Now that I’ve been clicking around MySpace for over a year now and I’m no longer a “newbie” to the scene, I can truly say that my respect and appreciation for this social infrastructure have grown. This very complex system has a veil of user-friendliness that enables us to connect and network with greater ease. If this isn’t your first time to my page, then you know that I am constantly encouraging my staff to come up with fresh, creative ideas to make my page more interactive so that I can truly connect with everybody. With that said, please be on the lookout for a few dynamic profile changes that are on the horizon. Whatever changes may come, you can rest assured that they will be made in accordance with our main objective: to enlighten, encourage, and empower…each other! After all, we must work tirelessly to edify one another while we aim the guns of accountability at the decision makers that have navigated the course of our nation thus far. If we are to change our course for the better to avoid economic collapse and environmental calamity, then it is our duty to hold accountable .

Well, you are probably already aware of my stance on civic duty and accountability, so I’d like to shift gears and once again share a bit of personal information so that we can communicate on a deeper level. I’m now in my 40s and more focused than ever before. I am a hard worker and I have so many projects going on that sometimes I tend to get lost in them. When the time comes, I do want to settle down, but I am trying to do my small part to change the world, and I need a little more time! I travel almost every weekend, giving speeches, participating in forums, and doing work with my Foundation for young people. I may throw in a vacation every now and then. I work out daily and try to eat healthy. I love to run...great stress reliever…and I’m not too shabby at basketball either! I play Scrabble a lot. I love music (from Jill Scott to Talib Kweli to John Coltrane), and I enjoy live performances. I am passionate about learning, about expanding my outlook on life, and about humbly spreading my knowledge around to as many folks as possible. That’s me in a fortune cookie, and as much as I talk, I wish I had more to say. I look forward to dialoguing with as many of you as possible. Your comments of encouragement and personal messages of empowerment refuel me daily. Although I can’t respond to every comment or message, I receive them all with warmth and genuine interest. Please keep them coming! Enjoy the page and make sure to stay current on my upcoming projects so you can get involved.

Keep the Faith!

Announcement Please Read & Decide Your Future~!
Health Care Insurance Coverage.
I Watched C-SPAN the voting process and did not like what I heard and seen.
I did not hear the Democrats saying that the fines were not true, that will be forced, made mandated to pay for the health care.
I am happy to hear that we will have available Health Care Insurance Coverage for everyone.
Sad to hear that everyone will be made to pay what is told to be paid In addition, if we do not paid what is forced, made mandated to pay for the health care? We will be fined, and if we do not pay the fines, we will be put in jail.
There are many people all over the world without jobs, and many people With jobs that cannot afford to pay those high health care premium. Example
$ 200.00 a month and up. The people in the white house can afford to pay, us people that are struggling to make ends meet cannot afford to pay what they do?
You either pay the high cost premium or you do not have the Health Care Insurance Coverage.
Well I do not see this problem being solved with putting more Fines on the people when they are having enough problem with staying alive In addition, trying to pay all our other expenses when we do not have the money to do that.
The only way I can see that this will solve our Health Care Insurance Coverage. Is that the Insurance premium will be very low that the people Can afford to pay without letting all their other expense go like eating, a place To stay, etc.
That is depleting the purpose of getting health care insurance for everyone If you are in jail with out standing fines how in the world do you think that Is going to help all those that has been sentence to pay money they did not have in the first place. Those that are sentence will still be without coverage.
Plus adding debts on top of their other debts. That was forced on them bec

TOM JOYNER'S MORNING SHOW
     
Tom Joyner wants this information to reach his listeners.. You have probably heard of 'NUD' as a result of the Tom Joyner morning show related to Comp USA . NUD (Non Urban Dictate) is the acronym for a very subtle and litt le-known marketing term specifically directed toward people of color.
'Non Urban Dictate' These three words essentially mean that a company is not interested in the Black consumer. A NUD label means that a company does not want their marketing and advertising materials placed in media that claim an urban audience (black folks) as their main target. There are legitimate reasons for companies not using urban radio. It may be that Blacks don't index high in certain categories or that a company's strategy is to market to the Black consumer down the road after they have established a strong position in their primary target. But, NUD usually means that a company is not interested in the Black consumer. Companies evade discrimination liability by embracing it as theory rather than policy. As a service to Black consumers, the Urban Institute will list all companies that have a NUD policy. Armed with this information, we feel that Black consumers will be able to make informed buying decisions.

Here's a list of Companies with NUD policies:
1. Starbucks
2. Jos. A Bank
3. Comp USA
4. Weight Watchers
5. Keebler
6. Life Savers
7. Continental Airlines
8. Northwest Airlines
9. America West Airlines
10. HBO - Apollo Series
11. Paternal Importers
12 Calico Corners
13. OMScot
14. Pepperidge Farms
15. Ethan Allen
16. Busy Body Fitness
17. Mondovi Wines
18. Builders20Square
19. Pottery Barn
20. Lexus
21. Aruba Tourism
22. Ciba Vision

Hi Tavis Smiley,

How are you doing? I just wanted to send a humble reminder that the national bestselling Christian book, Carnal Striving Spiritual, is available for secure purchase from my Myspace page, which has links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and my official website.

The already acclaimed book has been critically reviewed as one of the best Christian books of 2009. Dr. Cornel West, America's most prestigious scholar, calls the book "brilliant and with a bold message." Bishop Hilliard, one of the nation's most prominent pastors, says that the book begs the attention of the reader.

Your support is not about me, it's about you and supporting the Kingdom. Thanks.

Anthony Jerrod
