STOP THE PRESSES! WHAT THE *^%#? The ‘Stop Cussin LLC Campaign’ Generates the Buzz, While Brent Hatch of ‘The No Cussing Club’ Gets the National Recognition North Charleston, SC, March 14, 2009 "I have done this from my own pockets – no corporate sponsors, no fanfare, no wanting to use children as a pawn for me to make a profit – because I have a son that is about the same age as McKay Hatch, but I know that in order for this to be effective, it has to be spearheaded from an adult. I have ‘community sponsors,’ people that give their time to the cause because they, too, want to see their communities uplifted. It is deeper than cussing, so for anyone that may think that we have bigger issues in the world than just cussing, think again. The bigger issue is that we are now allowing television, radio and negative elements in the community to raise our youth, and that is what the Stop Cussin Campaign has always been about since its inception – challenging the minds of our youth and certainly profanity is one element that has an adverse impact on how they may think and feel, and if we can achieve restructuring their minds and what comes out of their mouth, then we have won half of the battle. You can imagine how I felt when I saw Brent Hatch and his son, McKay Hatch, on the Dr. Phil show in 2008. Hatch appearing to be an opportunist using the opportunity to exploit his young son, who was totally oblivious as to why he wanted for others to join him in not cursing. I became completely numb, and wondered why they received the national coverage, but my organization has been in existence before theirs. I also thought of the possibility of them tarnishing all that myself and my campaign has worked hard to achieve through our countless of city to city workshops, seminars, health fairs, church and community events, while also rewarding the youth with free giveaways to keep them encouraged, with us never asking for any money. The interview clearly showed a young Hatch being uncomfortable with what he was saying, while the elder Hatch also seemed nervous as well. The son, who now seems to be left to fend for self these days, admitted that his dad still uses profanity in the home! So how can you not practice what you preach, unless your efforts are in fact for a profit?"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
While Ellington, who is no stranger to the media, as she has spent most of her life as a television and radio personality, as well, she has received local and out of state coverage through newspapers, online radio interviews, local television interviews and online news sites, is not blaming this solely on race, she cannot help but wonder that if she had been of another race, would she have gotten into the national public eye a lot sooner with her efforts that have never been about recognition, but about raising awareness to help her expand in the helping hand process that her campaign would be able to lend to communities throughout the U.S. and abroad. As a woman of business, she has not only sent a Cease and Desist letter to Hatch for clearly infringing upon her campaign’s concepts, but has also called and spoken to the man with whom she feels has stolen from her campaign for personal gain – which proved to be evident when she was unpleasantly greeted with a mind boggling statement such as; ‘wouldn’t a campaign such as this seem better coming from my son?’
Keeping with Stop Cussin LLC Campaign’s mission of being ‘dedicated to continue our works as a grassroots organization with creating opportunities, rebuilding the community back together as a village and empowering every young and elder person which crosses our path. We know firsthand what the communities yearn for and are so desperately in need of…Even though our mission has been spiritually birthed in 2005, our hard work from then until now is making a difference and leaving an inerasable mark for Love, Hope and Character. We will not be sold for a price. The future of our youths and elders depends on us taking a stand for what is right, not the "Price is Right!"’ With the above mentioned being stated, Ellington asks that Brent Hatch does the only right and respectable thing, and that is to admit that he has taken her campaign’s idea from a conceptual stance and immediately donate any ‘for-profit’ funds to the Stop Cussin LLC Campaign to help the youth and enter it into the hands of people that are desperately in need of the assistance, while also allowing donators to their campaign to actually see where the money is going, and what it is going towards. She also requests that communities, Hip-Hop and organizations alike, boycott The No Cussing Club – an ‘organization’ where you really do not know where your donation dollars are being spent. Be it racial division, nationally, or be it politically driven, Ellington would like to make it known here and now, that the Stop Cussin LLC Campaign is the only true and unique campaign of its kind (nationally or locally), with pure intent and that ‘they will not be MOVED!’

Peace & blessings To Everyone:
We pray this notice reaches you as you’re in the best of health, wealth and great spirits. We just wanted to let you know if you have not already witness for yourself the attack on our mission "The Stop Cussin" Campaign. As of March 6, 2008 we have been bombarded with the deceitful messages of a so-called Campaign, "No Cussing" Club (www.nocussing.com) from South Pasadena, CA which has received National Media Coverage. We tried to understand their tactics and because we have been working diligently within our own Campaign since it was spiritually birth within our Founder Tonya E. we choose to deal with this ordeal in the DIVINE ORDER.
When one is being spiritual attacked and one’s mission is being MOCKED the imitators can not wear their suit comfortably. They will be exposed more each and every time they speak because the mission was not given to them to deliver. We are in no fashion working for a PROFIT of monies, however a PROFIT of enriching, re-building and healing all communities across the globe. We never at anytime announced our mission to be about one race, however an issue among everyone. The facts and truth is that our urban youths has a less chance of being productive and being hired because of the usage of their language. Our campaign is not about taking away someone’s FREEDOM of SPEECH, if we even have that anymore to be honest, however to get one to become more conscious of how they speak when they are among children, elders and anyone other space. It’s simply called RESPECT. We’re about bringing back together the VILLAGE we once HAD TODAY, so our Future Leaders of TOMORROW can be just as productive and success as we are TODAY!
Please note that we are fully aware that the race issue may come up, however please again note we have never made it an issue, the issue has been brought on by our oppressors as always. This is just another setup and setback to making our mission seem like a joke. Know that the works that I am ordered to do has nothing to be played with nor tamper with, it’s my Father’s Business! Just know that I am comfortable in my Armor Suit today, and I can only speak the TRUTH! I don’t force Spirituality on anyone, nor Religion. I can only be whom I have been created to be and that’s simple ME, Tonya Ellington.
So what I am asking for each and everyone of you that may come across this organization in any form of the media know the TRUTH! It was not given to this young man, however his Father Brent Hatch has placed the deceitful seed in him to be used as the product of selling their materials. They speak of selling and replacing words which can still have the meaning of the profane language. No where in their mission are they giving back into the community however they are taking. Just for your information Mr. Brent Hatch is the cousin of the U.S. Senate Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). The lesson to be learned with this information is that it’s all about who you know, not what you know or what you truly stand for within your heart, mind and soul!
So with this being said, I ask that everyone that has been supporting our Campaign/Movement please continue to do so. We will continue to bring the awareness and truth to our communities. Don’t allow yourself to be deceived. In our history in the past and also today as it remains there are STILL TWO SIDES of LIVING! Everyone are not willing, able nor ready to accept CHANGE! We’re witnessing it everyday in the POLITICS, CORPORATE WORLD, ECONOMY AND THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
We are the Elders, we can’t continue to FAIL our unborn, soon to be born, young children, teenagers, nor senior citizen with not standing up for what’s RIGHT! We are not in business for EGO’s nor TITLES! We are always being challenged as to why we should feel worthy!
Today, I stand to know my PURPOSE and WORTH! Please do what you can to spread the TRUTH about our MISSION! One way of helping us is to add our website link www.stopcussin.com to any page you may have which promotes any community affairs! If you’re in the media/blogger please conduct an interview with us as soon as possible. All the media coverage is very much needed RIGHT NOW!
We will leave with this two scriptures:
Proverb 14:
15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
We again thank each and everyone for their support. Keep up the GREATNESS!Respect Given Always,
Your Ndpendent Woman

* I don’t live nor walk for FAME, however I live and walk for CHANGE! *
Okay, I knew that you catch your attention, especially because it's coming from the Stop Cussin Founder, smile. I posed this question because of the works of the NEGATIVE SPIRITS which has embarked on our GROUNDS! Just in case you're not familiar on March 6, 2008 there was a press release blasted nation wide and the next day followed a live interview with the IMITATORS of our "STOP CUSSIN" CAMPAIGN, which calls themselves the "NO CUSSING" CLUB! Now I have to attempt I was on the verge of SWEARING, however I caught myself because One I know the works I am doing is the business of my High Power and two, the works of the ENEMY is to come to ROB, STEAL AND DESTROY!
Well, moving right along we quickly began our research and found out when they registered their website www.nocussing.com November 20, 2007 through GoDaddy.com and it's was done under the father Brent Hatch so-called company titled Dawson Publishing. Now I called and left a message and advised them of our Campaign and it's existance. Well, we got an email back with two words, GOOD JOB! Now I didn't know if the person thought I was conducting a 30 second comedy skit on my message however I know I was not laughing at anytime of my message. Now as we know because of technology we're not sure as to whom we're conversating with so I responded to the message please have your parents or attorney to contact me as soon as possible and I inserted my call back number. Well less than 20 minutes I received a call from Brent Hatch which happens to be the father of the young boy that is being used as the poster boy of the fathers scheme. He identified himself at Brent Hatch and we began our conversation pleasantly. I then went on to telling him how long we have been conducting our campaign since it's spiritual birth in Sept. 2005 and we have been moving forward ever since. We can't understand how they could come out of nowhere and duplicate our God-Given Mission and get NATIONAL COVERAGE! Mr. Hatch was trying to make things seem of no big issue, however he stated that his son is ONLY DOING THIS FOR HIS SCHOOL and I was not believing him at ALL. If that was the case why was it PLASTERED THROUGH the PRESS RELEASE of EVERY NEWS MEDIA OUTLET.. Then he tells me that we CAN WORK TOGETHER, now if this was not a SLAP IN THE FACE and a DOWNRIGHT INSULT, please tell me NOT TO CUSS, lol.. Why would I want to work with someone that CLEARLY STOLE OUR CONCEPT FROM THE CARTOON IMAGES TO IT"S CONTENT?
Hey I have to skip to the next paragraph it gets better, then he tells me that THEY ARE GETTING CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP, now BIG DEAL, however NOTE WE HAVE BEEN FINANCED BY MY OWN PERSONAL INCOME WITHOUT ANY CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP..now again I was not CUSSIN, however I have to be HONEST IF HE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ME ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO CUSSIN, CURSING, PROFANITY AND MY OWN MAKE UP WORDS WOULD HAVE BEEN FLYING THROUGH THE PHONE, However because I am a Totally Different Creature I continue to walk in my DIVINE ORDER, because again I know this is NOTHING BUT A SET-UP AND DISTRACTION!
Whew, now back to our conversation, I then said to him, we're just a bit baffle as to how this so-called club could gain national coverage and it's been in existance for bearly 4months and we have been doing it for almost 3 years, his response was if he was to have done it he wouldn't get the coverage, however MAYBE because his son is 14 years old he was able to receive the coverage..NOW again, it's very CLEAR that this man has NO IDEA that I WAS NOT BORN YESTERDAY AND I CLEARLY KNOW MY HISTORY OF MY ANCESTORS.. So He then slips and tells me about some UNKNOWN Man has come out with a NO CUSSING BOOK and HE IS MAKING ALOT OF MONEY! Well, again even though I could have SWEARED RIGHT THEN AGAIN I DIDN'T, I replied SIR I don't care about some man making money off of a book, it clear that THEY ARE IN THIS FOR THE MONEY! I just about had enough of Mr. Hatch and his deceitful tongue, so right after I stated to him to expect a call from a lawyer he tells me they are legal and he had to go because he had two calls coming in... NOW I WILL POSE MY QUESTION AGAIN DO I SWEAR NOW OR LATER?????
I am holding my composure and continue to walk in DIVINE ORDER. We participated at the Black Expo in Charleston, SC on March 8, 2008 and it was a blessing. What was also a blessings is so many people seen the IMITATORS on television and instantly knew something wasn't RIGHT! We have many of our supporters stop by with words of encouragment and even several students I have spoken to at a workshop given at their school. What really made my day was a mother brought a t-shirt for her son I believe he was about 5 years old and she asked him if he wanted to put it on and he said yes without any hesitation and was jumping up and down with joy to put on his brand new t-shirt, smile. Now this young boy does not know the impact he made in my heart, however this is why I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR OUR YOUTHS. IT'S ABOUT THEM AND THEIR FUTURE AND I REFUSE TO ALLOW ANYONE TO COME TAKE OWNERSHIP OF WHAT MY GOD HAS PLANTED WITHIN ME IN THE MORNING OF ONE DAY IN SEPT. 2005! PLEASE NOTE THERE HAS BEEN MANY THAT HAS SPROUTED OUT OF NOWHERE AFTER THE DON IMUS CASE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM EXISTED WAY BEFORE THEN.. WHAT TOOK OUR SO-CALLED NATIONAL ORGANIZATION SO LONG TO ATTEND TO THE CALLING OF OUR YOUTHS??? I HAVE TO KEEP IT REAL - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMIN!!!! WELL THEY CAN CONTINUE TO DO THEIR WICKED DEEDS HOWEVER EACH PERSON INVOLVED WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIER ACTIONS ON THEIR JUDGMENT DAY!!!!!
SO as I am seeking LEGAL ASSISTANCE I HAVE TO BE HONEST IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY - HOWEVER I ASKED MYSELF WHEN HAS IT EVER BEEN WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT 100% TRUTH???
Anywho, WE HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO MARCH WITH WHAT WE HAVE BEEN IMPLANTED AND I KNOW AS LONG AS I AM BREATHING OUR YOUTHS CAN COUNT ON ME WITH HELPING THEM TO BECOME JUST A PRODUCTIVE AS I HAVE BEEN, BECAUSE SOMEONE CARED ENOUGH ABOUT MY WELL BEING WHEN I WAS GROWING UP - FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW - IT'S CALLED THE VILLAGE!!!!!!
