Congratulations to the SCLC.

They've been approved for the Capital One Platinum Race Card.

The Platinum Race Card is valid for assigning blame when you haven't done your job, diffusing embarrassing legal situations whether you're guilty or not, and much, much more.

The SCLC is attempting to diffuse an embarrassing legal situation. Today, they're holding a press conference to "denounce the legal attack on Tyrone Brooks and the mean spirited effort to discredit his SCLC civil rights work and denigrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."

State Representative Tyrone Brooks was recently indicted on 30 counts of mail, wire and tax fraud.

When the indictment was announced, United States Attorney Sally Yates said, "This is a disappointing day. Representative Brooks has done much good in his life, both as a state legislator and civil rights leader" [Severson, Kim (23 May 2013). Civil Rights Firebrand’s Fraud Case in Georgia Now Has Others Treading Softly
. New York Times. Retrieved on 18 June 2013.].

Not once did U.S. Attorney Sally Yates or anyone else denigrate the work done by Representative Brooks or Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But the Capital One Platinum Race Card allows groups like the SCLC to shut down debate by using race. The Capital One Platinum Race Card allows one to play the victim, even if they've been accused of victimizing others.

Union City Mayor Ralph Moore resigned suddenly this week.

Moore, who was first elected in 1993, submitted his resignation letter (shown below) last month at the Union City City Council meeting.

Union City City Council Member Vince Williams, the mayor pro tempore, is now serving as the city's chief executive until the November elections, when a new mayor will be elected for a four-year term.





Union City is located in south Fulton County, and has a population of 19,456.

The Democratic Party of Georgia is facing major upheaval these days.

The Party's Federal Elections Commission (FEC) report for the period beginning 1 April 2013 and ending 30 April 2013 showed the organization with just $30,734.18 cash on hand and a large credit card bill totaling nearly $11,000. Former Party leader Mike Berlon resigned after a media firestorm concerning his law practice, leaving First Vice-Chair Nikema Williams at the helm until a special election can be held.

Now, an analysis of Georgia Democratic Party rules suggests Williams may be forced out of her job as First Vice-Chair if a female is elected Party chairman.

The Charter of the Democratic Party of Georgia states that, "The First Vice-Chair shall be of the opposite gender to the State Chair."

In layman's terms, if the Democratic Party of Georgia chairman is a male, then the First Vice-Chair must be a female. If the Democratic Party of Georgia chairman is a female, then the First Vice-Chair must be a male.

Mike Berlon's resignation started a process; a process that ends with a special election of a new Party chair to fill out the remainder of Berlon's term.

Former state Senator Mary Squires announced she's running for Democratic Party of Georgia chairman. Squires is the only announced candidate, thus far.

If Squires wins, Party rules say the First Vice-Chair shall be a man, leaving current First Vice-Chair Nikema Williams (a woman) out of a job.

Georgia Unfiltered obtained a copy of an ethics complaint filed against Atlanta City Council Member H. Lamar Willis.

The complaint, which can be read below, alleges Willis "accepted at least $4,000 in campaign contributions," but did not report them.

Willis, who is up for re-election this fall, is also facing the possibility of being disbarred for "allegedly depositing $30,000 meant for a client in a personal injury case into his own bank account," according to a Creative Loafing report [Wheatley, Thomas (7 February 2013). Court-appointed lawyer recommends Councilman H. Lamar Willis be disbarred for ethical violations. Creative Loafing. Retrieved on 11 June 2013.].
