Russell Simmons Endorses Republican From Maryland


Land of free!

Home of the brave!

In America we are all blessed with the abiility to use our FREE CHOICE especially when it comes to the voting process.

That's why I congratulate Mr. Russell Simmons and Ms. Cathy Hughes for finding a candidate in Maryland (a state that Russell Simmons doesn't live in) that they can really rally behind.

Now my point of view!

This latest development in the race for Maryland senator does not change my vote ONE BIT. Although I support and congraulate Mr. Michael Steele on his political accomplishments I still can't vote for the Republican party.

I cannot forget that the current administration (Republican) has lied to the American people about the reasons for war.

I cannot forget that the current administration (Republican) treated fellow Americans like "refugees" during Hurricane Katrina.

I cannot forget that the current administration (Republican) continues to take away our PRIVACY rights.

I cannot forget that the current administation (Republican) defy federal courts when it doesn't go along with their agenda.

If Russell Simmons feel he can support Michael Steele, I support him. My question is how can Maryland resident let Russell Simmons influence them in a political race that he (Russell) can't even vote in. Last I checked, he's not a Maryland resident. Which leads me to assume that this endorsement promotion is only set-up to get the "black" vote.

Sorry Mr. Steele, it didn't work for me.

Great Job Spike Lee and HBO

WARNING: It may make you MAD at all the local and federal politicians.

KATRINA: ONE YEAR LATER


On August 29th, the world will take a moment to remember the tragic events of Hurricane Katrina. Our President will hold a press conference touting everything that his administration has done for the area. He also plans on spending the night in New Orleans to show the world that he is ON THE FRONTLINES. Unfornately, things in New Orleans are no better than they were one year ago. There STILL are thousands living in mobile homes (with unsecured locks - see link below). There are STILL thousands of New Orleans residents living in other states because they don't have a home or job to come back to. Crime is running rampant in the area. And finally, the local and federal politicians are NOT DOING THEIR PART.

It's extremely sad when I turn on the news to find out that America has pledged billions of dollars to other countries or will send troops to other countries but our administration won't ORDER the politicians to REBUILD this city.

August 29th will only serve one purpose for me. That purpose is to remind me that I must VOTE during the upcoming elections because the treatment New Orleans residents are receiving is a classic example of how this administration values foreign policies more than it values the issues are home.

For those of you that are still supporting this administration, I must remind you that the events of New Orleans could have easily been in your hometown. How would you like to feel like a "refugee?"
