My name is Brian Mannix and I have been committed to Andrew Yang,,his, and The Forward Party ideals since I first read about his candidacy in an MIT Technology Review article in about March of 2018. My skill set is in building sustainable, structural organizations and have left in my path systems that still exist to this day.
From the accounting system that I implemented in the student government at Bucknell University to my local radio show Tri,-State Sound that I produced and hosted on WLIR to the Akidemy Awards (a Middle School team project where the students have to answer the question in documentary format – What is the greatest pro lemmfacing the nation today,?) to the Advisory Committee at Great Neck South Middle School as well as a Professional Development Tech Training Cafe style room for the teachers at Great Neck as Shared Decision Making Chair.
I’ve had experience in public service as both the President of the Democracy for Long Island chapter where we demanded and received paper ballots to stay away from Diebolt Election Machines and served the Village of Sea Cliff’ Trustee.for two years where the importance and value of systems became so clear when the entire knowledge of all of the operations of a 5,000 person, 1 square mile Village’s Public Works Department, whom if hit by a bus , would have put the Village in some pretty deep you know what. We fixed all of that.
I know I’ve struck out about three times with Yang & The Forward Party. I turned down a job w/Andrew in Iowa (I had to-didn’t want to).
After going to Georgia with my oldest son to make sure Trump couldn’t get too close to the flame and flip the Senate blue, (which Twitch star Destiny did singlehandedly by my math from the sheer number of people who came down at his request whether they knew politics or not),, met the people from the MATH Movement in both I’m both Columbus and Savannah (where my mini-me son literally left me in each city in the middle of nowhere. I tried to bring the Math Movement concept as Yang Yotels where people could stay, each w/a Google Home/Nest and go out and make Yang Mayor.
Then Yang wrote Forward and I again knew I had to commit my life to this man, planned on nominating him for Governor as I ran (sadly) in Hakeem’s district for a seat as the 1st Forwardist in Congress potentially being the tie breaking vote if Warren/Yang ran together as Forwardist, it would go to the House and it could have been . .blah, blah, blah.
Past is prologue. I know you have not had faith in me thus far. I’m sure you already have a NY State Leader and I don’t need to be that, but America is in my DNA from my 6th Great Grandfather Richard Henry Lee, who proposed w/the Lee Resolution that these colonies become a free and independent nation:.the United States of America.
We’re in trouble folks the second they indict Trump. He’s announcing on January 6th, I’d bet my life and that is the day that my band Eddie Sing & The 31 Days is releasing an interactive album called American Split.
It’s NOT about me.
It’s about building a sustainable structure for the New York State component within a 50 state effort to build the strongest and most representative party this nation has ever seen. This is without question America’s darkest hour thus far and The Forward Party could be a unifying force that ends structural bias and injustice as well as working toward building a world where we put humanity first and guard against the quantum computing powered near sentient bots.
We need The Forward Party like we needed Bruce Springsteen after 9/11.
It’s true and whether you love me or hate me, I have the time to devote, the work would be more than enough pay and frankly I’d like to be given a chance to prove myself in a quantifiable way because it seems so obvious that there are a lot of doubts about me. Blair blocked me on Twitter for some reason. I have no clue, either way I want to help and I know how to build an infrastructure ofnan22st Century Public Servant part pushing us one way and one way only: Forward! I hope you will give Brian Mannix/Eddie Sing a chance to prove himself.
A sincere peace,
Brian Mannix
