Black History Month & Young Politics
by Van Stone vspfoundation@yahoo.com
Dr. Kerry A. Foster, Green Candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia, PA, is creating a Ground Breaking candidacy by endorsing History Making Registered Green Candidates for election seats using the Green Ticket to likely win as the Next Mayor of Philadelphia. Dr. Foster is the first Black American in Philadelphia History to be both nominated by the Green Party and recognized by the Committee of Seventy, a Political Watch Dog Group that assist the citizens of Philadelphia with voting information and fair voting practices, in the city of Philadelphia. Dr. Foster is the first Green Candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia that has endorsed a Philadelphia candidate, Warren F. Bloom, for City Commissioner that is a registered Democrat. Dr. Foster has also endorsed Philadelphia candidate, Samuel Van Stone Downing, for City Commissioner. City Commissioner's must be bipartisan as there are 3 Philadelphia City Commissioners that are elected to public office. No political party is allowed to have more than 2 elected affiliates as City Commissioner. Dr. Foster is the first Green Candidate for Mayor to endorse a Woman Green candidate, Tracey Lofton, for City Of Philadelphia Traffic Court Judge. Both the Green City Commissioner Candidate and the Traffic Court Judge Candidate are seeking to take on the Republican Incumbents holding these seats. This is excitement during Black History Month.

Community & Foster Care Parent Activist, SAMUEL VAN STONE DOWNING ANNOUNCES GREEN CANDIDACY FOR CITY COMMISSIONER
ENDORSED BY DR. KERRY A. FOSTER, GREEN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR
City of Philadelphia - Community and Foster Care Parent Activist, Samuel Van Stone
Downing is proud to make his formal announcement of his Green candidacy for the City Commissioner seat Saturday, March 3, 2007, 9:30 AM, at The Lancaster Avenue Autonomous Space, 4134 Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104. The seat in the city commissioners office (Voting Commissioner) is held by Joseph J. Duda (R) when he was re-elected to city commissioner last election, and will be facing Van Stone in the 2007 election November 6.
Samuel Van Stone Downing, who was unanimously endorsed by Dr. Kerry A. Foster, Green, Candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Registered Greens, will take the platform at the LAVA Building flanked by a host of supporters and well-wishers. “I am the only potential Independent City Commissioner candidate,” said Van Stone. He continued, “ I am representing the Green Party and the underprivileged as a serious challenger to the Republican Party's incumbent candidate. This is because I am for protecting the registered voter's and the pollwatcher's education in elections. And I am the only political candidate searching for answers along with the community. I have an open platform that calls for new ways to register voters on-line now in Philadelphia. This is the first solution among many to quickly reduce the voter disenfranchisement in Philadelphia. And I will suggest solutions to solve the Pollwatcher's problems in this city because voter registration education and safety is what I have done in Philly.”
For the past twenty years, Samuel Van Stone Downing has served the Philadelphia Community citywide promoting an understanding about the importance to register to vote, encompassing the Northeast Philadelphia, West Philadelphia and parts of Far Northeastern Philadelphia. “I have been to the recreation centers, schools and Senior Citizen Centers volunteering for street work activity on key issues. These include education and expansion of quality election, pay and education for pollwatchers. I decided to run for City Commissioner because there are still too many people struggling to find a stable job though a stable voting registration process. There are still too many families without access to critical registering to vote process.”
“As you read this message to the residents of Philadelphia County and the City of Philadelphia, please know that I stand with you and look forward to working with you in my new likely honorable elected position: Philadelphia City Commissioner!”
