The people protesting * in Atlanta are true American Heroes!
Remember the CBC tried to stop * & not ONE senator had the guts to stand with them!
2001 Week of Jan 9
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus tried unsuccessfully to block the acceptance of Florida's electoral votes during a joint session of Congress. Federal law requires at least one senator and one member of the House to sign a formal objection questioning a state's electoral votes; no senator was willing to sign. Black congressmen repeatedly interrupted the proceedings and were repeatedly gaveled down by Vice President Al Gore, who presided cheerfully over his own electoral demise.
