Resolution Naming Memphis Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial City

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. MEMORIAL CITY

Whereas Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968...

Whereas no appropriate monument dedicated to this architect of a better United States of America is currently erect in Memphis, Tennessee...

Whereas Memphis, Tennessee is preodominantly populated by people of color, yet there is not one definitive niche of commerce in the city that is controlled by them...

Whereas Memphis, Tennessee is the home of the National Civil Rights Museum at The Lorraine Motel...

Whereas all Memphians aspire to be worthy of Dr. King's great sacrifice, and to live up to Dr. King's ideals and principles...

Whereas the city of Memphis, Tennessee epitomizes the esthetic beauty of the American South...

It is hereby resolved, this day, February 22, 2012, by the OCCUPYBLACKCAUCUS, that the City of Memphis, Tennessee is the Official Monument to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


From this day forward, when you enter the city limits of Memphis, Tennessee, you enter the Official Monument to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When you leave the city limits of Memphis, Tennessee, you leave the official monument to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. If you live in Memphis, Tennessee, you live within the Monument to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When you walk the streets of Memphis, Tennessee, you walk upon the Monument to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When you talk, laugh, or cry in this city, you do it as part of the living monument to the King. Let us conduct ourselves accordingly.

Is the National Debt an Issue, Really?

The American people aren’t interested in reducing the national debt, really. They welcome the burdening of their children for a thousand years and aren’t interested in reducing the national debt by about 30%, forever.

The American people can’t continue to overlook one of the greatest opportunities in American’s history to cut the debt burden on our future. To free the American people of this burden, trillions of dollars in debt and taxes, would take bold moves. Everyone alive today would benefit from this Godly plan: Rebuild African-American people into equal partners in industry and commerce.

The results would be astronomical; from reduced welfare dependence to nearly zero crime to a much healthier sociality. The known world as of today would transform into a much different world in the near future. Each reduction in social programs, justice dept., and commercial subsidies would equate into billions in reduced taxes.

America must give 35 million people, African-Americans, a right and opportunity to reach every level of the American dream: The highest quality of life in the world.

America must stop “giving” its people fish and bread; start “teaching” them how to fish for their self. In other words; teach black people how to successfully enter into industry and commerce; make opportunities available to them; finance their ideas and witness commercial growth unlike any other period in America’s history. The windfall benefit, to every American citizen, would be astronomical.
