Video of Quitman 10 + 2 Press Conference in Atlanta 23 January 2012 by voiceofthevoiceless1

From the YouTube description:

Senator Emanuel Jones is demanding “all charges are dropped”
against the Quitman 10. Reverend Joseph Lowery, Civil Rights Leader and Medal of Freedom recipient stated that “Everyone is in Jeopardy, as long as the Governor can suspend your term of office, no one is safe.” State Representative Tyrone Brooks, President of GABEO, stated that he “will take this case the U.S. Department of Justice”. GABEO will hold their winter conference on February 24-26 2012 in Quitman, Georgia and have planned a March and Rally on the courthouse to demand the charges be dropped and the suspension of their terms be lifted. Kevin Miles, Regional Director of NAACP, reminded the audience that the residents of Quitman were harassed and intimidated on their jobs and at their homes by officials about whom they voted for.

Dr. Dennard, one of The Quitman 10 and newly elected School Board President, stated that they have been accused of voter fraud, when all they did was go out, campaigned, and were elected by the people to office. Reverend Samuel Mosteller, President of Georgia Chapter of SCLC, stated that “your voting rights are in danger.” Others in attendance were Joe Beasley of Rainbow Push Coalition, Dianne Mathowitz with AIC, Peace and Justice Committee and members of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus.

George also wrote:
Moreover, the information proves; that I have been right from the start; that the South Georgia News Media (WHITEOUT MACHINE) would never publish such information to the citizens of South Georgia. Or that the citizens of Brooks County were the victim of alleged voter intimidation by the GBI among other things that the general public should have been informed about the Quitman 10 in their search for equal justice under the law in the State of Georgia.
George, of course, has been informing us all along, but not many others have.
