Freedom of speech for Conaway supporters

Posted by ameister on Thursday, January 5th, 2012

So the special prosecutor is not going to charge Frank Conaway with anything.  This part of the saga is over. I have learned a lot about the justice system in this city and I will share some of the behind the scenes aspects of it that few people know about in a future post. I still do not understand why an elected official who gets paid close to $100,000 a year gets to be home at around 10:30AM on a work day.

Frank Conaway straight up lied about me being on his property. I was never on his property and I never tried to kick him. I have said this from the start. I stand by every single word I posted in my original post about this matter. The citizens of Baltimore have to understand they have a man in office who straight up lies about his fellow citizen (me) and for some reason gets to have a concealed carry permit while average citizens get to fend for themselves without legal guns.  It is a shame that the mainstream media paints this as a feud between Frank Conaway and myself.  Other than Frank lying about me and his daughter suing me this has nothing to do with me. It has everything to do with the citizens of Baltimore, the leaders that rule over them, and the mainstream media’s unwillingness to do basic research that could expose so much.  The citizens of Baltimore should be outraged over what this blog revealed about local politicians in 2011. Many of our leaders are political bullies who reign like unquestioned dictators  by relying on low voter turnout (brought on by most of the population not giving a darn), short memories, and lack of being questioned by the media and general population.  Look what you can dig up on Google if you take two seconds to do a simple search.

Over the last couple of months there have been people who have insanely said that jogging in certain neighborhoods is wrong, that expressing your political views in public is wrong, and that writing about political leaders in a critical way is wrong.  It is scary to read how so many people have no clue about the freedoms ALL OF US HAVE in this country. In honor of these freedoms I have decided to provide you some quotes and video clips from Frank Conaway supporters. Like me, they can say what they want to say, walk where they want to walk, and the public can decide if they agree with them. There is a great deal of irony in some of their actions.

A few weeks ago some Conaway supporters including Aaron Wilkes (see some of his numerous comments on my blog here) showed up in front of my house and held a four person protest. They brought a toilet and a megaphone. They also flyered my block with anti-Adam Meister literature. The video is below (make sure you check out the end where Aaron states what he had previously posted):

Right after the Conaway gun story broke a few of his supporters posted their thoughts on Facebook.

This guy ran for City Council President:

Here is another opinion:

Chairman of the Baltimore Maryland House of Delegates delegation, 43rd district delegate Curt Anderson can be seen at the following Frank Conaway rally at the 36 second and 2:54 mark. Anderson seems to want to keep a low profile at this rally, but the world should know that he was at this circus.  I assure him this video will still be around in 2014. C.D. Witherspoon and Doc Cheatham are featured in this video:

Cortly Witherspoon and the presidency of the NAACP

Posted by ameister on Thursday, April 1st, 2010

I stumbled upon a facebook page dedicated to the candidacy of Reverend Cortly “C.D.” Witherspoon, Sr. I had no idea what position he was running for so I asked around and I heard some rumors about him running for president of the Baltimore chapter of the NAACP (The election is in November). I called Reverend Witherspoon to get the inside scoop on the matter. He did not deny that he was running. He said he was interested and was giving it some thought.

I also heard through the grapevine that he already is putting together a slate to run for other positions within the organization. All members get to vote in the election and it only costs $30 to be a member. Marvin “Doc” Cheatham is the current president of the Baltimore City chapter of the NAACP.

Report from Saturday’s Bmore United rally

Posted by ameister on Monday, February 22nd, 2010

The long awaited Bmore United rally took place on Saturday at 2PM. We gathered in front of City Hall and ended up in front of police headquarters. The crowd was late arriving and peaked at over thirty people. It was a good turnout.  The crowd had some notable people in it.

I arrived at 2PM (I ran down there) and NAACP local president Doc Cheatham was already there talking to rally organizer Chris Taylor. I have never seen Cheatham in such ordinary clothes. He was not his usual flamboyant self. He was polite and reserved the entire time. He was handing out yellow whistles with NAACP and census logos on them. He was trying to promote the Census. I also heard him mention his interest in running for a House of Delegate’s seat in the 44th district. I brought this subject up in a previous post of mine. He is a politically savvy man.

Aaron Keith Wilkes was also there when I arrived. The Darley Park resident wants to take over Council President Young’s former 12th district seat in City Council. The City Council gets to select Young’s replacement and people were mentioning that Carl Stokes will be selected by the council. I will write more about the 12th district on Tuesday, but it is typical of the City Council to want to appoint one of their own (an insider who has already been on the council and is friends with some members) instead of new blood.

When thirty people were there Chris Taylor gave a little speech, he wants people who support Bmore United’s version of change to run in every city council district in the 2011 election. Everyone gathered in a circle and held hands as a man said a very long prayer to Jesus. The hand holding thing really was not necessary and it bothered me on a lot of levels. The mixing of Church and State is a technique of the establishment and I would advise all “rebel groups” to try and avoid it.

Participants were then given signs and we marched to police headquarters. Many cars honked in support as they drove by. Investigative Voice had three people covering the event.  Here is Investigative Voice’s summary of the rally. They were also giving out flyers for their one year anniversary event that will take place at Red Maple this Wednesday at 6PM. Sheila Dixon will be the special guest (this will be her first public appearance since she left office). Tickets are $20.

I know there was a candidate for Baltimore City Sheriff there. I think it was Frances Hamilton. A man named Gary M. Collins was also there. I had seen Mr. Collins at the Dixon Pension Protest also. Collins is a 3rd councilmanic representative on the Baltimore City Republican Central Committee. He is young, smart, and energetic. I got the feeling that he will run a serious campaign for City Council in the third district in 2011. I stress the word serious because Republicans usually do not try very hard in Baltimore. I predict that if he runs he will have the best showing for a republican in a city election in years.

The rally helped organize the growing Bmore United Movement. A sign up sheet was passed around. Chris Taylor hopes to have a future event with double the attendees. This movement is something to keep an eye on.
