[Vision2020] Plan in Action

[J Ford]

Influence = the act or power of producing an effect without apparent 
exertion of force or direct exercise of command: corrupt interference with 
authority for personal gain; the power or capacity of causing an effect in 
indirect or intangible ways

Informing =  to make known; to communicate knowledge to; to impart 
information or knowledge; to give information (as of another's wrongdoing)


No one has a gun to your head and no one is trying to force you to believe 
what you obviously do not wish to believe.  I am imparting information for 
the sake of informing the public of what a man of Wilson's "influence" is 
really all about.

If this were a politician who was blaming his actions on his underlings, 
running illegal operations out of homes, encouraging tax-evasive actions for 
their "constituents", etc.  I'd venture to guess you'd be one of the first 
in line saying "he's gotta go!"  What Wilson is doing is morally repugnant 
and ethically despicable.  What makes it worst is that he does it behind the 
shield of being an ordained/anointed minister - WHICH (again) HE IS NOT!!!

He influences votes and policies that this community has to live with and 
under.  People have lost jobs, homes, family due to him and his 
words/actions.

Take it or don't - I really could care less.  But don't expect that people 
will stop talking about it or writing here about it.  This mess has made 
headlines and blog sights across the country.  You want it to stop here, 
right here, where it is happening?  Who's head is in what sandbar?
