Notice to the Public: I have contacted multiple media outlets about the ongoing issue of equal and timely representation in all areas of need, including the arts. The issues continue even after several decades with no access and no opportunity for commerce trade. See details on this and other issues on my Facebook Page.. Learn more about a voice silenced (5) decades ongoing here in the U.S. This letter was submitted to local news outlets and TV stations in the Columbus, and Atlanta, Georgia area in 2012. It is only one of several topic issues that was not accepted for on air broadcast, or discussion. TO THE EDITOR: What good is Freedom of Speech, if one can’t use it to benefit society in general and to prosper. People are lured into wars confident that their sacrifice will help promote Constitutional Rights in the US and abroad. Children are taught to exercise creativity in school and at work and to society in a proper way. The cold reality of such freedom is that it does not exist for some, but only for a select few here in the United States. I have contributed myself, my talents, my ideas in music, television and with invention including, but not limited to new air flight technologies and the angle head tooth brush design implemented by Johnson & Johnson . I have been denied all credibility and compensations for my contributions in the past. I have contributed to the success of such recording artists as Bob Segar, Michael Jackson, Kiss, and a few others from the 1970’s to 1988, but without compensation, or accreditation to my efforts in a collaboration. I have been discarded by such people and left on my own to continue in my work even at a young and tender age with no representation, or agent , or legal protection . I have limited songs left, original material still in need of development and marketing. I have no group in which to develop this material to its fullest potential . It is impossible to find an agent willing to market new material. I have tried for over 13 yrs. in the State of Alabama. I have found most talent competitions are scams, such as you may find in Atlanta, Georgia. They seek monies upfront for a chance to meet so called agents. In addition, Literary Agents are listed all over the country, but no one wants to get involved. If a person can’t market his works for publishing, what good is freedom of speech? How will the public ever now the full facts involved if the song isn’t heard, or the screenplay not produced? Is this really the land of opportunity, maybe for some? If only someone made an investment in my needs. Seems as though no one wants to get involved , except the Devil himself.
