A Message To National Democratic Leadership Organizations
Voter turnout in Maryland was deplorable yesterday.
If the voter turnout in this state's primary elections are indicative of what we can expect in the 2014 Midterm Elections, then the Democratic Party and Democracy is toast.
To put it simply, the things that the "Genuisis" are doing at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and other Democratic Think Tanks is not working as far as attracting new voters that we desperately need is concerned.
Oh yea! Those Archaic Campaign Ads that political parties have been using since Radio and TV was invented works well for Politicos like me and the millions of other political junkies in the country; but they are doing very little to nothing to recruit and motivate a new generation of voters who could care less about those campaign ads.
And these are the people we need to replenish our voter rolls to secure and protect our Democracy now and in the future.
So to put it plainly, if the Democratic Powers to be don't start utilizing new and creative ways to reach, teach and motivate these new voters, we are going to have the same problem in 2014 that we had in 2010-A big loss; and even worse this November, the end of President Obama's Presidency.
When you keep sending people automated emails begging for money and then totally ignore them when they see something from a different perspective that may just contribute something positive to the cause then it really makes people like me-a devoted Democrat think twice about sending the little bit of money that I have to people who are not even interested in hearing what I have to say.
Just because all of us cannot be "Big Money Donors" does not mean that we don't have "Big Ideas" that could help push the Democratic Party over the top in November and in 2016.
And I for one, do not appreciate the fact that my ideas,letters,proposals opinions and suggestions are being totally ignored by the Democratic Leadership, (especially the DCCC).
When you have to constantly send emails out that say things like:
1. I Need You
2. Kiss All Hope Goodbye
3. Devastating News
4. Did you see the AWFUL News?
5. Unprecedented Blow
And other such messages of desperation.....shouldn't that be an indication to the Democratic Leadership of the party that they need to change direction by enhancing and tuning up their messaging?
I mean what does it take before we see that there needs to be a change in the way that we conduct our business?
I'm not saying this to curse the elections coming up in November and in 2016, because I am a lifelong Democrat who truly believes in Democratic Values.
I'm saying this because I think the Democratic Party has Superior Products and Services to offer to this country, but they are continuing to use outdated marketing systems that are ineffective at driving their message home to these new young apathetic voters that we desperately need.
It's not that we should do away with Traditional Campaign Ads.
I am just saying that we need to add some New, Fresh, Creative Methodologies to our Marketing Strategies if we expect to beat the Koch Brothers and the other Right wing Hate Mongers who happen to be Very Rich.
To all of the Democratic Leadership Organizations who read this: I want President Obama's Presidency to be extremely effective and successful; and I want it to be written into the history books that way in spite of the Very Toxic Political Environment, that we as Americans have had to put up with since President Obama was elected in 2008 and then reelected in 2012 by the will of the American People.
What do you want the history books to say about President Obama?
I hope it's not the same thing that the Republican/Tea Party wants written, which is either bad or non existent.
Don't let Republicans write President Obama out of the history books.
We have got to fight like they fight if we expect to win.
And you can begin by listening to some of the people like me who are dedicated and devoted to continued victories for Democracy in our country rather we are Big Donors or now.

They Don't Give A Damn About Us!
All I'm really saying is that-they don't give a damn about us!
So perhaps we need to take better care of each other?

An Urgent Warning For Democrats II
Addendum to original message.
I originally sent this letter and proposal to the Democratic Congressional Committee in 2014
I begged them to stop protecting Political Racists by using Euphemisms to disguise Hatred and Racism by the Conservative Right wing Hate Machine by Republicans and other Politically Motivated White Supremacy Groups in America.
Not only did I not get an acceptance or denial of my suggestions,(while still receiving Multiple Robotic Request for Donations), but I did not even get an acknowledgment from a Human Being stating that they had received my proposal.
It is now February 1, 2016,(the day of the Iowa Caucus), and as a result of our Democratic Leader's Lack of Creativity in reaching a New Generation of Voters and Retention of Current Voters, and because they were so dismissive of the reality of Hatred, Racism, Greed, Treachery and Deceit in our American Political System for so long; we now have Multiple Racist running for the President of the United States of America, (the most powerful position in the world), led by 2 Overt Racists, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
Why?
Because leaders in the Media and the Democratic Party displayed an almost Cowardly Avoidance of calling Racism what it was: RACISM
As a result of this Lackadaisical Approach by our Supposedly Trusted Institutions, Racism, Hatred, Vitriol and Violence are now acceptable to millions of people who previously did not feel represented or emboldened to act on those Primitive Emotions , until we allowed people like the entire U.S. House & Senate, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz to give a voice and a Sense of Entitlement to these people who knew that their power had been fading since the early 60's in this country, and that Equality for All as a concept and a reality was getting stronger.
However, because we made pretend that Racism did not exist anymore in America,(because a Black President had been elected),while totally ignoring the fact that he was being disrespected more than any other president in American History, Racism has now become "Normalized" again.
Back to the original message.
How can our Democratic Party Leaders expect Democrats who vote to exercise a sense of urgency about the future of our country and our party, when the people who lead the party do not practice or exhibit that same sense of urgency that they expect voters to have in the Midterm Elections and in all things political?
I mailed a Proposal containing a strategy to fight and win against the Koch Brothers and other mass spenders who use these funds to spread lies and misinformation about some of the most important issues concerning the safety and security of our nation to the Democratic National Campaign Committee; the receipt pictured below shows that it was received and signed for on April 14, 2014.
So my question to the DCCC is: How do you expect Democrats who vote to have a sense of urgency and importance about the Midterm Elections or Political Activism in general, when the leaders of the party do not exhibit that same sense of urgency and importance?
It is May 5, 2014, and we cannot wait until a month or week before we start to launch a counter offensive against these false attacks financed by millionaires and billionaires.
In addition, it is going to take significant time to get the masses educated, motivated and ready to get up off it to fight to protect the Senate and take back the House; especially the Xbox and Playstation Generation.
In the interest of full disclosure, one of the components of this proposal was a request for employment on my own behalf, because I am classified as one of the "Long-Term Unemployed"-not because I am a "Taker" and not a "Maker", but because if someone who has been unemployed for 3 months can't get a job; then imagine how hard it is for someone who has been unemployed since 2010 and before that, since November of 2002,due to the diagnoses of a severe illness .
The complete details are included in the document that I am requesting that you download.
My intent was to get paid for doing something that I do for free now anyway, because it is important to me. I love to do it and I believe in fighting for the cause of Protecting our Democracy, using what I consider to be my "GOD Given Talents, Skills and Abilities".
And since The Democrats are always talking about creating jobs, I figured I would give it a shot.
But I have not received an acceptance or denial of my mutually beneficial proposal to date.
And I know this because today, like everyday since I sent the letter, I have already checked the mailbox for an up or down vote on my proposal, and there was nothing from the DCCC in response to it.
So in a further attempt to avoid repeating the Political Tragedy that we suffered in 2010 again in 2014, (which has continued to negatively affect our country, our party, the progressive movement and our Democratic Processes), I am now reaching out to you, the members of the media in the hopes that you will broadcast this urgent warning to the Democratic Leadership, Democrats, Progressives, Liberals and Independents everywhere so that we won't have to experience deep regrets, sorrows and dyer consequences on the morning of Wednesday, November 5, 2014, like we did on the morning of Wednesday, November 3, 2010.
It will be too late then!
It's now or never to prevent President Obama's last 3 years from becoming a total waste of time, energy and effort.
He has done all that he can do within his power to help us.
Now it is our time to help him.
And I would appreciate it very much if the leaders of the Democratic Party would behave in a manner that is conducive to this goal.

These Excellent First Round NBA Playoffs Interrupted By……….
There I was taking a break from the Dark Realities of Racism and how much it has infiltrated our Political System with Potentially Disastrous Results, enjoying one of the most fantastic first round playoffs that I have ever seen, and then; (not that I was looking for it); it jumped out at me while I was just trying to unwind and let go by enjoying the camaraderie that exists between the Brotherhood known as the NBA, where (for the most part), race is not an issue-A place where people from all points of the globe come together as a team to accomplish one common goal…..to win a highly competitive athletic event.
And then it happened!
The Racism that I was trying to escape from in our politics reared its ugly head into the NBA; a place that I love, because people of all kinds travel together, eat together, sleep together, pray together and play together without any regard for their ethnic or racial backgrounds.
But the owner of the L.A. Clippers Donald Sterling allegedly was recorded sharing his true feelings about the Black Men who have made him billions with the hard work that they do on and off the court.
There is not enough time and space to recount all of the Racists Escapades that he has been a part of, but if you want to know you can click the link below for full details.
You can read all about his history right here.
Now since I was in such a good mood because it’s playoff time, I was willing to give Donald the benefit of the doubt and wait to find out if TMZ or someone else with a grudge was trying to frame this man as some kind of act of vengeance.
However, after learning of his past history, lawsuits, derogatory statements about Black People as well as other minorities in his daily orbit; I pretty much have determined that the tape is real and that this is indeed Mr. Sterling’s voice on the tape telling his African American/Mexican Girlfriend how he really feels about all of those well-built and professionally trained athletes who make him billions.
And I was really upset when I found out that Former Commissioner David Stern was aware and allowed and ignored his Racist’s attitudes, behaviors and actions, which makes me wonder what he truly believe in his core.
So let this be a lesson to those of you who continue to turn a blind eye to what has been painfully apparent in this country, that has been intensified since the election of the First African American President in 2008 and then again in 2012.
This generation cannot and will not be allowed to make pretend that Racism in America no longer exist as an excuse not to defend this country against it.
Those who came before us had no such luxury.
We cannot let all of their pain, suffering, sacrifice and deaths on our behalf, be in vain.
Racism is alive and well and flourishing in America and will rip our country to shreds if we continue to act like it is not a reality.
One final point: I am mad as hell about this Racists Bastard’s Behavior towards his employees who are Human Beings, and also his abuse and dehumanization of other minorities, but I ask that all NBA Fans, (particularly Clippers Fans), remember to focus their anger on the perpetrator, (Donald Sterling), as opposed to the victims, (The Clipper’s Players).
Don’t do anything to hurt the players, coaches and other employees who have done nothing wrong.
To the players, this is your best season in franchise history.
Please put your head back in the game tonight and fight for your chance at the championship.
I understand the negative effect that this Racism is having on your psyche, but you’ve done nothing wrong.
Play your best game and let the hatred of Donald Sterling destroy Donald Sterling.
After all, the job of hate is to destroy, and those who harbor it within will be destroyed from within, which will manifest itself in the destruction of their lives externally.
As a matter of fact, it has already began.
Everything that Commissioner, Adam Silver has done and plans to do to Donald Sterling is was well deserved.

Awake Yet!
I’m just wondering if anyone is really paying attention to what is going on in this country and if they are ready to protect and defend this country and it’s positive values and all of the things that is inherent in those values including ourselves, our families, our communities and all of the progress that so many of our ancestors, (rather they be Black or White) fought and died for to provide us with the freedoms that we now enjoy.
I wonder if anyone is paying attention to the fact that RACISTS have infiltrated our Government and are now trying to turn back the hands of time on Voter’s Rights, Woman’s Rights, Poor People’s Rights, Sick People’s Rights, the Elderly’s Rights and Human Rights in general.
No I am not speaking of a bloody revolution until and unless that becomes necessary, but the fact of the matter is: people did die in bloody revolutions to replace the violent means of change with a peaceful and Democratic method called voting, and I am just wondering if anyone who is reading this realizes that the Midterm Elections that are coming up in November are just as important as the Presidential Elections coming up in 2016.
Why?
Pay attention to the ruling that the Supreme Court has been making.
I don’t have time to map them out here, but anyone who has the best interest of this country at heart, which believe it or not has and continues to have great power and influence over the way we and our families and friends live their lives and the quality of those lives.
So the following video should not be a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention for the last 6 years after the successful election and re-election of President Obama.
When I first heard of this Patriot, (RACISTS), and his battle against the Federal Government, I already knew that this is where he is truly coming from.
These dangerous and ugly changes are coming and they can only be stopped by those of us who give enough of a damn to participate in the process that will take the ever increasing power that these people continue to increase to dangerous levels.
There are people in this country who don’t count many of us as human beings worthy of life and will try to do whatever we allow them to do to destroy us and our families.
This video is just one of many who need to be stopped.
Please participate in our political process to save our country from total chaos and destruction.
Please do your research and vote for the right individuals who control the quality of our lives rather you know it or not.

Welfare For The Rich!
Those of us who are Socially and Politically Aware know that this phenomenon of "Welfare For The Rich" exists.
But this is the most blatant example that I have ever seen.
It is usually done in the dark through legislation and so called deficit control.
But when I watched how this story was presented on FOX News,they left out 2 very important and factual points:
1. They failed to mention that these 2 people involved in defrauding the Government through Welfare Fraud were not Black.
Both of them are white.
You know how the Right wing Hate Machine is always talking about how poor Black People and Latino People and other Minorities live high on the hog, with Big Screen TV's, Driving Fancy Cars, Eating Lobster, Shrimp and other Fine Delicacies, all on Food Stamps, Medicaid and WIC?
2. Well! The fact is that Rich People do this all the time as a result of Republicans who are still pushing the lie that if you give the nice rich people up at the top more than they already have, their hearts will ache with so much pain, suffering and Guilt that they just cannot help but share a significant portion of their wealth with those on the bottom who are so much less fortunate then they could ever imagine.
This "Trickle Down Economics" has been legislated and implemented since this man was President over 25 years ago:
Ronald Reagan # 40
And it has not worked to boost our economy or help lift those who are willing to put forth the necessary efforts and to make the necessary sacrifices to lift themselves out of poverty.
Conservative Polices, Procedures and Values have and continue to do the opposite of this.
And the more forcefully we allow them to put these polices, procedures and values into place, the worse it makes our country.
If I can try to make what I am trying to say very clear; it's the fact that Paul Ryan's new budget which is just a more Austerity Based Budget than his previous Austerity Based Budgets, and that the condition that allowed these 2 rich people to collect welfare are the same conditions that Paul Ryan and other Conservatives and the Republican Party want to continue, not on an isolated incident basis like this, but they want the Rich to continue to get Richer and the Poor to get Poorer, which is a condition that has already existed in this country and that continues to exists.
Except! Republicans want to make these conditions a permanent part of our "American Democracy", which means that America will no longer be a Democracy, because you cannot have a Democracy if you only have 2 classes of people: Rich People and Slaves, with no Middle Class anywhere.
