U.S. MARINE CORPS TOYS FOR TOTS CAMPAIGN COLLECTION CONTINUES THROUGH DEC. 17

Make this holiday season magical for children in need! The mission of Toys for Tots, a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, is to collect new, unwrapped toys each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community.

Toys for Tots began in 1947 as the brainchild of Marine Corps Reserve Major Bill Hendricks. Actually, it was his wife, Diane, who was the real inspiration. She had a few handcrafted dolls and asked Bill to deliver them to an agency that supports children in need. When Bill reported back to his wife that he could not find such an organization, she instructed him to “start one!” Maj. Hendricks and the Marines in his reserve unit in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys in 1947. Seeing such successful community engagement in 1947, the Commandant directed all Marine Reserve Sites to implement the Toys for Tots campaign transforming it into a national community action program in 1948.

The Christmas season is just around the corner, and we need your help to bring joy and hope to children in America!  Bring a gift of a new unwrapped toy to the Christmas/Chanukah Party on Dec 17th at Marbella Restaurant where US Marine Corps Reservists will be on hand collecting them, or drop them off before Dec 17th at Ret. Police Captain Joe Concannon’s house (89-11 237 St., Bellerose, NY). These toys will be distributed as Christmas gifts to make this holiday season special for our nation’s most valuable resources, our children!

Make Thanksgiving Great Again!


Hi, I’m setting up for an event to take place at National Action Network
Asian American activist cries out about Claudine Gay support. Al Sharpton says he will discuss
And just as Al acknowledged me I will try to help him.

Right now the Democrats have leaned on Al Sharpton heavily to attack Trump, but The Democrats did not help actual poor people such as the people I talked about in the video.  The first asian American voting district in NYC history switched from Blue to Red after just one term by Iwen Chu.

Eric Adams would benefit from an improved relationship between Trump and National Action Network and so would Al Sharpton.

As someone who voted for Trump but who is still ready to work with and recognize the unique and powerful things that Sharpton does for the community I’d like to usher in a new era of cooperation between our communities.

I am encouraging the MAGA community to particpate with NAN to serve the community in Unity and to start discussions about how we can BETTER SERVE THE LITTLE PEOPLE 

The wrongfully incarcerated, the people facing eviction, war victims like myself, Asian Americans being weaponized against blacks and blacks being weaponized against Asian Americans.

There’s a lot we can achieve together and I appreciate  how Al Sharpton has not excluded me from attending his events although it is 3 years later and I have never gotten a sit down.

I’m not doing this event to set up Al Sharpton.  He has access and no one is all good or all bad  Everyone makes mistakes.  Trump isn’t perfect either, but more than Trump it is the TRUMP COMMUNITY that has embraced the issues I fight for.  Working to help the wrongfully incarcerated, the poor, the people in public housing facing eviction and so forth.

The original thanksgiving brought together communities at war, and this Thanksgiving I’d like to forge a new age of UNITY and ACCEPTANCE and find things we can WORK ON TOGETHER 

No 2 people can agree on all priorities or positions.  There are many issues I would agree with NAN on except the implementation of these ideas serves the rich and those with political power and consistently leaves my people behind.

I’m hoping that the Asian American community shows up to NAN in a big way.  Both to help and to have a REAL CONVERSATION where we are left out so often.  

The issue of DEI can be supported by those who will question nothing as did John Liu when he was brought in to sub in to silence my own critiques of DEI and how it is weaponized against the Asian American community.

It is because I love and respect NAN that I am attempting to swarm this event with MAGA peoples in a spirit of cooperation and unity.

Please respond this time.
