Some leaders in the Democratic Party are playing with fire. They think that they can betray the will of millions of voters and choose Hillary Clinton as the nominee, regardless of whether or not she is the choice of the voters. We can't let this happen. It would be the largest disenfranchisement in modern history, and it would mean the Democratic Party giving their stamp of approval to a clear and consistent pattern of race-baiting by the Clinton campaign. If... (continue reading)
Our sisters and brothers were left behind to die, because no one answers to them.
It's time to stand together and make a change.
Most politicians ignore poor Black folks because they can't make big donations or deliver votes. And, to be real, a whole lot of us have tip-toed out of the hood and left them behind too, making our folks invisible even to the people who above all others should have their backs.
But they weren't invisible after Katrina hit. The media showed us faces we recognized... (continue reading)

The so-called "war on drugs" has created a national disaster: 1 in 9 young Black men in America are now behind bars.1 It's not because they commit more crime but largely because of unfair sentencing rules that treat 5 grams of crack cocaine, the kind found in poor Black communities, the same as 500 grams of powder cocaine2, the kind found in White and wealthier communities.
These sentencing laws are destroying communities across the country and have done almost nothing to... (continue reading)

FOR THE RECORD MY MAIN PURPOSE FOR BEING ON BP IS FOR THE
PUBLISHING AND MARKETING OF:
"A SOLDIER FOR
JUSTICE"
SYNOPSIS...
The Preamble to the Constitution grants certain basic rights to
anyone living in America. Among them is justice, domestic
tranquility, liberty to pursue our posterity. "A Soldier for
Justice" is the true story of courage, outrage and determination.
Louise Redditts story puts a human face on the political and
judiciary system and shows how these principles are being violated.
The abstract concepts of Racism and Injustice are made concrete
through the struggles of one person for equality. Louise's story
shows the double standard in the application of the Constitution in
this country and how this country violates citizens rights to life
and liberty without any consequences.
The story begins in a small town of Palmetto, Georgia next to
Coweta County where the movie "Murder in Coweta County" was based.
Louise is approached by residents of her community after they
discover that African-Americans are being charged a great deal more
for utilities than their white neighbors. Louise is shocked by the
discovery and hires an attorney to begin an investigation. She
later is informed by local realtors that they have witnessed white
robes hanging in closets when walking clients through Palmetto
homes for sale. She soon realizes she;s in a fight for her life and
liberty an Activist whose swears to see justice in the city of
Palmetto, Georgia.
This story is a true account of a Mother's brave struggle to save
her children and community from being over-run by racist politics
and policies. Her story dramatically illustrates the difference one
person can make. She names politicians, county workers, police
officers, and judges of state and federal courts and holds them
accountable for their actions. You will discover what Louise has
known for a long time - that mayors, lawyers', judges and the
police are often motivated by ignorance and self-interest.
Louise's experience will act as a road map to aid you in your own
struggle. Of all the political or social books about the good one
person can do, few are more timely or resonant than "A Soldier for
Justice": A True Story.

I have experienced many things in life...right family and
friends? I am blessed to have found my passion and purpose.
However, no experience in life is more insightful than the writing
of my first book. Each day I write, I'm challenged to explain the
denouement of my experiences in a way my future readers can grasp
and comprehend. I tell my family and friends-daily...this is the
hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life. If it hasn't
taught me anything, it has attributed to my character-convincingly.
I strongly believe our stories of triumph and defeat is necessary
to build our African-American communities. My favorite passages by
previous African-American Authors which inspire me are as
follows
Not everything you create will be a masterpiece, but you get out
there and you TRY and sometimes it really happens. The other times
youre just stretching your soul. Dr. Maya Angelou
"It is one of the tragedies of life that one cannot have all the
wisdom one is ever to possess in the beginning. Perhaps, it is just
as well to be rash and foolish for a while. If writers were too
wise, perhaps no books would be written at all. It might be better
to ask yourself Why afterwards than before. Anyway, the force from
somewhere in space which commands you to write in the first place,
gives you no choice. You take up the pen when you are told, and
write what is commanded. There is no agony like bearing an untold
story inside you. From Dust Tracks on a Road
In literature, fiction is prized for many reasons. Pauline E.
Hopkins, a leading writer of the early twentieth century, explained
its role in her 1900 work, Contending Voices: "Fiction is of great
value to any people as a preserver of manners and customs
-religious, political, and social. It is a record of growth and
development from generation to generation. No one will do this for
us; we must ourselves. From Contending Voices (1900)
After it's all been said and done...I now feel priviledged to have
experienced life in such a way, that I have been coined as a
heroine and a pioneer. However, it is my deepest pleasure to write
this book in honor of our Ancestors who fought the battle way...
before me. It is such a driving force and I will not rest until my
book is placed on a shelf aside the greatest achievers in life. The
achievers who wouldn't stop or lay their sword-pen down; but, soley
focused on their belief. When Im finished and my story is told--the
civil violators and the judiciary injustice that is practiced in
this Country will need a face lift. I'm not trying to save the
world, but change it ONE person at a time.
Please stay attentive to this site for the publishing date of A
Soldier for Justice- my true-life story about my fight for equality
and justice. It's a story you wouldn't want to miss. In God speed
stay safe.. and tuned for further information.
I want to thank each of you for taking the time (not to sound
GRAND) to become a friend of mine. I seek no formal notice by this-
it is my honor to have your support as a friend. It allows me to
know everything that I have suffered for and through was worth it.
If there is anything I can do to repay this little grain of
kindness that takes shape of a mustard seed; feel free to let me
know. Although I have to admit upfront I have no time to assist
with any editing- as I have been asked--- I do have many gifts that
I can offer.
That's what this is about UNITY!!! Let's come together and stay

Commissioner Bill Edwards vote him out of
office he is not your friend- read the book...
I thought I should add something about myself so on a more personal
note my personal page aladynneed is also on bp. I was once a very
strong voice in South Fulton County, Georgia and worked the
Commissioner Bill Edwards campaign in 2000.
I was personally responsible for catching one of the candidates
cheating which placed Bill Edwards in the run-off and some called
me the most powerful black woman in South Fulton County, my
participation in the politics of South Fulton changed my life.
Please read before you get involved in Politics research and read
about the person you are giving the control to.
This book will offer a lot of information about me and the politics
of South Fulton County, Georgia-; as my relocating to the Northern
Virginia area and petitioning the House of Congress which led to
several attempts and two successful case filings at the U.S.
Supreme Court involving South Fulton County-Georgia (Commissioner
Bill Edwards, the State of Virginia (Governor Warner) and Fairfax
County, Virginia. I also had struggles in the states of Maryland
and New Jersey as a result of retaliation from participants and
defendants. Read about the Governor of Georgia Sunny Perdue and his
role you will be amazed to find that.... (read the book)
I recently discovered June 8th that the presiding Judge in my case
X-Chief Judge (Cacheris) of the Eastern District Court -
Alexandria, Virginia has been demoted and Chief Judge Wilkinson of
the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals also stepped down. I will research
the particulars and this information will be available once
published. "My People" we are in serious trouble if we don't
educate ourselves about our civil liberties, rights to life and our
responsibilities to our children and family We are being violated
and led astray daily in this country.
