Please Feel Free To Join the Cornegy 2009 Civic Duty A Social Imperative.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to speak at one of our Bedford-Stuyvesant Junior High School's Career Day. The age group of my audience was 12 years to 14 years old.

The message I want to convey to our youth is we all have a service responsibilty to our community. I believe, we all have a civic duty to to be of service to our community. Civic duty simply starts with being a good neighbor or volunteering in the community,

What are your civic duty thoughts.

What can we do to inspire our youth to be of service to others?

Please comment below.

Cornegy 2009: Get The Facts About The MTA B-25

Here is a BRAND NEW CORNEGY 2009 MTA B-25 VIDEO that you need to watch right now.

Watch Cornegy 2009 New MTA B-25 Video - Get The Facts About The MTA B-25



MTA B-25 is an extremely important issue affecting Central Brooklyn and our Bedford-Stuyvesant community commuters.

The MTA B-25 is one of the buses targeted in the MTA’s budget proposal to have weekday service cancelled. According to the MTA’s 2007 data the B-25 had an annual ridership of 4 million, and was the 77th most ridden bus line out of 208 local buses.

What this means to you.

The MTA B-25 is a lifeline for the Central Brooklyn community supplying transportation for millions of riders, providing reliable public transportation for our handicap and elderly citizens, and providing foot traffic to our local Bedford-Stuyvesant community stores.

Canceling the weekday and weekend service of the MTA B-25 will force millions of riders underground to the already overcrowded A & C trains with only two handicap access stops in Brooklyn, Franklin and Euclid Ave.

But we are going to FIGHT BACK -

This is everything we done to prepare for the MTA B-25 battle.

We have made the MTA B-25 issue known to the community and help enlist support.

We have signed and circulated the MTA B-25 citizen’s campaign petitions.

We have attended Brooklyn MTA public hearing meetings.

We have attended and spoked at the African American Clergy and Elected Official Meeting in Brooklyn.

We have voiced our opinions and advocated on behalf of MTA B-25 community riders.

We will continue to advocated on behalf of MTA B-25 community riders. Please help spread the word and e-mail this blog post to a family member or a friend.

I want to hear from YOU! Leave your MTA B-25 comments below and let me know how you feel about the proposed cut of the B-25 bus. Your comments will be posted for the community to see, and from there, we can continue to discuss how this proposed cut of the B-25 bus will affect you and our community.

Cornegy 2009: Mother's Day Message

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK - Happy Mother's Day. Michelle and I are sending a special Mother's Day message to all Central Brooklyn families.

We wanted to wish all the mothers in our community a Happy Mother's Day. We plan to personally reach out and hand out 1,000 Mother's Day cards starting this evening at the Fulton Restoration Plaza, 1368 Fulon Street, Brooklyn, New York.

Tomorrow Sunday May 10, 2009 on Mother's Day Michelle and I will continue recognizing mothers and distributing our Mother's Day cards and wishes at three different churches in our community: St Gregory The Great, Bethany Baptist and Cornerstone Baptist Church.

I am glad there is a special day to celebrate and honor our mothers. I believe, mothers definitely deserve our respect, admiration, and appreciation. I cherished the memories of my mother, (the late) Ellen Journey Cornegy.

I often share stories with my family and friends about my mother's wisdom, generosity and selfless family support. My mother was always there for me. She was a great source of inspiration.

Mothers have a very important role in our lives and in our society. Mothers are role models, our first teachers, and sources of unconditional love and support. Mothers instill the values, compassion, leadership and confidence that help define their children's character and self-esteem.

My mother extended herself to anyone in the community who needed and asked for help. My mother taught me to respect and view people as people and not to judge people by their life's circumstance. My mother believed people are inherently good but anyone can encounter a bad situation or experience an unexpected misfortune.

At a very early age I learned not to qualify people by their circumstances but to help people with their need. I believe one of the most important lessons I learned from my mother was not to see through people but to help see people through unforseen daunting life challenges and the difficulties they faced.

Mothers love, nurture and guide us through our life's journey. There is no substitute for the bond of love between a mother and child, and nothing is more worthy of reverence.

Congratulations to all of our new mothers who live in Central Brooklyn. Enjoy your first Mother's Day celebration.

My heartfelt, deepest condolences to my neigbors in the community, friends and colleagues who lost their mothers this year. Let me say, the first Mother's Day is the hardiest one to experience.

Among the greatest gifts I ever have received in my life is my wife, Michelle. I can not end this blog post without saying I am so grateful and extremely blessed for having a beautiful, wonderful and loving wife.

I sincerely appreciate, my wife, Michelle's love and dedication towards our children. I have no words to express how much honor and respect I have for her. I want to say 'Thank You, Michelle, for Everything You Do' for us.

Wishing My Wife, Michelle, And All Mothers A Happy Mother's Day.

Please Feel Free To Join the Cornegy 2009 Brooklyn BlogFest Bloggers Love Brooklyn Conversation.

The Brooklyn BlogFest is comprise of bloggers who love Brooklyn, New York. This year BlogFest had over 200 bloggers that shared their pride and love for their Brooklyn neighborhoods.

The BlogFest is a reflection of the diversity of people who live in our Brooklyn neighborhoods. It seems there are only a handful of Bedford-Stuyvesant Bloggers. I had the pleasure to meet and have a very pleasant and enjoyable conversation with Bed-Stuy Banana.

The Bed-Stuy Banana Blog photographs add an unique Bedford-Stuyvesant perspective.

Despite cultural and racial difference the people who live in the Bedford-Stuyvesant and the Crown Heights Community neighborhoods have many similiarities and common threads.

We, too, all love the borough of Brooklyn, New York.

I love Bedford-Stuyvesant. I love the Bedford-Stuyvesant historic landmarks, beautiful brownstones, magnificent architecture and neighborhood churches.

However, I am aware that there are many blocks within our Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights Communities that are economically depressed and need restoration and better community services.

We all are concern about education, parks, playgrounds and recreation for our children, healthcare, jobs and unemployment. We all want the access to good quality schools and parks for our children, good quality healthcare for ourselves and our families.

I encourage parents to get involve in your child or children's school. Be assertive and an empowered member of your child's or children school community. Attend PTA Meetings and have ongoing conversations with your child's or children school principals, teachers and parent coordinators. Keep abreast of your child's or children school activities and be involved as much as possibile.

One of my primary functions as a parent is to advocate on behalf of my children. I encourage parents to get involve in community meetings about improving parks, playgrounds and recreation centers for our children's safety and fun.

Let's continue this conversation. There are compelling Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights Community neighborhood issues, needs and enviromental eyesores that are serious and we need to discuss.

As your Central Brooklyn Community Activist Blogger and a Qualified Candidate for Brooklyn's 36th District City Council Seat I need to blog and address the issues you deem important.

The Cornegy 2009 Blog is an essential online community forum for people living in the Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights Community to share thoughts and exchange ideas.

What are your concerns for our Central Brooklyn community neighborhoods?

What concerns you the most about living in the Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights Communities?

Witnessing leadership from others can be very inspiring. Leadership can emerge from anyplace. Leadership can emerge from anyone, anytime, anywhere.

You might think that community leaders are always politicians. However, you can be a leader and a person of influence for your family, for your block, for your neighborhood and for your community.

There are many leaders in our Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights communities from our neighborhoods with the Neighborhood Block Associations Captains, Neighborhood Block Watchers and Neighborhood Churches.

Leadership starts with you!

Please Feel Free To Join the Cornegy 2009 - New York Public Libraries Offer Our Children More Than Books Conversation.

New York Public Libraries play a vital role in our communities. You can get more than a book from the public library. Today as a member of a local library you and/or your child has access to computers, the internet and the world.

You can go anywhere in the world instantly on the Internet. New York Public Libraries provides free wireless Internet access to library users.

Our community public libraries were the original centers to go research and access pertinent information, periodicals, books and reading materials before the World Wide Web.

I am a strong supporter of the New York Public Libraries and it's enhancing literacy programs that encourage our youth to read. Our New York Community Libraries books offer our children ideas and ways to empower themselves.

Recently, I read the book from the library 'Horton Hears A Hoot' to second and third graders. The book story can be parrell to underserve communities. I was amazed when the children were able to vocalize the empowerment concepts in the book.

"No matter how small I am I can be heard".

Let us hear your thoughts. Please comment below.

How much of a difference can our Brooklyn, New York Public Libraries make in your child's or children lives?

How much of a difference can the subliminal messages of children's books read make in your child's or children lives?

I am encouraging all parents to stay involved in the educational process and social activities that help foster growth, a well-rounded personality, moral character, independence and good civility in our children.
