US Voting Rights (Only for whites in OHIO)
Sould be an obligation to get back on track here.

Too much "High School fighting" only feeds the Republican flamethrowers.

2. We're all Black.
and it does suck. But we are all in this together. We were part of that vision and we WILL see it through.

If African Americans lose, We All Lose. That's the simple Truth.

3. this is the essence
of what i wrote to Senator Wyden (of Oregon). How dare liberal dems sit back and not get behind Rep. Conyers. The issue of civil rights is a bedrock of our party, disagree on some other issues...okay, but the civil rights struggle of the 1960's is bedrock of our party!!!
Okay, so we are in the process of proving fraud. But voter intimidation and suppression was prevalent Nov. 2nd 2004. They didn't even try to hide their abuses of the Constitution.
How disgraceful for ANY Dem to allow the Black Democratic Caucus to stand alone!! This is not how we effected change in the 1960's, and all of those advancements are in jeopardy if congress is complacent.
We MUST remind Congress of our Democratic roots, and ask....WHAT WOULD MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DO????
