Poll
Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


3. Education Reform

4. African Relief

5. Prison Reform

6. Health Care

These six points are the basis of what I have dubbed The Black Contract With America on Moral Values. I’m seeking one million signatures before the next presidential election. The blacks and whites say that we can make a difference by bringing practical solutions to these challenging areas. The next few months my articles will zero in on each of these areas in depth. In addition, it will be important for you to know I’ve done two other things:

1. We’ve founded The High Impact Leadership Coalition which is attempting to facilitate minority leaders and church members stand for many national, conservative issues.

2. We’ve just begun a national radio program called The Truth in Black and White heard on approximately 500 radio stations.

Standing At The Crossroads
Luckily all black people aren't this hateful and can't be bought off for attention and money. You would have been the "House Negro" instead of the "Negro In The House". Shame on you for trying, like others, to make a name off people who actually go in the community and do some work, whether you agree with them or not. Instead being an original, you make money by using the lazy and coward,s way to get attention from people you know will use you to bring animosity and division to a community that's suffered enough.

THE BLACK VOTE
I AGREE 100%. GOD SHOOK MY VOTING WORLD WHEN IT WAS TIME TO VOTE FOR CLINTON THE 2ND TIME AROUND. HE ASKED ME WHY ARE YOU VOTING FOR CLINTON? I COULDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION. AGAIN GOD SAID IS IT BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD YOU TO VOTE "DEMOCRATIC!" AGAIN, GOD ASKED DO YOU HAVE A MIND OF YOUR OWN?" HAVE YOU RESEARCHED CLINTON AND THE OTHER CANDIDATES? MY ANSWER WAS NO! GOD SAID WHY NOT?? THAT WAS THE DAWNING OF ME INVESTIGATING EVERY CANDIDATE I VOTE FOR! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEIR POSITION IS ON ISSUES LIKE MARRIAGE, ABORTION, CHILDREN, SCHOOLS ECT...IF THEIR OPINIONS DON'T LINE UP WITH WITH THE BIBLE. THEY DON'T GET MY VOTE! ITS TIME FOR MORAL CLEAN UP, TODAY IS THE TIME!!!!
