http://www.allthingsdemocrat.com/2014/02/adeshina-for-president-democrat-republican-who-knows/

Yinka Abosede Adeshina has filed with the FEC as a Democratic Party candidate for President in the 2016 election. This may or may not be her picture. Her “candidacy” is taking some Scrigna-like turns that leave doubts that she’s a serious candidate.

Adeshina filed as a Republican Party candidate for President in the 2012 election. She was selling bumper stickers; wonder how that went. She didn’t list the year or party on the stickers, so she can re-use them in 2016

~ snip ~

She writes that she is married with two children. According to her LinkedIn profile, she has a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree (1997). Not sure if she’s employed at the moment but she lists (on her site) positions with CVS pharmacy and a hospital.

One site lists an employer as Opeola, LLC. LinkedIn’s entry for Opeola, LLC lists Adeshina as the “Manager”. Opeola LLC can be found in numerous business listings in, apparently, the two locations where she’s lived: Hoovers, Find the Company, Florida Companies Info, ISHCC, and many more.

THINGS I WILL DO FOR YOU AS YOUR PRESIDENT AND ASSEMBLYMAN.
$15.00 minimum wage. Legalize Marijuana and Tax the sale. Free Internet College for all under and graduate degrees. It is time that anyone who wants to be a lawyer, nurse, doctor, or any degree is free on the internet for all, including books. No killing at the animal shelters. 100,000+ of new modular apartments where the rent is no more than $200 for a 1 bedroom in NJ. No more car insurance a $400 flat rate insured by the State. I would stop all flights from West Africa and quarantine anyone who arrives from West Africa for 21 days. No federal tax for federal workers. No state tax for city & state workers. World’s largest Casino in the Meadowlands owned by the Atlantic City casinos, legalize sports betting at your lottery machines and use the revenue to open 100 charter schools with union teachers in NJ. We will make the schools in NJ the best in the world. Dogs allowed in restaurants and clubs like they are in France. Equal rights for everyone. Funding for Autism. No cell phone towers within 1000 feet of any homes or office. I want anyone who wants to own a gun to be able to, as long as it is legally done. I have a lot of other great ideas to make this state and the country best it can be.

Growing up in a lower, middle-class family in the mid-west, my parents and other adults were all aware of the family of four income and what jobs and college majors would likely provide such an income. There was little interest in jobs that paid millions, but great interest in jobs that allowed you to raise a family, own a house and a car in a safe neighborhood with good schools, a hospital, a church and convenient shopping. In fact, an interest in wealth beyond that was considered tawdry at best and dismissed with lines such as, "We don't want that kind of money."

This was an outgrowth of the efforts of the World War II generation who came home from war to create an economy that included jobs with family of four incomes, security, 40-hour work weeks, vacations, insurance, retirement, pension plans, and social security. They provided good schools, immunizations and doctor's checkups for their kids, and they saw pets and family vacations as important to raising children. They also supported unions to help guarantee the whole family of four system. My father would leave work decisively everyday at five to go home for dinner and take care of his family. We always expected him at six minutes after five. His insistence on leaving not earlier or later than five was part of the discipline that the World War II generation agreed was necessary to create the family of four economy. It was not "greed is good": it was good-hearted and family oriented. It was the true right wing. The right wing that people feel nostalgia for that was destroyed by Reagan and the broken right wing that has followed him. It was not the right wing that would bury the family of four income and attack job security, 40-hour work weeks, vacations, insurance, retirement, pension plans, and social security. It was a generation that kept a wary eye on the wealthy, recognizing the sneers, spin and frozen countenances of the greedy.

Since Reagan all of that has diminished significantly as the wealthy have continued to take more and more family of four incomes out of their companies, their communities, and the stockholders pockets, and put it in the pockets of the upper 10%. There is no excuse for it. It is not based on family values; it is not based on the family of four income; it is based on personal greed. Trickle down is as much of a joke to them as is the claim that cutting the taxes for the rich will create jobs. Both are snide dismissals of a thinking public who recognize that trickle down and cutting the taxes on the rich are merely more hands in their pockets taking away the wealth that they have rightfully earned and which deserves to go to their families. There is no trickle down and the wealthy do not create jobs.

Let's assume for the sake of easy math that a family of four income is $50,000 per year. With that figure in mind, we can note that each $100,000 executive bonus takes 2 family of four incomes out of the company, the community, and U.S. economy. Every seven figure annual income takes 20 family of four incomes out of the company, the community, and the U.S. economy every year. Every nine figure annual income takes 200 family of four incomes out of the company, the community, and the U.S. economy every year. One $25,000,000 severance package for failed performance takes 520 family of four incomes out of the company, the community and the U.S. economy every time.

NOTE: The FEC records have him listed as Braul

https://www.democracyamendmentusa.net/

Democracy Amendment Author Harry Braun
Registers his 2016 Democratic Presidential Campaign
​with the Federal Elections Commission

Senior scientist Harry Braun has organized his 2016 Democratic Presidential Campaign as a Constitutional Convention to change the USA from being a bribery-based oligarchic Republic to a majority-rule Democracy that will make government secrecy and bribery illegal, by using the Article V Citizen Ballot on this website to both pass and ratify the Democracy Amendment Braun has proposed, long before ​the next unverified elections are held in 2016.

The staggering problems that have resulted from the bribery-based American Republic have been well documented in the scientific literature as well as in the cover stories above by Time, including the unnecessary oil-induced Poisoning of America and Global Climate Change that represents two of the major factors that are causing the Earth's 6th Mass Extinction event, which is now in its final exponential stages, given the 3-billion year old global ocean ecosystem has been destroyed in one generation. It's why there is a genuine sense of urgency for the majority of American citizens who are registered voters need to take action now, while there is hopefully still time to make a difference.

In the latest instance of two handguns showing up at security checkpoints on the same day at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, a pair of travelers Friday found themselves diverted to Clayton County Jail, authorities said.

~ snip ~

Harry William Braun, 63, of Canton was arrested Friday morning after security discovered a loaded .22-caliber Phoenix Arms semi-automatic in a carry-on bag, according to an Atlanta Police Department incident report.

An X-ray operator spotted the gun on his monitor and alerted police.

“Mr. Braun stated that when he tried to go through the checkpoint he did not [realize] the handgun was in his carry-on bag because the handgun belonged to his wife,” police said.
