Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog

Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

Republicans are all for law enforcement but refuse to finance law enforcement

If you know anything about the Coatesville PD you that a lot of federal funding has dried up. Republicans don't just cut back on food stamps and education. The Republicans cut back on law enforcement across the board. 

Hey, the fat cat wealthy guys that line Republican pockets with gold can afford their own private police forces, fugget about it.

Republicans effectively defunded the: 

"Results indicate that participants this year dropped by 25 percent from participants of the 2010 National Drug Threat Survey (NDTS). One reason for the decrease in participation stems from the fact that mechanisms for previous data collections were defunded. Another contributing factor lies in the decline in resources due to the fiscal sequestration of the US Government. Restraints on government resources adversely affect every level of law enforcement, largely by creating shortages in manpower and thereby limiting data collection efforts and reporting abilities."


Coatesville is a Democratic City. Unlike Ferguson, Missouri we have black representation. In Chester County black representation stops at the city line. Repub. Terence Farrell doesn't count as black representation.

Republicans allegedly put lots of in cash street money into Coatesville elections. People have allegedly been paid $20.00 in cash and told who to vote for on election day, like it’s an ordinary thing in a local municipal election where 1 vote makes a big difference. In Republican Chester County low voter turnout is encouraged so that the Republican base dominates elections. Those kinds of elections that are often decided by 1 vote. 

Incidentally, the Democrats for Harry Lewis sign men are paid. They will not do it for free. 

Some things jumped out at me in this article:
“Municipal elections have far lower voter turnout than national elections. The most likely explanation is that politically motivated parties have kept some elections off cycle to bolster their political power.
AND
“There are also important effects on turnout. Amir Fairdosi and Jon Rogowksi found that a black Democratic candidate on the ballot in a midterm boosts black turnout. (There is not an equivalent boost for a black Republican.) Lawrence Bobo and Franklin Gilliam found that in areas with high levels of black political empowerment, such as having a black mayor, black political participation is higher."
AND
‘Old boys’ club’ 
"When citizens lack descriptive representation, as most blacks do, they do not trust their representatives. Some 44 percent of Americans surveyed said that “an old boys’ club” is the best description of our representatives, with only 7 percent saying they are “the best and brightest.” That means the next Ferguson is just around the corner: When a crisis happens, unrepresentative local governments will struggle to retain legitimacy. Even without crisis, vital needs of the community will remain unaddressed by a government that seems unresponsive and aloof."

NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY JIM CROW THREAT "INTERSTATE CROSSCHECK PROGRAM"

JIM CROW RETURNS 
MILLIONS OF MINORITIES THREATENED BY ELECTORAL PURGE
Former Republican Chester County Commissioner now Secretary of State Carol Aichele administers Pennsylvania's CROSS CHECK PROGRAM.  

It’s Jim Crow all over again," says the Rev. Joseph Lowery, who cofounded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Martin Luther King, Jr. Lowery, now 93, says he recognizes in the list of threatened voters a sophisticated new form of an old and tired tactic. “I think [the Republicans] would use anything they can find. Their desperation is rising.”



In 2008 Carol Aichele and Terence Farrell got together to block black voters in  Chester County by moving the Lower Oxford polling place from Lincoln University to a tiny building.  Terrence Farrell voted in Lower Oxford. Without his participation the polling place could not have been moved.  The reason he gave for moving the polling place from Lincoln University was that a white woman in Lower Oxford did not feel safe at Lincoln University.

In case you are not aware, Terrence Farrell is a black Republican

Back in 2008 Chester County Republican election strategy was to keep students at Lincoln University from voting for Barack Obama. Carol Aichele voted along with Terrence Farrell to make the polling place change from Lincoln University to a tiny building in Lower Oxford effective.

"In predominantly white Chester County, Pa., Lower Oxford East Township contains the largest concentration of African-American voters, largely because of Lincoln University, one of the oldest historically African-American universities in the country.

The township made national news following the 2008 presidential election, when some voters were forced to wait literally all day in pouring rain in order to vote. Many voters had to leave without casting their votes, disenfranchised by inadequate polling facilities. Despite numerous warnings before the election that the cramped polling place would cause problems, the County Board of Elections had refused to change the location of the polling place – a tiny community center that could accommodate only two lines of voters, a small number of privacy booths, and a single ballot scanner. And even after the 2008 fiasco, the Board of Elections rejected a petition to move the polling place to the campus of Lincoln University, where it had previously been located for years.”

It’s the direction the Republican Party chose to go. When you run with the sharks you get bit. 
“In the Spring of 2010, Kelso married a woman, Linda Falla, who posted as ‘Sigrid’ and served as a senior moderator of White News Now. The couple share the same racist views. Kelso’s wife has posted statements on White News Now such as, ‘blacks hate most things that they can't relate to, even on the most basic level’ and ‘Jews have always been extortionists, since the dawn of time.’ In a July 2010 interview with another prominent racist, Kelso reflected on the perks of a white nationalist marriage saying: ‘a white patriot marriage has this entire additional layer which gives resilience to the marriage … the wife isn’t looking at the husband like a cash cow, she’s looking at him going, you know, he’s got great genes.”

Racist Skinhead Steve Smith posted:


In March 23, 2003, Smith was one of the three members of Keystone State "Skinheads" that attempted to assault a black man who was simply walking down a street in Scranton, PA. The three approached him while holding bricks in their hands and asked him if he had ever been "beat up by a skinhead." As the man ran away and called police with his cellular phone, the three drove by and threw a brick at him while yelling racial slurs. How did they get caught? Simple. They decided to stick around until the cops came. Keith Carney, who was on probation at the time, could not get out of jail on the high bond they posted on him, but Steve Monteforte and Smith had their people pony up for them and they managed to stay free. In the end, he still had to do some time though.

Where were you in 62? Back when there was this thing called “The American Dream”.


It was back when there were Eisenhower Republicans. 

And those Eisenhower Republicans were doctors who knew you from the day you were born and came to your house and knew all your Aunts and Uncles and cousins. 

And those Eisenhower Republicans paid their taxes.

And those Eisenhower Republicans called paying taxes patriotism. 

It was back when a steelworker could expect to work and be paid enough to raise a family, own a car and go on a family vacation each year at the Poconos or the Jersey Shore. 

It was back when a steelworker could expect that his children would have a shot at being a doctor or engineer and could live a better life than he did. 



And then Republicans took "Eisenhower" away. 

And they made it "Reagan Republicans".

And Reagan Republicans hated paying taxes 

And Reagan Republicans hated our government. 

And Reagan Republicans changed   
"The American Dream"

They put a monster at the end:

Is Chester County, "TRUE DETECTIVE" Louisiana With Fox Hunters? Cuyler Walker is part of that world.





It's not likely that something like what is portrayed in True Detective happened in Chester County in our time. 

Even the actual events that inspired True Detective were not much like the HBO series. 

True Detective is one of the best stories and the best acting I have ever seen in any medium.  

I know some of the stories here in Chester County that people don't want to talk about. I knew two people that watched Zack Walker burning just outside of Coatesville in 1911. One man's face was red from anger and in a rage when he told me someone that I knew pushed Zack Walker back into the fire. He carried that rage a very long time. Memory can keep forgiveness at bay. 

People can do terrible things. I can sort of identify.  I can relate to "True Detective". 

The sordid stories, the things we do to each other cut across social, ethnic and financial groups. 

The graceful beauty of horses, riders wearing red suits across rolling green fields make a pretty picture, but there can be something ugly hidden from view.

There is ugly and beauty, darkness and light within all of us. In True Detective,  Matthew McConaughey’s character, Rust Cohe says;  “The world needs bad men. We keep other bad men from the door.” 


The Sheriff in the town that inspired the True Detective story said they came on the crime when a preacher at a local church came in and confessed about the youth room upstairs with blacked out windows where they had satanic rituals. Without the preacher’s confession it would just be another little church in town. The Sheriff and most people in the town didn’t believe anything like that could happen. 

But he said the reason the crime was discovered was the confession of the preacher. Without that it would never have been discovered.  He wonders what else might be out there.


There is a Vice video about the actual investigation:




Most people who grew up in Chester County and the Main Line area probably have some connection with Chester County old wealth. I knew a man who was of the Main Line wealthy. When he visited certain other Main Line wealthy family members he went well armed.  I was not at all surprised when I heard of John DuPont’s murder of Dave Schultz. 




People bond together to protect their own. It’s how we survived and prospered on earth. 

Sometimes stuff  happens in families that they want to keep quiet. Wealthy people are no different than anyone else.  But wealthy people can be isolated in a different world. 

Wealth and power can help to hide strange stuff but when you enter politics in the U.S. it’s fair game to look through windows to see what’s happening. 

Cuyler Walker is part of that world. 

Most wealthy people are as ordinary as anyone you know and I believe that ordinary people are inclined to be kind and naturally want to help others. 

And here in Chester County the old wealth comes from Quaker families. 

Quakers believe it is their Christian duty to help others, that we are all brothers and sisters.  Their ancestors helped run the Underground Railroad during the slavery days. Their ancestors were Abolitionists. 

All of us owe a debt to those Chester County Quakers and the Republican Party for ending slavery in the United States. 

You might not think so but black people in Coatesville know some history of the wealthy people in Chester County. 

There were blacksmiths who took care of the fox hunting horses. 

They were nursemaids of their children. Many of those children are grown up with their own children. 

If you want to know about Cuyler Walker go to a black hairdresser in Chester County on a Thursday. Thursday is “maids day off”.

Cuyler is the nephew of Nancy Hannum and Judge John Hannum.  Walker is the same Walker in George Walker Bush’s name.

He resigned as the GOP candidate for the 158th State Legislative District kind of at the last minute.  

His name has been removed from the website of the Pepper Hamilton law firm, where he was a partner.

The Upland School allegedly removed him from the board of directors of Upland.  

There was talk that a Finnish exchange student was not allowed to stay at Walker’s house.

Walker’s wife allegedly moved out.


Some older black people here say the something bad happened to Cuyler when he was a boy. They say it involved some men who worked in the stables. 

They say his mother moved him and his brother to a live in boarding school. 

That Cuyler’s brother committed suicide. 

Moving up to present day. Some of those old black people don't understand why Cuyler’s wife put Cuyler’s children into a boarding school. They say Cuyler’s wife said that her husband hated spending so much of his life away at the boarding school and she wouldn't do that to Cuyler’s children. 

They had that nice Rolling Plains house all fixed up with the latest stuff. It's easy to clean. There's a place to put everything away. His wife allegedly took her children and moved out of that nice house. 

I don't know what will happen. But I'm sure that nothing official will happen before Election Day November 4th. 


Most Chester County judges are friends with or family members of Cuyler Walker. 

Most Federal Judges in the United States District Court Eastern District of Pennsylvania are friends of or relatives of Cuyler Walker. 


I had some personal experience with a child molester. It’s part of the reason that I moved away from our home in Montgomery County. He is a big guy. Ex-Marine and wrestler. With a history of arrests for assaults. 

I was on to him. 

He got away with things that would put most people in jail. Some influential people in the local government "protected" him. 

He’s been in prison. Back out of prison and working as a custodian at local parks. 

Nice job for a pedophile, don’t you think?

He’s back in prison now. He should stay there. 
Another quote from True Detective: 
“There is no such thing as forgiveness. People just have short memories.” – Rust Cohle 
Source: http://rustcohle.com/rust-cohle-quote-thing-forgiveness/
I don’t know.  Maybe it’s still in there and a sound or a smell can awaken that memory. 
You can watch Cuyler Walker talk about “family values”, “Christian values”, and “compassion for the protection of life”.

On "Hardball" Chris Matthews talks about the moderate GOP in Chester County. HAH!

THE NEW CROP OF CHESTER COUNTY REPUBLICANS ARE EXTREMISTS
We had moderate Republicans here in the 1950 and into the 1980s. Moderate Republicans and moderate Mafia style Teddy Rubino Republicans. Rubino was the CCRC Chair and Chester County Commissioner.
Recent Republican Party history: 
During Mr. Rubino's tenure, party candidates were selected by a show of hands, and Mr. Rubino sat at the podium overlooking his flock, noting who did not vote his way. If someone bucked the system, it was widely understood that a relative or in-law holding a county patronage job might find himself suddenly unemployed...
Then, in 1977, Mr. Rubino pleaded guilty to having extorted $6,400 from architects who were awarded a $130,000 contract to convert a former West Chester hospital into a county government annex…He ultimately served 4 1/2 months of a six- month sentence in a federal penitentiary, and he was ordered to do community-service work at the Coatesville Veterans Administration Hospital upon his release. As part of Mr. Rubino's plea agreement, prosecutors read into the record statements that the FBI had taken from businessmen and politicians who had dealt with Mr. Rubino. They indicated that he had established set prices for those doing business with the county, ranging from milk supplies to the leases on court offices. Some of the money went to the county GOP.”

A group of “Reform Republicans” tried to change the organized crime and political patronage tendencies of the Republican Party back when Theodore Rubino was convicted and sentenced. They had some success but fizzled out.

Most of the moderate Republicans have died off. There are few left at the top of the CCRC but they're getting old. 
No matter what they call each other the  younger Republicans in Chester County are extremists. The kind of “splinter group” Republicans that President Eisenhower said could never come into power:
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

Election PA 74th Legislative District Maxwell-Lewis BACK AT FONZI’S MAN CAVE

“Now let me figure this out. Because sometimes black play black. I'll vote for him, even if it hurts myself. Now that’s ridiculous. I'm insulted. African Americans aren't and shouldn't be like that. We shouldn't vote color. Let’s get out of that archaic thinking…”

“See, one thing you gotta give people credit for loyalty. Take for instance. Last year around August, July - August, that’s when Mr. Richard Como and Mr. Donato, they got caught using the N word rather frequently and freely back and forth, forth and back. We gotta start calling him Joe ’N’ or Sarah ’N’ they had a good old racist time, right? 

Things blew up BAM! CNN, MSNBC it was nationwide. Coatesville, we came out in a raising fury. How dare you? We talked about it angrily. We protested, we did stuff, we did stuff and then the smoke cleared. And the smoke cleared. And the crowd dissipated. And then there was nobody left. Just a few people left…” 

“But guess who was missing? The very person who says that they love the Coatesville kids. Yep, never came out and denounced any of that action. Any of those words. He didn’t denounce the attitude and the character of one of his best friends. Because he was the one who got him the job and all that. And I'm just saying, and I know friends don't like to put friends, kick friends out of the bus. So I got to give credit for that. 

But still, if you're not going to kick a friend out of the bus for calling a whole school district a bunch of N words, then I  think there’s a price to pay, or you should make us understand why you didn’t. 

I want to quote something the Malcolm X said:

‘The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience. But where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige, and even his life for the welfare of others.’  

That’s what Malcolm X wrote. 

And it’s true today. Anybody can lead when everything’s going their way. When the   is giving you an unlimited amount to spend on whomever, or whatever. When you got the best of stadiums built for you so you can run your track teams and your football teams and all that. 

But where do you measure up when the rubber hits the road? Will you denounce your best friend for disgracing a whole school district? Will you denounce your old friend for disgracing a whole race of people? 

Look, Mr. Richard Como didn't like African Americans, Spanish. Latin, Asians, Indians, he didn't like anybody. He didn't like girls. He didn't like ethnicities, he didn't like ethnic groups. 

That’s when you are supposed to stand up. Coming out now because of a new district, that’s like Johnny come lately. We don't need nobody coming at the last minute to rescue nothing. When we needed you you weren't there. Conspicuous by your absence. 

Conspicuous by your absence. I wish you would have showed up. I wish you were a Democrat. But I really wish you would have showed up, no matter what party you belong to. 

Some of us still feel that today. 

They may not tell you but I talk with them. Yeah, they feel that. You had an opportunity when we asked you to come to Coatesville to talk. We could have hashed it out. You could have told us why you were so quiet. We all know you and Mr. Como was best of friends. So we understand that. But we understand if you said that you made a mistake and you should have said something and we could have forgave you for that. 

But you're still silent. While we still fight the good fight to make sure that him and Mr. Donato accreditation was taken from him. Because they don’t deserve anything. 

But the Republican Party they gave Mr. Como a golden parachute. When he should have been on the other side of some bars somewhere. At least he should have been fired. Not even a black mark on his record. Or Mr. Donato’s either. 

That’s the Republican leaning school board we had, the whole nine yards. 

I wish it wasn't like this. I wish I didn't have to talk about this. Because it still hurts some people today. That when in time of need we don't have the leaders stand up that should stand up.”

Fonz Newsuan’s  “BACK AT FONZI’S MAN CAVE” Facebook video is HERE:






A transcript of most of the video is BELOW:

"BACK AT FONZI’S MAN CAVE

Now it you tuned in yesterday, you realize we went down memory lane. We were talking about some DUI arrest by Joshua Maxwell and some other things and it struck it’s chord to me and said, yeah while we’re talking about the past let’s go back to the past. 

Well we talked about all the various Republican cuts that were made to our economy, social network programs everything. They cut everything. They cut so much stuff my fingers started bleeding, almost need a bandaid. Almost needed a blood transfusion because there was a lot of cuts involved. 

But that was yesterday and today is the day. So last night I was thinking Fonz, what can you talk about today?

So, let’s see. Two ideas came to me. 

One was education

And one was a subject about loyalty.

I think I'm going to talk about education first. I got my cheat sheet.  Because a lot of time I can't remember stuff. The closer I get to Medicare the more stuff I forget. But I better get to Medicare quick because Republicans are trying to cut that too. 

So let me see. Today I was going to talk about education cuts. But first I was thinking of a song that Whitney Houston made real popular. And it went something like this:

It was called the greatest love of all and I think it started, if my memory serves me right, it says; ‘I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.’

Those two sentences were very, very important. Teach the kids and let them lead the way. How are we going to teach the kids if every time we turn around they're cutting the budget on education. No funding. Kids don't have any supplies. 

Look I went to one school board meeting and one of the parents got up and said, ‘My child’s desk is being held together with Duck tape. Now you know Duck is not even the same as it used to be. So her desk was really jacked up. 

We need more funding but Republicans don't want, don't want to fund it. 

Let me see what else we got going on here. O, yeah, this is what they do. Instead of funding education they fund prisons. See they came up with a good idea. Republicans came up with this real good idea. They start some for profit prisons. 

Now I think it works something like this:

If we keep kids dumb. Don’t educate in schools and we fund prisons what we can do is, because the kid’s so dumb they got to rob or steal when they get older. We get them into prison. Then we get them to do work for 20-30 cents an hour. Because you know that’s what the prison pays now. I don’t think that’s right. 

I don't think you're supposed to improve your corporate bottom line by cheating and stealing the education from our children. Because don't you remember you said, they're our future. Stop playing. 

So look, let me see. So they’re doing the prison thing. What else are they doing? 

I know Pennsylvania leads in having prisons. I think it’s number two, right along with Texas. Texas who kills more people than anybody with executions. Yeah that’s who we want to be in line with, Texas. Scared of that one. 

Do you know it takes less to educate a child than it does to rehabilitate a man? That’s just common math. How come math gets lost on people when it doesn't add up to what they want it to add up to.

Yep, I know that math counts when they say we can balance the budget by subtracting stuff from the poor. We are balancing the budget by breaking the backs of the poor. It’s almost like a reverse Robin Hood. Instead of robbing from the rich to give to the poor. They rob from the poor to give to the rich. That ain't right. That is not right at all. 

Hey, today I got my first mailer from Josh Maxwell. It’s says, ‘Why I’m running.’

I'll put this right up close. 

Bam! 

Francis Sanchez’ kids on the back. I’m going to put that on Facebook. That was real nice. He got them to play some basketball with them. Well he said that the kids told him that they learned their moves at Rip Hamilton’s Basketball Camp. I don’t know. It looks like Josh taking them to the hoops, but who am I?

On this mailer it just tells some of the things that he plans on doing and stuff on it and everything. I like that. And nowhere on it is there any negativity about his opponent. 

See some people in life and you guys know that they like to build themselves up by putting the other man down. Well so far he hasn’t done it. I gotta give him an A+ for that. Now if he does something that puts the other man down I might have to subtract from the score. But just for today I think he’s doing the right thing. 

Go Josh Maxwell. Look matter of fact, let’s vote that whole ticket:

We got Tom Wolf, Josh Maxwell and Tom Houghton. 

Vote that whole Democratic ticket. Because it doesn’t make no sense to get yourself a quarterback and then everybody on your line is going to be from a different team. Because you are going to let people come in and rush him and sack the quarterback. 

That’s what they did to President Obama. He’s the quarterback but everybody on his line is on a different team. So what the do is, they just let people rush him and sack him. Every time he tries to put a bill, they went up the line and then sack him. That’s not right. That’s why I want to go with the whole team on this one, BAM!

I did some research yesterday, I asked around, I wanted to know, how long were the Republicans in control of Chester County? I been finding out they've been in control of Chester County since the middle of 1800s. That’s back there with Wild Bill Hitchcock, Jesse James and all them guys. 

Middle 1800s, man that takes me back to this; every time somebody running for office, awl man, they be talking about jobs. We’re going to lower taxes on corporations so they can create more jobs, because they the job creators. 

Where are these mysterious job creators? Ok, the Republicans have been in office, 1858-1860 that’s almost like 170 years, or 100 and whatever? ‘We them job creators.’ They keep talking this.  They're not knocking on the door. They're not putting up any signs saying we're having a job fair. Where are those job creators? 

How low does a tax need to go for them to create a job? I don't think that’s right. But that’s code for Republicans.  Because if you don't have a corporation you don't have a company you got problems on your hands. Because now you got to go back to that minimum wage that they give it up. 

If they haven't created no jobs since the middle of the 1800s I think it’s time to get somebody else a chance. I think it’s time to get a Democrat platform a chance. 170 years as you all well know doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I don’t care what color you put on it, what face you put on it, if you do and vote the same way you always did you’re going to get what you always got. Any fool, or addict knows that. 

We're going to talk about loyalty now. 

Loyalty, let’s think about that for a minute. 

Ok, we got a Democratic platform, we got a white guy running. We got a Republican platform that don’t like black people but they got a black man running for them. 

Now let me figure this out. Because sometimes black play black. I’ll vote for him, even if it hurts myself. Now that’s ridiculous. I’m insulted. African Americans aren’t and shouldn’t be like that. We shouldn’t vote color. Let’s get out of that archaic thinking. 

Let’s move over to the Republican. Say he’s a great guy. But he represents a party that don’t like anybody. And he doesn’t like your kids, he doesn’t like your mom, they don’t like your grandma they don’t like your sister on your cousin’s side. They don’t like anything about you. Ok, nothing. So you’re going to vote for him? If you do that, then I think that’s some sort of medical condition. So I went to Google medical conditions on why people do stuff that would hurt their own selves. The closest thing I could come up with was masochist. 

Masochist are people who love being hurt by themselves or others. Now I understand you’re African American and you vote for a Republican, you have just put yourself down as a masochist. 

I’m not going to do it. Ok, now back to loyalty. Back to loyalty.

See, one thing you gotta give people credit for loyalty. Take for instance. Last year around August, July - August, that’s when Mr. Richard Como and Mr. Donato, they got caught using the N word rather frequently and freely back and forth, forth and back. We gotta start calling him Joe ’N’ or Sarah ’N’ they had a good old racist time, right? 

Things blew up BAM! CNN, MSNBC it was nationwide. Coatesville, we came out in a raising fury. How dare you? We talked about it angrily. We protested, we did stuff, we did stuff and then the smoke cleared. And the smoke cleared. And the crowd dissipated. And then there was nobody left. Just a few people left. 

Surprisingly enough, there was just like a little bit of people left. But guess who was missing? The very person who says that they love the Coatesville kids. Yep, never came out and denounced any of that action. Any of those words. He didn’t denounce the attitude and the character of one of his best friends. Because he was the one who got him the job and all that. And I'm just saying, and I know friends don't like to put friends, kick friends out of the bus. So I got to give credit for that. 

But still, if you're not going to kick a friend out of the bus for calling a whole school district a bunch of N words, then I  think there’s a price to pay, or you should make us understand why you didn’t. 

I want to quote something the Malcolm X said:

‘The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience. But where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige, and even his life for the welfare of others.’  

That’s what Malcolm X wrote. 

And it’s true today. Anybody can lead when everything’s going their way. When the   is giving you an unlimited amount to spend on whomever, or whatever. When you got the best of stadiums built for you so you can run your track teams and your football teams and all that. 

But where do you measure up when the rubber hits the road? Will you denounce your best friend for disgracing a whole school district? Will you denounce your old friend for disgracing a whole race of people? 

Look, Mr. Richard Como didn't like African Americans, Spanish. Latin, Asians, Indians, he didn't like anybody. He didn't like girls. He didn't like ethnicities, he didn't like ethnic groups. 

That’s when you are supposed to stand up. Coming out now because of a new district, that’s like Johnny come lately. We don’t need nobody coming at the last minute to rescue nothing. When we needed you you weren’t there. Conspicuous by your absence. 

Conspicuous by your absence. I wish you would have showed up. I wish you were a Democrat. But I really wish you would have showed up, no matter what party you belong to. 

Some of us still feel that today. 

They may not tell you but I talk with them. Yeah, they feel that. You had an opportunity when we asked you to come to Coatesville to talk. We could have hashed it out. You could have told us why you were so quiet. We all know you and Mr. Como was best of friends. So we understand that. But we understand if you said that you made a mistake and you should have said something and we could have forgave you for that. 

But you’re still silent. While we still fight the good fight to make sure that him and Mr. Donato accreditation was taken from him. Because they don't deserve anything. 

But the Republican Party they gave Mr. Como a golden parachute. When he should have been on the other side of some bars somewhere. At least he should have been fired. Not even a black mark on his record. Or Mr. Donato’s either. 

That’s the Republican leaning school board we had, the whole nine yards. 

I wish it wasn't like this. I wish I didn't have to talk about this. Because it still hurts some people today. That when in time of need we don't have the leaders stand up that should stand up. 

But it’s a new day. This has brought us together. So Alfonzo is going to stand up, if nobody stands up. And there’s a lot of my Facebook friends and people in our churches all over Coatesville that’s standing up, one way or the other. They may not be loud like me. But they’re standing up in their community and they’re standing up in their parishes and they’re standing up in their churches and then doing what they have to do. 

So the days of taking advantage of and thinking that we’re stupid and insulting us, so that we’ll just fall for anything. Those days are over. Because as long as we are of one voice, we are going to be all right. 

Hey look everybody out there. All my friends on Facebook. I want to continue to have this commentary in my Man Cave. Bring me some ideas. Things that we need to talk about. And if you don't have any ideas for me then I’ll bring to you what I can carry as I go about in the community doing the work that, the advocacy work that I’m trying to do. And I'll let you know what’s going on. 

I might even use it to advertise an event at your church or at your school or whatever. I mean, this is what I do.

I know Galatians 6 and 9 it says, never tire of doing good. 

Now I'm going to paraphrase it because my memory’s bad. “Never tire of doing good. Because if you seed it you will reap a harvest.’ And the harvest for me is to see our children grow and our community grow and we'll have more love one towards another. 

Don't forget, vote Tom Wolf. Vote Josh Maxwell. Vote Tom Houghton. Vote that Democratic ticket, November 4th. 

Hey this is the midterm. We need you to get out and vote. Vote like you did when President Obama was running because without us voting for the mid-term we will not be able to provide him with the linemen, the halfbacks, the fullbacks for football people. We won't be able to provide him with the back up that he needs to get everything in his agenda across. He can't do it by himself. With a party that always is talking about, NO, no. We need our guys up in there so they can say, YES, YES, YES."

Ebola panic is misplaced. Hospital Acquired Infections cause 99,000 deaths each year. I got a VRE infection at Brandywine Hospital.

The ebola infections in Dallas expose why hospitals should not be just a corporation traded on Wall Street  

Even in the absence of ebola for-profit hospitals should be a cause of widespread panic. 

They are places where relatively healthy people go and die months later from infections they caught in the hospital. I got a Hospital Acquired Infection at Brandywine Hospital. It was reported to the CDC. No one in the hospital expected me to survive. My doctor, who is at the hospital, told me not to go there for surgery again.

There are thousands of for profit hospitals all over our country with lax infection control, basic things like hand washing and changing gloves. For profit hospitals have one registered nurse, if that, per floor to make a larger bottom line. 

The bacteria of hospital acquired infections are bacteria that live in the rails of hospital beds and corners of the rooms. They make their way onto open wounds of patients or into IV lines. 

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated roughly 1.7 million hospital-associated infections, from all types of bacteria combined, cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year.[21] Other estimates indicate 10%, or 2 million, patients a year become infected, with the annual cost ranging from $4.5 billion to $11 billion. In the USA, the most frequent type of infection hospitalwide is urinary tract infection (36%), followed by surgical site infection (20%), and bloodstream infection and pneumonia (both 11%).[1][needs update]”

O what a tangled web Harry weaves, when Harry first practices to deceive. Democrats for Harry Lewis signs.

HARRY LEWIS IS A REPUBLICAN
"This is not illegal but it’s tricky...
 Now I understand why that was done that way because this is a political tactic as I understand it. 
 Because they figure if you can’t really decide who this person is what we’ll do is we’ll vote color.  We’ll see the word Democrat. We'll see an African American and we'll vote for them... Nobody’s going to pour a whole lot of money in you so you can get in office and do what you think you want to do.  Republicans don’t put a lot of money into a person for them to get in there and vote Democrat. And to further Democratic ideologies and platforms. - Fonz Newsuan 

Listen to Fonz Newsuan from Coatesville:

HERE IS A TRANSCRIPT OF FONZ NEWSUAN'S SECOND BACKYARD INTERVIEW:

"Good afternoon everybody. My name is Fonz Newsuan and this is the second part of our Backyard Interview.

Today we’re coming to you once again just to say hi to everybody and hoping everybody’s doing good out there.

Ok, we’re in the middle of this election season and I’m getting a lot of posts on my Facebook page about all the things that’s going on in the community. 

“There seems to be a little discrepancy here as to who is who in this election. There’s a little discrepancy about the signage, things of this nature. So hopefully this afternoon I can make it a little more clear. 

Ok, we have seen some signs that say Democrats for Harry Lewis. 

This is not illegal but it’s tricky. Because see, we as  members of the community, when we see that we just automatically assume that he’s a Democrat. 

And I know it’s not just me because as I’ve gone up and down the highway everybody I talk to says:

 “Fonz, Isn’t Mr. Lewis a Democrat?” And I of course tell them no. He’s running as a Republican. 

Mr. Josh Maxwell is the Democratic nominee for the position of State Representative of the 74th District. 

Now I understand why that was done that way because this is a political tactic as I understand it. 

Because they figure if you can’t really decide who this person is what we’ll do is we’ll vote color.  We’ll see the word Democrat. We’ll see an African American and we’ll vote for them. 

But that to me is insulting because it’s not giving us, It’s not giving us the true honest opportunity to vote our conscience. 

It is my belief that if you are a Republican and you are proud to be a Republican then you should say it somewhere on your signage. 

Because if you’re embarrassed about the political party you represent, then how can you represent us?

I’m not feeling that. It’s nothing personal. But then again you have to admit it because my vote counts to the extent that it affects my children, my grandchildren, and everybody else. 

So yes I think we all should know. We should have an honest assessment of who is who and who is not. 

I remember and old adage that says, “O what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”  How can we trust a politician in office when to get in that office there’s trickery involved. 

I don’t know how to defend this but as far as me and my household we’re Democrats. 

Is it possible for me to vote for a party whose main ideas have always been to oppress the less fortunate. To try and take away our voters rights. To try and take away those safety net issues that we need. 

So no, I can’t vote Republican. I like Republicans, but as a political party I can’t vote for them. They’re constantly trying to take away our civil rights. 
And no, I don’t care what color you are. If you’re representing that party, I can’t vote for you. 

Now a lot of people said well you don’t vote for the party you vote for the person. That’s kind of right.
But check this out:

Nobody’s going to pour a whole lot of money in you so you can get in office and do what you think you want to do. Republicans don’t put a lot of money into a person for them to get in there and vote Democrat. And to further Democratic ideologies and platforms. 

We're just going to keep that real. Because if you believe that, like Dr. Dan K. Williams will tell us in church, “You go to bed with your boots on.” We don’t go to bed with our boots on. 

I think everybody in this election are fine people in a sense. Although once you start delving into trickery, it kind of like shows on your character. I don’t want nobody to blow their legacy or anything so I think we should keep this election as clean as possible. Because we all want to look at each other after it’s over and still can have respect for each other. 

Let’s see what else can I give you.

November 4th is one of the biggest things we can ever have, It’s the biggest election since President Obama. And you’ll look on my (Facebook) page, you'll see that President Obama was shaking hands and was in the company with Mr. Josh Maxwell. If Josh Maxwell is good enough for President Barack Obama then he’s more than good enough for me. 

I don't know who the Republicans are going to bring to this town to try and campaign for the Republican candidates. I know Mr. Tom Wolf the future Governor of Pennsylvania came to Caln School and promised to increase the funding for the school. I haven’t seen no Republicans come out and do that. 

To say you’re in this for the kids. Then vote like it. Or now if you're into it because y'all buddies and you’re friends then do that. But when you see the kids come home with no supplies. When you see overcrowded classes, just look in the mirror and realize you were the problem. 

So look, I want to thank you guys for tuning in today. I will maybe in the near future before the election day I’ll will have my backyard interview once again. Where I will try to express myself, some more viewpoints. Hopefully you guys will hit me up on Facebook and I can address your concerns 

Now look, This is my backyard. This isn't nothing that was made up. I’m not in no studio. You will hear noises. You will hear birds chirping. And that’s all a part of keeping it real. This is real stuff, real rap from a real person. I love you guys. 

Don't forget November the fourth to vote. Do not be fooled. Do not be deceived. And look, if nobody told you today that they love you. I love you.. God bless you and have a great day. "
