I hope you good folks are all registered to vote and keeping up with Decision 2004. Tonight, Wednesday, July 28, 2004, the good Reverend Al Sharpton and the Vice-President Nominee John Edwards are going to speak. I've also become an fan of the "Tom Joyner in the Morning Show" and their segments and commentary about this election process. The media in general is saying that they've never seen the Democratic party so united in their efforts to get the 43rd President out of the White House.
I just hope that my people (African Americans) vote and aren't disfranchised like the previous election.

I watched Barack Obama (a man who will most likely be the only black in the US Senate and the first black president of the Harvard Law Review) last night and he delivered an incredible keynote speech. I was not as impressed with Ron Reagan, though, but that may have more to do with my feelings about stem cell research and his father.
Bill Clinton gave a really good speech Monday Night. Hillary knows she needs to run for president, but I guess one go round was enough for her.
I saw our current president's speech at the Urban League's national conference. I was a bit ticked off because he had nothing to offer except that democrats take black votes for granted. I was like, surely you have more than that. When the camera focused on Jesse Jackson, I could have sworn he was thinking the same thing.
I think that people are really understanding the importance of this election. It seems like everyone is determined to register voters in this area of the country, and most of them are trying to get rid of you know who.
