Message To The Grassroots!

The problems that we face in this community can only be solved from the bottom up. This solution has been offered in talks, sermons and personified by grassroots activists and community voices who speak out against corruption and all forms of "isms." Obama stated from the beginning of his run to the White House that change happens from the bottom up. Those of us at the grassroots level are engaged in this continuous fight to uplift our people while at the same time dealing with blacks in power who have forgotten where they came or "Safe Negros" as their actions define them. It's not enough to just register to vote. Young people should run for office if not the "old corrupt guard" will continue to decide behind closed doors who will lead us. It's time to take action because almost all our local organizations refuse to change. When I say change I mean giving the youth a bigger voice and training of how to lead and to have forward thinking. One the things that need to change is the way Alabama A&M University conducts itself when it comes to the election cycle. Every 4 years A&M students have done a good job of helping the community by voting and these candidates fight for these votes not just at A&M but all local colleges. Local politicians continue to fool students into thinking they will bring them into the political process. By the term(4 years) a politician's repeat the lie only because the majority of them will have graduated and thus allowing these outdated politicians to repeat the lie.
