Dear Friends and Members, 

Voting is over, so now let’s pray we don’t have to hear the best and worst from many and only see Good News from all the candidates. Congratulations to ALL, we have:

FREEDOM TO VOTE, AND FREEDOM IS PEACE.

The Good News is that there are many truly doing public service, and we praise and thank them in Peace and Love. Forward Motion.

We have some local New York City Good News Political stories to share:

The first is the Giving Back Foundation honoring Mira Nair, the Mother of Zohran Mamdani, and a great filmmaker. Zohran grew up seeing the power of her films and also the wisdom of his dad, a Political Science Professor. Here is an Award given to Mira in 2013 by friends at the Giving Back Foundation. Also, here is my interview with Mira and others at the IAAC Indian Awards, also in 2013, in which she discusses Peace.

NOTE: Good News Corporation, a Nonprofit, was created in 2002 by Milestone Broadcast Corporation Founder, Paul Sladkus, who founded a Multicultural Marketing & Media Representative Agency in 1985 and has a long-standing relationship with over 130 ethnic communities worldwide.

I had the experience this year of speaking about two candidates I know and believe in, and I learned a great deal from handing out flyers. I suggest that everyone get some experience with our voting system and candidates, as it can build your respect for our FREEDOM TO VOTE.

PS- I was also the President of my Sleepy Hollow High School Senior Class, so every reunion I have the opportunity to be involved and share some great times, he he!

Here are three interviews that Good News has the honor to share with you. The first is one of the founders of the Working Families Party; the second is our new president of the Manhattan Borough, Brad Holyman-Sigal, talking about FREEDOM, during the celebration victory party, during an interview with the Gay City News that I also recorded and asked short questions. The last was with our friend and Earth and Peace Day Partner, the current Manhattan Borough President, Mark Levine, when he was interviewed on Spectrum TV about becoming the Comptroller of New York City and his stance for overseeing the finances for our NYC Administration for the best for ALL living in New York City.

A new book – “Mick & Moira & Brad: A Romantic Comedy,” by award-winning author Gerald Everett Jones, is rich with insights into “the biz” – which includes Hollywood and especially the music industry. The book offers a tantalizing view of how major entertainment agencies manufacture celebrity.

The story revolves around a woman with a talent for singing who’s plucked from the legal profession by an aggressive Hollywood agent who reps famous singers…and is determined to do the same for the character known as Moira. But her arrogant billionaire boyfriend has his own plans for his girlfriend and these three characters may butt heads and sparks fly.

Gerald is available for interviews to discuss the timely themes about surrounding his new book – especially how a music star is born and can be thrust into the limelight of pop stardom.

He can also share his “recipe for success,” when it comes to developing stories and characters.
