War is Politics With Blood & Politics is War Without Blood.
There's a war going on in the 5th. There have been heavy casualties already. Fireworks are going off all over, on the streets, in the neighborhoods and especially in the local media. The one element missing from the entire scene is the African-American leadership.

rarely hear Orlando African-American elected officials speak-out on substantive issues concerning the African-American Community or, for that matter, anything else.

The Game is Changing.
It's a brand new day on the Orlando political horizon and everyone best get on board for the benefit of the community or the People will speak and remove you from office.

You have an opportunity to stand up and lead or be removed; the choice is yours. All eyes on you!
