Father, you have forsaken your Children and left them to Die in the Wilderness. Forsaken Children rebel until Father shows Unconditional Commitment and Caring. Another open letter to the Minnesota GOP, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Senator Norm Coleman, Governor Tim Pawlenty and President George Bush
President Bush and McCain - Please look at the MN GOP.
The Minnesota GOP has no “Skin in the Game” – probably because it doesn’t look like them. They have neglected certain campaigns of local candidates that are flying under the Republican Party Flag. I can speak for all of them but choose to speak for the candidate that my agency has been hired to work for, Barb Davis White for Congress 2008 Campaign. For whatever reason, race, being a Woman or lack of experience by this organization, the MN GOP, Senator Norm Coleman and the Republican power brokers of in Minnesota have left their children to die in the 2008 campaign season. Barb Davis White can beat Keith Ellison with the help of the people and the organization of the Republican Party. How would the McCain/Palin folks feel about this action in Minnesota – trust me, they will get this story…
Barb Davis White is running for Congress in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District against Rep. Keith Ellison without the assistance of the Party she’s aligned with. Since initial contact in the form of a meeting with Darren Bearson, Executive Director of the Minnesota GOP; Brian Humphreys, Political Director by her Press Secretary in August there has been no call backs; no invites to rallies; no ads placed in local radio, newspapers and television in support of Ms. Davis White’s race for Congress. No contact with Chairman Ron Carey has been the flavor of the race. Each time the MN GOP was contacted by the campaign, everyone was “out to lunch in the morning, afternoon and dinner time” no calls backs to the campaign office. Numerous messages have been left with not 1 call back. Also a meeting was requested with Chairman Carey by Barb’s campaign – no call backs our meeting set up (?).
If this is the way the Minnesota GOP handles one of the most critical races in Minnesota for one of their own, we need a dramatic, enema-like house cleaning of the players at 525 Park Street in St. Paul – first thing Monday morning! Last month (September), the Barb Davis White for Congress website received over 192,000 “multi-page” views with tracking this month (the last full month before the November 4, 2008 election), pacing ahead of last month’s numbers. I’m very sure they are tuning in false numbers to the National Republican Party – they have not done 1 thing for the campaign of Ms. Davis White.
The Campaign for Barb Davis White for Congress needs your support in reaching their financial goal to slow the campaign of Rep. Keith Ellison. Since the MN GOP (short for “GO ON PLAYING”) is not willing to return a phone call, invite and plan a community rally for Barb to attend; assist the campaign with financial and technical help, it’s up to the people who read this to participate and join in by first of all donating to the Barb Davis White for Congress Campaign (www.barbdaviswhiteforcongress.com) and then calling 651-222-0022 and ask Chairman Carey “What the hell is up with the Minnesota GOP?” Just an observation…”What happen to the Dr. Ron Paul/Campaign for Liberty people in Minnesota?” (We will talk about that next time.)
The Democrats and Keith are very well organized, doing rallies, forums and “Get out the Vote” campaigns. Al Franken is a “mainstay” in north Minneapolis showing up at local Black restaurants and community events. Y-T-D there has been no sighting of Senator Norm Coleman in North Minneapolis or at community events (the MN GOP does not feel that Minority-Ethnics are not important to the Republican Party which is very sad). A small effort by Senator Coleman and the Minnesota GOP could make the difference in the Barb Davis White for Congress 2008 Campaign.
Since the Minnesota GOP does not want to help…”It’s WAR”
Obama, ACORN – Follow the Money!
Obama Sued Citibank Under CRA to Force it to Make Bad Loans
Do you remember how we told you that the Democrats and groups associated with them leaned on banks and even sued to get them to make bad loans under the Community Reinvestment Act which was a factor in causing the economic crisis (see HERE and HERE) … well look at what some fellow bloggers have dug up while researching Obama’s legal career. Looks like a typical ACORN lawsuit to get banks to hand out bad loans.
In these lawsuits, ACORN makes a bogus claim of Redlining (denying poor people loans because of their ethnic heritage). They protest and get the local media to raise a big stink. This stink means that the bank faces thousands of people closing their accounts and get local politicians to lobby to stop the bank from doing some future business, expansions and mergers. If the bank goes to court, they will win, but the damage is already done because who is going to launch a big campaign to get the bank’s reputation back?
It is important to understand the nature of these lawsuits and what their purpose is. ACORN filed tons of these lawsuits and ALL of them allege racism.

Congressional Candidate Barb Davis White, FairTax, Keith Ellison and more…
Business as Usual?
Ask yourself, “Do I really want change?” Barb Davis White is a Conservative candidate running for congress against Keith Ellison. Most African Americans in Minneapolis say, “We’re voting for Keith”, with no rhyme or reason. We stand in opposition against a giant that has lost his shadow. Keith Ellison may have gripped the voters of Minnesota during the last election, but surveys show that the people of Minnesota are asking for a different choice in Congress. Barb Davis White stands, not in opposition of the Democratic Party, but with the people of the 5th Congressional District. Her beliefs are simple and clear. I understand that you are thoroughly entrenched in Ellison, but the predominate word during this election season is ‘change’
Let me explain something to you…Keith is not your friend. In July 2008 Congressman Keith Ellison was a co-sponsor of HR 3298 which asks for Mental Health screening for 3 year olds (the PRE-K Act)…Do you see something wrong with this as a parent? How can a Black man want the government to regulate what a 3 year old does? There’s something very wrong with this. Could this be the start of the University of Minnesota’s North Side Partnership and the Urban Research and Outreach Center’s move into North Minneapolis with the collaboration of the Ellison’s camp to assist the education giant in the further disassembly and research of poor communities?
Secondly, Keith does not agree with FairTax (www.fairtax.org). If you don’t know what FairTax is, just look at your pay check. Imagine if you had no taxes taken out of your check?
The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment.
The FairTax Act (HR 25, S 1025) is nonpartisan legislation. It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities.
The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.
In a letter to IBNN a concerned citizen wrote: Keith Ellison’s office lied to me, saying the congressman would vote against the measure. I later received a written response from Rep. Ellison, saying he would not vote for the bailout unless four stipulations were met:
- Serious and meaningful Congressional oversight over the Treasury Department as a rescue plan is implemented
- Hold business leaders accountable through restricting executive compensation and investigating possible wrongdoing
- If taxpayers are being asked to bear the risk of these “toxic” investments, then taxpayers should reap some of the potential future financial benefits yielded by this government intervention
- Any financial package must include assistance to families facing home mortgage foreclosures
Keith Ellison voted for the bailout, so I assume those four stipulations were met. Can anyone confirm or deny whether these stipulations were included in the Pelosi Compromise?
See the roll-call vote for yourself here: http://www.freeople.com/blog/house-roll-call-bailout-package-vote-released/1788
We just touched on a couple of items that show Congressman Ellison should re-think what he’s doing – on his own time.

We face many challenges as a nation. From the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to illegal immigration, to energy independence, to out of control federal spending, now more than ever we need leaders in Congress who represent our South Florida values.
Barb Davis White – Love is making a commitment and having the willingness to accept the sacrifices and inconveniences necessary to keep that commitment. This is true whether we are talking about another person, nation or society. Our forbearers came embracing a new spirit of responsibility. They built a representative form of government in which we are duty bound to participate. We now have a responsibility to follow their lead and build a more perfect union based on their example – not a celebration of diversity, but rather the assimilation of diverse ideas, and with it the people they represent.
Hello, I am Eddie Adams, Jr., a candidate for the 11th Congressional District of Florida seat in the U.S. Congress. Whether you are a lifelong Republican; a new member of our party; a Democrat, consider yourself an Independent or you are simply curious- what matters most is that, this is about you and you are always welcome here!
Dr. Deborah Honeycutt. I am running for U.S. Congress in 2008. I believe that our United States government is facing a moral crisis. As a country we are in danger of forsaking the moral cornerstone upon which our nation was founded. No longer do many of our leaders make decisions based on constitutional imperatives, time-honored values, or Christian principles.
Antoine Members. I am a lifelong resident of Chicago, born and raised on the Westside and now residing on the Southside. A family man, I am married to my beautiful wife, Tònia, and have two wonderful children, Destiny and Journey. Academically, I am a graduate of CVS High School and have attended East-West University.

RNC asked about African American Congressional Candidates that are scheduled to speak at the RNC
The following email was sent to the RNC today…
It concerns me as Barb Davis White’s Press Secretary and also as a General Manager for a News & Information Corporate Media Outlet that you have not scheduled, nor will confirm that any African American Congressional Candidates have been asked to speak at the RNC, according to the young lady that answers the phone at your office and you. After speaking with you (Ms. Webb), the answer that the information is “confidential” does not work. We already know that Barb Davis White, 5th CD Minnesota and Antoine Members 1st CD Chicago have not been contacted…who does that leave?
On Friday, August 15, 2008 I was approached by a gentleman who told me to “cool down”, don’t go after Ron Carey’s office or the RNC and we will get together later and work things out after the RNC. He went on to threaten Barb’s campaign by saying, “If you don’t, Barb is finished!” The RNC has given money to some local “point people” in the Twin Cities to have party events neglecting the most valued and important thing to attract voter’s of color to the Republican Party…”community engagement and outreach”. No one from Minnesota’s non-profit agencies have been contacted by the GOP/RNC to teach the community about the Constitution of the United States or even to register voters. Remember…Liberty does not have a color, it has soul!
This “slave mentality thinking” i.e.; “Be good you Black Republican’s while our White friends are in town” does not fly with me or the tools I have in place to distribute this message “top-of-mind” to the general public and national news affiliates.
Keith Ellison is not worried and rest assured that the Minnesota GOP will put no effort into an African American Republican candidate for Congress in Minnesota with the current leadership of the GOP.
Again, and for the last time – I will ask, what African American Congressional Candidates have been scheduled to speak at the RNC? What do we really have to loose, besides Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District?
Good day!
