Sharpton to Bush: Black vote 'is not for sale'
BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- In a fiery speech aimed at President Bush's recent appeal to African-American voters, the Rev. Al Sharpton on Wednesday told the president that blacks earned the right to vote under Democrats and it's "not for sale."

3. "Our vote was soaked in the blood of martyrs,...
"... soaked in the blood of good men, soaked in the blood of four little girls in Birmingham. This vote is sacred to us.

This vote can't be bargained away. This vote can't be given away. In all due respect, Mr. President, read my lips: Our vote is not for sale."
