnock's Victory - as well as the victory of those Dems who are still too close to call

7.  PLEASE FILL IN YOUR OWN IDEAS HERE:


SO DON'T DISBAND YOUR ORGANIZATIONS YET - let's come together in a concerted effort to help Raphael Walker, and any other candidates who may be in hotly contested outcomes - to 

Make sure we get a clear majority in both the House and the Senate.
We certainly want Nancy Pelosi to continue her sterling job as speaker of the house!
And what better way to send a signal to those repuglycons who cruelly mocked the vicious attack against her husband than to maintain a clear majority in the House of Representatives as well! 
We have to go for all the marbles!!

Again, congratulations to those who have won their campaigns.  We are so proud of you - but now we really have to make sure we see a VICTORY IN GEORGIA FOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK AND THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA, AND DEMOCRATS THROUGHOUT THE US.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE LEAVE NO DEMOCRAT BEHIND!!!
and
IT'S NOT OVER TIL WE WIN!!!

IN THE SPIRIT OF JOHN LEWIS, MAYNARD JACKSON, REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., AND ALL WHO HAVE SACRIFICED TO  MAKE SURE WE GOT THIS FAR, AND CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD, GEORGIA MUST MAKE SURE THAT RAPHAEL WARNOCK WINS THIS RUNOFF!!
 
NOW THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Stay Blessed &

COUNT DOWN TO MIDTERM 2022 - Bingewatching the Debates -- Y/OUR MIDTERM VOTES MATTER - VOTE BLUE - NO MATTER WHO!!

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Before we get into the debates that I followed, please remember that not all of the candidates for The House of Representatives and Senate seats participated in debates.  Also remember that there are approximately 436 seats up for grab in the House of Representatives - so it's practically impossible to follow them all.   And because there are more than 400 seats up for grabs,  it's important for you to know who is running in your area.  It's important to keep all the Democrats that are already in office, defeat all the republicans (repuglycon)  that are currently in office and replace them with Democrats - and make sure you know about all the legislation that is relevant to your region. 

When I say nearly seat in the House and Senate is up for grabs - please take it seriously!! We have absolutely no margin for error.  But if we get up, get out and vote - whether in person or by mail, or absentee ballot if you are overseas, in the military or out of the country - WE GOT THIS!!

And just one mis-step on our part; one person sitting it out at home, one person not knowing where to go and vote; or too lazy to vote, or too "old" to vote, or too "bored" to vote - will cause us to lose big time.

This also means that no matter where you are, who you are, even if you're formerly incarcerated, or the richest man or woman on the planet, to a person who is "homeless" - Y/OUR VOTES MATTER, IS PRECIOUS AND ESSENTIAL TO Y/OUR FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN.

It doesn't matter if you think voting doesn't affect you - IT ABSOLUTELY DOES!  So do it anyway!  Now that you are registered, your responsibility is to make sure you 
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE - BECAUSE Y/OUR MIDTERM VOTES MATTER!!  
And we're depending on you - actually - we're depending on each other.  We're in this together.  And the repuglycons are counting on us to sit it out, back stab each other, and shoot ourselves in the foot by missing our opportunity.   So let's fool them!  Let's fool them like we did in 2018, 2020 - and now a three-peat in 2022!

We have no room for divide and conquer - trickery, lies and deceit.  We have to whole soul and wholeheartedly be endorsing and voting for them during this crucial MIDTERM ELECTIONS, watching the midterm debates will.  WE have some crucial elections in key states

Over the past few weeks I've bingewatched some of the key debates and came away shaking my head at how depraved the Republican/repuglycons really are.  In the face of overwhelming evidence that they are truly, (and righteously) afraid of our Black intelligent candidates - who are truly game changers in an era of post T-rump predatory political  practices!  Which is absolutely why we have to fulfill their fears by winning all the seats by wide margins, and taking over both the House and the Senate!!



VAL DEMINGS soundly trounced Marco Rubio in their debate.  While he tried to make her look as if she was the "angry Black woman" - a dog whistle to rabid racists in the south, she came up with policies, programs and plans that far outweighed anything Rubio had to offer.  Only a moron, masochist or mendacious fool would vote for Rubio in the face of overwhelming evidence that VAL DEMINGS IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR FLORIDA.  The statistics after the  debate show that Val Demings with a 56% margin of approval over Rubio's 42% - and that 42% was stretching the imagination quite a bit. 



VAL DEMINGS IS RUNNING FOR US SENATE IN FLORIDA - TO REPLACE THE REPREHENSIBLE MARCO RUBIO 








 
 
 
RAPHAEL WARNOCK's debate with Herschel Walker made it clear to everyone that it was an absolute no brainer:   WARNOCK was clearly the best choice for Georgia!!   Actually, WARNOCK has already proved it during his first two years in office.  What I don't want to do is so vilify one Black man over another, forcing some of us to mistakenly see Walker as an underdog, and give him an erroneous "sympathy vote"  - or worse yet, "a celebrity vote."  Actually, repuglycons are counting on the gullibility of some of our people  to fall for his  see his  quasi celebrity status and vote for him on name value.  Lest we forget, the Repuglycons are  only backing Walker as  seat filler to take over the majority in the Senate.  They are counting on his ignorance because they know they can manipulate him to vote against his own people,  the same way Clarence Thomas is used as a tool to undermine our rights in the Supreme Court.  We know that all skin folks aren't necessarily kin folks - but some time we need to be reminded that that also goes with making a selection for a representative who will be in office for 6 years - with no way of getting him out.  And you definitely don't want that person to be Herschel Walker. 


REV. RAPHAEL WARNOCK


Walker actually said T-rump was a friend of his - which should scare us all to pieces, and  be a red flag  - literally!!  Anyone who would  associate with someone who tried to overthrow the government, and who is still lying about the presidential election, is an enemy - regardless of whether he's Black or white.  T-rump and his repuglycons  don't like Walker -but they want someone they can manipulate!  They would back a hog if it could run for office and give them a majority.  T-rump is famous for bringing mediocre, incompetent individuals into positions of responsibility so he can manipulate them, because they wouldn't have the mental capacity, nor the courage to challenge him when he comes up with his cockamamie destructive ideas. 

More distressing, however, is to find that there are several so-called Black churches in Georgia that are taking money from T-rump and the repuglycons to undermine Warnock.  Instead of souls to the polls; there are some ministers who have sold their souls to try to bring the brother down.  People in Georgia need to be awake, aware, alert, and active in exposing these menacesters (ministers) and making sure that no weapon formed against Warnock and Georgians shall prosper.  Those traitors to their own people are both jealous of Warnock, and take money to bring him down - and by so doing, bring Georgia down as well.  Double-triple your voter turn out to make there efforts in vain!  


MANDELA BARNES - Wow!! What an impressive brother - he set the bar so high in Wisconsin, his opponent never really came close to being a challenge to him.  It was really rather sad - the incumbent Ron Johnson - who kept trying to revert to "good ol boy" subversive innuendos. The lies  rolled off of him like water off a duck's back.  Barnes handily laid out his roadmap for the future of Wisconsin.  Ron Johnson apparently had nothing to offer, and is clearly relying on the largess of dark money to get him over.  His stance on women's rights is cause for alarm - as well as his policy on health and education.  MANDELA BARNES IS THE CLEAR CHOICE FOR WISCONSIN!!
MANDELA BARNES




MARCUS FLOWERS  had it all over maniac Marjorie Taylor Greene - Have mercy!  If God was really in the business of smiting someone for lies, Greene would definitely have been burned to a crisp.  She opened her mouth and a  bunch of lies and accusations that had absolutely no bearing in reality or sanity came rolling out without taking a breath.   She just lumped a string of crap together and then seemed to throw it up against the wall to see what would stick.  She literally tried to bait Marcus Flowers into trying to refute her crap.  But Flowers, of course, was totally cool as a cucumber - erudite, intelligent, purposeful, and on point.  Only the most blatant racist, or the most ignorant degenerate would choose Greene over him.  Even Georgians in her gerrymandered deep redneck area aren't that depraved.   They deserve better.  However, we do know that in some racist areas, folks would rather shoot themselves in the foot, than to deal with the truth.
A review of the clips from the January 6th hearings showing Green spewing out her inanities all over the media, shows that she was very much part of the plot to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021 - it  exposes her for the liar and traitor she truly is.  I truly hope (pray)  her base gets so fed up with her madness they vote for their future without her.  She is a traitor to the country,  a continual to  embarrass them, and a block to their progress.

MARCUS FLOWERS



STACEY ABRAMS and Brian Kemp:  Okay, I know my brothers and sisters are going to get on me for this, but Kemp's accent annoyed me to no end.  He sounded so country bumpkin against Stacey's cool, refined, well modulated intelligent voice.  Not only that,  I was totally shocked to find that Georgia, like Africa, is in the throes of a hostile Chinese takeover of farmland and properties.  WTF???  Just that fact alone should show that Kemp is a sorry excuse for a governor.  Combine that with the lack of comprehensive, affordable health care and it's clear a continuation of  four more tragic years with Kemp as governor, and Georgia is headed for even more tragedy.   There are some critics who are saying Stacey does not have the vote of Black men because they feel she is moving forward without them.  Kind of tragic when you realize that this insinuous like is being floated by repuglycons - So I wanted to deal with it head on:  The old saying is A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS is also true with STACEY ABRAMS AS GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA - And it takes all Georgians - Black, White, Male, Female, regardless of religion, education, or any other designation to make a choice that will benefit a state that has been losing ground under Kemp.

STACEY ABRAMS FOR GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA



JOHN FETTERMAN won the moral debate over Mehmet Oz - while Oz may have had the edge on the verbiage - owing to his more than 30 years of televison; but his accomplishments, moral fiber, intelligence, honesty were totally missing in action. His views on the woman's right to choose was between the woman, the doctor and the politician in office.  His snake oil medicine man attitude, and his attempt to dupe Pennsylvanians that he actually lived in the state after he had sneaked across the border from New Jersey blatantly shows he cannot be trusted.  Fetterman would not be the first person to have suffered a mild stroke and recovered from it to lead to an even more exemplary life.  And, while his speech suffered somewhat, his accomplishments, honesty, concern, integrity, activism are still alive, well and shining forth.  He will make an excellent Senator, just as he made an excellent Lt. Governor. 




BETO O'ROURKE:  HEY TEXAS!!!  I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO - YOU HAVE TO HELP BETO BECOME GOVERNOR OF TEXAS - THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE BEING PUNCHED OUT BY THE RACISM AND DEPRAVITY OF THE CURRENT INSANE INCUMBENT. The current Governor of Texas is a racist, redneck, traitor - T-rump supporter.  I'm appealing to all my friends, relatives, and former classmates who live in Texas - Vote/support/elect BETO O'ROURKE FOR YOUR GOVERNOR.  JOEL OSTEEN, LAKEWOOD CHURCH, T.D. JAKES THE POTTERS HOUSE, all the mega-progressive centers of worship must come together to pray and then vote to rid the state of the pariahs that are dragging the state into perdition.  We are all collectively praying for Beto's victory as Texas's next governor.   

BETO O'ROURKE FOR GOVERNOR OF TEXAS



JAN PERRY D/CA is running for Congress to succeed Karen Bass, who is running for Mayor of Los Angeles.  She has served 12 years on the Los Angeles City Council - and has distinguished herself in bringing much needed programs to the Los Angeles region (https://janperry.com/about/).

Developed 5,670 affordable housing units including permanent supportive housing for those formerly homeless.  Established the full continuum of care for homeless services, including expansion of the City’s emergency shelter program and development of thousands of units of permanent supportive housing for the chronically ill.   Worked with non-profit housing developers to ensure housing for working families, seniors, recently emancipated foster youths, and formerly homeless individuals.

JAN PERRY



KAREN BASS is running for Mayor of Los Angeles - and has served as Congresswoman of the 37th Congressional District.  It should be obvious by now that money should not be able to buy votes - and when it does, there are serious consequences to be faced as a result.  Just look at what's happened to the US since T-rump aligned with the Russians, who were able to change votes that were cast for Hillary Clinton to T-rump.  BTW the fact that T-rump was able to get away with this the first time around was the very reason he tried to say Biden had done the same thing.  He knows all too well how it's done - he used the very same techniques to begin with. 




JONATHAN L. JACKSON  son of Rev. Jesse and Jacquie Jackson, is running for Congress in Chicago's 1st  Congressional District. - to improve the quality of life for all; to fight for comprehensive job training and higher wages; affordable housing and down payment assistance; improved public transportation; improved education at all levels; and better access and more affordability in health care. He will work to expand daycare and child care, and make it more affordable for everyone , regardless of their ability to pay.  Of Course I'm pulling for Jonathan Jackson - I've seen him as his dad's wingman; but I've also seen him hold his own in working in behalf of Black people over the decades that I've known him.  




CHERI BEASLEY  is running for US Senate in North Carolina and is strongly supported to flip the seat from repuglycon to Democrat.  Her opponent is a T-rump supporter - while  President Barack Obama  has endorsed her.  Beasley, the former chief justice of the state Supreme Court, is running against Republican U.S. Rep. Ted Budd, who has former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. 




KATHY HOCHUL Is running for Governor of the State of New York.  She became Governor in 2021 after the seat was vacated by Governor Cuomo - and many were initially leary of her ability to lead.  She was/is the first woman governor of the state of New York.  But over the last year, she has not only held her own, but made some progressive changes during her short tenure.  Now it's up to New York to send her back to complete the job, or to allow the state to fall into to the hands of a T-rump repuglycon - whose mission will be to tear the state apart in much the same way Pataki did when he got into office - and it was not a pretty picture.  It took the former Governors Patterson and Cuomo decades to begin to restore New York to its greatness.  Hochul has maintained a steady course - in the past year - and deserves the support of every New Yorker so that she can partner with President Biden, Mayor Adams, Senator Schumer, Congressman Jeffries - and all of the great incumbent elected officials who have been working in concert to maintain New York as the EMPIRE STATE - not the state of fascism.  
 

 

There has to be a clear margin with Hochul in the lead showing that New Yorkers Know what Time it is -  
 
IT'S UP TO YOU NEW YORK!!
 
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! 

PS: Don't watch the meanstream media - nor deal with their slanted analysis - remember they've been giving T-rump  and his Maga/maggots free publicity over the past eight (8) years
