62. As an African American I applaud your stand

"The most faithful and reliable Democratic voter bloc got the shaft AGAIN, and if you think we need to wait, hide, back off or otherwise waste what could be a golden opportunity for a national dialogue, then I don't want to know you, because you make me ashamed."

In the lead up to the election everyone was pinning the hope for victory on the backs of the African American voters. Well when they ALLOWED us to vote, we delivered! We lived up to our part of the bargain.

Now,people just want to say,"let's move on, no problem here, only thousands of Black voters had to be turned away, no voting machines,one strike and you are in prison for life so you can't vote while Enron and Halliburton get off free and Novak is still making millions and our soldiers are dying because of GWBCrooks."

Slavery should have been over in 1865 but it is alive and well in 2005 if Congress turns its backs on African Americans on January 6th.

Fool us once in 2000 - maybe, but Black America will not be fooled again!

Message to Congress: Stand up for justice or sit down with the devil.

No GUTS, No GLORY!
