Looks like Angela McGlowan run for Congress will do harm that help for the Congressional Black Caucus.
…..but her running will give a wake up call to the CBC who are mostly made up of Congressmen and women in mostly poor areas in the United States of America that Black Americans is not going to take crap from anybody. NOT EVEN OUR OWN.
With that being, here is what the Congressional Black Caucus is doing with our time spent of telling them what we need to try to better our community.
The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation — a charity dedicated to internships, public policy research and healthy living among African Americans — spends more on its special events than it does on scholarships, internships and its health and education programs, according to an analysis by The New York Times. Money is donated to finance the Annual Legislative Conference by corporations and labor unions that often also turn to the members of the black caucus for support on their issues in Congress. But the donations to the foundation are not subject to limits, like contributions to political campaigns are.
Are you serious? I don’t know if they are know that jobs are leaving their district, situations are getting far worse than expected and they are out here with our funding sipping Mai Tai’s and Apple Martini’s, golfing and playing tennis like they are the next Tiger Woods or Venus Williams, and eating lobster and shrimp while we are working 9 to 5 just to really make ends meet (or least try to get them to connect). I guess there are more Dollar Bill Jefferson than Edward Brookes.
The CBC needs to be held accountable for their mishandling of funding also by the citizens they represent.
…..But I hate to be an Uncle Ruckus about this so here it the what the other side of me is saying.
“Black America is not going to hold them accountable, because they are our kind. They are going to pitch us an excuse and we are going to believe it. Why? Because they can. This cycle of black politicians screwing us over will be going on for years to come. Why do you think that most of the CBC has been there for 20 plus years? Because they pitch us a line and we are going to believe because that is all we know. Sometimes, the majority of Black Americans can be single-minded on politics and that is why they stay in office until some major scandal breaks out.”
Like Danny Davis of Illinois and William Clay of Missouri. They are in urban cities that are losing jobs left and right and this is what he does.
Danny K. Davis, Democrat of Illinois. Mr. Davis, who had supported legislation in 2002 to impose tough restrictions on the industry, changed his position after the industry association met with him and offered to make donations in his name. Here is a video of a 2008 ceremony in which equipment was donated to a Chicago job training center named after Mr. Davis. The center has since been re-named.
…..and William Clay
The most important champion of the rent-to-own industry in the Congressional Black Caucus is Representative William L. Clay Jr., Democrat of Missouri. He sponsored the House version of the bill that is being pushed by the industry, which would protect it from the tougher measures proposed by consumer advocates. Mr. Clay, who also has had industry goods donated to causes in his district, is not shy about praising the industry and its leaders. Here are remarks he made at the 2008 industry convention, in his district in St. Louis, where Mr. Clay was treated like a hero.
…and here is the video
Note to self and everybody that is reading. If your congressman is part of the CBC, vote him out and put someone there fresh and new. I know I don’t want them spending my money on lobster while I am out here eating hog maws.
Share your story if you think you are being robbed by your CBC Congressman or Congresswoman.
