Bringing you the information and tools you need in order to improve public education and lower taxes and spending; during the past two decades of the voucher debate an entire generation has grown up in the public school system.  
If you don't think this is important look at the Nov. 2008 election where folks voted based on emotions and hope rather than facts.  Let's put a stop to the school-to-prison pipeline -- and keep our public schools locally run, strong and free..

About the "Don't Tread on Me" Gadsden flag:
"it was in the fall of 1775 when the United States Navy was
established. Their main job was to intercept British ships who
were attempting to deliver supplies to the British troups in the
colonies. To support the Navy, five companies of Marines
were mustered to accompany them on their first mission.
These first Marines originated from Philadelphia and carried
drums painted yellow with a coiled rattlesnake with thirteen
rattles. These thirteen rattles represented the original thirteen
colonies. The motto painted on these drums was "Don't
Tread On Me". This is the first recorded telling of what the
future Gadsden flag would symbolize. This flag was designed
and named after American patriot Christopher Gadsden."

By day most folks at Houston's Baylor University Medical School know Mustafa Ata
Atik as a doctor and as a medical instructor -- enough to keep anyone busy.

But Mustafa wears a few other hats:
Mustafa Ata Atik
Mustafa is also Cosmos Foundation
board member & treasurer
(Cosmos is the owner-operator of the
largest chain of taxpayer-funded
charter schools in not just Texas but
also the US, the Harmony academies).
But wait, there's more
According to the Texas Comptroller's office, Mustafa also owns not one but two for-profit businesses here in
Texas, Marka Trade, Inc. and Atiks Trade Inc.

gets no pay.
Mustafa's other businesses and their AKA's
According to his registered agent of record, Huseyin Koral, Marka Trade,
Inc. appears to be or to have been Also Known As "
Istanbul Market."  Oh,
look, here's a photo of Marka Trade's registered agent, Huseyin Koral, in
front of the "Istanbul Market."  
Curious about Cosmos
Foundation Treasurer Mustafa
Atik's registered agent Huseyin
Koral?
  Here's his NetLog info for
"marka1972" in Turkish & English:

- 38 years, Houston, USA

NOTE:  The above is from
Huseyin's publicly available profile.
According to the sign visible behind Huseyin at
right, the Istanbul Market sells groceries, from
Europe and the Mediterranean.  

It doesn't look like a very large store, does it?

Wanting to know more, I eventually found a bill
of lading from 2006 for Marka Trade's purchase
of 152 packages of Italian-made mattress bases.

Hmmm.  What on Earth would a small grocery
business be doing with so many beds?  Where
would they put them?

Were Cosmos Foundation's officers like Mustafa
Ata Atik elected by voters, we could ask him
questions like this come election time.   

But, alas, Cosmos Foundation board members are
appointed, not elected; I've been asking Cosmos
superintendent Soner Tarim these questions since
last June 2 with no information provided yet
beyond a June 5 promise to respond which has
not yet been honored.
