Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials
GABEO NEWS
The following resolution was authored by The Reverend Henry Ficklin , Macon City Council and Treasurer of the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials. It was unanimously adopted during the recent convention on June 22, 2002.
WHEREAS: Senator Zell Miller has long enjoyed the overwhelming support of the Georgia African American vote in his races both for Lt. Governor and Governor of our state; and
WHEREAS: Both his appointment and election as Senator from the state of Georgia also were unquestionably and heavily supported by the African American voters of our state; and
WHEREAS: Senator Zell Miller has been the epitome of the southern gentleman in all his public dealings, especially as it relates to ladies and his colleagues from the state of Georgia; and
WHEREAS: Senator Miller in his book, Corps Values, states that "the only basis upon which diversity can coexist with commonality and all people can pursue individual goals for themselves while contributing to the general well-being and advancement of society as a whole" is the core values he learned during his 90 days of basic training for the Marine Corps on Parris Island; and
WHEREAS: "Core values" include respect of others (particularly females) and the fundamental Christian teachings of diversity and inculcation of the Golden Rule; and
WHEREAS: Senator Miller has recently made scurrilous comments and excoriating remarks regarding Representative Cynthia McKinney, the first African American female elected to the U.S. Congress from the state of Georgia; and
WHEREAS: His comments and remarks seek to impugn the integrity of Representative Cynthia McKinney's coexistent diversity in the U.S. Congress as she pursues individual goals for herself while she contributes to the general well being and advancement of society as a whole; and
WHEREAS: Many news revelations and public sentiment have regarded Representative Cynthia McKinney's political acumen as clairvoyant and prudent, Senator Zell Miller has refused to temper his continuous flay towards Representative Cynthia McKinney.
THEREFORE: The Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials (GABEO) resolved that Senator Zell Miller is urged to remedy the dissension resulting from his remarks of difference and regain the friendship status that he has long since enjoyed with a constituency that was offended by his comments by offering Representative Cynthia McKinney the same respect given to other elected leaders in the state of Georgia, thus returning to the core values that make it possible for all of us to coexist with commonalty despite our diversity.

Yep - GABEO's head, state Rep. Tyrone Brooks is a pseudo-leader who tries to run his mouth and act as a Jesse Jackson wannabe in the state house.
Yes!! I am now AntiJen (pronounced like antigen) - an irritant to liberals! hahaha
Darn. Another FReeper I'm not allowed to talk to...:)
(Too cute)
Do Bulls Fly?
If we can get the Republicans in McKinney's district to vote for Majette in the Democratic primary Denise can win.
Everyone on this thread should know that Majette is a liberal's liberal...but anyone with a chance to defeat McKinney will receive my support.
Personally, I don't think that it will matter, for the McKinney name is all that they care about. They see her as being connected to a "Civil Rights" leader, and that is all that matters in their minds.
It doesn't matter that she is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Well, that wouldn't matter anyway, for it appears that most blacks support socialists.
Do you have a problem with me voting in the Democratic primary for the only challenger to Cynthia McKinney?
This departure from reality indicates the need for a slight name change to their organization, to GAZEBO-Georgia Association of Zany Elected Black Officials.
