ACORN has been deducting $10 from my checking account for a few years now.  In November, 2009 I attempted to contact ACORN to stop the deductions but I have not been able to contact the organization by telephone and my emails have gone unanswered.  The $10 deduction has continued since November and it was again deducted from my checking account this month, February.  So since November, ACORN as deducted $40 from my account against my will.  I even contacted the Better Business Bureau in an attempt to get the deduction stopped, to no avail. 

 REVISED POSTING:

Dream sign - just up the hill from Fairfax, in Buckeye, Cleveland, Ohio

In honor of Langston Hughes, and his strong roots to Cleveland, and especially the Fairfax neighborhood where he lived in formative years, I am documenting what remains of his former community, so we may dream for a better community for all in NEO.

We haven’t heard the next barrage of fireworks from the tiff among the Cleveland Foundation, the Gund Foundation and the Fund for Our Economic Future but I’m wondering how much big salaries have to do with the Cleveland Foundation’s desire for more control.

Should a Fairfax room that Langston Hughes lived in for a couple of years be turned into a museum?  http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=a_museum_of_ones_own

I am sending this plea to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and Mayor Frank Jackson:

Women in labor under hypnobirth

This High Definition ambient film clip is of an expert hypnobirthing mother, during her third naturally-wonderful, perfect hypnobirth, January 31, 2010, in hard labor, fully dilated - no medications or medical intervantion, other than a midwife breaking her water, later - one hour and 10 minutes before the baby was delivered - where she falls asleep between strong contractions that are less than 2 minutes apart. She has been up the entire night before tiling a bathroom, has not slept, and was stressed until she began focusing on her hypnobirthing.

I went to a Greater Cleveland Partnership funded "community" meeting tonight...and the hypocrisy and lies were so thick I felt like I had to ethically/intellectually PUKE.

Most Americans have no idea what is happening to the economy. Many people think America is emerging from a vicious little recession, and will soon be back on the road to prosperity. America always has, so it always will, is the common reasoning.
