Journal of Shawn Eckles' Campaign 2012 Report #3


I was so busy in the third week of my campaign that now I am releasing this third journal report on Monday.

I had to prepare and then "perform" for the first time in a live internet broadcast interview on the web "radio station" Groundbreaking Radio.  I spoke at length about fracking and the importance of protecting our drinking water resources.  I encouraged the audience to contact their elected government officials and to be sure to vote.  

And I agreed to work on a song with established area artist Brice Reese because  it will tout and promote political awareness.   That reminds me, I will be releasing a mixtape later during my campaign, and I'll be glad to hear from any artists who are interested in being on the mixtape with us;  please, contact me soon.  We only have 100 days until the election.

Lately I have spent a little time in Wilkes County, where that area's first black school in still standing and worth saving.  I met with the Lincoln Heights School board members, and they have engaged me to make a small documentary film to help them with their historical and preservation ideas.
