Don't Let the KKK Adopt a Highway!

Started by: Nioshii Wilde, Atlanta, GA

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is an organization intent on promoting white supremacy through terrorism and political violence. Throughout their 150+ years of activity, they've organized and carried out lynchings, bombings, cross burnings and actively campaigned against the Civil Rights Movement and desegregation. Anyone who does not fit their narrow definition of being a "true American"- white and Christian- is a target of their violence, including African Americans, Catholics, Jews, immigrants, communists, etc. Their death toll numbers are in the thousands and the damages they have inflicted on our country are immeasurable.

And now, the Ku Klux Klan wants to "adopt" a highway in Georgia.

The "adopt a highway" program allows local civic-minded organizations to help clean up stretches of highways in return for free advertising along the road. Meaning the KKK would be able to advertise their organization and increase their membership on public land, for free.

Harley Hanson, the leader of the Klan's Realm of Georgia who filed the application for the Klan, says: "I love my race. Does that make me wrong? I'm proud to be white."

As a Georgia resident, I do not want a highway funded by taxpayer dollars to become an advertising site for an organization that has murdered, maimed and terrorized American people for 150 years.  The KKK is not a civic-minded organization; they are a domestic terror group. 

"What's next, are we going to let Neo-Nazis or the Taliban or al-Qaida adopt highways?" asks State Rep. Tyrone Brooks.

And I agree. So now I'm calling on the Georgia Department of Transportation to reject the KKK's application to adopt a highway. Terrorists have no place on the sides of our highways.

Petition to Boycott VH1's Basketball Wives and Reality Star, Evelyn Lozada

Disappointed viewers are using their voice to speak up against the BULLYING and VIOLENCE (shown on VH1's "Basketball Wives") and they are being heard loud and clear!

FINALLY!! After 4 seasons of drama & nonsense, viewers are FED UP with the foolery that takes place on VH1's "Basketball Wives." And now there is a petition to boycott the show AND it's bad-tempered cast member "Evelyn Lozada". But it doesnt stop there- they want to boycott Evelyn Lozada all together and is also boycotting her new spinoff show with her fiance, Chad Ochocinco. 

Star Jones from "The View" (who is a respected TV personality) is disgusted with the show and is gathering up support of powerful women to get the show stopped! Also, famous TV talk show host, Wendy Williams stands behind the petition and has already signed it, calling The Basketball Wives...TRASHY!

Viewers were already upset at the BBW's behavior, describing the cast members as childish and an embarrassment to WOMEN. But this season, when Evelyn and her assistant tried to jump co-star Jennifer and Evelyn jumping wildly on top of a table, just to try to get a "lick in" is when viewers got FED UP and said, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" And in just 2 hours, the viewer ratings dropped significantly from 1.7 Million to 800,000 views. 

Here is an excerpt from the petition (that is now circulating the internet):

“Evelyn Lozada is a bully. The violence on ‘Basketball Wives’ is horrible and disgraceful.  This is not a hate petition against Eveyln Lozada. We simply will not support violence. It hurts to see violence amongst women on television for entertainment purposes. It is not OK for women to hit each other on TV.

 

Just about every altercation and argument on the show has involved Evelyn in some way, shape or form. From the yelling match on the season 4 premier against her former bestie, Jen, to the table climbing and hair pulling in the last couple of episodes, the woman has a problem for reals."

Star Jones took it to twitter and expressed/ tweeted her feelings about the show:

“It may be ‘comfortable’ to be quiet when women of color slap the crap out of each other & run across tables barefoot, but #ENOUGHisENOUGH."

“About to put together a group of sisters to finally ‘tell the truth’ about the image of women of color in the media.”

Star Jones then tweets, defending Jennifer's decision to call the cops (which I also felt that she should do)... 

"And the thought that the woman from #BBW who was smacked doesn't have the RIGHT to file assault charges is LUDICROUS! You NEVER give up your right not to have your ‘person’ intentionally assaulted unless you are participating in an agreed physical activity.

…little black girls deserve more than what we're giving! It sickens me when young sis think that behavior is acceptable. U can't get a REAL JOB acting like an animal."

With over 29k+ signatures on the petition, big companies such as Burger King and Summer's Eve, pulled their ads from the TV Show. I'm sure they didnt want consumers to think they support bullying and violence the show was promoting.


I admit, I signed the petition too! Whether or not the reality stars were acting "EXTRA" to boost ratings, their actions are sending one message to viewers- that it's okay to lay your hands on someone who makes you mad and it's ok to pick on people. How can we tell kids that bullying is wrong if GROWN UPs are bullying too? 


If the petition goes ignored, it will have most thinking that celebrities have special rights to bully others. If our voices are heard, it will send a message that BULLYING and VIOLENCE will not be tolerated and those who are guilty, will suffer the consequences of their actions- even celebrities.

[Read the PETITION and sign it if you agree with it]

Tez "The HipHop Politician" Figaro Provides Jobs to over 100 people in Orlando for All-Star Weekend

During the new Presidential debates the main focus is employment! How many Americans are out of work and how many jobs will be available, like...NOW? For years Tez "Hip Hop's Politician" Figaro, current candidate for Florida House of Representative's, District 39, has been employing hundreds of people in her community through her human resource staffing firm "The Allied Group".

Continuing with her commitment to the community, on 2-24- 2012 Tez "The HipHop Politician" Figaro is scheduled to sit on a panel entitled "Occupy Our Community". She will join other community stakeholders to discuss how to formulate principles of behavior, choice , accountability and investment. At the very same time, her employees will be getting ready to greet thousands of people at the New Amway Arena as out of state guest prepare to attend All Star weekend Festivities. She believes that although there are many things to do during All Star weekend she understands that the following weekend after the game is over, the problems will still exists therefore is it critical that she participates on the panel to ensure the topic of jobs is at the table.

As one of the many new voices with a very different leadership style then the past leaders, she believes it is important to be at the "table" to discuss how to improve our community , however she also believes it is just as important to deliver the results by ensuring people have employment in order to provide meat on their "table" to eat. One of the many ways of doing this is by serving her second year as a City of Orlando subcontractor at the City of Orlando venues (one of which is the home to the Orlando Magic- the new Amway Arena) which is the home to the NBA All Star game 2012, Tezlyn is also a participant in the 2012 National Basketball Association Diversity Program, Tezlyn will serve in both capacity’s. Upon completion of All Star weekend Tezlyn will have placed over 100 temporary PAID associates to work during many All Star Weekend events.

This past Sunday Tez "The HipHop Politician" Figaro and a few of her High School Seniors took part in a discussion for a new Stay in School program called "26 Seconds", which is aligned with the State Farm Public Awareness Campaign Addressing the Nation’s Dropout Crisis. The NBA Development League (NBA D-League) and State Farm® announced on February 7th that the

26 Seconds campaign will present the 2012 NBA D-League All-Star Game. The campaign’s goal is to increase the high school graduation rate. The shot clock during this game will be extended to 26 seconds in order to drive awareness to the fact that a student drops out of high school every 26 seconds in America.

State Farm launched the 26 Seconds campaign to address the dropout issue by empowering teens to not only be aware of this startling statistic, but to make a personal commitment to graduate. The campaign’s message to teens is to "BSEEN, BHEARD, BYOU and BMOR (be more) than this statistic." The campaign is supported by the education community, particularly the America’s Promise Alliance, and NBA All-Star LeBron James. Tez "The HipHop Politician" Figaro is very much in favor of this project because The Allied Group doesn't just help adults find employment, additionally, she is passionate about helping youth find their path in life, and through The Allied Group she has hired more than 25 Workforce Academy students for the City Venues.

Another Part of Figaro's commitment to the community is seen in her business, which includes a volunteer corps. Under her leadership, more than 300 of The Allied Group volunteers have provided over 35,000 hours of community service. Recognized on ABC affiliate Channel 9, Central Florida's Spotlight as a job expert, Tezlyn Figaro has held corporate leadership roles within the world's leading organizations.

Lobbyist of Nevada Legislature BASHES over-weight teens!

THIS Lobbyist of Nevada Legislature, sent me an email regarding OUR PROGRAM TO HELP OVER-WEIGHT TEENS.

This is what Denny Weddle SAID:

"Are you serious? WHY would you support FAT girls! Get thin and support yourself AND help yourself with a longer life!!!! Get a life-- I'm not far because I work at NOT being a slob--get it!!!!"

Denny Weddle denny@dwacorp.com

Profile: http://www.leg.state.nv.us/AppCF/Lobbyist/reports/LobbyistDetail.cfm?lobbyist=503&Session=74

He owns an Advertising Agency in Las Vegas and a PR Firm. He claims he is on seven non-profit boards, Chairman of many.

I wonder how many of his clients are over-weight and how they feel about him calling them slobs (by referring to over-weight people as SLOBS). I also wonder what NON-PROFIT he is part of and how they will feel about a man like him sitting on their board. How can you sit on the board of non-profits if you are bashing teenagers or those part of the community. OVER 1/3 of America is over-weight and over-weight consumers are AMERICA'S #1 CONSUMERS!!!

His response was in regards to an email I sent, which can be read here . I dont know how or why he was in our mailing list but I was sure to immediately delete him due to his bashing.

"It's people like him that make us HAVE TO EMPOWER these young women even more!!" ~Manulani K

His email response was uncalled for and I am appalled that he would BASH a program that helps TEENAGERS. I am also FURIOUS that he would bash these girls and pretty much the plus-size community! This is the REASON why we came up with our program.

MEDIA and bloggers...TAKE THIS AND RUN WITH IT! I'll fwd u the email

This guy does origami with dollar bills and lives in a converted garbage truck. You might think "EWWWWW! A GARBAGE TRUCK?" haha But trust me...this truck looks better than most people's apartment, condos and homes. He converted it very nicely...like a work of art. Be Sure you scroll to the end of this blog to look at photos of inside his truck!

Won Park is the master of Origami. He is also called the "money folder", a practitioner of origami whose canvas is the United States One Dollar Bill. Bending, twisting, and folding, he creates life-like shapes in stunning detail.

If anyone knows this man, send him my way =) I need him to pimp my ride into a home lol
