Bush Stole the Election
Quote
''Here we are today victimized by a stolen election that's turned into a mandate for war.
Bush is using a war to divert our attention from the economy and drive us by fear, and not lead us by hope.''

Drug War Tool to Prevent Black Vote
Quote
"It is time to go back to the South. It is time to enlist the New South against the remnants of the old. It is time to register people to vote and to challenge the laws that would strip citizens of the right to vote for committing crimes even after they have repaid their debt to society.
That mean-spiritedness offends the spirit of this country, founded by people rounded up from debtors' prisons. It also offends in the midst of the Bible Belt the central teaching of the Bible: the forgiveness of sins, and the possibility of resurrection."
