110. My comments to Terry McAullife
We need to make race an issue. There have only been two black Senators (both Dems) and only one black GOP Congressman. The GOP has a terrible record on race and they are neglecting the black vote because so few blacks actually vote. We need to change that. Income differential between whites and blacks have widened under GOP control of our country. The changes to Medicare and Social Security, along with a potential military draft and a federal sales tax, will hurt low income and minority families much more than it will hurt middle class whites. The Dems are the party of Civil Rights and anti-discrimination laws. But we seem to have abandoned the minority population of our country. We need to refocus our efforts on getting minorities more involved by showing them what they have to lose under a GOP controlled governments.
