The pressure group run by racial arsonist, con man, tax cheat, and absconding debtor Al Sharpton is lining up some fresh victims.
The Harlem-based National Action Network (NAN), a tax-exempt 501c4 advocacy group, runs a project called the Madison Avenue Initiative. A NAN press release explains its purpose:
“Our goal is to create more business alliances between the corporate and government public service sectors and the many viable black and latino-owned agencies and media. We’re seeing more opportunities for a greater share of the marketing mix,” said Rev. Al Sharpton, founder of the National Action Network. “Another area of concern is hiring and training for black and latino marketing professionals and students. Establishing a process that promotes access and consideration is critical to linking qualified candidates to opportunities.”
Since March, Sharpton and Madison Avenue Initiative director Munson Steed have initiated communication with corporate and government executives to discuss increased recruitment and engagement.
“We’re finding that corporate CEOs are open to discussing ways to engage more of our agencies, media and professionals to help them meet their business goals,” said Steed. “We’re devoting 2011 to opening more doors and creating more synergy that will be mutually beneficial for all parties.” [….]
So NAN, an ACORN wannabe group, has “initiated communication with corporate and government executives,” eh?
Was that communication by means of a bullhorn or was it through a threatening letter? Maybe a brick with a note tied to it?
