The following note was included in the report by the Baltimore NAACP:
"This report card is designed to provide NAACP Baltimore City Branch members and our community with insight into the general voting patterns of our Maryland State Legislative representatives (City Senators and Delegates) over the course of the 2007 Maryland General Assembly Special Session and the 2008 Maryland General Assembly Session.
The NAACP would urge people who receive this Report Card to do so carefully, to thank Members who consistently supported us throughout the two (2) legislative sessions and/or on specific issues of particular importance to Americans concerns about civil rights. We also hope people will encourage members who were less supportive of the NAACP issues to review and rethink their positions."

The Glover Report: In Support of Brother Darren:
For the record, to date there has been no response from the BCPS or from Dr. Andres Alonso. For the record, I sent a request to the communications department for a response via video, radio, or print.
Mind you, this is all on camera. Check the tape.
Pardon my judgement, but something seems fundamentally wrong, especially when former Baltimore City Police Commissioner Kevin P. Clark was immediately ousted for an alleged domestic incident.
How come nobody is asking any questions about Dr. Alonso? He is charge of our children’s education. Need I say more? Prompt any questions from you?
