Today marks the anniversary of the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, which states:
In 1989, I helped persuade the Justice Department to sue Memphis, ending racist annexations that violated the Fifteenth Amendment. In 2005, I helped halt unconstitutional residential annexations by the City of St. Augustine, Florida.
We SHALL overcome.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

It is a useless amendment when amendment 1 is ignored as it is here in Saint Augustine.
What good is the right to vote when your FREE SPEECH is prevented by a hijacked government?
The 'rule of law' without honest and equal enforcement is hopey changey ruse trash.
Happy Anniversary!
Keep on pretending!
