Fellow Citizens:

 

Achieving constitutional justice in America isn't easy, but with your help, we will be one step closer. The unemployment rates across the country are staggering for people of African American descent. In almost every City in the United States of America, the unemployment rate for African Americans are almost doubled the national average. We need to hold every employer accountable to the following mandate as outlined in the United States Declaration of Independance, "We hold these truths to be Self-Evident, that All Men Are Created Equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, with certain Unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Ask yourself, if all men are created equal, how do disparities exist? "We the People..." expect equality!!!

 

"Our Success Is Influenced By Your Actions (DLF)"

 

Your community servant,

 

Derrick L. Foward
