I Went Looking For Valerie And Found Gamaliel…
I was perusing Valerie Jarrett videos on YouTube and found one where she is giving a speech to ‘Realizing The Promise‘, a group a 2500 community organizers who went to Washington on 12.4.08 to speak with elected officials and shape the agenda for the congress and new administration. When I watched the video above, I realized that they have opened a #10 can of whoop ass and do not even realize it.
…understanding that ordinary people, when they come together around a common vision, with common goals, and common beliefs can do extraordinary things.
That statement sounds extraordinarily similar to the 9.12 Project and the upcoming March on Washington, D.C.
During the course of the research of one simple topic, many stepping stones have popped up to explore and this particular article could go on and on the way I am apt to do. In the hopes of not boring my readers too much, I am going to keep this post to just a few topics; introductions to Valerie Jarrett, Gamaliel Foundation, and Economic Policy Institute. For those of you that would like to watch the vids of the Realizing the Promise Forum on 12.4.08, you will find the links at the end of this post.
Now without further ado, Valerie Jarrett, (or as I like to call her, Obama’s second wife).

Gregory Galluzzo, a former Jesuit priest, is the Executive Director of the Gamaliel Foundation. In 1980 Galluzzo co-founded, along with his wife Mary Gonzalez, a Chicago Latino activist organization called the United Neighborhood Organization (UNO). Today, Ms. Gonzalez is the Gamaliel Foundation’s Director of Western Territory. UNO, also modeled after Alinsky’s methods, is known for using aggressive organizing and confrontational tactics to push for change.
The President of the Board of the Gamaliel Foundation is Ann Smith, who in 1985 became the first black female to win a statewide election in Illinois when she was voted onto the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.
The Gamaliel Foundation receives grants from the Bauman Family Foundation, the Public Welfare Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Ford Foundation, George Soros’s Open Society Institute, and others.

He doesn’t remember the name; says it’s not Jarrett. Heard it discussed today by Beck or Limbaugh.
Do you know who it is?
And how close is Jarrett to this organization?
