Dear Mr. Gibson:

The material you sent to GLEF has been forwarded to me for a response. We appreciate your interest in our company; however, because your correspondence contains unsolicited creative ideas or projects, we must return material to you unread.  Accordingly, you will find your materials enclosed

We appreciate your interest in our company and hope you maintain your enthusiam for our productions.  Thank you for your interest in Lucasfilm.

My Response: This is the typical response I get when sharing information and ideas and asking for employment, partnerships, and or a job as a consultant with several established companies in the U.S. [Maybe I need to try outside the country in places lke Brazil, Cuba, Venusuila, in the Carribean or on the African Continent!!]  All I want to do is create opportunites from Black youth, especially males, but not only males, for my company with various projects and make a decent living for myself. [I am willing to settle on a salary of $50,000.00 a year, which is a bargin considering how hard I work and what I do as far as Advocacy, Education, and Research and Public Relations. I am NOT sure WHAT GLEF is, but as yuo can see the name on the letter they are saying I sent to Lucasfilm Ltd. is The Philadelphia Youth Network.  I have placed the original letter I sent to Lucasfilm at the bottom of this letter. It is UP next.

Ms. Stacy Holland,
President and CEO
Of; Philadelphia Youth Network
714 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106

Dear Sister Holland:

I hope you and your family are doing fine and well. I want to make some suggestions for your COrporation and your foundation to invest in. My Corporatuon, which is called ``Brother Tracy Gibson and Associates, INc.,'' has fouor components I am interested in getting funding for and I am hoping you can help me because we are very much interested in the same thing--helping Our Youth!!!  I am hoping we can work in partnership on some of these projects because I am very much geared towards helping our youth and young adults.  I really think they need help and direction and I feel very strongly about this, as I am a survivor of sexual and mental child abuse myself and have grown a Big Heart for Black Youth especially.  I hope you will remember me, I am the tall Brown gentleman who spoke last at the WURD Forum at the Franklin Institute last week.  The four components I am working on which I want to talk with you about are as follows:

1} I have three books I Really, Really want to publish. The first book is entitled ``A Grass Roots Criteria for Liberation.'' This two parts of the same book {Part 1; and Part II} and is dedicated to Black Youth and there issues.  It also relates to Latin youth and any other poor, disenfranchised and or disabled youth who need direction, help in thinking more clearly, and a better attitude about life. It will also help many youth who are identified as Same Gender Loving or Gay in their sexual orentation, as it contains much of my life's story as a Same Gender Loving Black man and a political activist in the Philadelphia region for about 35 years. It is designed to build better values for the people in the community including responsibility for the decisions the make; more respect for the people in the community including peers, the elderly, their parents, teachers, guardians, police and firemen; more dignity about themselves; more interests in Black History and Blacks in antiquity; more interests in business, finance and becoming an entrepreneur; more interests in education and learning etc.  This first volume is designed and told by telling my own personal story and interjecting political analysis and old family stories with life-lessons, celebrity profiles and reviews of artistic events included.  I need $40,000.00 to get these books published. The third book is entitled: ``Let the Children Gather--A Fantasy World of Real Life Poems,'' It is a book of poetry that reflects the high level of anger, frustration and resentment that is ramped among Black male youth at being blocked out of the economic and financial progress they see going on in their community and at seeing what little progress they are allowed to make often become suppressed, stolen and ignored. I need $20,000.00 to publish this book. 2} I want to start a mostly Black, but partially multi-cultural security firm to help protect the growing and valued Black infrastructure across North America protect itself from racially motivated negative violence and other security problems such as theft and other forms of destruction.  I especially want to help Black businesses right here in West Philadelphia, South West Philadelphia and North Philadelphia.  I am in contact with a Miss Stephanie White who has a successful security company in Dallas, Texas {1.469.230.1849} Address: Post Office Box 181947, Dallas, Texas 75218. I have also been in touch with a Mr. August Scott of Brooklyn, New York who worked several years for the Metropolitian Museum of Art as a security guard. I plan to hire both of them as consultants as I begin the process of starting my own local security firm. {You may know the story from the 1920's on Tulsa, Oklahoma where what was called the ``BLACK WALL STREET'' was destroyed after a racial incidentsparked a White Supremist Riot.} We cannot afford to have our valuable Black infrastructure destroyed in a matter of days when it took us 50 years to build it up.  {Not only were some 350 Black people killed in Tulsa, but hotels, restaurants, large stores, funeral homes and other types of businesses owned and operated by Black people were also destroyed and burned to the ground.} We need $150,000.00 in seed money for our security firm to be centered and headquartered in Philadelphia.  We plan to hire former police officers, firemen and fire eomen, veterans coming back from the two wars our Nation has been involved in; and young people who desperatly need full-time and part-time employment in the Philadelphia region to work with us.  We will have training in Philadelphia and a full, state of the art, Green, environmentally friendly building for our headquarters.  3} Another aspect of our corporation is called ``The Knowledge Hut Business Plan and The Knowledge Hut On-Line Store.''  This store will provide CD's, DVD's, Movies, Tee-Shirts, Greeting Cards, Posters, Books and a few light and healthy snack foods for young people to purchase and for their parents and guardians to buy for them and sometimes, to enjoy for themselves.  Grandchildren, nieces, youth, children, cousins, second cousins and nephews will find delight in the products and will also be gaining an education in the strong values and ethics that are so lacking in our communities.  The ONLY Products to be sold in our stores will be those products that uphold high s=community standards and values; represent positive social values and positive knowledge and understanding of complex political issues. The products will not just be thrown at our yuong customers, our parents and grandparents and guardians, they will be specially selected to build again, positive values in our young people such as responsibility, reliability, punctuality, obeying the law, business ethics, not bully or smoke, how to start businesses in a tough economy and a tough business environment, and how to negotiate out of problems and conflicts instead of using violence and intimidation to solve problems--a lesson our own national government and many corporations could use to learn.  Many of the products we are planning to sell we will produce at our own factory and we will hire some of the youth to get paid good living wages for their efforts.  {We are starting as an on-line store to avoid the tremendous cost of building a modern, state of the art, Green factory right in North, South West or West Philadelphia at first, but we don'y think it will take too long before our dreams come to life and our hard work pays off.} We did test marketing of greeting cards and Tee-Shirts from April 2006 to September of 2007 at 3819 Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia, Penn 19104, when we had an office here in Philadelphia's Powelton Village Section.  We will be Progressive and stress education and knowledge building in every aspect of what we do. Our whole corporate effort is aimed at helping stabalize and support our youth.  Our books will not be selected to titillate and sexually excite {such books will not be sold by us}, but our books will be selected to educate, inform, build self-help and self-survival skills as well as build self-esteem, self-respect, family values and other positive traits for the Black family to build from.  They will also help stimulate intellectual growth while helping develop good study habits, good hygiene and neighbor-building skills as our young people learn how to get along with other races, other religions and other types of people who are different from them.  We are seeking $450,000.00 for ``The Knowledge Hut Business Plan'' and ``The Knowledge Hut Stores.''  {You can see our full Business Plan by going to Google: inputting Brother Tracy Gibson: and clicking on ``The Politics of Real'' This is my Blog.  You will see a section that says ``The Knowledge Hut Business Plan'' 4} Another component we are planning is our Talent Agency--NOT YET NAMED..... I remember once taking a tenent {I have been a Landlord and Property Owner and Property Manager for 28 years}. I took a tenent to try-out for an international Star-Search Program and found a line wrapped around the Hotel on City Line Avenue for 4 blocks!!  I have people in my church and in the Black community who I know who want to partner with me for this aspect of the business.  My church's name is The Unity Fellowship Christ Church of Philadelphia, which is part of a network if some 30 churches across the country.  I have family members who work in the entertainment business who I am sure will also help with consulting on this matter.

That is it in a nutshell!!  I hope you can help.  I have 35 years of dedicated work behind me as a community organizer and a community activst.  {Please see my Resume (Under Brother Tracy Gibson's Resume) enclosed or on the Blog--http://thepoliticsofreal.blogspot.com/

My Corporate EIN number is 27-0145705

I have contacted several Billionaires about my ideas including: Warren Buffett ad George Sorros... But neither of them has contacted me as yet.  I hope yo will give me a chance, because what I want to do will work towards the betterment of our entire country in the long run, as our Black youth stop being seen as a major ``problem'' and start to live, productive, viable and proactive lives as solutions to our facing head on the problems of sustainability, economic self-sufficiency and energy independence. The more we do to help our youth become viable and productive on the frint end, the less we will have to spend on the back end for prison space, food and shelter for them as ``vagrants and homeless people, and in the court system, detension homes and the prison system.  Our Youth deserve our attention and our help as well as our direction, care appreciation and LOVe.  I thank you for your consideration.

Post Script: I deeply appreciate the work you have done and contine to do through the various programs you have founded and supported. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
