I honestly wouldn’t do half of the cool things I do to give back to kids or people in need if it wasn’t for her teaching n telling me why it’s so important. I truly have an awesome ,caring mom… n that’s something a lot of people don’t have. I’m so happy she is my partner in the Sean Anderson Foundation.” Check out pics in the gallery!

(Video) G.O.P. Goes In On Obama, “His Policies Don’t Work For The African Americans Who Voted For Him”.
Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky had a lot to say about the President, including that Obama’s policies don’t work for African Americans. On Sunday, Paul expressed his opposition for emergency unemployment benefits in an interview for Fox News. He also went on to promote his “Economic Freedom Zones” plan for lower taxes in Detroit. This plan would turn zipcodes with high unemployment rates into zones, where federal income taxes would be reduced. Democrats feel this is a ploy for G.O.P. to gain support from minorities, but feels that this plan is a back handed assistance. Democrat Thomas Stallworth of Detroit expressed what he feels would be good for his city, saying: “we need investment in our communities that bring good paying jobs, and funding for education and training.” To check out Rand Paul’s interview, click below.
Fast-Food Workers Protest To Raise Minimum Wage
Washington, New York and Detroit – only three of the 100+ cities participating in a protest to raise the federal minimum wage. “Fight for 15,” seems to be fast-food workers’ motto. All around the country, we have workers on strike, walking into work with pick-it signs, chanting slogans such as, “hey hey, ho ho, $7.40 has got to go!” Tyeisha Batts, 27, protesting in New York makes $7.25hr. “My boss took me off the schedule because she knows I’m participating,” to raise the minimum wage to $15hr. States, such as, New Jersey, California, and Connecticut have changed the amount in what they are paying for the bare minimum. I guess that’s a start. These people may have some luck. In a city like New York, where $7.25 won’t get you far at all, officials need to commit. Especially with Presidet Obama lowering the hours a part-time worker is allowed.
