John, I am so proud of and focused on all the wonderful people of Memphis I meet every day in the stores, on our streets, in our churches, and through social media...minus the approximate 500 repeat offenders who are committing crimes and terrorizing our community.
On Mother's Day, I parked my car on Pendleton in South Memphis, one of the most dangerous areas of the city, and I walked half a block alone, SAFELY, while passing a large group of men in their front yards drinking beer, whiskey, etc. I accidently left my car running for an hour and prayed, "Okay, God, I give this car over to You. You protect it" and HE DID.
I was honored to participate in the Mother's Day food give-away sponsored by Touched by An Angel Ministries, with chairman Larry Hunter, State Representative Republican candidate - District 88.
When I say I was proud of Memphis, I mean "I am proud of Memphis." I met a few hundred of the real folks of our community. Some were homeless and some slept in their cars or experienced the most minimal, base lifestyle offered. Many were truly in need and deserve better. I have been homeless myself. I have also experienced the pain of being a grandparent of a senseless murdered loved one.
As I was passing out food items to many who are down on their luck, there was no violence. One lady pulled me aside and said, "I need to talk with you. There is something about you that makes me want to talk to you. I need to talk." I listened to her tell me about the murder of her daughter. Detectives have been assigned to her case but when they get promoted, the case is passed to another detective, and on and on and on. I know and feel the pain of my fellow Memphians. That mother deserved better. We all deserve better. I am so glad the MEDIA is not my only filter for judging the people of Memphis.
Most of the money we need to get the approximately 500 criminals off the streets, to hire more police to protect our good people, goes to the federal government, which is approximately $34+ trillion in debt. They do not care about our community. They just want our money to spend. Well, it's time they start caring! Speaker Mike Johnson needs help in getting legislation passed.
Memphis will get BETTER WITH BERGMANN. Thank you for allowing me to serve on your behalf. Send me to Washington D.C. to help reduce that budget.
I want to send a special shout out to WMC channel 5. They came out to cover the Mother's Day Give-away event, and were the recipients of Mother's Day gifts, too.
SPONSORS NEEDED
We are looking for sponsors to purchase tables to allow more Whitehaven residences, college students and church leaders to attend the Brunch. Help us spread the message of freedom and liberty to a community that has only received liberal messages, year after year.
