Text4Help - The Ashanti Alert Act has passed the U.S. Senate, Virginia Senator Mark Warner announced on Twitter Thursday.

The Ashanti Alert Act has passed the U.S. Senate

PASSED: The #AshantiAlert Act just passed the United States Senate. Let’s get this important legislation to the President’s desk so the Ashanti Alert System for missing adults can begin saving lives around the country.

— Mark Warner (@MarkWarner) December 6, 2018

The bill needs to return to the U.S. House of Representatives before the legislation heads to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law.

Kimberly Wimbish, a spokesperson for Ashanti Billie’s family, announced in early November that U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) would officially introduce the act to the Senate.

In September, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to make the Ashanti Alert a federal law. The vote marked one year since then-U.S. Rep. Scott Taylor (R-Virginia Beach) got involved in the Ashanti Billie case and announced his plans to push for a vote to take the alert national.

The Ashanti Alert was signed into Virginia law in June in honor of Ashanti Billie, a 19-year-old who was abducted from her job at JEB Little Creek in 2017.

At the time, Billie was too old to be considered for an AMBER Alert, which is designed for abducted children, and too young for a Silver Alert, which is for senior adults.

Billie was found dead near a church in Charlotte, North Carolina, around two weeks after her disappearance.

After the House’s vote in September, Ashanti’s family says the Ashanti Alert will not only be a way to remember their daughter, but also a way to keep her greatest passion in life alive: helping others.

“It will be like a hug from her. Every alert will be a hug: ‘Hey Mom, I’m here. I’m helping people, Daddy, I’m here; I’m helping someone else.’ It was her passion,” said Brandy Billie, Ashanti’s mother.

Charles Omar Sutton of The Famed Sutton Family Looks to Continue The Legacy of Percy Sutton

Atlantic City, New Jersey – Nov. 20, 2018 – Advanced Consulting, Inc. is looking to put a Hotel / Resort on its well-known Boardwalk, becoming the first African-American owned hotel.

Advanced Consulting spokesperson Charles Omar Sutton of the famed Sutton family sees an opportunity to make history and progress in Atlantic City. The firm will look to establish the greatest atmosphere in America with a focus on a Hotel / Resort that offers unique restaurants & entertainment experiences that won’t be like anything currently offered on the Boardwalk. The hotel will be a non-gambling resort with an international appeal not seen in some time in Atlantic City.

Sutton said It’s a great investment in Atlantic City and it’s the type of investments my family has made throughout America. “It marks a new frontier for the area.”

Using our collective resources and giving it some business focus will ensure that Atlantic City becomes a part of the international marketplace. Sutton said a brighter future could happen if the minority market of Atlantic City attains the multiple elements of business & social development it needs to restore its foundation.

Through its continued initiative, the company came up with the 1870 brand – the year the Boardwalk was founded. Advanced Consulting Inc. has launched www.hotels1870.com, which is growing each day with highlights on Atlantic City. The 1870 brand will help companies of all sectors in the area become known throughout the world.

(Charles Omar Sutton) the Sutton family is well-known for their purchases and restoration projects including the purchase of the Apollo Theatre, which helped to renovate the Harlem community, and the creation of WBLS & WLIB radio stations to form Inner City Broadcasting, which owned more than 25 radio stations around the nation. The Late Honorable Percy Sutton Was Regarded by President Barack Obama As A True American Icon. A legacy of building the greatest potential in all people has arrived in Atlantic City.
