As a citizen, we should all be allowed to speak our concerns/wants to our representatives.

He is also another Black man -- and Black American.

Democrats have convinced us to abort millions in order to keep our pollution low and I'm someone you is pro choice. Neither party is for the empowerment of black people.

even people who aren't career politicians will pick one if they get close enough to even run for a high office. it is what it is. donald trump turned republican cuz that's what was going to win at the time.

Bro stfu. Ain’t nobody having a sit down with high ranking politicians unless you have power or wealth. What gives cube the thought he can skip in front of million of Americans that want to do the same thing?

But, they reached out to him though. He didn't call them. He put it out -- both teams reached out to him.

What made them think he was could skip?

Didn’t he reach out to Biden and they said we’ll talk after the election?
And even in the tweet in the OP he says he’s been reaching out to the congresswoman and hasn’t heard back. Try to reach out to a person in congress and see if you ever get anything back but a cut and paste email at best. He seems under the impression that politicians should take him serious. But he hasn’t given a reason why?
He just talks mad vaguely. Not enough teeth? What does that even mean in this context?

Long story short, both parties reached out to Cube.

The Repubs asked to use some of his plan in the platinum plan, the Dems told him we'll talk after the election.

As far as Sheila Jackson Lee, she's a horrible rep, we(ADOS) have been calling her by the droves demanding HR 40 get Dr Darity's edits to no avail. The "teeth" Cube is likely referring to, is that the bill has no minimum allocation and that it isn't specifically for ADOS.

I agree to a point..


But Cube is just attempting to fill a clear leadership vacuum because Black politicians, clergy and intellectuals have failed us.

Instead of being angry at Cube, you should be more angry at our conditions.

From my understanding, he posted his plan on Twitter. I guess people @ both parties -- and he said they both called (reached out ) him -- and requested to meet.

He met with reps from both parties. Repub were like can we take some of this and add mixed it with ours -- he said he told them Sure, whatever. He didn't know what they were gonna take or use.

Then the Dems said they liked 85% of the plan -- but they would talk about it after the election.

I get what you are saying -- but I feel like everyone should be taken serious -- until proven they shouldn't. He didn't do anything wrong,

He didn't endorse, tell anyone to endorse -- nor try to suppress votes - by telling anyone not to vote.

I have reached out via email, call, fax -- and meet with local and state reps. You can meet with Congressmen/women -- it takes a lot of calling and the reps willingness to meet with you though.

Mrs. Jackson has been contacted by hundreds of people about the H.R. 40 edits -- and she hasn't responded to anyone. So, Cube using his platform to call her out was everything to me.

On the "teeth" thing -- this is what he is talking about. Here are the edits we are requesting via Dr. Darity.
