Walken 2008 ???

I just came across the Walken 2008 Official Website, via a post at Philly Future.

My first reaction was, well, I’m not really sure—how would someone react to this sort of news, if it were true?

Thank you for bringing attention to the Latoyia case! I live in Colorado, and spend hours searching multiple channels, hoping to find an update on her story. Not only has it been impossible to find an update, it’s impossible to find the STORY at all! I don’t understand why she isn’t receiving the same publicity as was Lacy Peterson? I don’t know why her unborn child has not become the Nations beloved yet, lost, unborn baby? And her poor little 7-year old! What has happened to that child? Who is caring for her? I care about what has happened to her and her children, and I care about the discriminatory nature, in which our broadcasters choose to broadcast. I heard one reporter ask a Philadelphia newsperson whether or not the investitators had “any news on whether Latoyia owed anyone any money, and if that could be a reason for her disappearance?” I was horrified! The implication was so blatant, and just downright racist! I hope that you are in a position to champion a change for this beautiful young lady and her children. Thank you….
