 EVERY YOUNG ADULT A MILLIONAIRE!
 - Author Rich Patenaude simultaneously launches "The Student Millionaire" and website

“This Christmas season, give the gift that lasts a lifetime,” says Rich Patenaude. “Give a young adult you know the recipe to become a millionaire.
If a young adult today wants to become a millionaire but doesn’t know where to begin, The Student Millionaire is the place to start,” says Patenaude. “The recipe for becoming a millionaire from scratch is the same for everyone,” says Patenaude. “The path may be different, but the principles are the same.”
“Our motto is 'Every Young Adult a Millionaire',” says Patenaude. “We just need to show our young people the way.”
“Whether it’s Madam C.J. Walker or Oprah, the principles for achieving wealth and success are the same,” says Patenaude. “These principles are not rocket science. Some of them have been around for a very long time. They are just not taught in our schools.” says Patenaude. “The school system does its best to prepare us for jobs and careers in the marketplace. But schools do not teach us that expecting to be a Millionaire is as normal as expecting to graduate from High School,” says Patenaude
The Student Millionaire is a guide for young adults to find their path to their first million dollars. Rich Patenaude teaches young adults how these principles work together to bring about a million-dollar goal. Patenaude’s wealth blog for young adults along with the book appear on The Student Millionaire website at www.TheStudentMillionaire.com or get your copy on Amazon:Student Millionaire : How to make serious cash and leave university or college debt free and RICH!

Mr. Patenaude is available for interviews and appearances and can be reached at 240-731-5900.

About Rich Patenaude

During his second term in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Mr. Patenaude joined The Carter Presidential Campaign. After a successful campaign tour of 13 Congressional Districts in seven states, Mr. Patenaude was appointed to the Department of State in the Carter Administration. Following his tenure as Co-Publisher of American Politics Magazine, Mr. Patenaude joined the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and subsequently the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) upon successful completion of his MBA.

Saturday, December 14, 11:00 to 1:00 PM a celebration of life ceremony will take place at Boys and Girls High School, 1700 Fulton Street, in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York City. Republic of South Africa Consul General George Monyemangene will address the audience. Immediately following the indoor celebration New York City Public Advocate elect Letitia “Tish” James will lead a pedestrian/motorcar procession thru the community. This march will meet a South African community vigil at the school playground, near M.S. 113, DeKalb Avenue at Carlton, in the Fort Greene section of the borough.
The People of Brooklyn fondly remember Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. The international icon of peace and justice visited the borough on June 21, 1990 (just months after his release from Robben Island) during his eight city USA tour. NYPD estimated 100,000 Brooklynites greeted the president’s motorcade as it passed thru the neighborhoods of East New York, Fort Greene; his first official stop on this tour was at Boys and Girls High School where he addressed New Yorkers.
Al Sharpton's National Action Network, labor union SEIU, AFL/CIO Transport Workers Union Local 100, Madiba Restaurant, Roots Revisited/Kwanzaa Collective, Sistas’ Place/December 12 Movement, Lions Brooklyn Remsen Brownsville Club, and Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium/CBJC are some of the organizations behind this event. City-wide elected officials, faith based, and community leaders are expected to be among the people attending.

Today, International Human Rights Day, I Support Colombia's Outcry for Peace.

Today on International Human Rights Day, thousands of Colombians will take to the streets in support of the ongoing peace process. Bringing together the voices of victims of violence, women, trade unionists, artists, campesinos, students, intellectuals, indigenous and Afro-descendants, this mobilization aims to promote a peace process that includes a social and human rights agenda.
Colombians will express their support for peace and their continued outrage over the human costs of the war:  forced displacements, widespread massacres, threats against unionists and human rights activists, and the exclusion of indigenous and Afro-descendant communities. It’s a demonstration of hope, with Colombians coming together with the dream of creating a lasting peace.

Even with the ongoing peace process, there still is a human rights crisis in Colombia. Displacement continues, with 2,700 people forced from their homes last month just in Buenaventura. Human rights defenders, journalists and union members continue to be harassed and threatened for the work they do. Land restitution under the Victims’ Law continues at a snail’s pace and is jeopardized by the presence of paramilitary successor groups that threaten the safe return of communities.
   
Here at the LAWG, we believe that in order to build a just and lasting peace, the underlying human rights, economic and social aspects of the conflict must be addressed. This means addressing human rights violations by all parties to the conflict and creating space for civil society participation in the peace process and its implementation. It means there must be truth, and there must be justice.

There’s a long road ahead, but it’s time to say yes to peace.

Thanks for all you do,

Lisa and Omar
The LAWG Colombia Team

President Obama's Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative to be hosted by select local barbershops

    PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FATHERHOOD AND MENTORING INITIATIVE FATHERHOOD BUZZ ENCOURAGES FATHERS TO "TAKE TIME TO BE A HEALTHY DAD TODAY"
    ~ Select Local Barbershops to Host Events and Provide Fathers with Parenting Resources 

     Posted by TheBlackList-Publisher on November 14, 2013 at 9:00am on TheBlacklist Blog



    Washington, DC (BlackNews.com) -- As part of President Obama’s Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative, The National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC), funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families, Office of Family Assistance will team up with community agencies and barbershops across the country as part of Fatherhood Buzz to provide fathers with key tips, information and strategies that focus on men’s health. Barbershops, which serve as unofficial outlets for peer education in many communities, were chosen as the trusted hub to share information about fatherhood and the essential role that fathers play in society. Events will include national and local resources for fathers, including handouts on health and wellness, parenting tips, networking, and positive conversations.
    On average, men live five years less than women – with heart disease as the leading cause of death. Fatherhood Buzz events will encourage fathers to treat their health as part of their commitment to being a responsible father. Fathers who model a healthy lifestyle can have a powerful and positive impact on the development and health of their children. In fact, studies have found that children who have actively engaged fathers are more likely to have good physical and emotional health, to achieve academically, and avoid drugs, violence, and delinquent behavior.
    "The three ways you can be a responsible father and man is by eating right, getting exercise and getting regular preventive health screenings," says Kenneth Braswell, Director, National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC). "We are doing this outreach through barbershops to ensure that men, especially fathers, know about the importance of their health for themselves and their families."
    Encouraging health among fathers through conversations is just one topic in a series of topics sponsored by NRFC being used to strengthen fathers and families through barbershops across the country.
    President Obama’s Fatherhood Initiative’s Fatherhood Buzz is a pilot program of The National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC) - an established, national and international resource for fathers, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers. A service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) Office of Family Assistance, NRFC develops and collects information about policies, priorities, trends, research findings, and promising fatherhood practices. The NRFC disseminates that knowledge to practitioners and the fatherhood field to support well-being and economic self-sufficiency outcomes for fathers, children, families, and communities. For more information, call 1(877) 4DAD-411 or visit www.fatherhood.gov.

    The fight to free Marissa Alexander continues - sentence to 20 years for firing a warning shot.


    The fight to free Marissa Alexander continues. Alexander is an African American mother who was sentenced to 20 years for firing a warning shot to stop an attack by her abusive husband. In September, a Florida Appeals court overturned her guilty verdict and she secured the right to a new trial. The new trial is scheduled to begin March 31, 2014.

    On Nov. 13, Judge Daniels failed to grant Marissa Alexander's request to be released on bond. He heard arguments, but said he will decide later, perhaps before the end of the year. Meanwhile, Marissa is still in jail. The national Free Marissa Now campaign statement on the hearing is below.

    Get involved -- your ideas and involvement are needed! Radical Women continues to be a proud and active member of the Free Marissa Now campaign. Please contact me at RadicalWomenUS@gmail.com or 206-722-6057 if you are interested in being part of the dynamic, grassroots effort to keep Marissa's case in the public eye, build pressure for her release, raise funds for her legal defense and continue to address how Black women and other survivors of domestic violence are criminalized for defending themselves.

    Free Marissa Now has launched a campaign to raise at least $10,000 by the end of the year. All of the proceeds go to the Marissa Alexander Legal Defense Fund which is administered by Marissa's family on her behalf. Marissa's lawyers are volunteering their time, but there are still many, many expenses to wage an excellent defense at her new trial. Donate at tiny.cc/freedomfundraiser. There is also information on that page about donating by check.

    I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you!

    For Immediate Release

    Statement to the Press
    Not guilty but still in prison: Justice denied to Marissa Alexander

    An appalling injustice took place today in Jacksonville, Florida when Judge James Daniel failed to grant Marissa Alexander's request to be released on bond until a verdict is reached in her new trial that begins March 31, 2014. At the end of September, a Florida Appeals Court threw out the guilty verdict against Ms. Alexander and ordered a new trial due to severe problems in the instructions to the jury. With the overturn of the original verdict, Marissa Alexander is no longer guilty in the eyes of the law, but she is still in prison.

    Marissa Alexander, an African American mother and daughter, was sentenced to 20 years for firing a warning shot to stop an attack by her abusive ex-husband -- an act of self-defense that injured no one. She was denied a Stand Your Ground defense. She has already been separated from her young children and family for nearly three years. The youngest was only 9 days old when the domestic violence incident occurred.

    Release on personal recognizance or bond is supposed to be allowed to defendants who present no risk of flight or danger to the community. This mother of three is firmly rooted in the Jacksonville community by her connections to family, children and friends. She poses no danger to the public. Or has the state of Florida decided that she is a danger for the sole reason that she is a black woman?

    It is well documented that black women and other marginalized people are likely to be criminalized, prosecuted, and incarcerated while trying to navigate and survive the conditions of violence in their lives. This is especially true for black women who are subjected to racist stereotypes that paint them as overly aggressive and unworthy.

    The Free Marissa Now Mobilization Campaign is undaunted in our passion to win Marissa Alexander's release. We have launched the Marissa Alexander Freedom Fund campaign to raise $10,000 by the end of the year to help pay for legal costs of the new trial. Donors can give at tiny.cc/freedomfundraiser.

    Our movement is thousands strong and we will keep going.

    We have a trial to help win and we will continue to organize for Marissa's freedom and the end of domestic violence and mass incarceration. The world is watching and we will not rest until justice is won.

    The Dallas 6 Case: Solitary Confinement on Trial in a United States Courtroom

    The trial of the Dallas 6 is set to begin on December 9, 2013 in the Luzerne County Courthouse before Judge Lesa Gelb. It is a rare instance of solitary confinement being put on trial in a United States courtroom. This trial pertains to an April 29, 2010 peaceful protest to illegal and barbaric conditions created by the Department of Corrections prison guards in the hole at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas (SCI Dallas), including food starvation, mail destruction, beatings, medical neglect, use of a torture chair and deaths of various prisoners.

    After guards tortured fellow prisoner Isaac Sanchez in the torture chair overnight and threatened several Dallas 6 members with death, inmates Andre Jacobs, Carrington Keys, Duane Peter, Derrick Stanley, Anthony Locke and Anthony Kelly decided that they did not want to suffer anymore. Covering their cell door windows with bedding, the prisoners demanded that the abuse stop, and requested access to their counselors, state police, the District Attorney and the Public Defenders Office. They had no access to telephones or computers and their incoming and out-going mail were being destroyed to undermine their ability to expose the corruption.

    Rather than investigate or attempt to resolve the issues which occurred for over a year prior to April 29, 2010, prison officials staged an armed assault against the unarmed men, who were all locked inside of their individual cells, viciously attacking them with electro-shock shields, tazers, fists, and pepper-spray. While all of the guards involved in the incident admitted that they did not suffer any injuries, members of the Dallas 6 were left bloody, naked, with burnt skin, and in pain.

    Following the assaults, several Dallas 6 members were transferred to other prisons. Hundreds of documents were generated, including specific claims of misconduct alleged against the Dallas 6. Not once was the word riot mentioned. After civil actions and other complaints were filed against prison guards and officials regarding the events, the prison, state police, and the Luzerne County Office of the District Attorney formed an alliance to bring criminal charges against the Dallas 6,--now calling the incident a riot four months later.

    The Wilkes-Barre Dallas 6 Support Team exists to educate Luzerne County citizens about how their tax dollars are being misused to persecute and abuse people in their name. From transporting the Dallas 6 to court with helicopters hovering above, attorney hours, housing, court staffing, and travel over the course of a 3-year period, the state has spent between $250,000 and half a million dollars to prosecute these men who took a stand to save their lives and the lives of people around them.

    The trial of the Dallas 6 will represent a moment of truth and exposure. We call on all who believe in justice and equality to promote awareness of this case.

    This year once again Lakou NY calls on the community to join us as we travel to Plymouth, Massachusetts to stand with the United American Indians of the New England as they mark the 44th National Day of Mourning on the day many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving.

    Many of us who celebrate Thanksgiving and eat turkey on this day do so without realizing that this holiday originates from a massacre of 700 Pequot men, women, elders, and children in Mystic, Connecticut.

    The National Day of Mourning starts at noon with a Native American prayer ceremony. It is followed by a march around the town and a rally in front of Plymouth Rock where members of the UAINE tell the truth about the genocide perpetrated against their people and also their resistance which the day's mobilization represents. The day ends with a potluck dinner where everyone sits and eats together. This year, the day is once again dedicated to Native American political prisoner Leonard Peltier, unjustly imprisoned by the US Government since 1977.

    The Lakou NY bus leaves  at 6am on Thursday Nov. 26th, 2009 from Radyo Pa Nou which is located at 1685 Nostrand Ave. (bet. Beverly Rd. and Cortelyou Rd.) in Brooklyn, NY.
    Participation is $30.
    (#2 or 5 train to Beverly Rd. in Brooklyn or B44 to Nostrand Ave. and Beverly Rd.)

    Please call us at 347-730-3620 or email us at lakounyenfo@yahoo.com to reserve your seat.

    The International Action Center is organizing a bus from Manhattan. You can reach them at 212-633-6646.
