if any of us are to survive the near future. at this point, Kerry winning is as much your only hope as it is everyone's.

you may have no rational reason to trust any white politician (or, perhaps, person), but i ask you to please venture this leap of faith. there's a lot of reactionary regression trashing this country - ugly! horrifying to witness! - but there are also tens of millions who are getting the reality, and fighting with all our lives for repair and justice.

"A million African-Americans disenfranchised in the last election," he said at the N.A.A.C.P. convention in Philadelphia on Thursday. "Well, we're not just going to sit there and wait for it to happen. On Election Day in your cities, my campaign will provide teams of election observers and lawyers to monitor elections, and we will enforce the law."


peace!
