Original Cast of ‘Good Times’ Seeks $1 Million Through Kickstarter Campaign… (VIDEO)

Feb, 29 2016 | Written by ATLien

News broke last year that Sony was adapting the 70’s sitcom, ‘Good Times,’ to a feature film, but apparently the original actors had been left out of the script.

Forty years have gone by since the show ended, but the iconic show that took us into the lives of Florida & James Evans’ struggle to raise their 3 kids in a Chicago housing project, still airs today on several networks.

Ester Rolle (Florida Evans) passed away in 1998 but John Amos, Ja’Net Dubois, Jimmy Walker, Bernadette Stanis and Ralph Carter (the actors who portrayed, James, Willona, JJ, Themla and Michael) are pleading with fans to contribute to to their efforts to create a ‘Good Times’ reunion movie project.

While you would think it would be easy for the iconic sitcom stars, they’ve only managed to raise $8,470 of the $1 MILLION they are seeking and their crowd funding campaign over in just a few days.

FOR DISCUSSION: Ku Klux Klan Takes ‘Adopt-A-Highway’ Denial to Georgia Supreme Court…

Feb, 25 2016 | Written by ATLien

Does the Ku Klux Klan have a constitutional right to “adopt a highway” in Georgia?

Well the State of Georgia’s Department of Transportation has said ‘NO’ and denied the groups attempts to participate in their ‘Adopt-A-Highway’ litter cleanup program.

The application was rejected in 2012 by Georgia’s DOT which claimed the 65-mph speed limit in the area exempted the stretch from the adoption program, but it also stated that the group’s “long-rooted history of civil disturbance would cause a significant public concern.”

A few months later, the KKK chapter filed a lawsuit and are now taking the issue to the Georgia Supreme Court in hopes that they can one day rock their white hooded gear and spread their message of hate while cleaning up Georgia’s highways.

Oddly enough, the Klan has the support of the ACLU in their quest.
