The Oakland Police Department and Oakland Housing Authority Police (who nobody wants to take ownership on), have gone too far. I was at home, in my bedroom, UNARMED. WOW!!!! Mr. Pete said last night in City Council, Oakland Police Department has gone too far. Good Morning: This morning I accessed the web on Google and found the story about my tasing.

Developing the minds of young people has been my goal in life. After being a paraprofessional for 24 years, I know that you have to meet young people where they are. The best thing about being positive, it NOT being negative. I look for the best in youth. May I suggest to you the Education Partnership Committe that will meet Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 4:00. There you may voice your concerns about the Youth of Oakland United and Trained To Help and to Heal. As for the Youth City Council...I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way; Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense a pride to make it easier. Let the children's laughter remind us how we use to be. Everybody's search for a hero (Are you one?). People need someone to look up to. Thank God when I was growing up I had as a hero Mayor Richard Gordon Hatcher, the first Black Mayor of a major metropolitan City, Gary, Indiana, where I was born. You can't help where you are born, but you can thank the Creator for where you end up in life. The lessons may be hard, but they are for the making of you. My parents made sure that I folded flyers, passed out political materials, and participated in government. That is why I am the Lady that I am today. My hope is to expose the Youth Of Oakland, United and Trained To Help and to Heal to City government; what to do and what NOT to do. Ralph:

At this time, I see no value in such a program. I do however see value in OUSD actually providing students an education, maybe one that even includes a civics class. With OUSD graduating 12th graders who can not even function at an eighth grade level, we have more important problems than creating a Youth City Council.

However, the best thing about being positive is not being negative. Believe me the youth and I have been speaking before, during and after the council meetings. I am glad first of all to see them in the room. Secondly, I am glad that they had an opportunity to see policy at work and play. Finally, my hope is that they walked away from the table with more ideas like. Y.O.O.U.T.T.H.H. Youth Of Oakland, United and Trained To Help and to Heal: Developing the Minds of the Youth of Oakland. Perhaps you will help us to develop a Youth City Council, so that the Youth of Oakland will have a representative at every council meeting from every district. Hi Ralph:

They would have been better served had they heard some of the council discussion. How are you going to serve the youth if all the other support mechanisms have been decimated.
