Solidarity

As I watch the Verizon’s union workers fight to keep what little they have, it reminds me of what we endured in our government.    Case in point, I heard from the union leaders that Verizon stop all conversation regarding negotiation..

Then I heard that 4500 people will be without insurance if they do not resolve their dispute by a certain time.    It seem to me whoever broker that deal, truly did not have the union workers best interest in mind.  If that is true, its like the people out here marching and fighting for what they believe while their leader or representatives are sailing them short.   I hope that is not case.

  Which is how I feel about our Government, our President is standing at the podium speaking about how he is fighting for us, pushing for this  and that, then in the end, he  gives in so much that we have to really eat peas to live depending upon certain situation .  We have to eat peas to please those that can’t be pleased.   How is that fighting for me?

How is that truly fighting for the Union workers, if whomever is in charge making back door deal to save their selves. Which I hope its not the case. 

How is that truly fighting for me or the American people, if in the end of all of your speeches while millions of people are hurting, you and Congress decide to use up your vacation days.  

What message do you think that really sends?

Solidarity is what we really need more than anything in order to get the big companies and big government to listen.  All the different unions should have each other backs, by marching with them or boycott the establishment or something.  

Like “We The People” are sticking together it seems, we want our President to stick with us because it’s the right thing to do. No other reason.  MoPoDC

Virginia Restoration of Rights "Yes We Can"

Packet of Information: Please Let Me Know The Outcome of Your Applying: Email me at MoPoDC@gmail.com and Someone will contact you to discuss 

• View a letter from the Governor about Restoration of Rights (pdf, 50kb)
• FAQ's

If you have lost the right to vote as a result of a felony conviction in a Virginia court, a U.S. District or a military court, you must have your rights restored in order to qualify for voter registration. The restoration of rights restores the rights to vote, to run for and hold public office, to serve on juries and to serve as a notary public. It does not include the right to possess or transport any firearm or to carry a concealed weapon.

In order to be eligible for restoration of rights by the Governor, an applicant must:

• Must be a resident of Virginia, and/or have been convicted of a felony in a Virginia court, a U.S. District court or a military court
• be free from any sentence served or supervised probation and parole for a minimum of two years for a non-violent offense or five years for a violent felony or drug distribution, drug manufacturing offense, any crimes against a minor, or an election law offense.
• have paid all court costs, fines, penalties and restitution and have no felony or misdemeanor charges pending. 
• not have had a DWI in the five years immediately preceding the application. 
• Not have any misdemeanor convictions and/or pending criminal charges 2  years preceding the application for non-violent felonies or five years for a violent felony or drug distribution, drug manufacturing offense,  any crimes against a minor, or an election law offense.

You can download the appropriate application below and, when completed, mail it to this office.  Or, if you prefer, we’ll send you a form if you provide a mailing address.  On your application, be sure to provide the specific offense(s) and the exact date(s) of sentencing.  If you do not have this information, you can get it by requesting a Criminal History Record through the Virginia State Police at (804) 674-6718 or online at their website, www.vsp.state.va.us.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth Office will conduct a criminal history  and DMV record check on all applicants. Petitioners will be sent notice of the Governor’s decision within 60 days  from the time an application is considered complete. Petitions are reviewed in the order in which they are received  AND complete.  If available, 2 Year Applicants are encouraged to include a certified copy of the felony sentencing order and proof of payment of court ordered costs, fines and/or restitution to significantly expedite the decision making process. 

If your petition for restoration of rights is denied, you have no right of appeal – but you may reapply after a one-year period.

The restoration of civil rights:

• Does not restore the right to possess a firearm,
• Will not expunge a criminal conviction, Virginia does not have an Expungements process for felony or misdemeanor convictions.
• Is not a pardon.

A person who has been convicted of a felony must first have his or her rights restored in order to be considered for a pardon.

To regain state firearms privileges, a convicted felon must apply to the circuit court of his or her jurisdiction of residence for a permit to possess or carry a firearm. Circuit courts may consider the restoration of firearms privileges only after civil rights are restored. (Va. Code §18.2-308.2)

Feel free to contact Micah Womack, Director of Rights Restoration or Candice Reid, Asst. Director, at (804)786-2441 if you have any questions and/or would like to request an application mailed to you.

Response @BraveLad About The Government Role On Twitter "Yes We Can"

Government refers to the legislators, administrators, and arbitrators in the administrative bureaucracy who control a state at a given time, and to the system of government by which they are organized.^[1][2] Government is the means by which state policy is enforced, as well as the mechanism for determining the policy of the state.

The word government is derived from the Latin verb gubernare, an infinitive meaning "to govern" or "to manage", and the Latin noun mente, meaning "mind".

With the situation our nation is and has been in was not caused by government managing, which is what the Government is supposed to be doing.  It was caused by selfish behavior of people who have personal agenda instead of the America agenda.  That is what needs to change. We the American people need to be more involved in deciding who represent us and put people in office that will uphold what government is designed to do.

I keep going back to this training I had with Organize For America in how they taught us to learn from our past, our mistakes, and success  to make the adjustments going forward.

 United States Of America has lost it credibility to those abroad do to these selfish acts.  Countries burning our flags and throwing shoes at the President and now our own governing bodies are being disrespectful to our Chief, our Leader, current President Of The United States at the helm.  What does that say to the rest of the World?  How can we demand respect, if we can’t give respect to our selves.  What's to say if there is a different President in office, that he or she will not endure the same or worst. 

This is more our fault, meaning the American people fault more than anyone else and it’s time that we the people put a stop to this by being so involved that we start a new petition to rewrite  what our founders father have created.

More so that it’s geared to bring Peace within our body, then and only then can we have a true chance to achieve peace throughout the World.  


This is how I see America’s role, truly something that is and should be ordained by God for God. 

God is not an author of confusion, selfish people in office are.  


Please help me find a way to achieve God's plan for every Child, Woman and Man.  We Need God's People To Stand

In addition, President Obama, should ask Congress to come back from vacation and if they come back early and achieve nothing then let's deal with it when it happens.  Let's look to our President Obama to stand with us to ensure we will take the necessary steps to reform Congress if we have too.  But to say that you are not going to ask them to come back early because you feel that they will not achieve anything is like you given in to this corrupt way of thinking. 

Hold their feet to the fire like they hold yours. That to me is what leadership is about.

It’s sad, when the American people feel like all parties are in cahoots to act in a manner that only benefit them, instead for the Will of the American People.

Dear Mr. President My Response 2 President Obama Delivers a Statement on Debt Compromise

 Why are you allowing Congress to go home?  Why are you giving in to Hope of what others may or may not do in Congress, especially when in the end you go beyond bend, you caved in.  So how can we depend?   You said doing what’s fair, when in the past you have said as well as others “time and time again, we have compromised to no end”.  So now, we have to eat Peas to Please.  Everyone take a vacation or break, while the American people ache.  Being that you the politicians are the cause of this mess, and then talk about how you need rest, really show whose applying their Best or serving from their Chest.  

Let history show, our people in office Blows & God knows.

"I Give Myself Away" Part 1- by William McDowell

Dear God-I am asking that you intercede

Dear God,

I am asking for your help with our Government, White House included.  Lord I am asking that you intercede because we do not have anyone in office to represent or stand with us.  Lord, even though we know you see all, there is a lot who don’t believe, who pretend to win, knowing the end.  We need a miracle Lord, like replacing every politician in office with a new group of people.  People that represent all bodies and not just the special class, people that truly cares and are serving with their hearts and not just playing the part, or putting on a big show just to say no.  We need a representive in office, someone that is truly fighting for us and is willing to stand with us.  Someone that is willing to listening and do the right thing for the right reason.

Lord, I am also asking you to establish Dignity, Respect, and Pride to those that chooses to serve, especially those that say they represent the American People.  We need a leader or leaders that stand for things like love one another, help each other, teach one another, and work together, build together, and most of all establishing Peace throughout the World.  Lord, only you can give us this.   I ask this of you because the people we have in office can’t seem to get it together.  Use me Lord, as you see fit, and thank you for allowing me to be your conduit because I would be willing to sit with all the Leaders of the World to help achieve this. 

I ask these things in Jesus name Amen.

One Luv, & Peace To All ,God's People Stand Tall
