WRITE-IN RON JOHNSON FOR MAYOR OF FERGUSON!!!
It is time to set up voter registration booths in Ferguson, MO. Even after dark, some of those folks circulating can be carrying clipboards.
I don’t care if it is too late for this election, they can also identify already registered voters as they sign up new ones, and get them to turn some of that righteous indignation into voter activism.
The voting history of Ferguson is typically abysmal… The entire white City Council and Mayor ran unopposed last time around, despite a 60% black and otherwise ethnically diverse majority.
LESS THAN 10% TURNOUT!!! Which is no doubt because they feel totally disconnected from the process.
The cycle of futility these people feel is not uncommon anywhere in America, there are so many Americans who have been bullied out of the process by those already entrenched, and Ferguson represents the worst form of it.
TURN THIS RAGE INTO VOTES!
If it is true that Ron Johnson is a legal resident of Ferguson, then they need to start a write-in campaign to get him elected Mayor, and that would begin to topple the all-white house of cards these posers have imposed upon the people of Ferguson.
Just the sordid history of how that City Council and police force have used traffic stops of mostly blacks to generate almost HALF the city revenues should in itself be worthy of intense investigation, and suggests there may be more skeletons dancing in those closets than anyone ever imagined.
That entrenched status quo at the top of city government obviously got very comfortable violating the rights of their own citizens for fun and profit, and those records are hard to erase. When they decided to use the citizens of Ferguson as a stop-and-ticket cash cow, they probably never imagined they’d be subject to the white-hot media microscope they now suffer scrutiny under.
Holder also needs to get a Federal Judge to order Ferguson to protect those records from destruction, because simple logic dictates, as the scrutiny begins to come down on this little village, the miscreants who have managed it for decades may grow desperate to cover their tracks.
I’d bet the shredders are already humming at the Ferguson City Building.

File this one with Obama’s terrorist fist jab. For the commenters who asked the other day what was wrong with Ferguson hiring an all-white PR firm: There are limits to the knowledge and experience of upper-middle-class white people. The world they inhabit is not the whole world.

This man is amazing. Plucked from the background by fearful, ineffectual leaders, he seems to be a tireless advocate for the kind of fair, reasonable leadership sorely lacking in metro St. Louis. So it is totally in keeping with the snide misrule that still dominates Enchanted Forest America that this upstanding man should be smeared from the shadows.

They are registering voters and the Brietbots are upset about it.
If they’re going to write in a candidate it should be Alderman Antonio French who has done more than anybody in Ferguson to keep the lid on this powder keg from blowing sky high.
