WHEREAS;
Today, as the campaigning for the upcoming Illinois Governor's Race November continuing with various appearances in the Black community by the candidates for Governor - the ONLY people benefiting from the multi millions of dollars being spent by the campaigns of Governor Quinn and Bruce Rauner are the major media outlets who are telling voters through their respective attack ads why NEITHER may not have the best records and worthy of being Governor,
At a Black Political Economic Agenda Summit held at Robeson High School in Chicago's Englewood community back on May 17th Over 100 attendees voted UNANIMOUSLY on specific short term and long term economic agenda's submitted by Mark Allen, Chairman of National Black Wall Street Chicago and Arness Dancy, President of The Chicagoland Black Chamber Of Commerce that would address short term economic solutions with regard to the campaign spending from each campaign, as well as a long term economic agenda presented by the Illinois and Chicagoland Black Chamber Of Commerce;
Recently National Black Wall Street Chicago released the "30 Day Community ECONOMIC agenda to be submitted to both Quinn and Rauner campaigns requesting that they publicly announce that within the next 30 days we expect to SEE millions of these dollars being publicly committed NOW directly within the Black community with real campaign offices with real workers being paid and managed from the community versus playing off free or in-kind office space from Black political leaders; far too many in the Black business community are going through desperate economic situations that only real dollars that businesses, workers etc can actually SEE;
We want them both to announce that major dollars are being targeted within the next 30 Days to be spent DIRECTLY with the Black communities own major and small media outlets including non traditional grassroots Black media; that millions are being directed to Black professional service providers;
There are far too many campaign appearances by both candidates with the community which the communities visitied are in the same desperate economic and double digit unemployment conditions, before, during and after each campaign visit and that has to IMMEDIATELY change within these next 30 Days;
As I look back on some of the community education forums of years past including my own community organizing days with then community organizer Barack Obama, we were taught to educate voters that one of the best ways to judge how a candidate will spend dollars if they are elected is to carefully examine how they spend the dollars from their campaigns, THUS this "30 Day Campaign Investment Pledge"
The realities of government are uncertain but what campaigns have under their own direct control is much more certain and must be challenged no matter which party is campaigning, thus the Black community MUST SEE within these next 30 Days that both Quinn and Rauner are committing to bring the Black community real campaign investment dollars they can actually SEE and as worthy of their vote, for anything less than that is actually SYMBOLISM with no SUBSTANCE;
Following the 30 day investment commitment pledge FIRST, only AFTER that public pledge should the Black community take seriously any uncertain campaign promises by either Quinn or Rauner;
I have personally witnessed the private and public debate from my friends who are allies of both Quinn and Rauner that there support is really more personal, party, and philosophical than because of a very specific agenda to be measured; so it is important for groups like National Black Wall Street Chicago, The Illinois and Chicago Black Chamber Of Commerce to promote an agenda that is neither Democratic or Republican but ECONOMIC which is why AGAIN we are submitted these agenda's for the ECONOMIC benefit of the Black community for right now business, jobs and resources for Quinn and Rauner to be judged on some SPECIFIC agenda that transcends relationships personality or party;
Its frustrating and somewhat insulting maybe that on so many levels that very strong supporters of both Quinn and Rauner have presented no "ten point plan" of specifics on why they currently endorse either and that must change in order to have a spirited debate over who has best shown how they have invested their campaign resources directly into the Black community in the short term, and present very specific outlines of the proposed economic commitments if elected;
The short term economic agenda supported by the leadership of Mark Allen, veteran activist and Chairman of National Black Wall Street Chicago if adopted by Quinn and Rauner within the next 30 Days could bring MILLIONS of new dollars in local job creation and boost in the economic support for so many deserving Black community businesses and professional service providers and thats something our community can SEE; and the 5 BILLION DOLLAR ECONOMIC PLAN led by the leadership of Arness Dancy, veteran activist and President of The Chicagoland Black Chamber Of Commerce absolutely
lays the foundation for long term major historic economic investment for the long term development of the Black community;
If Quinn and Rauner wont publicly commit ECONOMIC dollars within the next 30 days to the Black community that we can SEE based on the respective agenda outlines, then they BOTH are not to be trusted by providing nothing more than symbolic photo ops in their future appearances campaigning in the Black community;
Finally, Mark Allen personally have never met Bruce Rauner but glad that there are Black allies within his campaign who suggested that National Black Wall Street Chicago would be an excellent strategic choice for candidate Bruce Rauner to appear and respond to our submitted agenda' of specifics, and further answer the Black critics who says he has yet to offer any specific proposals that outline any of his vision that if elected would be benefit the Black community and so we accept the invitation to have Bruce Rauner publicly outline some of his specific proposals to be vetted by the Black community;
And, Mark Allen as a veteran political activist, has known and worked with Governor Pat Quinn and so many of his strongest Black leadership supporters for over 30 years and expects that these long term relationships will be enough to convince the Governor to also visit National Black Wall Street Chicago in the historic Black 47th Street Black Wall Street District in Bronzeville and also positively respond to this 30 Day Black Political Economic Agenda Challenge.
