2007 Lawn Jockey Award Wrap-Up

The 2007 Lawn Jockey Awards Wrap-Up
 
The 2007 Lawn Jockey Awards were handed out in Washington DC on September 26.  The affair was smaller and less formal than we might have liked, but fun.

Due to a series of mistakes by our own people and the near-impossibility of competing with the many parties that the Black Caucus Legislative Weekend is famous for, we didn't get sufficient turnout to break even.  But the affair was more than worthwhile.

 
We made a number of new friends and over the coming weeks and months BAR and CBC Monitor will be expanding our teams and actively growing the necessary capacity to be physical, not just internet presences in the nation's capital and around the country.  We are confident that the efforts of our existing and new team members will ensure that the voices of the Black Political Consensus are heard, and that the Congressional Black Caucus is constantly reminded of their duty to represent the political will of Black America.  
 
We have an ambitious series of expansion plans for the coming year, including the renovation and combination of our two sites, blackagendareport.com and blackagendareport.net, and some forays into the worlds of audio and video news production. CBC Monitor is expanding its activities to better hold wayward lawmakers' feet to the fire, and praise those who fight the good fight.
 
Black Agenda Report is funded mostly out of our own pockets, and with your donations.  Help us stay around, and fulfill the mission.
