ATTENTION GEORGIA - MAKE THIS VIRAL - VOTE RAPHAEL WARNOCK US SENATOR AND STACEY ABRAMS GOVERNOR

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All:

Greetings all!  I just received this very disturbing news from The Daily Kos that alleged the following:   "Gloria, poll after poll after poll show Trump-endorsed  Walker with a slight lead over Democratic Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock."  I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach! I had a moment of panic after reading those words.  It's frightening to think that there is even a remote possibility of WannabeWalker becoming a Senator.  Such a tragedy and travesty must never happen.  There is no margin for error.   RAPHAEL WARNOCK FOR US SENATE - Y/OUR MIDTERM BLACK VOTES MATTER   Y/OUR BLACK MIDTERM VOTES 2022 MATTER IN GEORGIA AND ALL OVER AMERICA -  MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT - MIDTERMS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION !!! I don't need to tell you that we are either on the brink of disaster if Georgians don't come together to RE-ELECT RAPHAEL WARNOCK AS SENATOR,  defeat Walker and any other T-rump endorsed/financed/picked candidate.   By now it should be evident that anyone affiliated with T-rump generally has little to no intelligence, competence, or ethical character whatsoever.  During his administration, T-rump deliberately put incompetent people in positions of responsibility so they could not challenge him when he abused his power and responsibility.  WannabeWalker is the epitome of that kind of T-rumpian incompetence.  Georgia deserves better than that!! Georgia please don't get stuck on stupid - and knuckle under the underhanded oppression, trickery, lies and deceit  T-rump team of lying oppressors is trying to foist on you.  Aren't you tired of him and his garbage trying to manipulate you?  It's time to take out the trash - once and for all!  Since I take nothing for granted, I just want to make sure the brothers and sisters in Georgia are on point - and that this headline that I just received from The Daily Kos is a lie - or at least it should be!!  Black Georgians are INTELLIGENT - AND NOT FOOLED BY THE MEDIA HYPE, LIES AND MISINFORMATION - and there are also still some  intelligent caucasoids residing in Georgia who stand for the honor and wellbeing of their state - There is absolutely NO WAY Hershel Walker should have even been on the ballot.  There absolutely has to be some sort of competency test before and individual is allowed to run for office. Georgians know that   RAPHAEL WARNOCK is the best and    only choice for GEORGIA!  Right?     RIGHT GEORGIA??     We all know Herschel Walker  is a T-rump tool.   And anyone who votes for him is a fool.  But that's clearly not Georgia!  RIGHT???!! RAPHAEL WARNOCK HAS ALREADY PROVEN HIMSELF WORTHY - AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO AN EXCELLENT JOB OF REPRESENTING ALL THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.   GEORGIA ELECT STACEY ABRAMS GOVERNOR & RAPHAEL WARNOCK - SENATOR And while we're having this conversation, there is  absolutely no way you would blow the opportunity to elect STACEY ABRAMS as your governor.  Now that you know that the Georgia's elected officials have and will stoop to underhanded machinations to cheat you out of your choice - your right to vote  - you must be doubly vigilant and turn out in overwhelming numbers for VICTORY WITH ABRAMS 2022!! Georgia is the land of JOHN "GOOD TROUBLE" LEWIS, First Black Mayor MAYNARD JACKSON, First Black Ambassador ANDREW YOUNG - and so many other greats. GEORGIANS would not elect an obvious obtuse retard and hand picked tool by the predator in chief who is bent on destroying the nation and his henchmen over  RAPHAEL WARNOCK - a Black man of quality, intelligence, and integrity - who has spent his entire life making sure you have the equality, benefits and all the equity befitting Black People in the mighty Georgia. YOUR PRECIOUS BLACK VOTES MUST NOT BE SQUANDERED.  THIS IS NO JOKE - THIS IS NOT THE TIME - If you're not registered to vote - or if anyone in your family or circle is not registered to vote, this is the time to have a voter registration party - and after you vote - have an "I VOTED PARTY"  Each and every one of our precious votes count!!  And you, GEORGIA are our most important asset.  Please don't let us down! You held the line in 2020!! You made a critical difference in insuring we DEFEATED T-rump!! THANK YOU!  FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS - THANK YOU!! We were and are so proud of you.  And we know - despite all they are trying to do - you WILL DO IT AGAIN - BIG TIME.   STACEY ABRAMS FOR GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA - MAKE IT HAPPEN   We all know how powerful we are! Especially when we stick together!!   And they do too - in fact, they're scared to pieces of you/us - Black people - OUR VOTING IS POWER . GEORGIA!! Y/OUR BLACK MIDTERM VOTES MATTER - THEY COUNT - YOU/WE ARE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.  This is why they are trying so hard to pass laws, gerrymander us out of power, shut down polling places; make it illegal to help each other.  They are scared stiff. If our votes weren't so important, they wouldn't be working so hard to try to deprive us of our rights.  They know that once we get the majority in both the House and the Senate, that flips the script, changes the game, puts the shoe of the other foot, the worm turns, and we now have the power and privilege in our hands to take care of business. SO GEORGIA - AND THE REST OF THE US - WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER  Y/OUR VOTES CONSTITUTE THE CRITICAL MASS - LET'S NOT DISAPPOINT THEM - LET'S VOTE LIKE Y/OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT - BECAUSE THEY DO!! It is that Herschel Walker is a tool, a pawn, a sellout - bought and paid to undermine and betray his own people.  It wouldn't be so bad if he was an intelligent being; but he's just one step above a moron - which means he and T-rump are on the same low level.  Please don't give him any of your support, vote, attention, or support.  While the rest of the world is laughing at him, this is no laughing matter.  His candidacy is an insult to your/our intelligence.  SMH To those Brothers and Sisters in Georgia who aren't aware of this conspiracy to take us back to jim crow days WAKE THE EFF UP!!  They are working overtime with lies, bribes, and other tricks to prevent us from coming together.  STACEY ABRAMS, RAPHAEL WARNOCK, ALL BLACK CANDIDATES, AND ANY AND ALL DEMOCRATS DESERVE OUR VOTE. We deserve better. We will not sell our souls to the devil. GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER WE MUST STAND TOGETHER AS ONE PEOPLE OR GO DOWN DIVIDED AS FOOLS And I know that the SPIRITS OF JOHN LEWIS, MAYNARD JACKSON, and other great Brothers and Sisters who have laid down their lives for us are WATCHING OVER YOU. REMEMBER GEORGIA: OUR BLACK MIDTERM VOTES MATTER WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU GEORGIA! THERE IS NO EXCUSE THERE IS NO WAY I AM SHARING THE ARTICLE FROM THE DAILY KOS WITH YOU IN REFERENCE TO WARNOCK V WALKER.  We are cutting it dangerously close - and the stakes are much too high to take things for granted.  My brothers and sisters in Atlanta, but I'm also sharing it with all who may know some one in Georgia, or can see that this same madness is happening in your own state/community: It's easy to write Herschel Walker off. Even on the rare occasions when he is able to string together coherent sentences, he makes wildly asinine claims or simply lies.  However, between the tsunami of lies uncovered about Walker’s past to his completely incomprehensible theories about COVID-19, evolution, and abortion, he’s the GOP’s (Gruesome, Obtuse, Pathological) man in Georgia and a football legend, so he is going to stay close no matter what. And thanks to Mitch McConnell's dark money donors, he is a real threat.  INTERESTING:  I CALL IT THE "RONALD REAGAN SYNDROME":  Reagan - like T-rump - was "elected" president because he was once in the movies and had name recognition.  Similarly, BECAUSE WannabeWalker  HAD SOME FAME AND NAME RECOGNITION, The repuglycons are relying on that same sort of ignorant "Idol worship" to get him elected!! FAME CAN CAUSE  PEOPLE TO FALL INTO "HERO WORSHIP" ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT HE'S DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS!!  And that was certainly Reagan and most definitely is T-rump - and, by extrapolation is WannabeWalker. DON'T GET HUNG UP ON  HERO WORSHIP.  JUST BECAUSE HE WAS A "WINNER" IN THE FOOTBALL  ARENA, DOESN'T MEAN HE WILL BE COMPETENT AS A SENATOR.  WHAT IT DOES MEAN IS THAT HE WILL BE MANIPULATED BY THE REPUGLYCONS, AND YOUR INTERESTS, NEEDS, AND CONCERNS WILL BE SOLD DOWN THE RIVER!!  THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA DESERVE BETTER THAN WALKER! GEORGIA DESERVES A SENATOR WHO HAS YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART.  NOT SOME HANDPICKED BUFFOON WHO WILL  DESTROY ALL THAT GEORGIA HAS ACCOMPLISHED.  WannabeWalker  is a disaster. DON'T VOTE FOR WANNABE WALKER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!! Reagan & T-Rump were disastrous jokes as ersatz president -   WannabeWalker is the same syndrome.  Wake up people - please don't do something that's going to destroy you, your children and your state for lifetimes to come.  OUR EYES ARE ON YOU GEORGIA!! WAKE UP GEORGIA!! - WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU!! - WE BELIEVE IN YOU!! YOU DID IT BEFORE - YOU CAN AND MUST DO IT AGAIN!! ELECT RAPHAEL WARNOCK FOR U.S. SENATE! ELECT STACEY ABRAMS FOR GOVERNOR! OUR BLACK MIDTERM VOTES MATTER! THIS MIDTERM 2022 ELECTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MIDTERM EVER - WE MUST TAKE THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE BY WIDE MARGINS FOR OUR RIGHT TO VOTE FOR OUR RIGHTS AS WOMEN FOR OUR CHILDREN'S SAKE FOR OUR FUTURE YOU CAN DO IT!!! REMEMBER   VOTE BLUE - NO MATTER WHO!! NOW THAT YOU KNOW   WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT    IT? Gloria DULAN-Wilson                           NOTE - THESE ARE SOME DAILY KOS EXCERPTS: Despite the new restrictions on voting put in place by Georgia repuglycons Republicans, during the Georgia primary earlier this year, our partners on the ground helped turn out a record number of voters, with a 31% increase in Democratic voters and a 47% increase in Black Democratic voters since 2018. In 2020, Stacey Abrams credited the work of flipping Georgia blue—securing Biden's win and Democratic control of the Senate—to working with these groups to turn out voters. Every major legislative win we've made under President Biden was possible because Georgia put Sen. Warnock in office. To continue our march towards progress, we—and these groups—need your help to do it again. We have a little under two months to mobilize the winning coalition that delivered in 2020. Our partners on the ground have proven their ability to do the work. Help them keep Georgia—and the U.S. Senate—blue by chipping in $12, or whatever is meaningful to you, today.   VOTE BLUE - NO MATTER WHO!! NOTE:  I don't know if the orange Donate button works on this site.  If it doesn't, there are other ways to support the two candidates:  GDW DONATE REMEMBER   VOTE BLUE - NO MATTER WHO!!

EVENT ALERT: 150th Anniversary Commemoration of the Freedman's Bank March 3, 2015

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

Well - as I have said, Black History is a 365/24/7 Year Round event - and never is that more evident that the upcoming 150th Anniversary Commemoration of the establishment of the Freedman's Bank by President Abraham Lincoln.

Though it had a short life span, it was further evidence of his effort to make Black victims of slavery whole by providing them with bank accounts and teaching them about money.  Something we could still use today in modern contemporary times, as well.  I just received this from NYS Assemblywoman  Annette Robinson:  Monday, March 3, 2015 marks the 150^th commemoration of Freedman’s Bank.  

NY STATE ASSEMBLYWOMAN ANNETTE M. ROBINSON

Live streaming of this event is available thanks to Operation Hope.

The Freedman's Savings and Trust Company is a rare document that has a rich source of data pertaining to the ex-slave immediately following the Civil War. It had a short life span but it left a plethora of information concerning the depositors, the family, and descendants. U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry to Speak at Freedman’s Bank 150th Anniversary Commemoration at National Archives On Tuesday, March 3rd, Operation HOPE and the Afro-American Historical Society of the National Archives will host a commemoration of a forgotten, but invaluable, part of America’s history, the 150th anniversary of the creation of the Freedman’s Bank. Established by President Abraham Lincoln on March 3, 1865, the Bank was a landmark institution designed to teach former slaves about money.  U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry will be among the featured speakers. The Office of the Comptroller played a pivotal role in the history of the Freedman’s Bank, with the Comptroller serving as Commissioner of the Bank and reporting to Congress on its affairs. The Office lobbied Congress for nearly 40 years to secure restitution for depositors who lost their savings. Operation HOPE will continue to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Freedman's Bank over the coming year, with the mission of completing the work of President Lincoln. To watch the live stream click here.  Guests Include Top Slate of Leaders Guests scheduled to attend include: Ambassador Andrew Young Thomas J. Curry, Comptroller of the Currency Dr. Bernice A. King, CEO, King Center Marc Morial, CEO, National Urban League Lonnie Bunch, Director, Smithsonian Institute National Museum of African American History and Culture Joseph P. Otting, CEO, OneWest Bank Brad Smith, President and CEO, Intuit Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson Congressman Chaka Fattah The Freedman's Bank Story The Freedman’s Bank was established on March 3, 1865 as part of the Freedman’s Bureau. As the Civil War drew to a close, President Lincoln and the Congress recognized the need to aid newly freed slaves in their transition to freedom. President Lincoln was killed five weeks after signing this bill. At one point, Frederick Douglass was called forward to run the bank. However, the bank failed against the backdrop of political and public policy forces that undermined Reconstruction. During its existence the bank had over $57 million in deposits and 70,000 depositors. The Bank’s records remain the single largest repository of lineage-linked African-American genealogy, containing upwards of 480,000 names. March 3rd Commemoration Highlights Program highlights include: A major national initiative for the duration of 2015 will be announced by P5117 Co-Chairs Ambassador Andrew Young, Dr. Bernice A. King and John Hope Bryant to ensure the completion of the Bank’s intended mission. A Presentation on the Freedman’s Bank by representatives of the National Archives. A Moderated Conversation with Ambassador Young, Chairman Bryant, OCC Deputy Comptroller Barry Wides and other dignitaries reflecting on the historical significance of the Bank and how its unfinished work still resonates today in issues of poverty, income inequality and race relations. A Reception in the Archives Rotunda where guests will receive private tours to view our nation’s most important documents – Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, Emancipation Proclamation.

PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN

As I stated in my response to Assemblywoman Robinson, we need this now - there are so many of us who do not understand money and finance - the resurrection of the bank and the teaching of financial literacy is of paramount importance in the Black community and really needs to be started immediately, if not sooner. 

Try to check out this wonderful forum and glean the information that further expands our knowledge of the historic efforts of our people and the people who tried to help them. 

Stay Blessed &

MAYOR NUTTER TO LEAD TRADE MISSION TO UNITED KINGDOM AND ISRAEL: IS AFRICA IN THE MIX?

Hello All:

Just received the press release below from the Office of the Mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter, and wanted to comment on it, sooner than later.   I think it admirable that the mayor is seeking outside development opportunities for the City of Philadelphia.  It shows that he is not willing to sit idly by and allow things to devolve.  My only concern is this, however:  There should also be a trade mission on the Mayor's part to Africa and to those African countries that are developed and developing.  And it is easily cultivated via the many partnerships already in Philadelphia, as well as via the many missions a the UN.  There are a significant number of African Entrepreneurs who routinely operate between the US, UK, Japan and other areas that could be instrumental in making Philadelphia's port a truly international one, and broaden and strengthen the scope of relationships between one of the leading mayors in the 5th largest city in the United States.  

No aspersions on the individuals with whom Mayor Nutter is in contact with, but I would also respectfully submit the name of Molefi Asante as one with home he should be collaborating for he further expansion of Philadelphia's development.   

Mr. Asante just recently returned from a three month mission to Africa, and can certainly shed some light on what the opportunities and possibilities are.  Additionally, the Leon Sullivan Foundation, under the guidance of former Ambassador Andrew Young, and Ambassador Carlton Masters (which has the OIC Headquarters in Philadelphia), would likewise be excellent conduits through which the Mayor will find ample options for development and expansion of trade and industry.   

Having recently attended the 60th Anniversary of the Africa American Institute, which was attended like wise by several African industrialist and "trillionaires, including basket ball great, Dikembe Mutumbo, I feel certain that there is more than a little interest, and great opportunities for major collaborations between the Mayor and these individuals and their organizations.

I wish him every luck on the Trade Mission, but wish that there will also be included the viable resources from the Continent, as well.

Stay Blessed &

MAYOR NUTTER TO LEAD TRADE MISSION TO UNITED KINGDOM AND ISRAEL

Philly mission will meet with companies looking to invest here, assist city companies with trade opportunities

Philadelphia, October 7, 2013 — Mayor Michael A. Nutter announced that he will lead a trade mission to the United Kingdom and Israel next month in order to attract investment from international companies in Philadelphia and to assist Philadelphia companies with trade opportunities in these two key marketplaces.  Mayor Nutter will be joined by a number of Philadelphia-area companies on both legs of the mission and will take part in a range of activities to promote Philadelphia and attract international investment.

“My Administration is committed to attracting investment and job creation to Philadelphia, whether from elsewhere in the United States or from around the world, and this trade mission offers many exciting opportunities to meet with businesses looking to invest in our region,” said Mayor Michael A. Nutter.  “I want to thank the many partners that are supporting this effort and working each and every day to promote Philadelphia on the global stage.  It is through these relationships that we will attract new international investment, create trade opportunities for Philadelphia businesses, and create new jobs for Philadelphians.”

In the United Kingdom, Mayor Nutter and Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Alan Greenberger will meet with more than 100 UK companies interested in doing business in the Philadelphia region at a reception hosted by UK Minister for Trade and Investment Lord Green.  They will participate in roundtable discussions with industry leaders in energy efficient building and infrastructure investment and will visit Tech City to share best practices on how cities support the growth of startups and entrepreneurs. Mayor Nutter will also attend the World Travel Market, one of the largest tourism and travel expositions in the world. With the Mayor will be Jack Ferguson, CEO of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau (PHLCVB), and members of his team to meet with tour operators, trade and consumer media, and airline executives to promote Philadelphia.  Mayor Nutter will also have a number of one-to-one meetings with business executives on specific initiatives in Philadelphia and will meet with a range of high-level political leaders. 

“The UK will be thrilled to welcome Mayor Nutter in November, and his visit will highlight the City of Philadelphia's commitment to international trade,” said Danny Lopez, British Consul-General to New York. “The UK and Philadelphia's historical ties reach back to William Penn, and today we enjoy strong collaboration in many sectors, including clean technology, financial services, engineering, and life sciences. Mayor Nutter's visit will serve as a catalyst for the next phase of our business partnerships and shared investments.”

While in Israel, Mayor Nutter will be hosted by the City of Tel Aviv, a sister city of Philadelphia since 1996, and will participate in a range of activities to highlight the importance of this relationship.  He will meet with Israeli companies looking to invest in North America, including a range of Israeli venture capitalists looking for investments and American cities that are suitable for portfolio companies looking to expand into the United States.  Accompanied by a number of Philadelphia leaders, Mayor Nutter will attend the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly in Jerusalem and visit key historic and cultural sites of importance to the Jewish community.  Finally, Mayor Nutter will be joined by Drexel President John Fry and Dr. Steven Altschuler, CEO of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, as they announce an exciting new research partnership with Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

“At no other point in recent history have so many business people in Philadelphia and in Israel had the opportunity to come together as one in the interest of advancing our mutual economic interests,” said Yaron Sideman, Consul General of Israel to the Mid-Atlantic Region.  “This trade mission, led by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, contributes greatly to a momentum which we all must seize upon in order to explore business and investment opportunities and to create lasting partnerships.  Both Israel and Philadelphia are in the forefront of world technology in complementary sectors. I am extremely encouraged by the opportunities this visit offers to expand business ties, create new jobs and generate new ideas that will self-perpetuate the economic partnership between Israel and Philadelphia for many years to come.”

Joining Mayor Nutter on the trade mission will be a range of Philadelphia companies from sectors including technology, clean energy, green building, manufacturing, venture capital, and biotech that are pursuing specific trade objectives in either the United Kingdom or Israel.  They will be provided with a tailored program ,including meetings with business leaders and potential customers, in-country briefings, and connections with industry experts.  A full list of businesses will be published closer to the departure date but companies signed up to participate include Aberdeen Asset Management, the Mark Group, Artisan Mobile, and Derbyshire Machinery and Tool Co.

This trade mission was made possible by the support of a number of partners including the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, UK Trade and Investment, the Consulate-General of Israel, Select Greater Philadelphia, the International Visitors Council, the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia, Drexel University, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, the Philadelphia-Israel Chamber of Commerce, US Airways, British Airways, the United States Commercial Service, PHLCVB, Philadelphia International Airport, The Mark Group, Aberdeen Asset Management, London and Partners, the British American Business Council, the Honorary British Consul, and Greenberg Traurig.  All businesses and organizations will cover their own travel and accommodation costs.  Costs for City of Philadelphia officials will be covered by Select Greater Philadelphia.

The trade mission will arrive in London on November 2, 2013, departing for Tel Aviv on November 6, 2013, arriving back in Philadelphia November 12, 2013.  A full itinerary will be published closer to the departure date.

 
As stated earlier, Mayor Nutter is definitely on the right track pursuing outside options for the expansion of Philadelphia; however, it would also be a positive sign to include a trip to Africa in that mission, or set up a subsequent one with the resident and international experts he has already residing in his city, ready, willing and able to provide him with the information and resource to further expand opportunities and options.

Now that you know, what will you do?
Stay Blessed &
