PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 15, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Actress, producer and businesswoman, Vivica A. Fox, will join chair of the Darby County PA Democratic Party, Richard Womack Jr, to host the DogonVillage.com's 2016 Democratic National Convention (DNC) Watch Party complete with dinner, dancing, DJ, and a live performance. Themed, "Celebrating the Black Vote," the soiree will be held Tuesday July 26, 2016 in the ballroom of the Sheet Metal Workers Union hall on Penns Landing in Philadelphia.

"I am excited to join with the Laborers' District Council of Philadelphia to celebrate the Black vote," says Fox. "Black voters turned out in record numbers in 2008 and again in 2012 resulting in the election of the first Black president. President Barack Obama has done an excellent job but we must make sure to vote in all elections to continue to keep our issues at the forefront," adds the star of blockbuster films like "Kill Bill," "Set It Off," and "Kingdom Come."

Ryan N. Boyer, business manager for Laborers' District Council of Philadelphia & Vicinity, the Presenting Sponsor of the watch party said, "It's an honor to celebrate those who fought for our right to vote, the hard-working individuals getting people to the polls, and most importantly, voters."

Boyer continues, "Recognizing our past contributions is a great way to get fired up to go out and mobilize voters. This election will determine America's direction on critical issues like livable wages, access to affordable healthcare, and safeguarding the power of labor unions to protect workers. Working together we can make history again."

In addition to providing a entertaining atmosphere for people to watch DNC activities taking place that night at the Philadelphia Convention Center, the event will bring together a diverse group of political thought leaders, organized labor, and community organizers from across the nation for networking and motivation. An aggressive social media campaign, #celebratingtheblackvote, will lead up to the event and culminate with the publishing of a Digital Guide to Champions of the Black Vote that will be displayed during the party.

"Since inception DogonVillage.com has strategically integrated online and offline advocacy. During the party we will interact with our social media networks throughout the night via our tweet wall and a live broadcast on FaceBook and Periscope," said Edrea Davis, founder of DogonVillage.com.

Although Fox stays busy acting in films, including the upcoming release of "Independence Day: Resurgence," expanding her hair collection, and launching a new lingerie line, she still finds time to promote voting. Over the years she has spoken about the importance of voting and warned of voter suppression tactics at events across the country and headlined a statewide get-out-the-vote tour focused on Black women hosted by the Florida Coalition on Black Civic Participation.

Along with his role as chair of the Darby Township Democratic Party, Womack is Darby Township Police Commissioner and also has a long history working in the organized labor movement. He currently serves as national vice president of the A. Philip Randolph Institute.

Reagan Economist Dr. Arthur Laffer Endorses U.S. Senate Candidate Tom Del Beccaro’s Flat Tax

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Jan. 20, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Tom Del Beccaro, former Chairman of the California Republican Party and U.S. Senate candidate, today announced Dr. Arthur Laffer's endorsement of Del Beccaro's nationwide and California flat tax.

"Tom Del Beccaro's tax plan would create millions more jobs in America. No state would benefit more from a low flat tax than California," said Dr. Laffer.

Laffer's endorsement of Del Beccaro's plan comes after national economists Stephen Moore, Larry Kudlow and Lew Uhler praised Del Beccaro for his national flat tax proposal.

"We need an economy that produces opportunity for all, not political favors for some. To do that, we must turn away from a tax code that picks winners and losers and move to a tax code that unleashes economic growth. Having the support from the nation's top economists is a privilege," said Del Beccaro. "With this team of supporters and advisors on my side, I know that the California's best days are ahead of us."

About Del Beccaro's Flat Tax Plan:

Tom Del Beccaro released his flat tax plan on Sept. 30, which includes:

1. The elimination of our current corporate tax system and to replace it with a 15.5-percent net business income tax with immediate expensing for business purchases and deductibility of wages and salaries.

2. The replacement of the current personal income tax with a flat rate 15.5-percent income tax on wages and salaries, capital gains, dividends, interest income and bequests. For a family of four, the first $48,000 of income is tax-free. Health care benefits should remain untaxed.

3. The elimination of all deductions except the standard deduction should be doubled.

4. The payroll tax should be retained but its cap eliminated thereby creating a true flat tax for all earners.

5. The elimination of the estate tax, Affordable Care Act taxes and all existing tariffs. The net business income tax would be applied to imports at the border.

6. Any change to this system, should require a three-fifths vote of both houses of Congress

That system would replace the 77,000 annotated page tax code we have today which benefits the rich to the exclusion of the poor.

About Tom Del Beccaro:
Tom Del Beccaro is a business and real estate lawyer, and the former Chairman of the California Republican Party. Tom is a contributor to Forbes.com and writes frequently about tax policy. Tom is Publisher of PoliticalVanguard.com, author of the new book "The Divided Era," which explains why America is so divided today and offers ideas on how to reduce political division, and "The New Conservative Paradigm."

Why Donald Trump’s Bid for Presidency Related to New Art Movement is Essential? Artist Kaloust Guedel Explains

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 14, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- We've all heard the phrase, "Art imitates life." And it could not ring truer than in how a new contemporary art movement, Excessivism, founded by American artist, Kaloust Guedel, that showcases the excessiveness present in people's lives, correlates to Donald Trump's bid for the GOP presidential nomination.

"The art is not always about 'the deal,' but it's about relevancy in real life," Guedel says.

The Excessivism Movement first debuted in Los Angeles at LA Artcore at an exhibition titled, "Excessivist Initiative," with 21 artists, many of them internationally recognized.

With economic and political excessivism at the very core of this new art movement, it naturally relates to Trump's political path.

From the early days, Trump's career was marked by excessivist tendencies and hyperbole. And it continues. While Americans have gotten somewhat used to being misled during political campaigns, Trump takes it to the next level. From sweeping cultural generalities about Mexicans to personal financial misrepresentations, Trump is the poster child for excessivism and exaggeration.

In fact, according to the October issue of Forbes' magazine, this presidential GOP front-runner isn't as rich as he thinks. He initially pegged his net worth at around $9 billion, but according to its ranking of the wealthiest people in the U.S., Forbes lists his riches at $4.5 billion. That's a 100 percent markup. Excessive and exaggerated? Yes.

This discrepancy is noteworthy because Trump says, "We need a leader who wrote 'The Art of the Deal.'" Guedel questions this statement at its heart and ties it into this new art movement.

Shanna Nys Dambrout, art historian, critic and curator says that, "Excessivism is a movement which in itself is contemporaneously developing and annexing. It has a founder, several early adopters and a manifesto."

The Excessivism Movement quite simply reflects the capitalist system where excess is constantly encouraged for the sole purpose to deliver profit, without consideration of all other aspects, including human and environmental.

"Now, America must ask itself if it wants a president who puts his name on every shining object with excessivism as the big pay-off. It remains to be seen," Guedel says.

About the Artist:

American artist, Kaloust Guedel, was born 1956. He describes himself as a "self-educated artist." Since 1975, he has lived and worked in Los Angeles. His work explores contemporary issues and often takes a critical stand on various shortcomings present in today's society. Throughout the years, he has explored subjects such as genocide, war and abuse. Despite varying styles and techniques, his work has been consistent with contemporary sensibility and has reflected the consciousness of its time.

U.S. Senate Candidate Tom Del Beccaro Announces Major Endorsement by Economist Larry Kudlow

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Oct. 6, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Tom Del Beccaro, former Chairman of the California Republican Party and U.S. Senate candidate, today announced Economist Larry Kudlow's endorsement of him for U.S. Senate.

"I am honored to have received this endorsement," said Del Beccaro. "Larry Kudlow has been among the foremost voices in America for the restoration of pro-growth policies. In the time I have spent with him, I have seen how he is acutely concerned about how government policies have reduced economic growth and in the process hurt the middle class and the poor in America."

"Tom Del Beccaro, with the help of my dear friend Stephen Moore, will propose a flat tax for the nation. In my judgment, that is the exact prescription our ailing economy needs. Tom Del Beccaro has my full support," said Kudlow.

About Tom Del Beccaro's Flat Tax:

Tom Del Beccaro, the only candidate in the race to have taken the No New Tax Pledge, and the only Senate candidate in America to offer a flat tax plan, has proposed the following flat tax system:

1. The elimination of our current corporate tax system and to replace it with a 15.5% net business income tax with immediate expensing for business purchases and deductibility of wages and salaries.

2. The replacement of the current personal income tax with a flat rate 15.5% income tax on wages and salaries, capital gains, dividends, interest income and bequests. For a family of four, the first $48,000 of income is tax-free. Health care benefits should remain untaxed.

3. The elimination of all deductions except the standard deduction should be doubled.

4. The payroll tax should be retained but its cap eliminated.

5. The elimination of the estate tax, ObamaCare taxes, and all tariffs. The net business income tax would be applied to imports at the border.

6. Any change to this system, should require a 3/5ths vote of both houses of Congress

That system would replace the 77,000 annotated page tax code we have today.

About Tom Del Beccaro:

Tom Del Beccaro is a business and real estate lawyer, and the former Chairman of the California Republican Party. Tom is a contributor to Forbes.com and writes frequently about tax policy.

Mark Miller Announces Candidacy for Texas Railroad Commissioner

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 2, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Mark Miller announced today that he is seeking the Libertarian Party of Texas' nomination for Texas Railroad Commissioner in 2016.

Dr. Miller was the 2014 Libertarian nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner and is again running for office because he believes it is imperative for the Texas Railroad Commission to serve all Texans, not just the oil and gas industry.

"As Commissioner, I promise to transform the agency by bringing increased transparency and accountability, a culture of simplification and regular review, and a new focus on surface property rights," says Miller.

The only other announced candidate for the post is the incumbent Commission Chairman, Mr. David Porter. "During Commissioner Porter's tenure, the Railroad Commission was embroiled in many controversies surrounding oil and gas development in Texas," notes Miller. "Among them were appropriate regulations for wastewater wells that trigger earthquakes and eminent domain abuse by common carrier pipelines. Sadly, regulations promulgated by the Commission under Porter's watch turned out to be nothing more than window-dressing, resulting in additional bureaucratic busy-work, but with no substantive positive effects on protecting the Texas public. Even more sadly, this appears to be the usual state of affairs at the most important of state agencies."

There will be three public presentations of some of Dr. Miller's thoughts on the Railroad Commission in the Dallas/Fort Worth area September 2 - 8, 2015 (www.miller4tx.com/events).

"As I look at Commissioner Porter's issues for the 2016 campaign, where are the calls to increase transparency by changing the Commission's name and eliminating openly-admitted crony capitalism?" questions Miller. "Where are the calls for regulatory reform that are needed for a stodgy 100+ year-old agency? And, where are the calls to better protect personal liberties by putting surface property rights on a more equal footing with mineral rights?"

"I challenge all candidates for Texas Railroad Commissioner to engage in a series of serious and spirited public debates over important issues facing the Railroad Commission," says Miller.

Texas Railroad Commissioner is the only State executive position on the November 2016 ballot. "Texas voters should insist on open and robust public discussions befitting this immensely important position and befitting our great state," notes Miller.

About Mark Miller:

Dr. Mark A. Miller, PE, is a native-born and long-time resident of Texas. Dr. Miller began a career in the oil and gas industry as a petroleum engineer. Later, he received a PhD from Stanford University and went on to teach petroleum engineering at the University of Texas at Austin for 18 years. After leaving UT, Dr. Miller established a worldwide petroleum engineering consulting practice and was founder and CEO/CTO of a small company that provided software to the oil and gas industry. Dr. Miller was the Libertarian Party's 2014 nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner.

ACSIA Partners Offers Election Poll on Key Issue: Incentives to Help More Americans Afford Long-Term Care Insurance

KIRKLAND, Wash., June 24, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Today ACSIA Partners LLC announces a straw poll asking Americans to say which 2016 Presidential candidate, Democratic or Republican, is more likely to back federal incentives for owning long-term care insurance.

Available at http://ltcpoll2016.strikingly.com/, the poll simply asks, "Which party's candidate is more likely to offer new tax incentives for long-term care insurance?"

Why the poll?

"It's not just to take the pulse of the public," says Denise Gott, CEO of ACSIA Partners. "We want to influence the candidates. When they see the poll results, they might start taking the LTC issue more seriously."

The majority of senior Americans lack long-term care insurance, Gott points out. "It's not included in the Affordable Care Act, and Medicare doesn't cover most long-term care needs. Medicaid offers broad assistance, but only for those who lack means."

"For the vast majority of Americans," Gott continues, "private insurance is the only viable LTC insurance option, but millions shrink from the cost. New tax breaks could change that. The candidates need to take a position and include it in their talking points."

Senior voters could tip the election one way or the other, Gott asserts. "There are tens of millions of them. They show up at the polls. And when you add their family members to their numbers, they make up a clear majority of eligible voters."

The straw poll will run continuously and the tally will be updated after each submission. Results to date will be immediately visible to participants, at http://ltcpoll2016.strikingly.com/.

About ACSIA Partners:

ACSIA Partners LLC - http://www.acsiapartners.com/ - is one of America's largest and most experienced long-term care insurance solution agencies. The company is also a co-founder and sponsor of the "3in4 Need More" campaign, run by the 3in4 Association, which encourages Americans to form a long-term care plan.

Senator Tom Cotton Treason Monument Created By Artist Protesting ‘American Apathy’

WASHINGTON D.C. and ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 2, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As the U.S. takes a major step toward reaching a full agreement with Iran over its nuclear program, artist Daniel Edwards has created a "treason monument," featuring a bust of Senator Tom Cotton, as a protest to the "apathy of the American people" regarding the 47 Senate Republicans who sent the unauthorized letter, at Cotton's behest, to Iranian leadership that undermined the U.S. negotiations, to be unveiled later this month by Cory Allen Contemporary Art.

The monument, "Treason Memorial: The Portrait of Tom Cotton," as described by Cory Allen Contemporary Art, "is designed to combat domestic complacency and depicts the life-size head of Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton looking seditiously ahead, beneath the looming representation of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, who appears to have a sly and divisive smile. Etched below is a 'U.S. seal of treason,' featuring the bald eagle, scornful and glaring with its back turned away, accompanied by text which describes the offense committed by the 47 senators. The back of the monument lists all of the signing senators by name for posterity."

"According to The Logan Act, these senators committed treason, but will likely not be held accountable, which is why this monument needs to exist," said spokesman Cory Allen, citing the federal law forbidding any U.S. citizen acting without official authority from influencing disputes or controversies with a foreign government.

"I felt compelled to create this memorial to never forget the senators who potentially damaged the U.S. over affairs as sensitive as nuclear arms in the Middle East. I hope we can resolve to be less apathetic about such unlawful misrepresentation," said artist Daniel Edwards.

Other works by Edwards include "Landmark for Peace: The Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy Memorial" located in Indianapolis, and The Hudson Institute's James Doolittle Award, presented at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., of which Henry Kissinger, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld have been some of its recipients.

"Treason Memorial: The Portrait of Tom Cotton," will open to the public at CACA's The Showroom, the world's first public relations gallery, located in the Warehouse Arts District in St. Petersburg, Fla. on April 24, 2015. Contact Cory Allen at 323-393-3115 or visit http://www.cacanet.com/ .

Philippines Employs ‘Lumpia Strategy’ to Counter Chinese Expansion

AYUNGIN ISLAND, Philippines, Nov. 1, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- An under-the-radar struggle for disputed island reefs is evolving in the South China Sea, between China and the Philippines, and the tactics employed by each side are named after foods, according to Reina Prince, global strategist for the NGO Friends Beyond Borders.

The area called Reed Bank contains hundreds of relatively unimpressive deserted islands and shoals, but what is really valuable to both nations is under the surface. Some estimates are that the seabed beneath the area holds 55 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, as well as 5.4 billion barrels of crude oil.

China has aggressively asserted its claims to the area, sending more and more navy ships, research vessels, and fishing boats over the last few years. For its part, the Philippines has grounded an abandoned WWII era ship, the Sierra Madre, on a lonely reef in the disputed area, and manned it with eight Marines.

General Zhang Zhaozhong, of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, has described China's long term plan as "the Cabbage Strategy" which means the effort to flood a disputed area of island-dotted ocean with so many boats that "the island is thus wrapped layer by layer like a cabbage."

Referring to recent efforts to take land from the Philippines, Zhang said "We should do more such things in the future. For those small islands, only a few troopers are able to station on each of them, but there is no food or even drinking water there. If we carry out the cabbage strategy, you will not be able to send food and drinking water onto the islands. Without the supply for one or two weeks, the troopers stationed there will leave the islands on their own. Once they have left, they will never be able to come back."

The Philippine government has responded with what Prince calls the "Lumpia Strategy," named after the famous Filipino egg roll stuffed with vegetables (including cabbage) and sometimes meat. It aims to preserve Filipino sovereignty over the islands by maintaining possession and fishing rights. Mayor Eugenio Bito-onon, whose territory includes Ayungin Island, tries to help the military re-supply the troops on the distant outpost, for which he and the marines have been honored with the Adelina Award, but Chinese interference is making such efforts more and more difficult. Only sustained support from the people and government can keep the garrison intact.

U.S. Senate Candidate Gail Goode Supports Ban on Drilling Near Drinking Water

NEW YORK, N.Y., Aug. 25 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. Senate Candidate Gail Goode (D-NY) yesterday supported a six-month ban on hydraulic drilling for natural gas near upstate watersheds that supply drinking water to the New York metropolitan region.

"We must have a much clearer sense of the potential impact of this process, known as hydraulic fracturing, on our watershed," Goode said, following a community town hall meeting Tuesday at the Borough of Manhattan Community College.

"I support creating jobs, but in this case, we must consider the greater good of protecting the region's drinking water," said Goode, who will face off against Kirsten Gillibrand in the Sept. 14 Democratic Primary. "As we've seen with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, it is just not enough for industry to assure the public that a process is safe."

Hydraulic fracturing is used to release natural gas deposits by shooting a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals into shale deposits thousands of feet below ground. The mixture fractures the shale and allows gas that is trapped in the formations to flow.

Earlier this month, the New York State Senate passed a bill that suspends hydraulic fracturing for the extraction of natural gas or oil until May 15, 2011, and suspends the issuance of new permits for such drilling, to provide time to study the issue. If the legislation becomes law, it would temporarily prevent drilling in the Marcellus Shale formation, which stretches from the Catskills region westward across New York into Ohio, and south into Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia and Virginia.

Goode noted that the Senate legislation acknowledges the "robust debate involving the interplay between job creation and protection of the environment," but said the potential risks in this case are too great until more is known.

"The federal government should be working hand-in-hand with state officials to create jobs, and I do not believe my opponent has done nearly enough to help the people of New York," Goode said. "We should be focusing on rebuilding infrastructure and bringing new technologies to New York, rather than drilling processes that could potentially contaminate our drinking water."
