Misrepresented Facts in Gingrich-Stansberry & Associates ‘Errant E-mail’ Story

Posted on by


Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) November 02, 2012

“Yesterday morning, subscribers to former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich’s newsletter received an e-mail from our organization predicting President Barack Obama will win re-election,” said George Rayburn, publisher from Stansberry & Associates.

Mr. Gingrich has drawn criticism from his supporters for allowing the e-mail to go out to readers of his Gingrich Marketplace publication.

“We would like to clarify some misstatements in the resulting news coverage,” stated Rayburn.

ABC News reported that Human Events the company that manages Mr. Gingrich’s e-mail list mistakenly sent out a promotional advertisement by Stansberry & Associates Investment Research. In addition to predicting President Obama’s victory this month, the video also describes how he will use that power to secure a third term, despite current constitutional prohibitions.

Rayburn further stated, “The mailing was not a mistake. Stansberry & Associates Investment Research rented the Gingrich list in question as we have before.”

Representatives from Human Events were quoted saying, It [the Stansberry promotion] was actually scheduled to run on another of our lists.” A spokesman for Mr. Gingrich said, We do not rent to the entity in question and said we are on his organization’s “blacklist.”

Rayburn then went on to say, “In fact, we have worked with Human Events and advertised with the Gingrich organization several times, most recently in September.”

Weve had a great working relationship with Human Events for several years, said Chad Barrett, director of online marketing at Stansberry & Associates. The mailing was not a mistake. If weve been blacklisted, thats news to us. This isnt the first time weve advertised in Gingrich Marketplace. We ran two other ads in September 2012.

The promotion in question featured Porter Stansberry, founder of Stansberry & Associates Investment Research, predicting the re-election of President Barack Obama and went on to tell viewers how they can capitalize financially on this event one that Stansberry sees as, unfortunate but inevitable.

San Diego Black Health Associates Join Forces with Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program for California Statewide Initiative

Posted on by


Los Angeles, CA, (PRWEB) April 12, 2012

The San Diego Black Health Associates (SDBHA) has just confirmed its partnership for the upcoming Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program taking place across the state of California on Saturday, May 12th, 2012.

From 11AM-4PM, volunteers will mobilize in San Diego cities along with metro cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco to facilitate screenings in over 75 black-owned barbershops. The program anticipates screening approximately 1,500 African American men for diabetes and high blood pressure during the multi-city event. Participants will also receive healthy lifestyle education and medical resources for local clinics and physicians.

San Diego Black Health Associates are working with the Black Barber Shop effort based in Los Angeles to ensure that African American men to act in their own best health interests. We want consumers to know that chronic health conditions like diabetes and obesity are preventable. We are thoroughly convinced that by making a few changes to our diet and exercising regularly, we can live longer, function in a pain free environment and be the model for our children that they need says Paul Simms, SDBHA President.

Founded by the Diabetic Amputation Prevention Foundation (DAP) in 2007, the tour has visited over 750 barbershops in 50 cities and 13 states and will continue its mission to screen 500,000 African American men by the end of 2014. This unique and innovative grassroots program works strategically with black-owned barbershops, because it represents such a cultural institution of familiarity and trust among African American malesmaking it the most effective avenue to disseminate health education information.

“The need to address health care disparities in African American men is paramount in light of the fact that they have the lowest life expectancy of any group in the U.S.,” says Dr. Bill J. Releford, D.P.M., founder of the DAP Foundation. “For decades, the black barbershop has served as a centralized gathering place where African American men feel comfortable discussing the most important issues that impact their lives: politics, social trends, family and finances. Now, we are introducing an important discussion of health and the critical need for health awareness.”

Compared to the general public, it is African American males who have a higher risk of diabetes and other cardiovascular conditions, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The American Diabetes Association estimates that 3.7 million (14.7 percent) African Americans ages 20 years or older have diabetes, while statistics show that forty percent (40 percent) of African American men die prematurely from cardiovascular disease as compared to twenty-one percent (21 percent) of white men.

Dr. Bill Releford organized the initiative to empower African American men to better understand cardiovascular diseases. As he travels across the country to spread awareness, he welcomes corporations, small businesses and county facilities to get involved in the mission.
