The Quitman 10 in Quitman: 18 June 2011

Information from George Rhynes:

What: Quitman 10 Support Rally
When: 2 PM Saturday 18 June 2011
Where: Walker Street Auditorium, Quitman, Georgia

Here are

more details.

George explains:

Once again, no comments or interviews from the Quitman Ten on the
alleged voter fraud charges against them. Moreover, nothing has been
published about

the Quitman Ten receiving support and recognition from
Brooks County Community Leaders,
Georgia State Senators, Representatives, President of GABEO, Chairman
of the Peoples Agenda, and other Civil and Human Rights Leaders and
organizations.



I will note that I took the video in that blog entry for LAKE,
and LAKE published it in January,
so it’s not quite nothing has been published, but

George has a point about newspapers and TV.
Here’s

the video:

More from George (I’ve added a few LAKE blog links to his links to his blog):

The South Georgia Media has ignored Georgia State Representative

traveling to Brooks County on May 7, 2011, and visited several
locations where Quitman Ten Members were arrested. They visited the
Brooks County Jail, walked the streets, made speeches, talked with
citizens, gave interviews and made plans for a return visit and rally
that will be held on June 18, 2011.

However, local news media outlets have said little to nothing about
this news worthy events. In addition, there was

a big rally held in Macon, Georgia on May 14, 2011
with leaders from around the state
standing in support of the Quitman Ten but this too was a whiteout here
in South Georgia. It was much like the overwhelming support they
received when



they visited the State Capitol early in January 2011.
These many omissions of events pertaining are beginning to give the
appearance that the Quitman Ten case is being tried in the court of
public opinion or perhaps to poison the minds of citizens here in South
Georgia.

George continued:

Why has nothing
been reported about the June 18, 2011 rally scheduled to be held in
Brooks County? It has been reported that leaders from around the
State of Georgia and beyond will meet to draw attention to the Quitman
Ten Issues and initiate a movement called the “Mississippi Georgia
Project.” This effort will seek to draw attention to possible
barriers being set up to keep some citizens from the polls and
information concerning the redistricting lines will be highlighted.

The Mississippi Georgia Project will also focus on crime, poverty,
probation, jail and prison inmate’s inhumane living conditions, jail
deaths and other irregularities in our state. This project will
address and record ideas, complaints and proposed solutions from actual
citizens to finally put a face on poverty, crime, homelessness and
alleged voter intimidation in our state including a look at the Quitman
Ten Case. Information is being considered from the allegations
against the Quitman Ten to serve as a model of what citizens and voters
must be prepared to endure throughout the State of Georgia during the
upcoming elections.

At the Macon Rally on May 14, it was highlighted that the Quitman Ten
worked hard to register voters after consulting with the proper
agencies and the historical record will reflect that 78 percent of all
Brooks County eligible voters are registered. This means that only
800 eligible voters are unregistered in Brooks County and citizens are
now vigorously working to get them registered to empower to become
active in the Georgia Electoral Process. Now really view the
credentials of the

“Quitman Ten Citizens” that your news media may
have not betrayed in the best light of what is the truth concerning
these highly respected community leaders in Brooks County Georgia.

We must ask ourselves! Who determined NOT to publish the new changes
as to who can vote by absentee ballot? Or that some voters prefer
absentee ballots because in the case of a recount there is a paper
trail? Even though, we live here in South Georgia one does not have
to be a rocket scientist to see that the Quitman Ten Members are not
being equally served by the South Georgia News Media Outlets.

Moreover, who contacted the Department of Justice, Secretary of States
Office, Georgia State Representatives, and others concerning problems
with the Brooks County Election Process? How many citizens in Brooks
County have been interviewed concerning their many complaints of
alleged voter harassment and intimidation by the GBI investigation to
the degree that some voters refused to return to the polls to vote?
How much news media coverage has been published about the GBI Agent
driving a black pick-up truck around in the Black Community and
allegedly intimidating citizens? Who published the questions that
were asked to Black Voters in Brooks County?

As I walked the streets in Brooks County along with a pastor from
Valdosta; we were asked by several Brooks county Voters; how could GBI
Investigators know who they had voted for; except they had total access
and control of their actual ballots? Why only the Black candidates’
supporters were investigated when there was a spike in absentee ballots
on both sides of the political spectrum?

The Quitman Free Press reported that due to a conflict of interest,
Assistant Southern District Attorney Brad Shealy is a long time member
of the Board of Education and has served for thirty-years as president
until he was OUSTED by the current president Nancy Whitefield-Dennard.
We must ask; who granted Ms Dennard the authority to oust Attorney
Shealy? Before this case is over; things are really going to get good
I believe, and why a conflict of interest is now being stated when it
has been previously ignored or not even a matter of concern? So has
this potato become too hot for human consumption; so it would be better
to pass it off for political reasons?

…

In addition, did Mr. Shealy really serve thirty-years and if not then
the editor may need to make a correction to their readers? God bless
everybody and he most certainly will!
