Facing an internal competitor

Posted on 23 September 2013 by The Bell Ringer Editorial

Advertising is a tough business.

You have to make sure your prices are competitive with industry rivals while still maintaining a profit for your business. In the real world, it’s brutally cutthroat in the ad business – you either sink or swim. Competitors swoop in behind your back to swipe the deal you thought you had made, promising lower prices for the same ads with the possibility of better placement on the page.

7 Undocumented Free from Jail After White House Arrests

“The only ‘no’ we’ll accept, is no more deportations,” explained Tomas Martinez, a member of the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights (GLAHR).  “The President can’t deny he has the power and the responsibility to stop deportations. We’re being told to wait for reform but waiting is not an option when 1,200 of us are being deported each day”.  All seven undocumented migrants from across the country handcuffed themselves to the White House fence to push forward the demand the President stop deportations and tell him they won’t take ‘no’ for an answer despite his comments to Telemundo last night. They were arrested for several hours and now all walked free.

Slum Designation for Augusta

UPDATE 10-8-2013 - During a work session by four commissioners and the Mayor of Augusta, the group learned that calling slum almost 600 acres of downtown area will be beneficial for development. Slum it doesn't mean the zone is bad but that is in risk to become worst and that open a world of opportunities to get funds for many projects in downtown was the explanation. Constructions already are on the way but money still is not being allocated. Watch the building.

Hispanics Snubbed by President

President Obama snubs Hispanics again. Millions of them get news from Univision and Telemundo, certainly in far greater numbers than on MSNBC or CNN or ABC, NBC, CBS and NPR.

So who did Obama’s flacks offer long interviews to before his requested national time for a massive important national speech regarding the Syria crisis? Not the Spanish-language network Univision which regularly beats the other networks in areas like Los Angeles and Miami.

Obama goes out of his way to insult and demean Hispanics at every turn and what do his Hispanic acolytes do, they bend over and grab their ankles to enjoy being screwed by this President. Not this one.
