Barak's comments on Jena

Bet you thought Barak and other politicians weren't paying attention to Jena huh? Well, my man Barak was AND he aint ashame to make it known!!!!

The man does NOT miss a beat!
Check out Barak's comments

Bell's case overturned!


Bell's last conviction, aggravated battery, has been dismissed by the appealet court. There will be NO sentencing Thursday, September 20 2007. HOWEVER, the ralley will still continue for the priciple and the justice of our other 5 brothers in this terrible injustice.

SEPTEMBER 20 BLACK OUT IS STILL ON!!!

We must be in prayer, fasting, and meditation for our brothers and their families. Pray for the judges, lawyers, officers, and even the victims. God will prevail. This is our fight, but God's battle.

We must do what we can and the Lord will do the rest.

Time is closing in on us and we need to take heed. :-)

~peace and blessings~

... is a huge margin to win by, but that's exactly what mayor-Elect Karl Dean did to take the win as Cashville's new Head HMIC (head mayor in charge :-)

What do u guys think? Do u have faith that he will do what he said he would do? Quality education? Have Nashville's best interest at heart? hmmm

I wish I could have been at the Adventure Science Museum election night to join in the festivities. I absolutely love the fact that his first comment was about education, families, and cheerleading the cause of Nashville to have the best educational system possible.

But then again, dont they all say that? hmmm

And would u looky looky here, Nashville has a woman vice-mayor! hmmmmm. Will she be too sensitive? Will her and dean working together help move our education system along at a faster pace? Or will she be tough as nails and do what she has to do to play in a "man's world"?? ?

what about public safety?

Nows time to walk the walk. We the people voted for you. Are children are depending on you. Now What?

Jena 6 update

www.blackamericaweb.com

Charges were reduced Tuesday, September 5, 2007 for three of the Jena Six.

The charges against Jones and Shaw were reduced to aggravated 2nd-degree battery and conspiracy to commit the same. On Tuesday, Bell’s conspiracy conviction was vacated (canceled by court order), in a hearing that began at 1 p.m. and ended late in the afternoon.

Bell’s lawyer Louis Scott, had sought to get the conviction tossed out, but that motion failed. The motion for a new trial also failed, said Marcus Jones, Bell’s father. (*dis some bs*)

“We wished we could have gotten everything we wanted, but we were glad to get one out of three,” Jones told BlackAmericaWeb.com. By having the conspiracy charge dropped, Jones said the potential sentence for his son would be less.
