The title of this particular blog ( ' We’re not going back! ' ) comes from the words use in a historic speech made in the United States of America in the year of 2024 around August the 22nd. I remember the speech clearly, because I was actually watching the broadcast of the person who made it on a digital television.
(Note: The names of the Male & Female Candidates are withheld to pursue a fair election process within the United States of America.)
It was made by a lady who develop extra ordinary abilities in a country that was 248 years old that year. This place evolved many people who individually had extra ordinary abilities as well. Based on the rules or laws of their lands or country, they all had the right to choose their leaders.
This integrity, called an ineligible right, starting at the age of 18 years old for people of all races, creeds, colors, national origins whether male or female of course, who were registered United States of America Citizens.
However, some people in this very powerful and blessed lands did not always used that power for one reason or another. Yet, the power to decide not to vote was very real too, with dire consequences.
The images above were taken in the parking lot of Big Bethel AME Church which was established in 1847 &
located in Atlanta, Georgia USA. This date was Saturday, September 14th 2024.
Individuals, People & Organizations supported the voter registration event in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
Rev. Bessie Donaldson, a Local Ordained Minister Emeritus of Big Bethel AME Church was interviewed by C. Henry Adams Blogs.
Since 2009, we have written over 360 blogs talking about life in the USA & business. In
this election season, we would like to ask a few questions and
report our findings.
C. Henry Adams Blogs:
On
Saturday, September 14th 2024, we were at the Voter Registration Drive
in the parking lot of Big Bethel AME Church
of Atlanta, Georgia.
Rev. Bessie Donaldson: Having witnessed this historic event, I recognized a huge bus or RV
from the Fulton County Georgia Government; someone said that people ( Living in Fulton or Cobb Counties ) who
wish to register to vote , check their registration status or learn more
about voter registration machines could visit the vehicle.
C. Henry Adams Blogs: Is this
correct?
Rev. Bessie Donaldson:
Yes. There were several Voter Registrars on site, including myself,
that made themselves available to register new comers requesting to
register to vote in the upcoming election . The Official Registrars were
also able to check voting statuses to make sure names had not been
purged from the voters eligible list and to share information about the
voting process, including explanation about voting machines.
There were
also handouts of approved days for voting.....early voting, mail in
voting, and in person voting.
October 25 is the deadline for requesting
a mail-in voting app.
October is the beginning of Early voting.
The
actual voting day is November 5 for the general election. Information
was shared with the guests about voting locations for early voting and
regular voting.
C. Henry Adams Blogs: We understand the first day of early voting in the historic Presidential Election
is
October 15, 2024? What are other voting days?
Rev. Bessie Donaldson: As
mentioned above, October 15th is the Early Voting date. October 25th is
the last day to request a mail-in ballot, and the actual general voting
date is November 5th, the day after my 81's year on this earth. So you
know I'm celebrating because my birthday present is that the 1st
African American Female President will be victoriously called to the
podium to thank God's people for trusting in her capabilities. WE ARE
NOT GOING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
