Voter Fraud Part 2
The group responsible for
destroying Mount Vernon’s School system, and for massive amounts of voter fraud,
is backing Elias Goodzeit in order to help continue their influence in the Mount
Vernon School System.

| REV. WILLIAM MIZELL |
Rev. Mizell of Grace
Baptist Church is the point person for churches who look to seize control of
The Mount Vernon School Board. In May,
2012, Rev Mizell, on behalf of The UBC (United Black Clergy) supported four
Candidates, Francis Wynn, Elias Goodzeit, Delia Farqueson, and Brenda Crump.
Mizell asked the Mount Vernon Democratic Committee to help their candidates win,
because the clergy had lost credibility with the voters in Mount Vernon.
The UBC and their
candidates illegally used Democratic Headquarters, and no leases were issued to
use the facility. This is against New York State Campaign law. The 2012 election
was marred with voter fraud. Sources informed Mount Vernon Exposed, that voters
were bussed in from all areas, including The Bronx, to vote for Mizell’s
candidates. As reported by The Journal News, dead people voted, people voted multiple
times, and servicemen stationed overseas on election day had votes cast for
them at poll locations. One voter’s home address was the abandoned tennis
courts at Memorial field. Comptroller
Maureen Walker and her Husband Robert Walker were also part of the fraud that election
day.
Mizell’s candidates won
the election. The losing candidates requested the voting machines be impounded.
This is common practice in elections, to guarantee they are fair and honest. Rev
Mizell urged the sitting Board Members they helped get into office to vote no, and
the motion failed. Two Board Members, who voted “no” were Elias Goodzeit, and
Delia Farquharson. Both were winning candidates in the disputed election. Why
would Elias Goodzeit, an Attorney, block the process to verify that an election
in The United States Of America was fair? What was he hiding? Elias Goodzeit
spent 3 years denying his involvement in voter fraud, yet he voted no to allow
anyone to examine the voting machines.

Last year, Goodzeit, and Farquharson
started a group called The Mount Vernon Board Campaign Action Committee. This
organization is supposed to find school board candidates favorable to Grace
Baptist, and other churches. When the black churches originally gained control
of the board in 1997, they called themselves CEPAA (Coalition for the
Empowerment of People of African Ancestry). Ministers have changed their organization’s
names several times, to stay ahead of United States election laws. CEPPA became
the UBC (United Black Clergy) and now, The Mount Vernon Board Campaign Action
Committee. We will discuss CEPAA Later.
Last year, the Campaign Action Committee
chose, Darthea Miller, Charmaine Fearon, and Omar McDowell as their candidates.
Darthea Miller is Mizell’s choice to be the next Board President. It looks like the trio of Miller, Fearon, and
McDowell, are backing Elias Goodzeit, with the promise to put Miller in the
President’s seat, as long as Goodzeit wins. Charmaine Fearon, is an Attorney
for Morgan Stanley, and needs to be careful that she is not part of any voter
fraud that may happen this year. Also, she cannot plead ignorance to not
knowing the history of the people who support her. This is a disaster waiting
to happen. Attorneys, Goodzeit and Fearon are well aware of the separation of
church and state laws, and the fact that Grace Baptist, and other Churches who
support them, are, and have been in violation of their IRS 501-C3 tax exempt
status. Sources say, The Mount Vernon Board Campaign Action Committee was
formed to hide Grace and other Churches’ involvement in the election process.
Complaints have been filed with the IRS, and it is only a matter of time before
the Government acts on the misbehavior of religious intuitions in Mount Vernon.
Their supporters need to be aware that these religious organizations violate IRS
law.
The Mount Vernon Campaign
Action Committee urged last year’s candidates to decline support from other groups.
However, recently Delia Farquharson begged support for Gootzeit, from a member
of Concerned Property Owners, (a north side based organization). Furthermore,
members of The Mount Vernon Campaign Action Committee wanted to drop Wanda
White from their ticket as a deal for support for Goodzeit. Those request were
denied.
Over the years, greed by
some of the most prominent black church Minister’s in the City of Mount Vernon,
destroyed our youth by denying them a proper education. Under the influence of
the black Churches, Mount Vernon went from having great schools, to having one
of the worst school districts in the country. Property taxes have tripled under
their leadership. Graduation rates are at an all time low, because children are
dropping out at record numbers. Most children in Mount Vernon perform below
grade level.

There has been severe
mismanagement of public funds for the past two decades due to the influence of
the black churches in the City of Mount Vernon. Although taxes have tripled,
vocational training has been removed from Mount Vernon schools, further
hindering the prospect of children becoming employable. Uneducated youth resort to crime, drugs,
gangs, and finally become incarcerated. The elderly become squeezed out of
their homes, while falling home prices have made Mount Vernon an undesirable
place to live. How did this happen? How did people who preach the word of God become
such opportunist? Why did they destroy a generation of youth?
Prior to 1997 the ICA
(Italian Civic Association) controlled the school board. Founded in 1917, the
I.C.A. elected its first school board trustee in 1919. Its members, all who
trace their roots to Italy, got out the vote by phoning and making house calls
to their voter base. The ICA financed the running of school board candidates,
influenced the hiring of the superintendent, teachers, and had complete control
of contracts. Schools on the north side had better teachers, more computers, and
were just plain better equipped than south side schools. The ICA took care of
the north side, and African Americans and black church leaders in Mount Vernon
were outraged.
Even with the favoritism
to north side schools, the children in south side schools were being educated.
Mount Vernon had blue ribbon, nationally recognized schools, and a high
graduation rate. For example, on a state reading exam in 1996, 93.1 percent of
Mount Vernon's sixth graders scored above the minimum competency level compared
with 89.9 percent of all Westchester sixth graders. Children passed in great
numbers in both middle-class and poor sections of the city. The average
property tax bill in 1996 was about $3500 per year.
Black Ministers under CEPAA,
mounted a campaign to wrestle power away from The ICA. The ringleader of CEPAA
was Grace Baptist Church Pastor, Franklyn Richardson. Despite US laws against
mixing politics and religion, Preachers in violation of their 501-C3 tax-exempt
statuses, preached politics from the pulpit, urging people to come out and vote
for their candidates. In May of 1997, with 11,547 voters cast, CEPAA took
control of the school board. The winning CEPAA candidates were, Frances W.
Wynn, Carolyn V. Ben Reuben, Lynn C. Frazer-McBride, Gerald M. Coleman and the
Rev. David D. Henry.
The 1997-98 budget was
$95.9 million. CEPAA challenged the budget vote, which was defeated during the
1997 May election. In 1997, spending per pupil in the City of Mount Vernon was
$9,383.45. Today, spending has increased
to almost $30,000 per pupil. Immediately following the 1997 school board
election, CEPAA went to work, hiring “their” people to work in the school
system, regardless of qualifications. Contracts were awarded to acquaintances,
bonds were taken out, and money went missing. People became rich off the backs
of our children and taxpayers.
It wasn’t too long after CEPAA
put “their” people to work that taxpayers and children in the City of Mount
Vernon began to feel the effects of CEPAA’s high taxing policies. Scores of
children began to plummet, vocational schools were eliminated, students began
to drop out in record numbers, and property taxes skyrocketed. Crime also escalated
to record numbers, and our uneducated and unemployable youth ended up in jail.
An entire generation of children were destroyed, mostly African American
children, due to the policies of CEPAA.
Since our black Ministers
rescued us from the ICA, over 6000 kids have dropped out of school. Most of our
south side school children, the ones being rescued by CEPAA, are now well below
state standard levels in reading and math. Some schools have much less than 30%
of their children at or above grade level. Davis Middle School is an
embarrassment, and ranks at the bottom of middle schools
In NY State, with 25% of
7th and 8th graders at or above reading and math levels. Davis Middle School is
at risk for a State takeover.
Ministers continue to
violate the law, and are heavy in school politics. Our children have suffered
under their control. In the 2012 school board election, the process was rigged to
insure certain candidates were elected. CEPAA always blamed the ICA of stealing
elections to control money and jobs. The Ministers are now being accused of
doing the same, by their actions in the 2012 election.
Mount Vernon has a
wonderful Superintendent, Dr. Kenneth Hamilton, who has a very tough job. He
was handed a very difficult situation. We are hopeful that his leadership will
turn around our school system. Progress has begun.
We urge anyone concerned
with the education of our children, and the high taxes we pay to educate them,
to demand that all churches cease from meddling in our school system. Enough is
enough. Any church member, who hears any Minister endorsing candidates, should
report them to the IRS. We have lost a generation of children due to their
unscrupulous behavior. We also urge Delia Farquharson and Elias Goodzeit, who
is running for re-election, to explain why he voted not to allow voting
machines to be inspected in the controversial 2012 election. Fair and honest
elections are what this country stands for. What were Goodzeit and Farquharson hiding?
