7. Our Black vote
was brought out by Gwen Moore, the first black Congresswoman from Wisconsin. I believe she helped bring in black volunteers and black voters.

Plus the people I work with know the score. They were fully behind John Kerry, and still are now. I went to talk to one, Linda, just before the election to make sure she was voting and she said "You don't have to worry. I always vote. Don't worry. I know who to vote for."

She has told me of attending voter meetings in her neighborhood, and about telling others not to complain if they didn't participate in the system.
