You know, I was going to just let this go - but the more I get to thinking about it the more I'm asking myself, "Why?" Crooks & liars need to be called to justice and folks, I've been royally scammed by 'one of our own'. So rather than sit & stew over this anymore, I've decided to take it public. The following is the 100%, unembellished, cross-my-heart truth. Just facts, no exaggerations:
As just about everyone here knows, I have a plan that I'm focused on rolling out nation...wide. A plan to teach conservative office holders & candidates how to connect with ethnic-minority voters in their districts. A couple of months ago (October) I was invited to come present to the Gainesville, FL Tea Party, which I did. Another organizer in the Atlanta area wanted me to come & speak as well so he organized a small rally there too. Some of you on this page where at one or the other of those events.
The Atlanta rally was a full week after Gainesville. I stayed in Florida the entire week (at my own expense), then drove (6 hours!) to the Atlanta venue & spoke there; spent the night in a hotel, got up at 4am the next morning & drove back to FL then caught my flight home. Keep in mind - my broke behind is paying for all of this from my family's savings. (which I depleted to zero over a year ago)
The organizer for the Atlanta rally was a guy named Dominique Huff. He's another black-American who calls himself a conservative. At Atlanta they passed the hat around, as is typical, & those in attendance (only about 35 people) tossed in what they could to help cover some of my out-of-pocket. In addition a handful submitted slips to become monthly partners.
After the rally ended --even tho I had to be up in 5 hours to start driving-- I had to give Dominique a ride home. I dropped him off along with a couple of boxes to mail back to Colorado. In one of the boxes was an envelope with the donations in it. (around $300) Dominique was going to exchange the cash for a bank check and mail it to me the next day along with the new Partners slips. Its now January and that check never came.
The dude ripped me off. A 'conservative', who's meeting I came to AT HIS REQUEST & at MY expense. He kept every nickel and I just plain lost about $600 (that I don't have.) I've spent every dime of our savings, including our retirement, to launch this endeavor, I drive a beat up Nissan with 212,000 miles on it and am doing the majority of this with credit cards. And this dude stole my $300 worth of goodwill donations. I decided to point this out a few times on his personal Facebook wall --where he rails daily about corrupt and/or do-nothing conservative blacks-- so he unfriended and blocked me.
Well, there's around 31,000 of you. So if you'd care to visit Mr. Huff or send him a message that this isn't how we're supposed to treat one another, or call on him to do the right thing, or just generally let him know that people who talk about of both sides of their mouths such a fashion....conservatives to the world, soulless, unscrupulous backstabbers in real life....are a blight on society. If this is how we treat our own? We have no hope of winning a nation back. So if you decided you'd like to communicate that, well, ..what business is that of mine?
