It's Crunch Time
 

Good Afternoon Sorors and Sisterfriends,

As we ALL KNOW Election Day 2000 is tomorrow (and if you didn't know, now you do). I trust all reading are prepared to vote tomorrow. If you are not going to be in your home voting area during voting hours (7am to 7pm local time), I trust you have completed and mailed your absentee ballot. I'd also like to take this time to thank all who volunteered time to work voter registration drives. Keep up the good work and remember the work does not end here. Voter education and registration is a year-round priority for our community, not just an every 4 year thing.

I'd like to pass along an item that was in my inbox. God Bless you all and GO VOTE TOMORROW! When you refuse your right to vote, you lose your right to complain.

Ten reasons to Vote on November 7, 2000

1. The winners of this election will determine the quality of public education in the 21st Century.
They will decide how much money should be spent on reducing class size;
They will decide if federal monies should be used to help secure bonds for new school construction and renovations of older facilities;
They will decide if it is worthwhile to invest in teacher training and hiring new teachers;
They will decide how much money should be spent on wiring our schools for the 21st Century;
They will decide if schools should rely on a single examination to determine important decisions (such as graduating from high school or promoting students to the next grade), despite the fact that leading education experts nationwide recommend multiple measures of student performance for such decisions.
They will decide if federal money should be spent on strengthening our public schools or if it should be used to support private academies for a few, select students through school vouchers.

2. The winners of this election will determine the course of the American Judiciary for much of this century.
The next President is likely to nominate, and the US Senate will confirm or reject, as many as three US Supreme Court Justices;
The next President will nominate, and the US Senate will confirm, reject, or ignore people to fill as many as 100 vacancies on federal benches across the nation.
These justices may determine the fate of issues as diverse and important as Affirmative Action, school desegregation, workplace discrimination, basic civil rights, police brutality, voting rights, religious freedom, sexual harassment, prayer in school, death penalty appeals, immigration, welfare reform, the 2000 Census and school vouchers.

3. The winners of this election will determine whether "Driving While Black" statistics are gathered at national, state and local levels, or if racial profiling continues to be an all-too-real, yet undocumented, problem for drivers of color.

4. The winners of this election will decide if law enforcement misconduct and police brutality should continue to be tolerated and allowed to continue to exist, or if a comprehensive approach should be implemented to rebuild the trust and integrity of those charged with protecting and serving our neighborhoods.

5. The winners of this election will determine if the death penalty should continue to be handed down in a racially discriminatory manner or if a moratorium on executions should be put into place at least until issues such as the stark racial disparity, prosecutorial misconduct, inadequate representation and irrefutable guilt or innocence are decided.

6. The winners of this election will determine if the dramatic racial, ethnic and gender disparities that exist in our health care system today should continue.
They will decide if subscribers to Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) deserve a serious "Patients' Bill of Rights" to ensure that consumers can hold health insurance companies responsible for medical decisions they may make which result in harm or death to the patient, can seek the services of a specialist when no specialist is available through the plan, and women can use their ob/gyns as their primary care doctors.
They will decide if racial and ethnic minority Americans should continue to suffer disproportionately from many severe health problems and have higher mortality rates than whites for many treatable health conditions.

7. The winners of the next election will decide if it should be easier for the federal government to get involved in investigating, prosecuting and preventing hate crimes across our country.

8. The winners of the next election will decide if we as a nation should have comprehensive, sane and sensible gun control laws that make it harder for criminals and children to get guns and easier for law enforcement agencies to trace guns that are used in a crime, accidents and suicides.

9. The winners of the next election will decide if the federal government will work to expand and ensure economic opportunities to all Americans including those historically locked out.
They will decide if predatory lending should be allowed to continue to ruin lives and communities, or if these unscrupulous banks and individuals should be put out of business;
They will decide of the Community Reinvestment Act should remain strong and continue to benefit untold millions of American people, neighborhoods and communities;
They will decide if the "New Markets" initiatives, including Empowerment Zones, should be allowed to continue to bring economic revivals and prosperity to areas of our nation that have been left out of the strong economic times enjoyed by so many Americans;

10. The winners will be in a place to address or ignore the vast and discriminatory racial disparities that continue to plague our American justice system.
They will or will not establish and support programs to address the disparate treatment of ethnic minority youth by almost every state and municipality in the nation;
They will or will not support policies to allow voters who are disenfranchised because of a past felony conviction to regain their basic right to vote once they have paid their debt to society;
They will or will not address the sentencing disparities that are leading to more and more people of color being put behind bars.

The winners of the November 7, 2000 election will determine the future of our nation.

You need to help determine who those winners will be.

Thanks Soror Kelli!

AH, one of those timeless messages!

Presidential Election '04 is just around the corner. The stage is being set now. Get out & VOTE on Tuesday.

Thanks!
 

Thanks for the reminder for everyone!! It is soo important to vote!! Our ancestors died for us to have these rights, and we shouldn't take them lightly!

however, i'm going to the polls to vote mostly for a bond referendum here in VA. Both the repub and dem candidate aren't too great, so it's the lesser of 2 evils....again!

Gotta do what ya gotta do though!!

Happy voting!:D

How was Election Day for your state?
Who won? Who loss?

Only thing I know for sure right now is that the CMS School Bond Referendum PASSED. :D Elizabeth Dole won. :( :mad:

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (D) lost the race for Governor....Bob Erhlich (R) won. He's the first Republican Governor elected in the last 36 years in Maryland. I don't know what this means for Maryland, but time will tell.

New York
 

Here in the state of NY H. Carl McCall lost his race for governor meaning that we mush deal with a Republican for the next four years. This is Pataki's third four year term. :mad: :(

Yeah Libby Dole won and I'm still a little warm about that. :mad: She's from my hometown of Salisbury so my mother told me that there was a gang of folk there waiting for her to make an appearance last night.

The new MI governor...
 

Jennifer Granholm, a democrat, is Michigan’s first female governor and the first democrat in 12 years. She came to my church over the summer and seemed real cool with her issues and her concern for Detroit, so I’m glad she won.:)

I'm in Indiana right now, but I made sure I did the absentee thing!

Well...
 

Minnesota has gone from crazy Jesse Ventura to a conservative Republican. And a moderate Democrat turned conservative Republican will now hold the seat of the late, great, very liberal Paul Wellstone. But until he takes the seat in Jan., a buddy of Ventura's will fulfill the vacancy and sit in on the next lame-duck session. Things will be very interesting.

Time for change??
 

Whats really goin on? The Republicans are victorious?! Maybe their party isn't that bad after all....

Here in VA, the incumbent (R) won against the dude from Dukes of Hazard (D) Ben "Cooter" Jones. Yes...that was the best they could do here.

I personally think that the Democrats need to re-group and get some real leadership instead of Tom Daschle and Bill Clinton. :eek:

results of the two "big" races in GA:

Sonny Perdue (R) defeated Roy Barnes (D) in the Govenor's race.
Saxby Chambliss (R) now holds the Senate seat Max Cleland (D) had.

It's been reported that on Sonny's list of things to is a referrendum to return the GA state flag to was it was (see top of: http://tqjunior.thinkquest.org/5201/georgia.htm).

well well well it's allll over so they say....:rolleyes:
However, I think one of the reasons why the Republicans had an overwhelming victory is because of 9/11. I think it is down right sad how Bush played on the empathy of people around the U.S.. He didn't actually emphasize it himself BUT people did use the phrase "help the president fight the war on terror" in their campaign ads. To me, this basically plays on the 9/11 fiasco. Hardly any republican candidate targeted the issues of the failing economy or why did the focus shifted from Osama to Sadam in this "war on terror". Not only that, health care, reparations, and other issues related to minorities, the elderly, or the poor was poorly addressed, Another thing I think worked in their favor was most of the candidates were young(er) and beat their incumbents due to their opponents lack of savy.
Oh well, Granholm(Dem.,from MI) won.....:D

I agree miss priss. I was thinking to myself the other day, the events of Sept. 11th have pretty much guaranteed Bush another term in office. He's coming up on the halfway point of his first term, and I can't really think of anything he's accomplished sofar (besides the "war on terrorism" and that was pretty much because it was thrown in the U.S.'s lap...if someone does know of his achievements, I really would like to know). I myself am a registered democrat, but I do take the time to look over what each candidate stands for--but this year I felt I HAD to do my part to keep congress from turning over to the GOP. I just don't think it's a good idea to have a President, Senate and House all dominated by the same party. Unfortunately, I think a lot of the people who would benefit from the Democratic don't bother to vote. :(

JJSP01, I'm from MD and I could NOT beleive a republican was voted into office. There hasn't been a republican governor in MD in my lifetime! Interestingly, the new lieutenant gov is a black man--this should be an interesting 4 years.

Well I'm from North Carolina and I'm not surprised Elizabeth Dole won. Our state didn't want to let Jesse Helms's old butt go.:mad:

How Do You Feel After The Election???
 

Well the election is over, and now the Republicans have control of both the House and Senate. How does this make you feel?



This upsets me big time. There's no balance of power in Washington right now. Now, the Republican agenda is gonna get pushed through. I mean I know this is the political process in America, so I guess this is what the American people wanted. I think that this whole post 9/11 America we live in had a lot to do with it. But c'mon we have tons of issues domestically that we need to deal with. I have to hand it to the Republicans though, they used this War on Terror to campaign and win. Now they will be able to push their domestic policy in on the backside, which they were really hoping for. I'm feeled with such dissapointed right now. I did my part by voting, that's all I could do I guess. It's just worst for me, cause I live in Florida where Jeb will be serving consecutive terms as our "illustrious" Govenor. Sorry for ranting.

Boo!
 

I'm also a little hot that Barnes did not win another term, however more than a few people were definitely NOT happy with Barnes, especially teachers and state workers from what I'm hearing. It's all good. Perdue still has to deal with Democrats at the Capital (Mark Taylor as Lt. Govenor as well as a Democratic Legislature). But it still sucks. Of course I voted for the guy who helped me get into college! :D

I feel ya Nupe. I worked extra late last night, and when I got home hubby was on the couch watching an old AMC movies. When I tried to turn it to election coverage he said "no, I just can bear to watch it anymore." He was extra sad because after flying in from a trip he broke all kinds of traffic laws to get to the polling place in time and when he got there at 7:06 they told him it was too late. Of course his one vote would not swing things, but still. Georgia elected it's first Republican governor since Reconstruction (when Republican was a good thing) and defeated an incumbent Democratic senator. Even the Georgia Speaker of the house, a good ol' boy who's been in office for 40 something years lost to his Republican challenger. It will definately be interesting. Folks tell me and my husband that we should be Republicans based on our demographics (professional, DINKS, Christian, etc. ) but I just can't sell my folks out for a few extra dollars.

Oh...and one of the first things Governor elect Purdue (his first name is Sonny :rolleyes: ) wants to do is have a referendum (sp?) on the GA flag that soon to be former governor Barnes changed from the confederate battle flag to a more inclusive flag last year. He wants to let the "people" :rolleyes: decide.

Call me cynical, but if we waited to let the "people" decided my family would probably still be living on Masta Strickland's place in Newnan, GA.

I am sad, but that much more ready to go to law school so I can start affecting change. The countdown to next fall continues.

The republicans controlling the house, sentte, white house and supreme court sucks, but maybe in two years OUR folk will be inspired to VOTE b/c of this and we will TAKE back the White House (which is rightfully ours anyway).

Black turnout examined after Democrat losses in South
 

Black turnout examined after Democrat losses in South
11/06/2002 11:02 PM EDT

(AP) - Low black voter turnout helped Republicans take surprisingly easy victories in key Southern states, say political observers, who suggest Democratic overtures to blacks may have been too little, too late.

Black voter drives by the Rev. Jesse Jackson and former President Clinton on the final weekend before Florida's gubernatorial election failed to keep Gov. Jeb Bush from winning another term.

In Georgia, where the county with the most blacks saw 13,000 fewer voters than four years earlier, Democratic Gov. Roy Barnes and Sen. Max Cleland both lost to lesser-known Republican challengers.

The GOP also wrested control of the governor's offices in South Carolina and Alabama. And the Republicans held on to four open Southern seats in the Senate.

"How can this happen?" asked University of Georgia political scientist Charles Bullock. "One of two ways: Either, one, blacks didn't turn out. Or, two, blacks were voting Republican. I think blacks not turning out is more likely."

Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who was defeated in this year's Democratic primary in Georgia, said Tuesday's "stunning general election debacle" shows that the Democrats failed to value their traditional black base.

"While the national pundits postulate on the reasons why minority voters didn't turn out, minority voters themselves know the truth," she said. "For generations, the Democratic Party has taken the minority vote for granted."

McKinney said black voters delivered victories for both Barnes and Cleland in their last elections, "but these two stunning victories failed to see sufficient returns for blacks in Georgia."

As she shopped outside a suburban Atlanta grocery store Wednesday, 41-year-old Beverly Lee said she didn't vote because she never believed Democrats were in serious trouble.

"Now I wish I had voted," she said. "I had no idea it would turn out like this."

Because of the lack of exit poll data, it is not yet clear exactly how big a factor the black vote was. But there was anecdotal evidence in several states.

Henry Crespo, president of the Miami-Dade Democratic Black Caucus, said Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill McBride failed to connect with black voters in South Florida, despite the backing of some key local leaders.

"Clearly, what he did was go to a couple of chiefs to get their approval and expect us to come out and vote for him with a promise for a pie when historically we only get crumbs," Crespo said. "The black electorate is smarter than that."

In South Carolina, Democratic Gov. Jim Hodges' campaign estimated it fell several percentage points below the 30 percent black vote it needed for victory. In a quick survey of the five most heavily black counties in South Carolina, the activist group Palmetto Project estimated that Hodges lost 11 percent of the black vote he had in 1998, executive director Steve Skardon said.

Combined with white "aginners" - those who are against whoever happens to be in office at the time - that was enough to cost Hodges the election, Skardon said.

While the Democrats won a Senate seat in Arkansas and the Tennessee governor's mansion, the rest of the South was a Republican romp. The Republicans held on to open Republican Senate seats in Tennessee, Texas and the Carolinas. In North Carolina, Elizabeth Dole won Jesse Helms' seat by a 9-point margin.

A recent poll by the Washington-based Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies found that younger black adults are increasingly more politically independent and less likely to identify themselves as members of the Democratic Party. But without detailed voter data, center pollster David Bositis was not ready to read much into Tuesday's election.

"OK, Georgia, it's true the Democrats lost the governor and Senate, but they won lieutenant governor," he said. "Two black candidates running statewide - attorney general and commissioner of labor - won. The Democrats picked up two seats in the (U.S.) House. That points to things being ambiguous."

Bob Holmes, director of the Southern Center for Studies in Public Policy at Clark Atlanta University, said it was premature to lay the Democratic losses at the feet of the black voter.

"The biggest difference was the continued trend and defection of white Democrats to the Republican Party, and also the growth of Republicans," said Holmes, who is black. "We did our thing."

Even though I am furious that the Republicans have taken over, I am not mad at them. They did what they had to do, and they came out on top. Those who are supportive of the Democratic party, but still chose not to vote, have nobody to blame, but themselves. It angers me, because everyday, I hear people (especially black people) still saying that their vote won't make a difference. I know so many people who did not go vote, but they're the ones who are now complaining that the Republicans are in control. It just really angers me. :mad: :mad:

from www.wsbtv.com:

Perdue Tries to Get Democrats to Switch, Not Fight

Channel 2 has learned that at least four Democrats are being courted by Republican Gov.-Elect Sonny Perdue to switch parties to shift the balance of power and swing partisan politics.

In a stunning GOP takeover of Georgia politics, Perdue unseated Democractic Gov. Roy Barnes. Saxby Chambliss overpowered Senator Max Cleland. Kathy Cox took the office vacated by Linda Schrenko. And Republican Bill Heath unseated the longest running Speaker of the House, Tom Murphy. Murphy became a member of the State House the year Bill Heath was born.

Election 2004
 

Bush has won re-relection: White House


Wednesday, 03 November , 2004, 17:10

Washington: George W Bush today appeared all set for a second term as US President after remaining locked in a bitterly-fought close elections with his Democratic rival John Kerry. But the final verdict hinges on the state of Ohio where the Democrats were planning a legal challenge.

George W Bush Republican 254 57,220,248 51.0
John Kerry Democrat 252 53,582,115 48.0
Ralph Nader Independent 0 376,728 0

The official result may not be out for another 10 days because of a delayed counting procedure in Ohio where Democrats want every vote to be counted.

Both sides are considering sending legal teams to the state, already the scene of lawsuits over provisional ballots.

With Kerry refusing to concede defeat, Bush, who won 28 of the 50 states for 254 electoral votes and was leading in three states, laid claim to the 20 votes of Ohio, which has emerged as this elections Florida, delaying the verdict because of provisional ballots.

Claiming victory in the elections, White House Chief of Staff Andy Card said the President has "statistically insurmountable" number of votes in Ohio and has won the re-election by a "decisive margin."

"We are convinced that President Bush has won re-election with at least 286 electoral college votes, and he also had a margin of a three-and-a-half million popular votes," he said.

http://sify.com/news_info/fullstory.php?id=13603923

I hope BUsh is not relying on that popular vote margin. HE should know pretty damn well that you don't HAVE to win the popular vote to be President.

It will be interesting to see all those people that stood so firm by the popular vote in 2000 for Gore..how they react to Bush's historic win.

FYI..even Clinton never got a majority of a vote..only a plurality..this is history in the making.

Bush got the highest popular vote in history, and you know who got the 2nd highest.....Kerry...how crazy is that.

According to Carlos Watson it has only been four elections since the presidential candidate got a majority vote. (Because of strong third parties.) Before then it was the norm so it isn't that historical.

Its not like he won with 75 percent of the vote. Now that would be historical. And he is the incumbent. So this should be more like a "whew" we survived this challenge.

ETA: I still believe that whoever wins the popular vote should win the presidency and if that person is W, then so be it.

I assume you mean in raw numbers, not percentages. I suspect it is because of the turnout.

Associated Press reports that Kerry conceded to Gorgie Boosh.

:( I'm moving out of the country, seriously.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...-2004Nov3.html
"President Bush's decisive margin of victory makes this the first presidential election since 1988 in which the winner received a majority of the popular vote. And in this election, President Bush received more votes than any presidential candidate in our country's history," he said.

You may try to minimize the importance of this since your candidate didn't win..but the historical significance is here nonetheless. The Repubs have the Presidency, the House, and the Senate.. Dubya won this with ALL the media except Fox News against him, the Hollywood ultra liberals, and Michael Mooron campaigning... the 527's ... this man ran a tight campaign...and he deserved the win.

^^
Was that really necessary? Your candidate won. What is it about you that keeps attacking a decent person like LadyGreek? I know this shouldn't be my fight, but it is just rather disturbing.

well if ya know that then take heed ;) I think she can handle herself if she feels she's being cyber attacked lol

Love Spell, regardless of what you feel, you will act accordingly HERE!!! Your candidate won this election -- great but you will not sit up here and browbeat folks.

Where you wanna go? I'll be moving out of the country too. I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY REFUSE to sit here in the U.S. and have to worry whether I'll be going to Iraq to fight in a war that will not benefit me or any other minority in the country!!!!!!!

i am SOOOOOOOOO depressed about Bush winning. I want 2 move out of the country also because there is no way in HELL that I will fight in a war that I don't believe in and and a President that that is not worth 2 cents. Everyone needs to hold on tight and see how much more Bush is going to jack up the USA. I just pray that we don't experience anymore attacks, but with Bush is office I feel that we are all our lives are in danger.

No sh**. I leave for D.C. on Friday morning and am scared crapless. I am also taking my baby so all I can do is pray that I make it to and fro' and then I am sitting my a$$ down somewhere.

Someplace where I can blend in, Jamaica sounds nice right now but hurricanes are a bit too much for me. Maybe I can brush up on my Spanish and head on to Brazil. The British Virgin Islands, hmmm....

Well, bush will be out for good in 4 years, so for now that's something to look forward to.
