The Atlanta's Mayoralty Office has Lost It's Magic

To: All My Loyal Cyberspace Fans and Readers




Subject: The Atlanta's Mayoralty Office has Lost It's Magic



Date: 29, 2009



Dear Fans and Readers:



Around the beginning of the last three decades, blacks inundated large cities of America, establishing a monolithic black voting bloc which, for the first time, elected black Mayors; Atlanta was no exception.  A  child prodigy, sixteen-year-old graduate of Morehouse College, Maynard Jackson became the first black Mayor of the City of Atlanta. During these history-making years, these fledgling Mayoralty Administrations worked hard to prove that they could run the Mayoralty office as well, if not, better than whites; and did a damn good job of it, too! The Maynard Jackson's Administration was followed by another well run Atlanta's Mayoralty Administration--Mayor Andrew Young's.



However, beginning with the Bill Campbell's Mayoralty Administration, the City of Atlanta's Mayoralty office began to lose it magic. The citizens began to lose trust and confidence in the Atlanta's City government. You know the rest of the story! From that period on, the people of Atlanta's main skepticism have been focused on the Mayoralty office of the City of Atlanta. The current $100,000,000 that a most recent audit discovered missing from the books and no one has any clue of what happened to it; high water bills vexed homeowners due to the Watershed Department mismanagement and $80,000 penalty fees of taxpayers' money unnecessarily paid out for late payments, are all indicative of irresponsible, ineffective mayoralty leadership.



Meanwhile, with only two days left, I suggest that mayoral candidate Mary Norwood stop apologizing to black folks about whom she is; and start telling them who she is; in the context of such verbiage as, , "As you know my name is Mary Norwood, I'm white and proud of it and I'm running for Mayor of Atlanta. My opponent is Kasim Reed, a Blackman. Black leaders, especially civil rights and other, all have plotted against me becoming Mayor of Atlanta; simply because I'm white! I say to the black voters of Atlanta, please don't let anyone tells you who to vote for--not mother, father, husband, wife, or anyone else-- because your vote is personal and private. Don't be influenced to vote for skin color, be your own person and cast your vote for the more qualified candidate! What these civil rights and other black leaders are saying to you, 'Your vote is bequeathed to Kasim Reed because he's a Blackman! We don't care about qualifications; being black is the only qualification he needs to be Mayor of Atlanta!' On next Tuesday, December 1, 2009, show your courage and new found, independent thinking by breaking away from the crowd and vote for Mary Norwood--the better qualified candidate for Mayor of the City of Atlanta."
