NATIONAL PRESS CLUB, WASHINGTON D.C. — Sheriff Clarke talks about Ferguson Missouri and how
politicians and irresponsible groups came like vultures on a roadside carcass to exploit the situation. Eric Holder
made a bad situation worse with self-serving rhetoric. 9-17-14
Clarke is a lifelong resident of the City of Milwaukee and in March 2002 was appointed Sheriff by Governor
Scott McCallum, and eight months later was elected to his first four-year term, earning 64% of the vote. Sheriff
Clarke is now in his third term, having been re-elected in November 2006 and 2010, increasing his victory
margins to 73% and 74%.
Clarke graduated summa cum laude from Concordia University Wisconsin with a degree in Criminal Justice
Management, and in May 2003, Concordia honored him with their Alumnus of the Year Award. Sheriff Clarke
also is a graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. This prestigious school trains law
enforcement executives from all over the world, and provides management and leadership instruction. In July
2004, he completed the intensive three-week Program for Senior Executives in State and Local Government, at
the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Sheriff Clarke was honored in May 2013, with the Sheriff of the Year Award from the Constitutional Sheriffs and
Peace Officers Association for, “demonstrating true leadership and courage. . . staying true to his oath, true to
his badge, and true to the people he has promised to serve and protect.”

Maybe it's time to outlaw the "V" word - consider below:
Be a Survivor
The greatest threat to the future of America and us as her citizens can be reduced to six words:
I am a victim of __________________________.
By declaring oneself a “victim” we create a self-fulfilling prophecy of limitation and forfeit our freedom and opportunity. We build an insurmountable firewall between ourselves and the possibilities of tomorrow. We declare and accept as lord and master a person, circumstance, or condition that will control our destiny. We allow ourselves to be enslaved.
Before giving up, study - Christopher Reeve, the Special Olympics, Jim Brady, millions of Cancer Survivors, and other victors over adversity. These are everyday heroes who have fallen or were knocked down and have had the courage to stand up and be the greatest that they can be based upon the conditions that exist at that moment.
Remember the “little engine that could” and “the ant and the rubber tree plant”.
“Never give in, never, never, never!” – Winston Churchill (Harrow School – 1941)
“Nothing in this world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Perseverance and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” Calvin Coolidge
