URGENT MEDIA MESSAGE!!!!!
PLEASE FORWARD!!!!!!!
BOSTON MANDELA SCANDAL
ONE EXAMPLE OF RE-GENTRIFICATION
WHAT IF???
· You were an immigrant that migrated to the United States of America to pursue the American Dream. Obtained citizenship and lived as a model citizen for 46 years.
· After years of hard work and diplomacy, you achieved the American Dream and a sound financial standing as well. You were loved and supported by politicians, city officials, and socialites as well as everyday people.
· Suddenly, You make a conscious decision to aid a need of a ethnic community in dire need, which you do not generally belong to and to pay homage to one of their icons you paint a mural on the wall of YOUR building only to be told that the mural depreciates the property value of other homes and businesses in the surrounding area. If that was not insulting enough you then HAVE YOUR PROPERTY WHICH IS WORTH MILLIONS MORE THAN YOU ARE AWARE OF, SEIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT THROUGH BANKRUPTCY COURT.
· The tenants that you once secured affordable housing, medical, after-school programs and jobs for has not stepped forward and offered any letters of support, phone calls, or emails TO JUSTIFY YOUR FIGHT.
Because you have spent the majority of your time fighting for their causes and not your own nationalities efforts, they offer NO support at all either and you are faced with battling The Great Nation Of the USA alone.
· What once was The AMERICAN DREAM has turned into an AMERICAN NIGHTMARE resulting in your own financial, physical, and mental downfall and those who once supported you when you were worth millions are now as distant as the stars in the sky!!!!
WHAT WOULD YOU DO????
The story of Alphonse Mourad reads like one of John Grisham’s best sellers. With the Camaraderie of "The Firm", Illegal Scandals of "The Pelican Brief", the fight for justice as in "The Juror" and the struggle to survive it all as in "The Client".
Mr. Mourad's legal battles have continued for almost a decade, yet through his faith and conviction he continues to fight for the equality and justice within the American Constitution, which has more loopholes than a finely tailored suit.
We at Glory International in an effort to support Mr. Mourad and restore his faith in the people and our justice system, are asking all media outlets to show your patriotic support to Mr. Mourad as he fights what could ultimately be his last battle within the legal system on Friday, November 19, 2004 by offering any Legal, Financial Assistance, Assembling Press at the Hearing, Submitting Press Releases, Forwarding His Story to Colleagues or Any Other Means of Support.
Below is a brief summary of Mr. Mourad’s fight for justice.
