I am only presenting three of the more than 3000 that is going on this week end.</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content"><span style="font-style:italic;"><br /></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content"><span style="font-style:italic;">But if you think I made a mistake and got the dates backwards, believe me, I didn't. President Barack Obama comes first. And the <strong>Obama Boot Camp</strong> is a key event to participate in. I would rather they have to turn people away because too many showed up; or to have to schedule an additional workshop, than to not have enough people involved. We are responsible for making sure each and every one of us turn out. We lost the mayoral election in 2010 because only 20% of Brooklyn showed up. Can't have any more days like that. So this is the most important event of the weekend, bar none. <br /> <br /> No offense to my other brothers and sisters at AAWIC and NBWC, because all of your programs have relevance to us as a people, individually and collectively. But somehow we have to make it our business to be at that <span style="font-weight:bold;">OBAMA BOOTCAMP</span>, as well, because we cannot assume we know everything we need to know to defeat the Republicans and effect a victory. <br /> <br /> DATE: Saturday,March 31, 2012: <br /> WHAT: <span style="font-weight:bold;">CAMP OBAMA</span> - Brooklyn's own Get Out The Vote For Obama Boot Camp<br /> WHEN: 12:00 Until<br /> WHERE: 790 McDonough Ave. @ Saratoga Ave. - Refreshments will be served<br /> WHO: Presented by District Leader,and 2012 Delegate to the Democratic National Convention <span style="font-weight:bold;">Robert Cornegy</span>, in conjunction with VIDA (Vann Guard Independent Democrats Association) and</span> <strong>OBAMA FOR AMERICA 2012 COMMITTEE.</strong> <span style="font-style:italic;"><br /> This is one of the best Get Out the Vote (GOTV) training camps ever and is organized to help us help President Obama be re-elected. It's free and open to Brooklyn residents and those who wish to work in President Obama's campaign. The Republicans have shown us that they have absolutely no regard or respect for Americans - whether they are Black or white; and even less respect for the best president this country has ever had, Barack Hussein Obama. Take the time to learn the strategies that the Obama Team has put together so that we in Brooklyn are at our most effective level ever.<br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">CONTACT: Robert Cornegy 347-385-8074.</span> <br /></span> <br /> <br /> DATE: Thursday, March 29, 2012<br /> WHAT: <span style="font-weight:bold;">PREVIEW SCREENING & LIVE EVENT</span><br /> Woman Thou Art Loosed!: On the 7th Day<br /> WHERE: Museum of Moving Image, 36-01 35 Avenue, Astoria, NY 11106<br /> WHEN<span style="font-weight:bold;">: 7:00 p.m.<br /> WHO: AAWIC: AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN IN CINEMA</span><br /> Featuring Director Neema Barnette!<br /> The second film in Pastor TD Jake’s inspiring Woman Thou Art Loosed! series, On the 7th Day, is a gripping thriller and family drama filmed in New Orleans.
