"RE-INVENTS CASH FOR CLUNKERS"
The Board of Directors has purchased fifty former Cash
For Clunker automobiles, and will place them back in service.
"It is the belief of our Founder that these cars can be fixed and
placed back in service to help the disenfranchised."
These cars will go to the following communities:
Single Mother's with Children who need transportation
in order to work and keep their jobs.
The elderly who have medical clearance to drive,
who need a car to provide help to themselves and for others.
Men and women who need a car in order to keep their jobs
and who are working to provide for their families.
Men and Women who seek a fair opportunity to compete
in the workplace and need a vehicle as part of their vocation.
Organizations who provide a verified service to others.
These cars would have been destroyed as part of the Government
plan. We were able to convince car dealers to sell them to us
so that we can help others who need a vehicle in order to
provide for their families.
All vehicles are given free of charge to those selected
based on personal circumstances and need.
Vehicles will be distributed on Thanksgiving Day
once they have been Repaired, Certified,
Titled and Insured. We will also be providing
sixty days of insurance and $100 in fuel.

Has Fred Brito become
a World Class Superman?
Defending the dignity of the many who
have lost their way, Fred Brito sheds his
past and becomes the Master in defense of the
disenfranchised all across America.
Excerpt from a Keynote speech by Fred Brito in San Francisco, California on March 1, 2009 at The San Francisco Consortium:
Like a politician campaigning for public office, Fred Brito is constantly on a plane and traveling to many of the nation's hot spots. While he is not campaigning for public office, he is on a personal mission to speak out and defend the many who have lost their way. And he is doing it on his own dime and on his own conditions.
Below is an excerpt of a speech that he gave in San Francisco, California at the San Francisco Consortium. This was a four-day seminar that he created and organized in order to help the many who have severely been impacted by the U.S. economy. The attendees were people who have lost everything or who have fallen through the cracks of society and seek a way out. Fred Brito, without notes, speaks from his heart and guides the attendees in his Keynote Address, his dreams and his desires for the people unfold.
This is a tremendous accomplishment by someone who suffered a series of setbacks in his own life. Today, he champions the disenfranchised and lectures across America inspiring people to stand up and live there lives knowing that the Best in each of us is yet to come. -Windy St. James, San Fancisco Free Press.
Fred Brito is standing up and speaking out, and his voice is getting louder and louder.
"No longer can we just look away when we see people who have fallen through the cracks of our society. No longer is it okay to be a part of the Haves, while neglecting the Have's Not. No longer is it acceptable for politicians to speak great words of wisdom as to how they plan to help the disenfranchised, only to have their words end up as empty promises. I refuse to stand by while so many need help. I refuse to stand by and look the other way, and I refuse to sleep in my home, while so many call home, the streets of America. This has to change and we are all in this together.
The Have's and the Have's Not, we are all one people, and as one people we must rise and do what we can to ensure that no one, no one anywhere gets left behind. This is my mission and I will not rest, until children, the elderly and those that have been afflicted get the proper attention and care that they need in order to truly live in America. This is the most powerful country on earth people. It is inconceivable to me that we have so many who call the streets of America home, while politicians, and Wall Street continues to get the gold. We are not one country with many different people. We are one people who are all connected by one common thread.
I stand here today and I see many of you who have come to hear a message. I see your pain, and I see your suffering. While many of you are new to the ranks of the disenfranchised, due to the current economy, you also join a group of people all across this land that have waited too long and suffered too much, and have endured great pain and sacrificed. We are all one people. No matter if you are black or white, Asian or Latino... we are one people, and I refused to look the other way at your suffering.
I stand here today with a message. A simple message. A message of hope. Of forgiveness. But I also stand here with a much more powerful message. The message of love, and how that love will lead us out of despair if we all work together to ensure that as one people, we will make it to the other side... together. Therefore I say to you, as I have said in many parts of this nation, I will do what I can, I will urge whomever I can speak to, and I will challenge whomever I need to challenge, to get our voices heard. This economy will not get better in weeks or in months. We will continue to hear empty promises from all corners of our political system. But be sure of one thing, government is not the answer, the people are. People like you and I, who are tired of this struggle, and want the very best for our children and our elderly, but have no way of obtaining that help. Therefore is in incumbent on each of us to stand tall and begin the process of working together for one common cause.
In the olden days, HE taught us to fish, so that we might never go hungry. Today that same principle applies now more than ever. I am here today to being to teach the principles of survival in difficult times. There is no easy answer, but if we all apply ourselves towards working towards a solution, then and only then will be able to find a way out this darkness and into the light.
I can stand here today and I can speak wonderful words. I can inspire all of you to see that a better day is coming, but I also know that my words will not get us there, but my heart is in the right place, and I am determined to work hard and make a difference in not only your life, but the lives of so many others who have lost there way.
Today, we begin a four-day free seminar. In these four days many things will happen. You will become inspired and hopeful and you will learn many things, but it is all for naught if you leave here the same way that you walked in. In this seminar, I will teach you what you must Master in your own life, in order to make in this world. There is no other way. And certainly, there are no short cuts. So I urge you to listen, participate and immerse yourself in what is about to happen here. My hope is that you will become so empowered that you will create a solution to your challenges today here and now. But know one thing, though you take this seminar, and despite the fact that it is free, I will tell you this, you will have to earn each of the steps. Anything that is free or that comes easy in life is not earned, and when it is not earned, it is never valued. So earn this day and the next. Be a part of the internal change that will become you. Stand up and be proud of who and what you are. Let no one, make you feel second-class, and always strive to be the very best in all that you do.
Finally, we were all born with some important things in life. Our Word. Our dignity. Many of us like I have, have destroyed this by what we have done and by what we have become. But it is not too late to change and to earn what we have lost or given away. It is not over until it is over. So as you begin this seminar, I urge you to search deep within you. Look inside and discover where you have been, and where your dreams will take you. Many of you know me or have heard of me. I have made so many mistakes in life that I am embarrassed to admit them. But admitting them is a must in order to move forward. Learn who you are, and once you do you will be able to build a new foundation upon what you will build and eventually become. Dream your dreams. I do each and every day. And trust me, I have made more mistakes in my lifetime that will surprise you, but I have also learned the power of forgiveness. I needed to forgive me, before I was able to allow others to forgive me. This seminar will literally shock you with what you are all about to learn, and I promise you, this will not be the last time that you will see me. Never think that I am here one day and gone the next. I am here and I am only a telephone call or an email away. and I do accept collect calls.
This seminar is not successful unless YOU become successful. This seminar is not finished this weekend. It continues until all of you have accomplished your dreams. Your dreams are also my dreams. So stand up, be strong, be proud and I promise you that if you soak everything into your mind that you will learn here this week, and apply it into your life each and every day... Oh my God.... I can't wait to see who you will become. I love each and every one of you, and though I don't know you individually yet, I will. So let's begin the journey, and let's always remember... The Best in each of us is yet to come. This is our beginning!
THE FRED BRITO PROJECT
An Extreme Make Over for the many who have lost their way!
Taking those who have lost everything due to this economy
and inspiring them to stand up again. To become more successful
than they ever dreamed possible.
The Fred Brito Project
~Rebuilding Lives on National TV~
Those of you that know me know that I am a master at successfully achieving the impossible. My life has been nothing short of thinking of an idea and turning it into reality. For the past thirty years, I have turned around national corporations that were at the brink of bankruptcy and inspired new life by turning them into powerful organizations that compete with only one thing in mind: Being and operating 'Second to None.' I have done the same for people who lost hope, and together we found a way to turn their dreams. . . into reality.
Now, comes a new idea. We have all seen ABC's Extreme Make Over where they find a family that deserves a new home and surprises them by building it free of charge. This is a show that keeps on giving. It is the concept of giving back that I love so much.
Here is my idea: Instead of a house that we give, imagine if you will using this same concept to turn lives around that have been broken. What I do is to take people are at their lowest ebb; "Broken" and living in despair and over a short period of time, send them back out into the real world "Whole and with all of the tools and inner desire to literally make their dreams a successful reality." This is turning my dream of helping others into a whole new virtual reality.
In this program you will be able to see and learn how I do it. I will show how people just like you and I who have lost their way, find new hope not in others, but in themselves. New hope to pick themselves up after a fall, and rebuild their lives and literally fulfill their highest dreams. Is it really possible in today's gloomy economic forecast? You bet! It is only gloomy if you want it to be. I have done it over and over again in my own life, and now, I will share how I do it with others.
If you THINK IT, you can BE IT.
So here is what is coming up on Realty TV in 2010. The Fred Brito Project is now in the works, and a new powerful Reality TV Show is taking root:
BACKGROUND:
People all over the world know that I am a Master at successfully accomplishing anything I dream to do. (The word dream is important to remember here.) People know that I have the talent and skills to literally accomplish the impossible. For thirty-seven years I have done just that. If given a life of lemons, I will turn it into lemonade each and every time. Now there is a real difference in that statement. I never said that I would try to turn a life of lemons into lemonade; I said that I will turn it into lemonade. And there is no doubt about it either!
This is what I have done all of my life and I continue to empower, inspire and motivate people all across the world to turn their lives around, and I show them step by step how to do it. Far to many times, I have had to start from scratch and rebuild my own life, and when I did, I did it against all odds, and I was successful at everything I set out to do. Why? Because I was determined not to become dependent on others but independent on myself and my inner ability and desire to WIN at all costs. I refused to allow myself to dwell in the "poor me" syndrome, and I refused to wait on others to help me to stand up and make things happen. I knew early on, "No one was going to help me but ME, so I better get busy and claimed my life back."
It makes no sense that I have these skills and not share them with others. So this was the birth of a plan. A plan that caught the eye of national television. Now, I am teaching others how to stand up and be counted and when given a life of lemons, how to turn those lemons into lemonade.
So here is the plan:
People all across the world know that I have no problem getting a job. When I set out to get a CEO job with only a GED, I did so, not once, but thirty-seven times at some of America's most well known corporations. Now, I teach others how to get a high paying job, a place to live and savings in the bank and how to live out their dreams even in this very difficult economy. Listen carefully: "If you really want to work... you can. Nothing and no one will stop you, but YOU."
SETTING:
I have a beautiful four-bedroom home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I know, God's Country right? However a four bedroom home is slightly too big for one small guy like me. So I am turning my home into my workshop. I am seeking four people (two women and two men of any age over eighteen) who have lost their way and in a few short weeks, I will send them back into their community, employed, with an apartment and savings in the bank. But more important than that, they will have in them the desire to succeed at anything that they chose to do. They will live new, whole and improved lives They will not only be capable of success but they will exude success. I will teach them everything that I know, and I don't accept "can't" as an excuse. This is not a course for slackers. But it is a course for people who want to change their lives and achieve!
Life at The Fred Brito Project will be tough. It is more powerful than any boot camp ever created. This is where people who desire will get, and nothing is for free. If I give things for free, it is not earned. For me, things that are not earned and sacrificed for, are never valued because you never earned them through hard work. Only through hard work, will these people be able to over come barriers and obstacles that stand in our way each and every day. Walls are not there to keep us out of things. Walls are there to encourage us to work hard to get inside. These four people will have food and clothes and a place to live and I promise one thing: "If you listen to me, and work hard, I will show you how easy it is to Win each and every time in anything they chose to do in life. No One stops you, but you!
It all starts with "The Class" Six-weeks of intense training:

"IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY"
A Documentary about Poverty in America
-A Fred Brito Film-
Part Two: For me this part is what makes this documentary so powerful. While filming people living is poverty and despair, it is also my duty and obligation to do all that I can to not only tell the story, but to lift those in our story out of poverty and provide for them the opportunity to lead normal lives. Therefore, Part Two will depict the story of those people we have taken from poverty and helped them to lead normal lives. We will tract their story as they rebuild their lives while never forgetting where they have been and the responsibility to look back and help someone else to achieve as well.
For me, I know first hand what living in poverty is like. I lived it for a short period of time, living on the corner of 7th and Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. For me, I could not believe how many live homeless in Los Angeles.
Just today, the count is over one million in some form of homelessness in Los Angeles. I can't imagine how many more that live in poverty in other metropolitan cities across America. Many more will lose everything and end up homeless as our current economy dips even lower into recession. "It Does Not Have To Be This Way" is a film that tugs at the hearts strings of all Americans, and demands of each of us to Reach Out, and do what we can to make a vital difference in the lives of others less fortunate. This is my life's work, and no matter what I have done in the past, no matter what mistakes I have made over the years, I know that through my work on this film will hopefully Change a World from sitting in judgment of others, and doing what we can together to lift others up. This is a powerful film that demands of us all to Stop the Judgments of others based on their economic abilities. For too many years the disenfranchised have been judged unfairly. We cast them about as unworthy, filthy, uneducated, criminal, psychotic and to some, not even human. However, in the end, If I were to quote a famous line from yet another powerful motion picture, "The Elephant Man" it would be this:
Remember if you will, when the Elephant Man was chased through the train station by a lot of people wanting to beat up the Elephant Man because of the way he looked. They finally cornered him in a rest room and as they were about to beat him to, he raised his hands and yelled... "Stop... I... am... Human."
I will never forget this powerful message. It is for all of us who have been judged as outcasts and elephant people that I make this film. Often we see dogs and cats walking aimlessly and homeless on our neighborhood streets. But most importantly is what do we as a society do? We pick up these stray animals and we take them home, we bath them, and feed that and find a nice place for them to sleep. Yet, many of us will never do the same to a human being.
"We as a people have a lot of soul searching to do, and my hope that through this film, the judgments of others must stop. Somewhere, somehow we must all find what brings us all together as a people. For me, it is called Love."

FRED BRITO HEADS TO
DETROIT MICHIGAN
TO AID THE DISENFRANCHISED
AS RECESSION LOOMS IN THE U.S.
For: The Fred Brito Company, LLC. 3802 Grand Teton Way, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88011. Contact: Fred Brito, (575) 993-3030 – Email: fredbrito@fredbritollc.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: GROUND-BREAKING, NO-COST, MOTIVATIONAL SEMINAR FOR MICHIGAN RESIDENTS! LED BY DYNAMIC SPEAKER, FRED BRITO: SPONSORED BY RON CULVER OF THE MICHIGAN MOTIVATIONAL TASK FORCE. FREE BUS FOR ATTENDEES!
Detroit, MI., August 12, 2008 - Fred Brito, one of the nation’s world-class motivational speakers, will team up with Ron Culver of the Michigan Motivational Task Force to provide a powerful, no-cost seminar in Detroit, Michigan. This is an exciting, ground-breaking motivational seminar, giving voice to the plight of jobless citizens, single mothers, homeless, ex-offenders and other disenfranchised Americans who are seeking to rebuild their lives after falling through the cracks of society. It is geared toward empowering people who need help rebuilding their lives after years of struggling to find steady employment and security; and it will be delivered by one of the foremost voices on the speaking circuit, Fred Brito. Attending one of his engagements is like a vacation for the mind & soul; it’s exhilarating, rejuvenating & a well-spring of useful information.
Fred’s aim, as well as that of the Michigan Motivational Task Force, is to not only inspire, but to actively place the people of Michigan in secure positions of employment. It is estimated that over 100,000 citizens in the Motor City alone will suffer significant job cutbacks and the loss of financial opportunity in coming months.
The seminar is just the beginning; following the event, the Michigan Motivational Task Force will continue to work with each individual until they secure a well-paying job & have the necessary tools to become successful in today’s declining job market. “The goal”, says Brito, “is to not only find solid work for these good people, but to teach them to become self-sufficient success stories in difficult times.”
Fred Brito, a rehabilitated ex-offender himself, has been featured on Dateline, Dr. Phil, and is slated to appear soon on Oprah and 60 Minutes. He speaks from the heart when he teaches about lifting oneself from a position of despair and turning your life around. Whereas at his lowest point he was homeless and living on the streets of Los Angeles; he is now a well-tuned, empowered voice on the seminar circuit. As part of his success story as well as his self-designed rehabilitation, Brito delivers dynamic lectures on how to break down self- & society-imposed barriers and get past the “slammed door”. He is eager to share his personal story and technique for building self-confidence, success, and happiness. Says Brito, “This is my mission and my new life’s passion. Ignoring my past would be to deny the incredible distance I’ve come. I want to pass along to others the precious gift of a second chance.”
Brito is the President of The Fred Brito Company, LLC in Las Cruces, New Mexico. He has numerous books in development and travels extensively lecturing about his story and how to break down barriers. He is due to host a Reality TV Show in 2009, and there is a motion picture in development about his life story.
This two-day seminar will be held in Mid-September, 2008, in Detroit, Michigan and will be held again in various hard-hit cities throughout the U.S. Each participant will receive free bus transportation to and from the event from anywhere within the state of Michigan.
