TO: The Valdosta Daily Times Editor and all Americans...

Recently the Valdosta Daily Times (VDT), editor ran in their opinion column. “As a federal prosecutor decides whether to press charges against Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Georgia, we ask ourselves why she feels the need to (embarrass) her home state.” “We can only hope that McKinney’s inexcusable actions don’t tarnish the image of our state as we try to make it more appealing to visitors.”

Oh really! I was highly honored to have been in the company of our beloved Congresswoman from the 4th Congressional District D-GA following St Peters African Methodist Episcopal Church 2006, Mothers Day Banquet held in Valdosta, Georgia on May 13, 2006.

However, the things that could keep the forty-three international and stateside business investors out of our state is NOT Rep. McKinney’s actions with U.S. Capitol Hill Police as indicated in VDTs on April 6, 2006.

It is the real world conditions that exist in Valdosta, Lowndes County, and the State of Georgia. For example, out of twenty-three department heads in the city of Valdosta, and Lowndes County less than five (5), are held by Blacks as of Aug 2005. Moreover, there have been twelve know deaths in our surrounding the Lowndes County Jail (LCJ), http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1143438011
with no public official requesting an investigation for whatever reasons; citizens asked the District Attorney, a Grand Jury, Lowndes County Board of Commissioners,

Mayor and City Council, State Representatives. As to the person, persons, or agency responsible for complying with a U.S. District Court Judge Court Order and Consent Decree issued by Judge Hugh Lawson of the Middle District of Georgia Valdosta Division (CA# 89-54-VAL), was ever complied with and they provided no answer. http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1084324506

Fifteen law-abiding citizens were arrested on 5 May 2005 by the Mayor and Council for exercising their Constitutional Rights. They were held in the Lowndes County Jail for over 24 hours, and a 68-year-old former pastor was place in solitary confinement. http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1115686764

Then on 25 April 2006, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled the arrest unconstitutional.

When threats and racial slurs were made towards a Black candidate running for Chairman of the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners in a recent county election.
The local media whiteout machine never reported the victim’s name. Even though, a man was charged and arrested. The poll was closed temporarily and a sheriff’s deputy remained on the scene. However, the victim’s name was never released to the public by the local media whiteout machine. http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1093613982

When national civil rights organization representative came to town from Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Rainbow (PUSH) Coalition, and addressed the Valdosta City School Board of Education concerning children being taken out of school, and jailed with bipolar disorders.

The local media failed to inform the citizens of Lowndes County Georgia. Even though the School Board of Education Room was packed with concerned citizens. In 2005, an event was called and held in Barber Park by members of Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Rainbow (PUSH) Coalition and drew hundreds of people. However, the local media failed to cover the event. The VDT did publish a blurred picture and twenty words beneath it. But other news media failed to report this community event.

In this Metropolitan Metropolis, (Valdosta), there is only a seven (7)-Block Street named in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize Winner Rev. Martin L. King Jr., And in early 2004, an 1860 Valdosta City Charter was removed from Valdosta City Hall that led into the City Municipal Court Room where citizens came expecting justice in the State of Georgia. This charter had been displayed there for over twenty years. http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1079065922
My (George Rhynes), responds to the Mayor and Council on removing the 1860 City Charter: These are the things that embarrass a community, state, nation, and world! http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1079069241

Local citizens had to travel (too many) miles to cast their vote in a recent city election and this was a media whiteout. The Rainwater Conference Center had an alleged hiring problem that seems to exclude Blacks from management positions. One applicant application was not even considered and left in a desk drawer as reported by an employee.

Minority contractors are allegedly not being equally awarded as others in the construction world in Valdosta, and Lowndes County for whatever reasons. Moreover, when Tom Delay, Senator Strong Thurman, and our own local city officials had embarrassing moments. When some were charged with misappropriation of funds. Never did our local media report that they embarrassed our city, county and the State of Georgia.

When Vice President Chaney shot a fellow hunter and weapons of mass destruction was not found in Iraq. The same venom was not spewed out in black ink on white paper as NOW being done to The Honorable Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. But through our prayers, love, attention, support, and the (Holy Spirit) of our ancestors. This SHERO will stand VICTORIOUS. Because when truth comes falsehood must vanish and falsehood is forever a vanishing thing!

So what is all this fluff and stuff? If good Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindu, and YOU refuse to speak truth to power. Then WE the PEOPLE are contributing to the destruction of our beloved nation by burying our heads in the sand like the legend concerning the ostrich. And as a result the WORK of the founding fathers, Jesus, God, the prophets, Priests, Kings, Rabbis, Imams, etc will all be null and void.

Then we can truly say that the Masters Word of FREEDOM, JUSTICE, and EQUALITY is Forever Lost. http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1081988382
Because “WE THE PEOPLE” allowed an evil force to consume OUR better judgment and fell into the hands of a beast without wings, legs without feet, and a head without eyes. Then generations of our children will be required to fight in wars for unknown reasons all in the name of patriotism, and anything else they decide to tell us. God Bless America and everybody else.
