EMERGENCY POST!! ELECT DEMOCRATIC WOMEN WARNS OF POST OFFICE CLOSURES BEFORE INAUGURATION - WE MUST STOP THIS

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All

HABARI GANI -  KUUMBA DAY 6 OF KWANZAA  - KUUMBA = CREATIVITY 7 months ago, after T-rump threatened to dismantle the USPS, I created a petition entitled "Hands Off The USPS "- and enlisted the assistance of MoveOn to help promulgate it, along with FACEBook, and other organizations.   But it went absolutely nowhere. Ironically, today, December 31, I receive this "CLOSURE NOTICE FOR 19143 POST OFFICE" which happens to be my zip code. Interesting , isn't it?  We all know that T-rump and his henchmen have been tampering with the USPS dismantling the sorters, furloughing postal workers, dragging out delivery schedules. BELOW is a petition to save our postal service plus a request for donation.  Issues which could have been averted had the entities involved kept their promise to support our efforts to save the entire postal system.  It is clear now that they did little or nothing to support the petition; but the real responsibility rests with us to protect the goods, services and institutions in our communities need,  So please sign the petition - and also make sure you reach out to your elected officials and demand that they protect our postal services from closing down.  Now that we've rid ourselves of T-rump we should not have to be forced into suffering from his demented policies and assault on our country. NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? At Elect Democratic Women we know that Congress cannot and will not address the urgent needs of women and their families without equal representation. We support Democratic women running for office nationwide. But if you'd like to receive fewer emails, Click Here. Or if you'd like to unsubscribe, Click Here. CLOSURE NOTICE FOR 19143 POST OFFICE GLORIA -- Donald Trump is on track to defund the Post Office before Inauguration Day! If we don’t take action immediately, every single Post Office across the country will close before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris step foot in the White House. INCLUDING 19143's Post Office!! We’re joining forces with Democrats across the country to SAVE the Post Office, and we need to raise $15,000 by MIDNIGHT! GLORIA, please, if you care about saving the Post Office, then chip in $5 NOW >> RUSH A $5 DONATION TO SAVE THE POST OFFICE >> $15 $35 $50 $100 $250 Other The Post Office is such a sacred institution, so it’s hard to wrap our heads around it being completely destroyed! But that’s EXACTLY what will happen to it if Trump gets his way. It’s all a part of Trump’s evil scheme:   1. DEFUND the Post Office before Inauguration Day.   2. Get REVENGE on the Post Office for delivering mail-in ballots.   3. Wreak HAVOC on everything we hold dear. NO!!! Look -- Trump is a wrecking ball set to DESTROY everything in his path. Don’t let him get away with it! Chip in $5 NOW to save the Post Office >> CHIP IN $5 NOW >> CHIP IN $35 NOW >> CHIP IN $50 NOW >> CHIP IN $100 NOW >> CHIP IN $250 NOW >> Or donate another amount >> GLORIA, we don’t want to worry you. But it will be IMPOSSIBLE to elect Demcoratic women in the next election if Trump closes the Post Office. Vote-by-mail will be ABOLISHED. Voter turnout to elect Democratic women will nosedive! So we REFUSE to let Trump sell the Post Office for parts to his corporate cronies before he leaves office. Listen -- we need to act FAST. If we don’t receive a WAVE of donations by MIDNIGHT, Trump will have every single Post Office shut down before Inauguration Day. Chip in $5 NOW >> CHIP IN $5 NOW >> CHIP IN $35 NOW >> CHIP IN $50 NOW >> CHIP IN $100 NOW >> CHIP IN $250 NOW >> Or donate another amount >> There’s no time to waste!!!

Why I have a "Donate" Button on my Blog

Hello All:

As many of you know, I've been a feature writer, interviewer, commentator and photojournalist for quite some time.  Over the years I've written for and about the great and near great, sung and unsung Black men in our community - some were leaders, others regular brothers and sisters who were trying to make a difference.

I've done interviews, personality profiles, breaking stories, celebratory articles, obituaries, and have basically done it for the love of it, for the most part - because I do love my brothers and sisters, and I know that the mean stream white media will either distort, misinterpret, or completely overlook who we are and what we do. 

Every year I go cover the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington DC from a "lay person's perspective, because the decisions and efforts on the part of our Black elected officials are important to us all.  

Most of this has been unpaid.  Not that I didn't want to be paid, but  the Black publications I write for don't have the budget to afford such services; so I've basically footed the bill on my own.  Rather than than not have the information made available so you can be kept abreast of  what matters to us as a people.

I've always considered my writing a gift and a blessing; and am proud to be able to tell our story.  And still do, but this year - 2013 - has been the toughest year of my life - emotionally, losing my husband, Lou Wilson on January 7, 2013; and the rest was kind of like a domino effect from that point on,  spiritually, physically, mentally and financially - I am at the point where I have more month than money - or zero dollars and zero cents.

This means I can't pay for my internet, my cell phone bill, replace the camera that died on me - yes the one I use to take those great photos of you when you're getting that award, or making that speech.  Transportation to and from events have become a challenge, as well.

I don't like to borrow money from friends or anybody for that matter without a clear pathway of how and when I'm going to be able to pay it back.  That's the sure way to lose friends. It goes without saying that there has to be a tipping point, and I've come pretty close to it.

Of course, if I win the Mega Millions, obtain an a sugar daddy, a sponsor, or a rich relative suddenly leaves me a major inheritance, or a position that pays me a decent enough salary, I can live a normal life like the rest of my peers.  And don't think I'm not working on all the above - because I am.  However, at this point, none of them have materialized.

I hate the word "struggle"  the concept is one that I've avoided because it's a perpetuation of a negative situation.  I've been in prayer and mediation, visualization, and all the other metaphysical approaches; checked my belief systems, my forgiveness patterns, so I think I'm good there.  But the money just hasn't manifested.

When I put the "Donate" button on my blog (and you would have been so proud of computer illiterate me - it took me hours to figure out how to do that), I thought, my readers will see this and want to make a donation because they really value my writing.  It's actually tied into  PayPal, and is tax deductible.  And I do get some really great feedback from you.  However, even though I put a little caption at the bottom: "Thanks for your contribution and support - GDW" so far, nobody has done so. WoW!

And since I'm constantly assailed with solicitations from all over the world, who state their case so eloquently, before asking for a donation, I began to realize that maybe I haven't stated my case eloquently enough, and that's probably why you overlook the donation button; or you say maybe next time; or you thing, I don't have enough to donate now, I'll do it later.  Believe me, I do understand - I've had the same thoughts myself when it comes to Move On, eCares, the DNC, and others whom I have supported in the past. 

The donation can be as little as $3.00 to $5.00.  And that will make a world of difference to me.  Of course, if you want to send more, that would be wonderful, as well.  In either case, I totally appreciate your generosity in keeping the wolf away from my door.  And believe me, he's been howling quite loudly lately.  If you contribute $5.00, I can actually make it through to 2014 solvent, instead of a net negative in my account, and put some food on my table. 

At the end of each of my articles I always close with "Stay Blessed"  because we are each put here to be a blessing to each other; so we are already blessed - it is our job to stay blessed.

Thank you for your generosity and support.
Have a wonderful holiday.

Stay Blessed &
ECLECTICALLY BLACK
