ALUMNI & FRIENDS

VSU Colleagues-    Happy New Year! I hope all is well. My name is Sirocus Barnes and I am the president of the VSU Alumni Association. I am writing to invite you to a  special event to provide feedback to VSU.   President Carvajal issued a call for a comprehensive university planning effort at the Celebration of Inclusion on September 18, 2020. The Diversity and Inclusion Comprehensive Planning Task Force is charged with “gathering broad input through listening sessions and other means, and then using that input to identify and prioritize VSU’s areas of greatest challenge and create a clear plan for improvement.”    I am leading the alumni and community sub-group. We will be hosting a listening session for alumni on Tuesday, February 16 at 6:30pm.    I’d encourage everyone to attend if you are available. In order for us to gather broad input, we need as many people from our alumni community to attend these sessions.  See below the link to the Zoom meeting.   Thank you and I look forward to connecting with you soon! Go Blazers!    Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/92309908082?pwd=SFhaOVBnSmJGSmtVaWNTcjVYclViQT09 Meeting ID: 923 0990 8082 Passcode: 320032 One tap mobile +13126266799,,92309908082#,,,,*320032# US (Chicago) +19294362866,,92309908082#,,,,*320032# US (New York)   Dial by your location         +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)         +1 929 436 2866 US (New York)         +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)         +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)         +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)         +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) Meeting ID: 923 0990 8082 Passcode: 320032 Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/atr3eWOgl   If you are unable to attend or would like to provide written feedback, please do so at this link.    Sirocus Barnes, VSU Alumni Association President

OUR MOVEMENT IS GROWING... BOOT TEXAS REPUBLICANS.

 David,

Please take a minute to read this.

February is a tough month for political campaigns and organizations. So many of us worked overtime to beat Donald Trump in November and then flip the Senate in January.

But the truth is, Republicans are already working around the clock to make sure they win big in 2022. We can’t afford to take our eye off the ball or throw in the towel right now. We’ve got to dig deep and keep pushing until Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, and other Republicans who’ve openly attacked our democracy are held accountable.

In just a few short months, Boot Texas Republicans has received tens of thousands of petition signatures to hold Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz accountable for their attacks on Texas and our democracy.

We’ve also received thousands of contributions from fired-up Texans who are ready to beat Abbott and Cruz at the ballot box.

Our movement is growing, David.

Just a few days ago, a report showed Abbott’s polling in the gutter. His attacks on voting rights, full-throated support of Donald Trump, and botched handling of COVID-19 is catching up with him.

And a growing national call to rescind contributions to Ted Cruz could end Cruz’s political career before he’s up for re-election.

Let’s keep pushing!

Boot Texas Republicans

REMEMBERING TRUMP. PAST POSTS THAT REMIND US OF THE "REAL DONALD TRUMP.": PENNSYLVANIA: REMEMBER THIS ARTICLE ON THE 2016 ELECTION? DON'T LET TRUMP AND HIS GANG OF REPUBLICAN TRAITORS, AIDED BY MOSCOW, HURT YOUR STATE ANY FURTHER.

LUCKILY FOR ALL CITIZENS OF THE U.S., WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, AND PENNSYLVANIA WOULD NOT BE VICTIMIZED BY FASCIST RUSS-PUBLICANS IN ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. TO BAD FLORIDA AND OHIO DON'T SEEM TO CARE.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

THE SPECIAL ELECTION ON MARCH,13,2018 IN PENNSYLVANIA HAD THE DEMOCRATS FEELING CONFIDENT...

REALLY? HOW ABOUT THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. 

IS THE STATE PARTY LEADERSHIP ACTUALLY 

GOING TO PAY ATTENTION: THIS TIME!!!!

HERE ARE THE RESULTS FROM 2012 AND 2016                       

ELECTION RESULTS FOR PRESIDENT.                                      

PENNSYLVANIA- 2012 ELECTION. TOTAL # OF DEMOCRAT\REPUBLICAN VOTES: 5,670,708.

TOTAL DEMOCRATIC VOTES- 2,990,274.

TOTAL REPUBLICAN VOTES- 2,680,434.

MARGIN OF DEMOCRATIC VICTORY- 309,840 VOTES.

PENNSYLVANIA- 2016 ELECTION.  TOTAL # OF DEMOCRATIC/REPUBLICAN VOTES: 5,897,174.  UP +226,466 VOTES FROM 2012 ELECTION.

TOTAL DEMOCRATIC VOTES- 2,926,441 VOTES, LOSS OF 63,833 VOTES FROM 2012 ELECTION.

TOTAL REPUBLICAN VOTES-  2,970,733 VOTES, GAIN OF +290,299 VOTES.

HERE IS A BREAKDOWN:

The TOTAL # OF  DEMOCRAT/REPUBLICAN VOTES INCREASED +226,466 votes from

2012-2016.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LOST 63,833 VOTES BETWEEN 2012 AND 2016, OR ABOUT -2.1%. In itself, that's 

not a drastic decline. It would be considered a result that is well within normal expectations.

HOWEVER, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NUMBERS ARE ANOTHER MATTER. AN INCREASE OF +290,299 VOTES REPRESENTS ABOUT AN + 10.8% INCREASE.

This number, (+290,299), is more than 4 times the number 

of votes that the Democrats lost.

TO ACHIEVE THE TOTAL OF 2,970,733 VOTES IN 2016, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NEEDED A SCENARIO LIKE THE FOLLOWING TO HAPPEN:

EVERY SINGLE VOTER WHO CAST A BALLOT FOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IN 2012, HAD TO DO SO AGAIN IN 2016: 2,680,434 VOTES.

EVERY NEW VOTER WHO CAST A BALLOT FOR EITHER THE DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, HAD TO CHOOSE REPUBLICAN: +226,466 VOTES.

THAT TOTAL= 2,906,900 IS STILL SHORT OF THE "OFFICIAL" TOTAL OF 2,970,733 VOTES.

HOW COULD THIS BE? THE REPUBLICANS WERE STILL 63,833 VOTES SHORT OF THE FINAL NUMBER. WELL, GO BACK A FEW PARAGRAPHS AND CHECK OUT THE NUMBER OF VOTES THE DEMOCRATS LOST FROM 2012-2016= -63,833.

TO ACHIEVE A TOTAL OF 2,970,733 VOTES IN 2016, HERE IS RUNDOWN OF WHAT THE REPUBLICANS NEEDED TO HAPPEN:

EVERY REPUBLICAN VOTER FROM 2012, RETURNS AND VOTES REPUBLICAN AGAIN IN 2016: 2,680,434.

EVERY NEW VOTER WHO SELECTS EITHER DEM.\REP. IN 2016, CHOOSES REP.: 226,466.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 63,833 VOTERS THE DEM. PARTY LOST BETWEEN 2012- 2016, RETURNS TO THE POLLS AND VOTES REPUBLICAN.

2,680,434 + 226,466 + 63,833 = 2,970,733.

THIS IS LUDICROUS. NO REASONABLE INDIVIDUAL WHO LOOKS AT THESE NUMBERS COULD TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY. 

THIS ELECTION WAS A SHAM. 

DON'T TAKE MY WORD, GO OVER THE RESULTS CAREFULLY. 

DEMOCRATS IN PENNSYLVANIA: DON'T BE SCAMMED AGAIN!!!

...AND THEY WEREN'T!!!

TRUMPIANS, RUSS-PUBLICANS, AND TRUMPOCRATS FAIL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...AGAIN.

SO WITH ALL THE EVIDENCE BROUGHT FORTH BY HOUSE DEM. IN THE 2ND TRUMP IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, A TRIAL CONCERNING TRUMPS ACTIONS IN LEADING AN INSURRECTION TO OVERTURN A LEGAL ELECTION, SENATE DEMOCRATS DECIDE NOT TO CALL A SINGLE WITNESS.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE VERY PROUD. YOU DID YOUR DUTY, AND WERE FAITHFUL TO YOUR OATH.

SENATE DEMOCRATS, I MEAN SENATE "TRUMPOCRATS," YOUR JOB IN BETRAYING YOUR PARTY, YOUR CONSTITUENTS, AND LIKE THE RUSS-PUBLICAN PARTY, YOUR COUNTRY, IS ALMOST COMPLETE. 

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

LOOKING BACK AT THE 2ND TRUMP IMPEACHMENT TRIAL...

"DO YOU REMEMBER THE TESTIMONY THAT WAS SOLICITED FROM A WITNESS THAT VERIFIED THAT THIS WAS STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY..."

'...Pressed again to “commit to making sure that there’s a peaceful transferal of power,” Trump responded, “Get rid of the ballots and...we’ll have a very peaceful—there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation."

OH, WAIT...SENATE DEMOCRATS DECIDED WITNESSES WEREN'T NECESSARY. I GUESS TRYING TO OVERTHROW A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT ISN'T THAT IMPORTANT.

TRUMPIANS, RUSS-PUBLICANS, TRUMPOCRATS...WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

TO RECENTLY ELECTED SENATE DEMOCRATS: I HOPE YOU LIVE UP TO OATH YOU TOOK. PRE-2016 DEM. U.S. SENATORS HAVE SOLD OUT YOUR PARTY, AND THEIR CONSTITUENTS.
