THE FALSE ENDORSEMENT

-


I have been so NOT  trying to put the Congressman from the 4th District of Georgia on full blast but... he touts a Presidential endorsement for his 2014 re-election bid against his one and only opponent Thomas Brown, however, that endorsement was from his 2012 re-election campaign where he was endorsed by Obama, who called Johnson "a tireless champion for all of metro Atlanta middle-class families when He faced Republican J. Chris Vaughn in the November general election.  

Today, Johnson still touts the same awesome photo of himself deplaning Air Force One with the President and is even using that 2012 endorsement letter in
radio commercials and even local news papers to sway the vote in the nearly 90% Democratic district, passing it off as a new 2014 endorsement.

Johnson has been using this  "FALSE ENDORSEMENT" to net him other hi ranking endorsements to
help propel his campaign,  that stands in grave Jeopardy. 

YES he was endorsed by our President but Not this election, Not this Primary and NOT against another Democrat!

I guess Hank didn't think anyone in his district was bold enough, brazen (bold and without shame) enough or smart enough to even check. 

But Rep. Johnson would not be the first elected official to mislead his constituents.....

Claims a False Endorsements...

In a major election, the right endorsement can help lead any candidate to victory. But when releasing a list of candidates’ endorsements, it may be important to make sure those listed are, well, actually endorsing them... and for the current year.

That’s what happened in 2012 to Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich, who was running for the district attorney’s office.  Officials from the Los Angeles Airport Peace Officers Association, the Los Angeles School Police Association and the National Association of Prosecuting Attorneys were “surprised to learn that Trutanich has touted them as endorsers,” according to the Los Angeles Times. He falsified the endorsement questionnaire. The endorsement questionnaire was signed swearing the truth.

In the 2012 primary,  With three state representatives claiming that Congressman Ed Markey erroneously included them as supporters, the Malden Democrat’s campaign acknowledged potential errors. The campaign had earlier stood by its claim that its list of 100 state and local elected officials endorsing him was accurate. Three state representatives told the News Service they had not, as Markey claimed, endorsed him.

In the June 2013 campaign year, Dallas City Council candidate Jesse Diaz claimed on the campaign trail that two black members of the City Council had endorsed him — a claim that appeared not to be accurate. The support of black voters could well have proven critical in District 5.  “Jesse Diaz is pouring fuel on a fire that risks igniting a racial division,” a campaign statement said.

There are many more FALSE ENDORSEMENTS to be sited across the country but you get my drift.

I would think we would all want a Representative that did not mislead us or stoop to trickery to get our "ONE PRECIOUS VOTE".

So, to be politically correct, I am not calling the Congressman from the 4th District of Georgia a LIAR, I am simply saying there are POTENTIAL ERRORS....

TURN DOWN HANK, TURN DOWN!

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-
Image
“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Take a tour of Tyler Perry's massive new studio on a former Army base in Atlanta, Georgia

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
