TKC NOTE: Solid work from Congressman Cleaver on making Liberty Memorial and the WWI museum a legislative priority . . . And nearly 100 years later . . . If Kansas City can find some benefit for all of the misery that accompanied WWI . . . That holds more meaning than any of the lies that lead up to the conflict and sent so many people to their death.
Take a look at the Congressman's most recent effort:
CONGRESSMAN CLEAVER KEEPS NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT ON KANSAS CITY
Kansas City - Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II, Missouri's Fifth District Representative, is bringing further national recognition to our area, and to the groundbreaking work being done at the Liberty Memorial and National World War I Museum.
For years, the Congressman has successfully led the effort to get the appropriate designation for the Liberty Memorial – soon to be known as America's National World War I Museum and Memorial.
Now - by way of an update -- Congressman Cleaver's designation effort, which is part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed the House of Representatives, by a vote of 300-119. The NDAA is now on its way to the Senate.
Spearheaded by Congressman Cleaver, the 112th Congress also established the WWI Centennial Commission. The Commission is planning, developing, and executing programs, projects, and activities to commemorate the centennial of World War I.
The provision that passed today also broadens the scope of that Commission, which will increase its depth, and continue growing national awareness about the museum -- and all it has to offer.

What are his views on unsolicited bulk email?
ReplyDeleteBout time he accomplished something worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but he's still a cheesedick.
ReplyDeleteIt's an astonishing venue for a look at a most ridiculous war.
ReplyDeleteWorld Class history lesson that even those who hate studying or hearing about history will find themselves drawn into by all the exhibits and displays of that tragic war.
chuck, agree. wife works there. very cool place. tad on the dysfunctional side internally, but a lot of non-profits seem to be that way. regards, mike t.
ReplyDeleteCleaver should work so hard on paying his own bills.
ReplyDeleteHow Middle Class of you to say that. However, popular it is to describe the poor as shiftless, though the Reverend/Congressman and self described "Stupid Preacher" is just a Citizen of the Empire that brings tribute to Caesar and when that's over his job will be done and the preacher/politician will be the end of an era.
ReplyDeleteWhen he was Mayor he said he despised the Liberty Memorial and let it go to weeds. All the effort was by Sheila Deitrich Kemper and private citizens. He's a hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteCleaver is a one-trick pony.
ReplyDeleteGo to Washington and bring something home for the folks.
Doesn't matter how the money disappears into thin air or what happens to other "initiatives" he makes grand announcements about.

Yes folks, and while you are in KC visiting the WWI museum drop by for a free carwash. It's your money paying for it. Oh, by the way, would you like a little wax with that final rinse?
ReplyDeleteIf this didn't benefit Cleaver personally, it would be great; however, you can be sure this thief lined his own pockets somehow on the deal.
ReplyDeleteHe constantly embarrasses the city with his racial rants
