The Locked Door with No Key: Why Ohio’s SB 153 Threatens Our Voting Rights Imagine being told you must enter a building to access your rights—to speak, to be counted, to shape the laws that govern your life. The door is locked, and you're told you need a key. But no one will tell you what kind of key you need. Some folks bring house keys. Others arrive with driver’s licenses, birth certificates, even passports. They jiggle them in the lock—nothing works. They aren’t denied because they’re unqualified. They’re denied because the rules changed without explanation. This is the danger behind Ohio’s Senate Bill 153 (SB 153)—a bill that hasn’t passed yet , but is already knocking on our community’s door. What Is SB 153? SB 153 is a proposed law—not yet passed —currently being considered by Ohio’s state legislature. It would require all voters to prove their citizenship before casting a ballot. That may sound fair on the surface—but the bill doesn’t define what “proof of citizenship” ac...

Gypsy festival

Gypsy festival/
Local talent share their skills/
A beautiful site/

I was invited down to Cincy to take part in the Gypsy festival. It was a beautiful event, and  I will be at the next event. For those that don't know the Gypsy lounge has a spot in cincy and columbus ohio.
They invited local talent from all over the state to share what they do. The poets, Hip-Hop artist, R&B, Jazz,Rock, and etc..
I want to first send out shouts to Gypsy lounge for putting on the event (especially Abdi and Zee). Then I need to send out some shots for Rasul the Knowbody that helped get me there.
KnowVernacular slam team put it down sharing there soul with some powerful pieces (coach Jugh Jeffner, Lotus Blossom, and Kari) giving out a mix of soul and truth. There was a Rock band that laid down some hot shit, known Grey Leaves.
Unfortunately my phone died on the way down so I didn't get no pics, but I want to send props out to ShyRony (to check out some of their music hit them up @ reverbnation.com/ShyRony) for putting on a hot set. Beautiful young ladies and I will write some more on them in the future when I do another salute to local artist.
Hey, summer is coming and it is time to turn off the radio and get out and support local artist. They can only get as good as their support. So that means they need to make money, so get  out and support what you like. Start demanding that your local radio station plays more local artist. You dont find it strange that everywhere you go the same shit is on rotation. Where is the local flavor, and why isn't it being supported by the local media. The radio stations wanted us to get up and call our politicians to block the bill that would have them paying royalties to artist, now in return you need to demand that they start showcasing some local talent. If they don't lets just cut out the middleman that is trying  to force feed us bullshit through the airwaves.
