i want more leeway and resources given to 501C3 organization whom operate out side the church and who does not have the political capital, striking down laws and legislation that was created to discriminate and prohibit poor black's from employment opportunities and contracts and for the new president elect to use his executive order to rewrite the rule, laws, policies and legislation to change how government grants and contracts are let-out to ensure that his change is from the bottom up giving resources to those whom need them the most (poor black folks) and not giving the resources back to the black church, MLK center, Urban league or any of the nou veau riche middle-class groups who abhor poor blacks and don't represent our cause or speak for poor blacks. Moreover, this legislation should add into all grants and contracts language bid or no bid specifying how poor black business and organization shall be included into the grant or contract going to infrastructure in the building trades, unions, schools, trade programs, re-entry services and programs, to business start-up there must be full language to address this problem nation wide. Contrary, to the new president elect, the other America needs a government bailout too.
