Gussing, Mr. Claycomb wants to hide or change the name to verify that like I said Missouri is well connected, Guess that explains the Cover up of Racism when you report the issues.....cause how you gonna get HELP when you complaining to the same people you complaining about...from Naacp President, who happens to work for the state as a Attorney, Kent Brown who represents Linn, the who's also on board of curators @ Lincoln U. Where Naacp hold thier meetings so connect the Dots then we want talk about the state agencies......But this is how Missouri support its Troops. Lol and these are F A C T S. Can i get my benefits back........
