Write Or Die (Spring 2006 Edition)

Warning: Contents Under Pressure!

Coming From the grassroots I feel threatened at all times. I shrug off all types of threats. I know some people have been enjoying their status without criticism. Well all that is over as we race to the finish line. As I approach the finish line I can tell you that I've seen it all. I got some family and friends in the pen that's never going to see the light of day. My people and their people would've got them the Cochran Firm if our paper was right. Don't worry KMT will hold it down for our dogs. KMT is serious and focused and way over due. I'm trying to be here to see my seeds when they have their seeds. As long as it's on paper then I still breathe. I just want to say that there's nothing in the world that they can't be. Many years I slipped up and didn't cast my vote. My grassroots work is an art and I'm better than smart. I uplift with a style that wasn't taught. In this world I fear no one. Albert Einstein whose teachers had written him off as a failure and said it best: "The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don't do anything about it." KMT vows to do something that's unstoppable. Even if it kills me I'm going to ride till I collide with these sellouts!

When I was a part of KMT we lead a grassroots movement in hopes of stirring the masses to realize we are in a state of political, social, cultural and educational down spiral. We represent the young lions who were not nurtured in the political system by our local leaders. When the young lions have to get their training on their own they will challenge the old lions for a chance to lead the pride. After seeing what happened in the last election and failure to fulfill promises of empowerment those at the grassroots level decided to fill the gap. The empowerment that we will do is give them a voice. What the poor are talking about on the streets is what we will report. With a changing city it's become evident that we as African-Americans must have a mental revolution of how we can uplift all areas of our awareness and take advantage of economic opportunities in this city. With all the complaints that we have against this city it's also true that we are doing things that are socially, culturally and educationally self-inflicted. We must come to terms with our own failures. Blaming others for our problems is just as silly as trying to stop the grassroots voice. KMT was the miracle grow to grassroots activism. With our voices we fired upon leaders even when we weren't fired upon. It's a political jungle out there but we some silver back gorillas! KMT testified with action and started the Write or De Newsletter which was a great success! Words of old make us more than beginners!

*Leadership is a gift from God, not an acquistion (Rom. 12:6 and I Cor. 12:28) Leaders must be prepared to be servants.

*Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through the experience of trail and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."-Helen Keller

*"I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."-Elie Weisel

*If you make people think they are thinking, they'll love you; but if you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you."-Don Marquis

"There is no party, no Chief Executive, no Cabinet, no legislature in this or any other nation, wise enough to govern without constant exposure to informed critics" That is true for any person who occupies a leadership position."-Hubert H. Humphrey.

Feel Our Pain

It was a record year for child support collections in the state of Alabama with collections totaling $281 million in 2006 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30. The total broke last year's record of $272 million. In light of this I recommend that all involved especially those that profit and make law and suffer from it read: The Muliple Scandals of Child Support by K.C.Wilson

*"This is the definitive book on child support. Thoroughly researched, very readable, and carefully thought through, it gently carries the reader through all the issues and startling contradictions, allowing the reader to decide. This is an absolute must-read for anyone having anything to do with child support. It really lays it all out, clearly."--Dr. Richard Weiss, Assistant Professor at Auburn College, Director of DADS of Alabama
