Uptown Security

Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution (CADR)

2007-03-17T04:17:00.000-04:00

Uptown Security will start a program of conflict analysis and dispute resolution (CADR). It is to be housed at 2439 Auburn Avenue. We will train over the summer of 2007 300 students age 14 to 21 conflict analysis and dispute resolution (CADR) with support from the community and in partnership with the 100 Male March Uptown starting on 29 April 2007.

The requirements for our CADR program are to be based on the teaching of Martin Luther King. The program will be lead by program director Dr. John Hurdelman with program manager Col. Charles Britton (ONG-Ret.) having over 20 years experience in CADR.

Our major goal is designed to provide a sound pre-professional training ground for students who intend to pursue professional conflict intervention positions. The summer program is designed to provide specialized pre-professional training with emphasis on analytical and practical skills in field situations. Although anchored in a liberal arts tradition and strongly rooted in the social sciences, the program is designed to easily allow students to study in other fields outside CADR including a the business of arts & entertainment track, a science and technology track, a construction and community development track, a sports and athletics track ran with Olympic and Professional Athletes along with a social services track that enriches CADR skills in interpersonal relationship among their peers.

Cincinnati Changes staff will work with students individually to develop strong analytical and practical skills. Students are also guided in the development of a work ethic appropriate to professional conflict resolution practitioners.

Students when taught conflict analysis and dispute resolution will serve in the field working with alliances partners of Cincinnati Change i.e. organizations and institutions that need conflict resolution services.

Iraq De-escalation Act 2007

2007-02-01T15:00:00.000-05:00

Dear Nubian Oracle,

Today, we sadly find ourselves at the very point in Iraq I feared most when I opposed giving the President the open-ended authority to wage this war in 2002 – an occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences in the midst of a country torn by civil war.

We have waited and we have been patient. We have given chance after chance for a resolution that has not come, and, more importantly, watched with horror and grief the tragic loss of thousands of brave young Americans.

The time for waiting in Iraq is over. The days of our open-ended commitment must come to a close. And the need to bring this war to an end is here.

That is why today, I’m introducing the Iraq War De-escalation Act of 2007. This plan would not only place a cap on the number of troops in Iraq and stop the escalation, it would begin a phased redeployment of U.S. forces with the goal of removing of all U.S. combat forces from Iraq by March 31st, 2008 – consistent with the recommendations of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group that the President ignored.

The redeployment of troops to the United States , Afghanistan , and elsewhere in the region would begin no later than May 1st of this year, toward the end of the timeframe I first proposed in a speech more than two months ago. In a civil war where no military solution exists, this redeployment remains our best leverage to pressure the Iraqi government to achieve the political settlement between its warring factions that can slow the bloodshed and promote stability.

The U.S. military has performed valiantly and brilliantly in Iraq . Our troops have done all we have asked them to do and more. But no amount of American soldiers can solve the political differences at the heart of somebody else’s civil war, nor settle the grievances in the hearts of the combatants.

When it comes to the war in Iraq, the time for promises and assurances, for waiting and patience, is over. Too many lives have been lost and too many billions have been spent for us to trust the President on another tried and failed policy opposed by generals and experts, Democrats and Republicans, Americans and even the Iraqis themselves.

It is time to change our policy.

It is time to give Iraqis their country back.

And it is time to refocus America ’s efforts on the challenges we face at home and the wider struggle against terror yet to be won.

Sincerely,

U.S. Senator Barack Obama

This WAR is for REAL !

Who we at War with in totality is not yet clear, but to get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. The war in Iraq is a very large battle front. Even the War on Terror now is just a battlefront.

Cincinnati Change believes that the United States of America, our country, is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it.

This War will be as bloody as the Civil War and as great a challenge as the Second World War.

We are in World War IV whether we like it or not, or whether we know it or like it. We cannot appease our out of this, the other side wants to win.

The deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this war and even fewer who realize what losing really means.

First, let’s examine a few basics:

1. When did the threat to us start?

Many will say September 11, 2001. The answer as far as the United States is concerned is 1979, 22 years prior to September 2001, with the following attacks on us:

* Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979;
* Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983;
* Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983;
* Leon Klinghoffer October , 1985
* Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988;
* First New York World Trade Center attack 1993;
* Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996;
* Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998;
* Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998;
* Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000;
* New York World Trade Center 2001;
* Pentagon 2001.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET
(Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581 terrorist attacks worldwide).

Uptown Security will become a Accredited Law Enforcement Agency

2006-08-05T01:34:00.000-04:00

Accreditation is a familiar word in numerous industries and professions including education and medicine. Accreditation was introduced to the Law Enforcement community in 1979 when several professional groups collaborated and formed the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The founders of CALEA were professionals from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP); National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE); National Sheriffs' Association (NSA); and Police Executive Research Forum (PERF).

The overall purpose is the professionalism of law enforcement agencies by improving the delivery of law enforcement service by offering a body of standards, developed by law enforcement practitioners, covering a wide range of up-to-date law enforcement topics. It recognizes professional achievements by offering an orderly process for addressing and complying with applicable standards. The process is entirely voluntary. It is entered into by the law enforcement agency voluntarily. The agency chooses to comply with applicable standards voluntarily and voluntarily chooses to remain in the accreditation process.

Cincinnati has entered and passed this procedure. The standards address seven major areas consisting of: law enforcement roles, responsibilities and relationships with other agencies; organization, management and administration; personnel structure and process; traffic operations; prisoner and court-related operations; communications; and property and evidence control.

The Cincinnati Police Department applied for CALEA accreditation in 1995 and received initial accreditation in 1997. As part of the process, three qualified assessors hired and trained by CALEA, visit the agency every three years to assess the agency's compliance with applicable standards. They spend nearly one week onsite. Where Cincinnati Change can help we will.

They report their findings to the Commission staff. After a review of the report, the Commission staff refers the report to a committee comprised of CALEA commissioners. A hearing is held between candidate agency representatives and the committee. The committee then votes on the recommended status of the agency and refers its findings to the full commission for a vote. The Cincinnati Police Department was reaccredited in 2000 and 2003 by vote of the full commission after the onsite assessments showed the Department met the requirements set forth by CALEA for reaccreditation. The next onsite will be in 2006.

Cincinnati Change will work with these type agencies in support of Uptown Security and it's client the 100 Male March Ministry of the Ammons United Methodist Church Mens Conference to provide solutions to these problems of justice in the City of Cincinnati -

Create a program to have on 1,000 people under court juristriction on a patented wireless location network so as to free up at least 800 jail positions.
Uptown Security will create for the city of Cincinnati a new jail for 1,800 local prisoners and 2,200 federal prisoners. The facility will be paid for based on a contract between Uptown Security and partners with the city, the county and other governmental agencies. It will be a building complex that is to house 1,000 men, women and selected youth as part of public private partnership overseen by a faith based leadership with the one year old Ammons United Methodist Church Mens Conference Ministry called the 100 Male March Ministry.
Create a faith based program for 1,000 violent ex-felons who are re-entering the community through a jobs and business creation program in partnership with the 100 Male March Ministry.
Create jobs for 3,000 ex felons over the next three years through the use of funds from the sale of city asset's used for citizens of the city.
Create a first responders school for three states with Operation Enduring Service that will create over 2,000 new jobs in its Ohio locations.

100 days of action

2006-07-30T01:36:00.000-04:00

The Lloyd Daniels Daniels Development Group will create a trust for a Pew Pastor Ministry of Ammons United Methodist Church under the leadership of Wanda Lloyd Daniels. The pastor the Ammons, Vera Cole, has provided leadership to a group of Cincinnati churches that after one year are continuing to mobilize their men to bring about change not only in their neighborhoods, but also to the people who live there.

The 100 Male March Ministries was launched one year ago on a 5th Sunday with a walk in a troubled Walnut Hills neighborhood from Peoples Corner to Ammons United Methodist Church. They will gather this Sunday the 30th of July 2006 to celebrate one year of action at 934 E. McMillan St. and march to Ammons United Methodist Church. Each man is asked to bring a boy to mentor. Call 513.545.7905 for more information.

According to Melvin Williams, president of the Cincinnati District United Methodist Men and manager of the CVS Pharmacy on East McMillan Street at Pebbles Corner, "We're trying to put a human face on Christianity from the male point of view."

LDG created Cincinnati Change to encourages increased economic activity in Hamilton County with faith based partners like Ammons. LDG will create companies that support the ministry like Hughes Electronics did the Hughes Medical Institute through trusts setup by each company that supports our youth. Over the next 100 days we will impliment a program that effects 20,000 households, 50,000 people in the region and supports 1,000 businesses.

Through Cincinnati Change LDG is proposing to create with Ammons United Methodist Church a Cincinnati Company called Churches Can Change Cincinnati NOW, Inc. (C4N) that over the next 100 days would impliment a plan of action to impliment a continium of care for young men and boys.

This company will also provide consulting, homeland safety and security infrastructure management, design and construction from our headquarters in Cincinnati as a faith based enterprise that is owned in part by the ministries of the churches involved and the companies created as church affiliated companies who will pay their taxes on unrelated business income and use the rest to support the needs of young men and boys.

During 2007, more than $500 billion dollars is being allocated for and through the federal, state and local government units in the United States and our for profit businesses will take advantage of these contracts with it's faith based sponsors in the following areas -:

Uptown Secuity Cargo Operations

2006-07-29T21:33:00.000-04:00

Drawn from the bright and early blog and our own sources.

[Ward Brewer] The former emergency responder is the CEO of Beauchamp Tower Corporation, a non-profit organization with a bold and brilliant idea: convert obsolete, scrapyard-bound military vessels into a fleet of state-of-the-art disaster response ships that can be on-site after a major natural disaster like last yearÃ’s Hurricane Katrina in a matter of hours instead of days. Many of the challenges Beauchamp Tower Corporation have been document Operation Enduring Service on the OES Project Weblog.

Retired Navy veterans such as Mars-class combat stores ships and other obsolete but still-capable cargo ships will be refitted to provide complex emergency communications support that can replace cell phone and radio towers lost in a hurricane, so that on-shore first responders can answer rescue calls even if the local phone and radio systems are destroyed.

These same ships, crewed by the Coast Guard Auxiliary and supported by disaster-aid groups, can bring in hundreds of emergency-response personnel to a disaster zone and provide them housing so that lodging on-shore can be dedicated to the victims of the storm, while bringing thousands of tons of supplies. Each ship will also be capable of distilling, bottling, and shipping thousands of gallons of water and over 100 tons of ice to shore each day.

This humanitarian fleet, what a blog called this Salvation Navy will have far more disaster-response capability than anything currently in use by either FEMA or the military, and here's the kicker it actually saves taxpayers money.

Cincinnati Change added onto that the plan of action to create two fleets that would act as the first African American lead Professional Military Company who would be a contractor to the US government through Operation Enduring Service (OES) which would use these ships. As of the 30th of July 2006 Cincinnati Change has extended the right hand of fellowship to create through a faith based partnership a new company called Uptown Security which will do this action with OES. we have contacted the office of management and Budget and have received direction that we are following in the creation of a for profit company called Uptown Security as a Ohio company based in Cincinnati.

This new company Uptown Security would provide for the construction of over 10 million homes in Africa and the Middle East along with a million homes in the America's through through a AID contract. At the same time we will be creating a million homes (for first responders) in the United States under a federal contract. We will start with housing for 100,000 people within 150 days under a contract proposal as a modification to already establishedgovernment contractst and includes authority and budget granted to the United States Department of Homeland Security, starting 1 October 2006. Cincinnati Change has hired Hargrove Engineering to plan this out.
In part, we would create our FleetCargo Operations around the AFS-1 Mars Combat Stores Ship

The combat stores ship is a class of U.S. Navy ship. They provide supplies, including frozen, chilled and dry provisions, and propulsion and aviation fuel to U.S. Navy combatant ships that are at sea for extended periods of time. Under our plan of action these ships will be among the first full time public private sector faith based partnership supply chain that will stretch from the east and west coast of the United States to around the world.

We will carry relief supplies, general cargo, construction materials, building products, raw materials, students, volunteers, medical personal, and a wide variety of ship to ship stores as American flvesselsessals.

Mars was the first of a new class that was intended to replace three types of supply ships: the AF, AKS, and AVS. Two innovations were Boeing UH‑46 helicopters and an automatic highline shuttle transfer system to make a rapid transfer of supplies possible.

The mission of the combat stores ship is to conduct underway replenishment in support of operating forces by providing refrigerated stores, dry provisions, technical spares, general stores, fleet freight, mail and personnel by alongside or vertical replenishment means.

The AFS-1 Mars Combat Stores ships conduct underway replenishment in support of operating forces by simultaneously providing refrigerated stores, dry provisions, technical (including aviation) spares, general stores, fleet freight, mail, personnel and other items from five station (two starboard and three port). Under our operations they will conduct UNREP for 64 hours per week. Crews will be flown to operational base operations in Liberia.

UNREP hours are considered to commence with "first line over" and terminate with "last line clear." They conduct vertical replenishment in support of operating forces by providing refrigerated stores, dry provisions, technical (including aviation) spares, general stores, fleet freight, mail, personnel and other items from other units or temporarily assigned by periods normally not to exceed 32 hours per week. This includes the time from the setting of flight quarters to securing from flight quarters.

USNS Concord (T-AFS 5) became the first of five Navy Mars class ships to be transferred to Military Sealift Command on Oct. 15, 1992. Mars followed on Feb. 1, 1993, USNS San Diego on Aug. 11, 1993, USNS San Jose on Nov. 2, 1993 and USNS Niagara Falls on Sept. 23, 1994. San Diego was deactivated on Dec. 10, 1997, and Mars was deactivated on Feb. 12, 1998. Mars was decommissioned on 19 February 1998, and laid up in the Pacific Reserve Fleet, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Mars was struck from the Naval Register on 24 May 2004.

We will now ask the president of the United States to allow us to create a fleet operations that will support the reconstruction efforts of the United States around the world with 1,000 partners who will create a ten year plan of action and put 10 billion dollars into the effort. During that period we will build over 40 million sq. ft. of space with a million person workforce with 10,000 faith based partners and non governmental organizations.

MSC's combat stores ships provided logistical support to deployed carrier battle groups and amphibious ready groups, in addition to resupplying several U.S. embassies. During 1999 USNS Niagara Falls and USNS San Jose coordinated fuel and stores replenishments for carrier battle groups USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, USS John C. Stennis, USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Enterprise while in the Persian Gulf.

In addition, Niagara Falls supported efforts that were key to the successful U.S. strikes against terrorist targets in Afghanistan and Sudan. She also provided maritime assistance to ocean tug Ruby II, which needed fresh water and medical services. San Jose rescued 18 crew members from a sinking Panamanian vessel near Okinawa. Finally, USNS Concord provided contingency support off the Florida coast for the Space Shuttle Discovery launch.

On August 2 2006 we will publically ask for the city of Cincinnati to hold hearings to determine if Cincinnati Change should be granted a contract based on their request to develop Uptown Security and provide jobs for over 1,200 seamen who will live in Cincinnati. We will have 800 students in our regional Maritime Academy in the 2007/8 school year.

Murder Naveed Afzal Haq

2006-07-29T19:21:00.000-04:00

SEATTLE - Officials stepped up security at both synagogues and mosques Saturday as authorities investigated a shooting at a Jewish organization that killed an employee and wounded five others, including a pregnant woman.

Police arrested Naveed Afzal Haq, 30, after the shooting Friday afternoon and he was booked for investigation of homicide and attempted homicide, police said. They were investigating the shooting as a hate crime.

Haq was expected to make an initial court appearance Saturday afternoon.

The gunman forced his way through the security door at the federation after an employee had punched in her security code, Marla Meislin-Dietrich, a database coordinator for the center who was not at the building at the time, told The Associated Press.

"He said `I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel,' before opening fire on everyone," Meislin-Dietrich said. "He was randomly shooting at everyone."

Police would not confirm the account.

Pam Waechter, 58, an assistant director at the federation, died at the scene, said Nancy Geiger, the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle's interim chief executive.

"This is just an extraordinary shock. We lost a really wonderful colleague, a wonderful friend. It's hard," Geiger said.

As employees fled the center, a SWAT team raced to the scene and cordoned off several downtown blocks. The gunman surrendered moments later after speaking with a 911 dispatcher. That conversation led police to believe the shooting was a hate crime, authorities said.

Five other women were shot, including a 37-year-old who is five months pregnant and was hit in the forearm. She was in satisfactory condition, along with a woman who was shot in the knee. Three others were shot in the abdomen and were hospitalized in serious condition.

Mayor Greg Nickels and Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske said officers were moving to protect synagogues and mosques around the city, but said there was no evidence of a broad conspiracy.

"This was a purposeful, hateful act, as far as we know by an individual acting on his own," Nickels said.

Authorities have been advising synagogues and Jewish groups to be watchful in the weeks since hostilities erupted between Israel and Lebanon. Assistant Police Chief Nick Metz said the warning was not in response to any specific threats.

Kerlikowske said police were protecting mosques "because there's always the concern of retaliatory crime."

When asked if the suspect was Muslim, Kerlikowske said at a news conference, "you could infer that that was his background." Laura Laughlin, special agent in charge of the Seattle FBI office, said Haq was a U.S. citizen.

Haq's lawyer, Larry Stephenson, told The Seattle Times that he thought Haq was single and unemployed, and that Haq had a misdemeanor lewd conduct charge pending in Benton County. Haq had been accused of exposing himself in a public place, Stephenson told The Times.

Haq's parents were shaken by his arrest in the shootings, the lawyer said.

"I talked to his father, and his mother is crying, and they don't know what is going on," Stephenson said. "They are very, very shook up."

Yousef Shehadeb, 46, a member of the Islamic Center of the Tri-Cities, recalled Haq as quiet and something of a loner. Shehadeb said he and Haq's father, Mian Haq, both work at the Hanford nuclear reservation, as do many members of the area's Muslim community.

No one answered the door to an Associated Press reporter on Saturday at the Haq residence north of Pasco.

Shehadeb hadn't called the Haqs, he said, because "I didn't know what to say."

In a statement, the Islamic Center offered condolences to the shooting victims and said "we disassociate this act from our Islamic teachings and beliefs."

Regional Social Service Organization, Political Parties or Terrorists?

2006-07-29T19:19:00.000-04:00

MOSCOW - Russia on Friday published a list of 17 groups it regards as terrorist organizations, but did not include the Palestinian militant movement Hamas or Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrilla group, both regarded as terrorists in Washington.

Separately, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Hezbollah must have a say in any agreements in the Middle East crisis, Russian news agencies reported — another sign of differences between Russia and the United States about the region.

"Any agreements must be coordinated with all the basic forces in Lebanon, including Hezbollah, as an organization that is represented in the parliament and government of Lebanon," RIA-Novosti reported quoted Lavrov as saying on a plane returning from an Asian security meeting in Malaysia. Hezbollah has 11 members in Lebanon's 128-seat parliament, and two Cabinet ministers.

The terrorist list, published in the official daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta, included al-Qaida and the Taliban as well as the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, a rebel group fighting for Kashmir'sindependence from India, and Egypt's banned Muslim Brotherhood. ( News News Photos Images Web )

The Russian Federal Security Service's top official in charge of fighting international terrorism, Yuri Sapunov, said Hamas and Hezbollah were not a major threat to Russia and were not regarded as terrorist groups worldwide.

But he said Russian security agencies took account of international lists of terrorist groups when exchanging intelligence with foreign counterparts. Sapunov told Rossiiskaya Gazeta the list of 17 "includes only those organizations which represent the greatest threat to the security of our country." Groups linked to separatist militants in Chechnya (News News Photos Images Web )and Islamic radicals in Central Asia made the list.

Russia has come under criticism for its refusal to list Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations.

Israel' name Israel is now fighting a ground and air war in Lebanon against Hezbollah guerrillas, who are firing rockets into northern Israel. Israeli forces have also attacked the Gaza Strip to target Hamas militants. Russia has criticized the scale of the Israeli offensive, while the United States has blamed Hezbollah for the violence.

President Vladimir Putin ( News News Photos Images Web ) earlier this year provoked U.S. and Israeli anger by inviting leaders of Hamas to Moscow shortly after their January election victory. The meeting made no progress in softening the group's refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist or foreswear violence.

Lavrov's reported comment about Hezbollah echoed the arguments Russian officials made for inviting Hamas leaders, when they said that they were dealing with Hamas as an entity that had just come to power in elections.

Lavrov said that Russia's support for a Hezbollah role in decision-making in the Mideast crisis was shared by European countries and U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan ( News News Photos Images Web ) adding: "As for support from the Americans for this position, I have no such information," RIA-Novosti reported.

The European Union ( News News Photos Images Web ) considers Hamas a terrorist organization and along with the United States slapped financial sanctions on the new Hamas-led government. But it does not list Hezbollah as a terrorist group.

President Bush Signs Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006

2006-07-29T19:13:00.000-04:00

9:34 A.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Good morning. Welcome. Thanks for being here on this special day. Please be seated. America began with a Declaration that all men are created equal. This Declaration marked a tremendous advance in the story of freedom, yet it also contained a contradiction: Some of the same men who signed their names to this self-evident truth owned other men as property. By reauthorizing this act, Congress has reaffirmed its belief that all men are created equal; its belief that the new founding started by the signing of the bill by President Johnson is worthy of our great nation to continue. (Applause.)

I'm proud to be here with our Attorney General and members of my Cabinet, the leaders of the United States Senate and House of Representatives. I thank the bill sponsors, I thank the members of the Judiciary Committee. I appreciate so very much representatives of the Hamer family who have joined us -- (applause) -- representatives of the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute who have joined us -- (applause) -- and members of the King family, in particular Reverend Bernice King and Martin Luther King[III}, thank you all for coming. (Applause.)

I'm honored to be here with civil rights leaders like Dr. Dorothy Height -- (applause) -- Julian Bond, the Chairman of the NAACP -- (applause) -- Bruce Gordon, thank you Bruce -- (applause) -- Reverend Lowery, it's good to see you again, sir -- (applause) -- fortunately I got the mic this time. (Laughter.) I'm proud to be here with Marc Morial. Thanks for coming Marc. (Applause.) Juanita Abernathy is with us today. Jesse Jackson, good to see you, Jesse. (Applause.) Al Sharpton -- (applause) -- Dr. Benjamin Hooks and Frances are with us. (Applause.)

A lot of other folks who care deeply about this issue. We welcome you here. It's good to welcome the mayor. Mr. Mayor, good to see you. Thanks for coming. Tony Williams. (Applause.) Everything is fine in the neighborhood, I appreciate it. (Laughter.) And the Mayor of Selma, Alabama, James Perkins, is with us. Mr. Mayor, proud you're here. (Applause.) Welcome, sir.

The right of ordinary men and women to determine their own political future lies at the heart of the American experiment, and it is a right that has been won by the sacrifice of patriots. The Declaration of Independence was born on the stand for liberty taken at Lexington and Concord. The amendments to our Constitution that outlawed slavery and guaranteed the right to vote came at the price of a terrible civil war.

The Voting Rights Act that broke the segregationist lock on the ballot box rose from the courage shown on a Selma bridge one Sunday afternoon in March of 1965. On that day, African Americans, including a member of the United States Congress, John Lewis -- (applause) -- marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in a protest intended to highlight the unfair practices that kept them off the voter rolls.

The brutal response showed America why a march was necessary. When the marchers reached the far side of the bridge, they were met by state troopers and civilian posse bearing billy clubs and whips -- weapons they did not hesitate to use. The images of policemen using night sticks on peaceful protestors were carried on television screens across the country, and they stung the conscience of a slumbering America.

One week after Selma, President Lyndon Johnson took to the airwaves to announce that he planned to submit legislation that would bring African Americans into the civic life of our nation. Five months after Selma, he signed the Voting Rights Act into law in the Rotunda of our nation's capitol. (Applause.) In a little more than a year after Selma, a newly enfranchised black community used their power at the ballot box to help defeat the sheriff who had sent men with whips and clubs to the Edmund Pettus Bridge on that bloody Sunday.

For some parts of our country, the Voting Rights Act marked the first appearance of African Americans on the voting rolls since Reconstruction. And in the primaries and elections that followed the signing of this act, many African Americans pulled the voting lever for the first time in their lives.

Eighty-one year old Willie Bolden was the grandson of slaves, and in the spring of 1966, he cast his first ballot in Alabama's Democratic primary. He told a reporter, "It felt good to me. It made me think I was sort of somebody." In the America promised by our founders, every citizen is a somebody, and every generation has a responsibility to add its own chapter to the unfolding story of freedom. (Applause.)

In four decades since the Voting Rights Act was first passed, we've made progress toward equality, yet the work for a more perfect union is never ending. We'll continue to build on the legal equality won by the civil rights movement to help ensure that every person enjoys the opportunity that this great land of liberty offers. And that means a decent education and a good school for every child, a chance to own their own home or business, and the hope that comes from knowing that you can rise in our society by hard work and God-given talents. (Applause.)

Today, we renew a bill that helped bring a community on the margins into the life of American democracy. My administration will vigorously enforce the provisions of this law, and we will defend it in court. (Applause.) This legislation is named in honor of three heroes of American history who devoted their lives to the struggle of civil rights: Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King. (Applause.) And in honor of their memory and their contributions to the cause of freedom, I am proud to sign the Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006. (Applause.)

(The act is signed.) (Applause.)

National Gambling Impact Study Commission Final Report

Problem and Pathological Gambling

The Commission respectfully recommends that all governments take every step necessary to implement all relevant components of the recommendations listed here before lotteries or any other form of legalized gambling is allowed to operate or to continue to operate.

Such requirements should be specifically itemized in a state statute as applicable to a state-run lottery. Similarly, such requirements should also be specified and made applicable for inclusion in tribal government law and tribal-state compacts.

4-1 The Commission respectfully recommends that all relevant governmental gambling regulatory agencies require, as a condition of any gambling facility’s license to operate, that each applicant adhere to the following:

— Adopt a clear mission statement as to applicant’s policy on problem and pathological gambling.

— Appoint an executive of high rank to execute and provide ongoing oversight of the corporate mission statement on problem and pathological gambling.

— Contract with a state-recognized gambling treatment professional to train management and staff to develop strategies for recognizing and addressing customers whose gambling behavior may strongly suggest they may be experiencing serious to severe difficulties.

— Under a state “hold harmless” statute, refuse service to any customer whose gambling behavior convincingly exhibits indications of a gambling disorder.

— Under a state “hold harmless” statute, respectfully and confidentially provide the customer (as described above) with written information that includes a state-approved list of professional gambling treatment programs and state-recognized self-help groups.

— Provide insurance that makes available medical treatment for problem and for pathological gambling facility employees.

4-2 The Commission recommends that each state and tribal government enact, if it has not already done so, a gambling privilege tax, assessment, or other contribution on all gambling operations within its boundaries, based upon the gambling revenues of each operation. A sufficient portion of such monies shall be used to create a dedicated fund for the development and ongoing support of problem gambling-specific research, prevention, education, and treatment programs. The funding dedicated for these purposes shall be sufficient to implement the following goals:

— Undertake biennial research by a nonpartisan firm experienced in problemgambling research to estimate the prevalence of problem and pathological gambling among the general adult population. Specific focus on major subpopulations including youth, women, elderly, and minority group gamblers should also be included. An estimate of prevalence among patrons at gambling facilities or outlets in each form of gambling should also be included.

— Initiate public awareness, education, and prevention programs aimed at vulnerable populations. One such purpose of such programs will be to intercept the progression of many problem gamblers to pathological states.

— Identify and maintain a list of gambling treatment services available from licensed or state-recognized professional providers, as well as the presence of staterecognized self-help groups.

— Establish a demographic profile for treatment recipients and services provided, as state and federal laws permit. Develop a treatment outcome mechanism that will compile data on the efficacy of varying treatment methods and services offered, and determine whether sufficient professional treatment is available to meet the demands of persons in need.

— When private funding is not available, subsidize the costs of approved treatment by licensed or state-recognized gambling treatment professionals for problem and pathological gamblers as well as adversely affected persons. Additionally, such funds shall ensure that persons in need of treatment can receive necessary support based upon financial need. Treatment cost reimbursement levels and protocols will be established by each state.

4-3 Despite the fact that pathological gambling is a recognized medical disorder, most insurance companies and managed care providers do not reimburse for treatment. The Commission recommends to states that they mandate that private and public insurers and managed care providers identify successful treatment programs, educate participants
about pathological gambling and treatment options, and cover the appropriate programs under their plans.

4-4 The Commission recommends that each gambling facility must implement procedures to allow for voluntary self-exclusion, enabling gamblers to ban themselves from a gambling establishment for a specified period of time.

4-5 The Commission recommends encouraging private volunteerism of groups and associations working across America to solve problem gambling, especially those involving practitioners who are trying to help people who are problem gamblers. This should include strategically pooling resources and networking, drawing on the lists of recommendations these organizations have presented to the Commission, and working to develop uniform methods of diagnosis.

4-6 The Commission recommends each state-run or approved gambling operation be required to conspicuously post and disseminate the telephone numbers of at least two state-approved providers of problem-gambling information, treatment, and referral support services.

Google to the rescue

2006-01-25T01:11:00.000-05:00

Google Refuses Bush Admin Order to Turn Over User Data

Yesterday, the Bush Administration asked a federal judge to order Google to give the US Government access to approximately one week of recorded searches.

The US Government says it needs the information to determine how often pornographic files are searched for and/or found using the Google search engine. It has already acquired similar data from other, unnamed, search engines.

Court papers filed in San Jose yesterday revealed that Google refused a Justice Department subpoena issued last year which ordered Google to turn over 1-million random search requests and records of all searches and results for a full, one-week period.

Fearing a privacy backlash, Google refused to honour the subpoena last year and is fighting the Justice Department this week.

Interviewed by the San Jose Mecury News yesterday, an associate general counsel for Google, Nicole Wong said, "Google is not a party to this lawsuit, and the demand for the information is overreaching." She added Google will fight government vigerously.

The US Government contends it requires this information as part of its defense of the Child Online Protection Act, as part of a case being heard in a Pennsylvania Federal Court.

The Child Online Protection Act was struck down by the US Supreme Court in 2004 for being too broad and unfocused. In its ruling, the Supreme Court recognized the Government's responsibility to protect children by suggesting the Government rewrite the COPA so that it does not violate First Amendment protections outlined in the constitution.

Instead of rewriting a law the US Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional, the US Government appears ready to defend it by violating the privacy of Google users and of the corporation itself. If Google is forced to release the data, it will also be forced to reveal important technical information it considers trade secrets.

2006-01-15T12:03:00.000-05:00

We have over 440 years of uncontrolled police, from the time of slavery which started in North America in 1565.

We believe that white collar crime has caused this Nation over trillion dollars in lost capital for solutions to problems like those in New Orleans and in the Nati.We plan to change that through a prototype created in Cincinnati, Ohio that can serve as a model for the nation.

We, the founders of Uptown Security, know, police have a tough time no matter what the environment they are operating in, if they are enforcing laws that regulate morality then it's even tougher.

What we mean is that we must first invest in the people as well as the police because the goal is public safety not spending money on facilities but a safe and secure city.

People.....It takes people and we need you to JOIN US.

So come join us at Music Hall on Monday 16 January 2006 at 11:30 in Washington Park and help, also at noon a free concert for Martin Luther King Day at Music Hall.What we will be proposing is a solution that provides jobs for 9,000 people in the Nati.

It will care for 100,000 households in the Gulf who have no homes.

The Federal government has given the founders of Cincinnati Change a chance to bid on operations of 7,000 sites in the south. The bid is for $90M and will be used to create 1,000 business relationships to manage for 5 years the 7,000 trailers whereas Cincinnati Change will keep 9% of each company created ( for the 50,000 residents of the Cincinnati Empowerment Zone who will have invested their $100M in revenue bonds in Gulf Change and affiliated companies).

We will have a meeting on 16 January 2006 at 11:30 where Cincinnati Change is creating a limited liability company called Queen City Development Group at Washington Park right across from Music Hall. Then we will walk in for the FREE 12:00 Martin Luther King Day event.

Over the next five years we will recruit over 10,000 businesses and 100,000 people in the Gulf to pick up the bill afterwards, either through their representative government and constitutional right to redress grievances to the government and or direct contracts with our subsidiary Queen City Development Group and it's affiliate Gulf Change through the business process developed by Hershel Daniels, Junior.

Each year we will celebrate it with a prayer breakfast at 2439 Auburn Avenue and dinner at 1301 McMillan Avenue at 16:00 (4p.m.) For more info contact us at 513.381.5111 ext 3 or email us at admin@cincinnatichange.com.

"While we identify and address the systemic and institutional sources of injustice, we must also recognize our own culpability," said a UMW statement. "Often, protective of our own need for jobs, lower taxes and private schools over the common good, we have bought into the mentality of reducing taxes and privatizing public services, leaving larger and larger groups of people behind."

Thank the Lord.

More to Come

Cincinnati Change starts Uptown Security on 16 January 2006 at Music Hall

2006-01-11T04:51:00.000-05:00

On 16 January 2006 at 11:30 Cincinnati Change is creating a limited liability company called Queen City Development Group at Washington Park right across from Music Hall. Then we will walk in for the FREE 12:00 Martin Luther King Day event with Bishop E. Lynn Brown, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, Second District, Cincinnati.

E. Lynn Brown was elected the 46th bishop of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church in 1986 in Birmingham, AL. He was born April 2, 1936. As a native of Jackson, Tennessee, Bishop Brown joins the sainted Bishop Isaac Lane as one of the only two bishops of the church born in Madison County, Tennessee, the birthplace of the CME Church. According to family lore, in 1870 his great grandmother was the cook for one of the bishops of the M.E. Church, South, during the organization of the CME Church. Thus, his nurture in the church from the "incipiency of his being" all the way through college on the very grounds where Christian Methodism originated is unique.

Bishop Brown's elementary and secondary education was from the public schools of Madison County, TN.

This year he leads the celebration of the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. as it's Chairman. This day is offen called Martin Luther King Day and is on Monday January 16, 2006 at the Cincinnati Music Hall for a free concert starting at noon.

The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr, Ph.D. (January 15, 1929 Â April 4, 1968) was a Baptist minister and political activist who was the most famous leader of the American civil rights movement. King won the Nobel Peace Prize and Presidential Medal of Freedom before being assassinated in 1968. For his promotion of non-violence and racial equality, King is considered a peacemaker and martyr by many people around the world. Martin Luther King Day was established in his honor.

We have established Cincinnati Change to adhere to many of the principles that he stood for.

Besides winning the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, in 1965 the American Jewish Committee presented the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with the American Liberties Medallion for his "exceptional advancement of the principles of human liberty." Reverend King said in his acceptance remarks, "Freedom is one thing. You have it all or you are not free."r King Jr.,

Martin Luther king was aregisteredd Republican and may have supported affirmative action.

Among his comments:

"Whenever this issue [compensatory treatment] is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree, but should ask for nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the first would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up."

"A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis. "

"... for two centuries the Negro was enslaved and robbed of any wages and potential accrued wealth which would have been the legacy of his descendants. All of America's wealth today could not adequately compensate its Negroes for his centuries of exploitation and humiliation. It is an economic fact that a program such as I propose would certainly cost far less than any computation of two centuries of unpaid wages plus accumulated interest. In any case, I do not intend that this program of economic aid should apply only to the Negro: it should benefit the disadvantaged of all races."

"You can't talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can't talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You're really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry.... Now this means that we are treading in difficult water...."

On April 3, 1968, King prophetically told a euphoric crowd:

"It really doesn't matter what happens now.... some began to... talk about the threats that were out -- what would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers.... Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land. And so I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."

King was assassinated the next evening, April 4, 1968, at 6:01 PM, on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, while preparing to lead a local march in support of the heavily black Memphis sanitation workers' union which was on strike at the time.

Over the next 5 years Queen City Development Group will create in the south over 2,000 acres of real estate developments that will serve as relief centers, under contracts, for a million people by 2010 with 1,000 Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana businesses lead by Fred Hargrove P.E., MBA whose Engineering Company is taking the point in a joint venture that will tread in thdangerousus waters of rebuilding the south and being ready when this happens again.

Uptown Security in the Nati

2006-01-10T22:38:00.000-05:00

The city of Cincinnati has the resources to do waht we all want Peace in the Hood but we must bring Jobs in the Hood, so the only question is how do we them. People should read the Cincinnati Police Department’s (CPD) Strategic Plan, this document defines the five-year plan for keeoping our streets safe. It is not the finial word, the muni code is. It says we can create our own police and help our employees keep our streets safe. This only happens after we decide what type of streets we want.

We will celebrate the birth of Martin Luther King Jr. where he would have been 77 years old this Sunday, January 15, 2006. Join us at Music hall on monday at 11:30 to not only honnor Martin Luther King but to continue defining waht we want.

Cincinnati Change has a plan but we need input and partners.

In 2001, the founders of Cincinnati Change submitted a request to the Cincinnati Empowerment Corporation (CEC) that they set out procedures to issue $100M of revenue bonds. The request was updated in 2002 and again in 2003. In 2004, the CEC set the procedures to issue the bonds through the Cincinnati Hamilton County Port Authority.

In 2005, Cincinnati Change assembled a team to meet its organizational objectives through creation of a mutual fund to fund its mission to Change Cincinnati NOW. On June 19th, 2005 Cincinnati Change received its charter from the State of Ohio and stands ready to change Cincinnati NOW.

On 16 January 2006 Cincinnati Change is creating a limited liability company called Queen City Development Group to develop businesses in the Nati, one of which will be Uptown Security, this site.

Remember public saftey is the issue we pay over 120M a year for, we can ask questions - we own the city and are CPD’s ultimate bosses.

Our Action On Crime

2006-01-06T15:09:00.000-05:00

The Peace Bell is a symbol, nuff said.

Lets talk about action. It’s a new year and lets get down with the new City Council. They got right down to business right away on the budget. They passed a budget and set the stage for a consensus to develop on how we define public safety.

We would go about achieving it when City Council Law & Public Safety Committee reviewed the shooting incident that occurred on Christmas Eve, in depth. This is after the CCA does it’s jon and we have a ruling from Dr. O. Who shot who?

Remember public saftey is the issue we pay over 120M a year for, we can ask questions - we own the city. Before anyone has a problem with what we say you should know one of us wrote the OPTA training manual and started for a College in Ohio their Criminal Justice course.

This incident in Roselawn which resulted in the death of one 19 year old Chanel Jordan, who was coming to pick her brother up, fact or fiction. Lets put it in the Blog on uptown security - here.

Cincinnati Change and partners will create dances for teens starting in April at our 20,000 sq. ft. building.

Cincinnati Councilman Cecil Thomas, chair of the Committee, has said it was a productive meeting, but now a holistic approach is needed to attack the problem, with council, police and parents working together. A number of community members spoke about the violence in the community and the need to take action against the problem. Cincinnati Change has declared 2006 as the year of Peace In the Hood along with Jobs in the Hood.

What that means is that we are bringing 100 Cincinnati Change Agents together to do teen dances by April. At these dances we will address the racial division in the city. Join us in this. We need all the help we can get. Goto to web site and give us the word on what you want to change in Cincinnati.

In 2005 racial division has not been reduced under previous leadership, but we have hope for 2006. We still had to much disconnect between the African American and poor in Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Police Department even with the Department of Justice Memorandum of Understanding (DOJ) and the Collaborative Agreement (CA). The Big story is the change in leadership of the FOP and the coming together of the African American community around the issue race and crime.

The image of police officers and the city as a whole is still recovering from race riots that erupted in April 2001, following the shooting death of an unarmed black man who ran from a white police officer trying and subsequent police slow down. The perception that emerged has been said to have embarrassed Specialist Kathy Harrell, the first woman elected president of Queen City Lodge No. 69 of the Fraternal Order of Police.

“The whole city got a black eye from it,” she said in an interview. “But did we grow from it? Yes. Have we proven we’re still an excellent city? Yes. Are there concerns that have to be dealt with? Definitely.” We hope to work with her and other interested parties who believe that we can have Peace in the Hood along with Jobs in the Hood.

We will create those jobs based on the construction of new buildings and the rehab of other buildings we own.

Cincinnati Change will become supportive of creating in Cincinnati a worldwide arts and cultural amenities infrastructure that is a tourism destination managed by an African American owned and managed company. It would also support the creation of a comprehensive human and social services infrastructure for all Cincinnati’s citizens through established programs along with the creation of a new unified command and control agency for the residents of the city to be called The Nati Action Agency.

In 2005 Cincinnati Change bought interest in it’s headquarters at 2439 Auburn Avenue in preparation for starting operations in February 2006. Cincinnati Change believes that the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored by each other and those who we elect.

Cincinnati Change believes in the equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability, including, if needed, timed affirmative action. Cincinnati Change believes in free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity through creating content for the third frontier - join us, help us change Cincinnati NOW.

US Security

2005-12-17T14:18:00.000-05:00

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Saturday (17 Jan 2005) he has no intention of stopping his personal authorizations of a post-Sept. 11 secret eavesdropping program in the U.S., lashing out at those involved in revealing it while defending it as crucial to preventing future attacks. "This is a highly classified program that is crucial to our national security,"

"The authorization I gave the National Security Agency after September the 11th helped address that problem in a way that is fully consistent with my constitutional responsibilities and authorities. The activities I have authorized make it more likely that killers like these 9/11 hijackers will be identified and located in time. And the activities conducted under this authorization have helped detect and prevent possible terrorist attacks in the United States and abroad."

"The activities I authorized are reviewed approximately every 45 days. Each review is based on a fresh intelligence assessment of terrorist threats to the continuity of our government and the threat of catastrophic damage to our homeland. During each assessment, previous activities under the authorization are reviewed. The review includes approval by our nation's top legal officials, including the Attorney General and the Counsel to the President. I have reauthorized this program more than 30 times since the September the 11th attacks, and I intend to do so for as long as our nation faces a continuing threat from al Qaeda and related groups. "

"The NSA's activities under this authorization are thoroughly reviewed by the Justice Department and NSA's top legal officials, including NSA's general counsel and inspector general. Leaders in Congress have been briefed more than a dozen times on this authorization and the activities conducted under it. Intelligence officials involved in this activity also receive extensive training to ensure they perform their duties consistent with the letter and intent of the authorization. "

"This authorization is a vital tool in our war against the terrorists. It is critical to saving American lives. The American people expect me to do everything in my power under our laws and Constitution to protect them and their civil liberties. And that is exactly what I will continue to do, so long as I'm the President of the United States. "

A Proclamation by the Chairman of Cincinnati Change.

On this day we celebrate those who, like ourselves, have devoted themselves to one of the great missions in our country's history – global democracy and freedom. We at Cincinnati Change honor the courage of a generation of Americans working to create safe communities and stand ready to support other Americans in need like those storm victims in the South.

We believe that the Administration took steps to prepare for Hurricane Wilma & Rita. Those preparations, at all levels of government, proved woefully inadequate for over 100,000 Americans still in need. Although the steps were consistent with long established pre-landfall preparations for a storm of this size, it should have been able to do more.

The primary difference between Wilma and Katrina storm preparations is a renewed effort to make relief coordination at all levels of government as seamless as possible. As a response to a FEMA Request for Proposal (RFP), we will create the solution for FEMA by December 30, 2005. The lifeblood of emergency operations is effective communications. In 2006, we will demonstrate in Cincinnati, Ohio and Port Arthur, Texas solutions that support a emergency interagency response program that will serve to protect and serve over 3 million Americans in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

Lloyd Daniels Development Group, Inc. and it’s partners Cincinnati Change, Hargrove Engineering, Lloyds General and Electrical Contractors, LDGjCOMM, HS/ATA and other partners will develop a technology collaborative which will provide all levels of government and its citizens with access to help provided under the authority of the President of the United States. We have initiated a blog to detail these efforts. We will care for the 100,000 Americans in need.

Airport Security

2005-12-08T04:26:00.000-05:00

We support airport security like that in Europe, and Israel. These security talks to every passenger. They ask about what you did in their city, or about where you are going. If you talk about museums, restaurants, plays, family, etc., then all is fine. If you mumble a bunch of nothing, you get searched.

Unlike our system, when you go through airport security you are met with trained security officer. You tend to like the nice young man or woman who commented (they always with open ended questions) that they heard about the "special exhibit" at the museum. Which painting was your favorite? He also likes restaurants, did you find a good one? If you don't know or are unsure, you get searched.

In doing this we will profile passengers. Under this plan security agents classify travelers by race, nationality, gender, and so on, and ask each a set of questions, carefully watching responses. In some cases, agents would be required to separate companions and question each one alone, looking for conflicting stories. we must have a system that before check-in allows security agents to screen tickets and passports for details that raise red flags, such as cash payments or visas from certain countries.

In either case you are watched. In general it will generate better PR and better security. Lets find out how much this will cost at Northern Kentucky International Airport. It will set us apart and be part of our comprehensive regional plan.

REMEMBER NO MATTER HOW WE GOT THERE WE ARE AT WAR

Cincinnati Change Proclamation on December 7th as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

2005-12-07T23:33:00.000-05:00

National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, 2005

A Proclamation by the Chairman of Cincinnati Change. On this day we celebrate a national remembrance for those lost on December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor. We at Cincinnati Change honor the courage of a generation of Americans who devoted themselves to one of the great missions in our country's history – global democracy and freedom.

After the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor took more than 2,400 American lives, millions of our citizens answered the call to defend our liberty, and the world witnessed the power of freedom to overcome tyranny.

During this global fight for survival America's ultimate triumph was far from clear in the early days of World War II. When our country was attacked at Pearl Harbor as in Asia and Europe, country after country had fallen before the armies of militaristic tyrants. However, the brave and determined men and women of our Nation maintained their faith in the power of God to support our freedom and spread democracy.

They fought and won a world war against two of the most ruthless regimes the world has ever known. In the years since those victories, the power of freedom and democracy has transformed America's enemies in World War II into close friends. This is the greatness of America the ability to reach out it's hand in friendship to those who are our today our enimies as our friends tomorrow. Witness Japan and Germany.

Cincinnati Change is dedicated to the spread freedom and democracy around the world. We are a organization dedicated to secure a more peaceful world for our children and grandchildren. We are grateful to the men and women who are defending our flag and our freedom in the first war of the 21st century. We look forward to the days of peace like our forefathers have done in the past.

These patriots are protecting our country and our way of life by upholding the tradition of honor, bravery, and integrity demonstrated by those who fought for our Nation in World War II and that is continued to this day by our military.

The Congress, by Public Law 103-308, as amended, has designated December 7 of each year as "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day." The service and sacrifice of our World War II veterans continue to inspire people across our country and set an example of sacrifice. Cincinnati Change remains deeply grateful for all that these heroes have done for the cause of freedom.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this Seventh Day of December , in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the two hundred and thirtieth year in the Independence of the United States of America.

A new start on Public Saftey 1 December 2005

2005-12-02T16:45:00.000-05:00

Mayor and City Council in Cincinnati

Our plan is based on this speech by the new mayor for development in the Nati.

Good Evening Cincinnati.
I want to thank everyone for joining me here at the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal this evening to share this momentous occasion.

I want to start by thanking the people of Cincinnati for placing their trust in me to be their Mayor. I am honored and humbled by that trust and I will work hard to make you proud.

I would also like to thank (the categories on the back of the program).

I want to thank my staff.
And, I want to thank the countless volunteers who devoted so much of their time to our efforts to bring change to the city. I would not be here today without them.

Finally, I would like to thank my wonderful family for their support and sacrifice throughout the exhausting campaign. My entire family has been dedicated to public service, and they serve as my inspiration for all that I do.

The city of Cincinnati was named after the Society of the Cincinnati, a fellowship organization for Army officers. However, the top priority of the society was to take care of the members of the society and their families.

Their motto was “He abandons everything to serve his country.” Thus our city is founded on the ideals of taking care of each other and selfless service to the city.
I believe that these founding principles should serve as the basis for how we conduct our everyday lives.

Over the last year, as I visited every neighborhood in this City, I was always impressed by the sense of hope around the city.

Everywhere, people would share their feeling that things needed to get better, and how they truly believed things would get better.

The fantastic thing about living in a democracy is that citizens are able to let their opinions be heard and make changes if they think that we can do better.

Elections are an excellent opportunity to start fresh and set a new course for our city. On Election Day, Cincinnati called for a change in the way that business is done in our city.

The citizens selected four new City Council Members and elected me the first Mayor not to come from Council since the 1930s.
We have the opportunity to have the fresh start that our city has desperately needed for a while. We have the opportunity to turn away from our past and chart a course for a new future.

This is a great city. We need to seize this unique opportunity for a fresh start and recommit ourselves to the founding principles of our city: taking care of each other and selfless service to the city.

We have the power and ability to create the change that we all know our city needs.

We share that sense that we are all part of the same brotherhood. In order to make that feeling of brotherhood stronger, we need to focus on the issues that unite us as one Cincinnati.

The desire for nice, safe neighborhoods.
The desire for good schools and opportunities for our children.
The desire for good jobs with quality benefits
The desire for a vibrant city where we can all have fun.

If we focus on these issues of commonality, it will allow us to put aside our lesser differences and work together to improve our city for everybody.

I believe that we have all felt the enthusiasm in the community. There is a sense that we are about to turn a corner and once again move forward.

People are optimistic that the time is right for a major change in this city. People are ready for that change and they believe that it can and will happen.

I share this belief. I think that in the next few years, we have an incredible opportunity to transform our city for the better and set in motion the type of progress that will once again make Cincinnati a city that is admired across the country.

But, we cannot passively sit and wait for change, we must control our destiny. If we truly want to see change then we must actively make that change happen.

Our city has taken the first step. We have elected an excellent group of talented and motivated Council Members to help us take begin down the road of change.

From my discussions with the Council Members, I can tell you that they are deeply committed to doing what is necessary to turn this city around.

Now we must turn this positive energy and commitments into accomplishments.

Change is sometimes difficult but it is absolutely necessary. This Administration will make decisions that are in the best interest of the common good.

We must seize the opportunity that we have been given a make a fresh start. It is only through our hard work that we can make that change happen.

I am dedicated to creating a team on City Council that will come together to put the best interest of the city ahead of all else. The common element that unites all of the Council Members is that we love our city and we want very badly to make it better. Much better.

Now, I would like to recognize our next City Council.
Vice Mayor Jim Tarbell
Jeff Berding
Chris Bortz
Laketa Cole
John Cranley
David Crowley
Leslie Ghiz
Chris Monzel
Cecil Thomas

This leadership team you have entrusted to turn our city around. We are going to capitalize on the energy in this room and across the city and make the necessary changes to turn our city around and make it better.

You are looking at the future of the City of Cincinnati. I am completely confident that this team will do great things for all of us in the city of Cincinnati.

But we cannot do it along. You, the citizens of Cincinnati, are part of this team as well. If we are going to truly change our city for the better, we need your help as well. We can only make this city better if we work as a team, from the Mayor’s Office all the way down to very last citizen. All working to move the city forward.

So, I want to make a challenge to you. My challenge is to get involved and be an ambassador to the city.

You must ask yourself…
What are you going to do to turn Cincinnati around?
What are you going to do to make our city better?

We are on the verge of a great turn around in the City. By working together as a team, Mayor to Council to the city departments to the neighborhoods, and not letting anything get in our way, we can create the type of change and improvement that we all know that Cincinnati is ready for.

The 10 of us standing in front of you will work hard for you everyday. I ask you to commit yourself to also working hard. Together, I know that Cincinnati will live up to its amazing potential and become the city that our country looks up to once again.

I want to thank you all for coming. Good night and God Bless Our City
