I just responded to the, 'Republican Strategy Survey' This particular questionnaire was authorized by the National Republican Senatorial committee. I do appreciate the work that our Republican Senators are doing for the American public but, I have had my fill of hyperbole and failure! We need to do more.
The following is an open letter, an invitation if you will, to those people who have always known that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican. (Incidentally, let us not capitalize of Dr King's political affiliation. The truth is good enough.)
To those of you who recognize the need for our BLACK communities to know who Condoleezza Rice is or of her determined resolve to make a difference. More importantly, it's worth noting, Dr Rice's hard work was due in part to her determination to walk through an opened door and her attitude to advance beyond the dictates of victimization. Help me to spread this message about one individual who rose above the fray.
[Incidentally, I am saddened at her insistence on a Two State peace plan in Israel. Actually, I am mad as hell. Dr. Rice please stop supporting the, 'Hudabiyya!' Back in 1989, Yassir Arafat reaffirmed the goal of the two phase strategy whereby whatever land Israel gave away would form a Palestinian state from which to launch the next phase: the destruction of Israel.' Quoting, Victor Sharpe, author of POLITICIDE - The attempted murder of the Jewish State.]
To those who understand that Oprah Winfrey became one of the most successful Black Americans in history because of her hard work and because the door was opened. For all the good she does, sadly, she has become a sort of guru for those who will believe in just about anything wonderful and gushy! Nevertheless, Oprah Winfrey walked through an open door.
To those of you who understand why black folk no longer swing from the noose of a Ku Klux Klan rope simply because someone was checking off their 'things to do list,' I have an idea that is gaining momentum.
Recently, Reverend Wayne Perryman wrote an editorial, 'Al Gore & Michael Moore, great examples for conservatives.'
The following excerpt explains the heart of his commentary:
"While conservative limit their efforts to printing several million campaign brochures and posters during election season, the Moore's and Gores of the liberal institution are investing millions to produce films, documentaries, movies and a host of television programs (365 days per year) that reflect their values.
The balance of the article addresses the lack of invested monies to counteract the, 'liberal machine' An example of how subliminal but, at the same time, successful liberal strategies are; I was watching 'Up to The Minute' CBS they did a story having to do with the death of Mr. Charleston Heston. The news anchor, sharing a bit about his life addressed his (Mr. Heston) support of Dr. King and then she said, 'Back when Mr. Heston was liberal' I about fell out of my chair! I have had enough, truly, completely enough!
Those of you, who know me from my blog articles or from my work supporting Israel, know that I am willing to invest both, time, endure ridicule and spend money in order to make a difference. I am willing to take my effort to a new level but, I need wealthy conservatives, committed individuals and visionaries to join me outside of the box.
As one example, I would like to offer the black communities of our country a different perspective on Black History'the truth for example. I would like to get back their vote and stop the 'Bamboozling' of the American Black Community (Thank you Angela McGlowan!)
Dr Thomas Sowell, I need your help to get the word out in a coalition, grass roots campaign. For example Booker T. Washington was the first black person ever invited to the White House by none other than Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican! Most blacks learned how to read because the Bible was the only book allowed. (God set into motion his truth in spite of the evil perpetrated on the African child. Sir, write about this, use your eloquence and gifting to recall historical facts; help me.
Walter E.Williams you are amazing so join me and amaze many! Donald E. Scoggins, I am on board with 'Republicans for Black Empowerment' Reverend Perryman, your book, 'Unfounded Loyalty' could be produced as a documentary. (Reverend Perryman would like to pursue producing a documentary. He needs 40 million invested dollars, a bit grandiose but, so are a lot of ideas) Remember, the entire effort is based on our mutual desire to promote an organized response. We must counter the liberal format.
A note to Mr. Bill Cosby: Pardon me Sir, but if you would base your rhetoric on the historical truth of black America perhaps your own explanation for the insidious decline in our black community would turn into an inspiring tone based on the struggles and ultimate achievement of people like George Washington Carver or Mary McLeod Bethune.
If you would offer the black woman or the black teen the truth about why the Republican Party started or why Frederick Douglas Jr. was a conservative, if you would revisit the Lincoln/Steven Douglass debates and share these facts with the gang member of the struggling mother who wants to be free of welfare maybe then people of color would stand up for more than the status quo of their circumstance. Excuse me Sir, but your ignorance is hurting your message. You are an American Icon, someone who I have loved all of my life. Consider empowerment verses humiliation, give this some thought!
Moreover, I am tired of Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright negating the ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE because of their liberation hate mantra. I am an American who has benefited because a developing nation recognized the evil of slavery. We the people, refuse to satisfy the pain and memory. We instead wish to heal and continue our progression towards all that is better! The nation was divided then as it is now'this must end or at the very least, find common ground.
Michael Jordan took his unique ability and benefited hundreds of thousands of kids and made millions, not only for him self but for several industries. So did Reggie Jackson, Hank Aaron and so many others The Tuskegee Airmen made a difference. I dare to say that Snoop Dog may not know a thing about these Airmen'and he should.
I don't see the Jesse Jackson's of the world or Al Sharpton inspiring anyone. They sure know how to complain though. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat horde have done 'zippo, nada' serving the people of our country.
I have monumental problems with our President but, support him and let's face it, Presidential nominee John McCain continues to be a, 'coin toss!' None of this is OK with me!
If we don't collectively start educating our current crop of citizenry we might as well all be answering the phones in India (No offense to the people of India intended)
So, to Rush Limbaugh, Larry Elders, Sean Hannity, Michael Steele, Laura Ingram, Rusty Humphries, Michael Savage and all of those who have a microphone (Shame on all of you for the way you treat Michael Savage) I beg you to cultivate unity!
Incidentally, Rusty Humphrey went to Darfur'..He understands why this discussion concerning Barrack Obama and his beloved Pastor, is ludicrous when compared to the suffering occurring in Sudan. Help Rusty get the word out about the horrible devaluing of human life currently underway in Sudan.
Alan Keyes, Grant Swank, Lee Culpepper,and Paul Miller, (Paulies Point one of my favorite blogs!) desire to do more than conservative talk Radio has done so well. My aim is to help Michael Savage and to help Wayne Perryman. We need a thriving campaign to raise conservatisms voice and strength''
Steven Forbes where are you? Contact me! Let's get some folks into the Hood to promote conservatism, let's teach the truth! Lee Iacocca, the leaders have not gone they just have no focus! Help me find those who have deep pockets and get them re-focused.
Please, the liberal thinking is dominating the media. Our college campuses might as well be handing out dictatorships as opposed to diplomas. The public school system is a disaster.
The Homosexual agenda has been kicking our butts for thirty years'1% of our total populations have changed our society, its ridiculous! The Gay and Lesbian agenda started their campaign in our high schools. Just walk through your local public school and you will see a concentration of Gay people similar to that of P-Town, Massachusetts teaching our kids. Well, what are they teaching'..? Indoctrination is more apropos.
They now influence our second graders and we have done absolutely nothing! We continue to allow our tax dollars to support this agenda. Give me a break, our schools are failing! (I am not politically correct so I don't give a hoot whether I offend a gay person with my opinion.)
We allowed God to be kicked out of our schools, prior to that we had gum chewing as the biggest problem our kids faced'.Our kids are being killed, teen pregnancy, teachers getting murdered, drugs, gangs, teachers raping our kids, homosexuality dictating policy. I propose the following:
Conservatism Speaks to America.' (The website is in development) Similar to the, 'Republican Contract with America,' I am developing a network via the coming website, 'conservatismspeakstoamerica.com' to bring ideas together that promote conservatism.
I cannot find any wisdom in liberalism. Liberalism continues to make no sense to me personally! Nevertheless, we fight the liberal machine daily and on several fronts.
I want Israel to be supported and I want our country to turn around, to ask God to forgive us and to stop accepting this insanity! The divide between Blacks and Jews is ridiculous.
The issue is deeper than black or white, Democrat or Republican, Jew or Gentile it is about standing for truth, One Nation under God with Liberty and Justice for all.
An American is English or French or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian or Arab or Pakistani or Afghan.
An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as Native Americans.
An American is Christian or he could be Jewish or Buddhist or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses. An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God!
An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.
An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.
When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan Americans welcome the best of everything...the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least.
The national symbol of America, the Statue of Liberty, welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America.
Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.
So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself, because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.' (Credited to an Australian Dentist
Finally, liberalism has the potential to dumb down an entire nation if left unchecked. The ideology continues to prove this. The selfish reality of liberal policies is allowing anything that is emotionally driven to be tolerated and accepted. Political correctness is killing our ability to say, 'Hell no, not today!'
Multiculturalism is a new form of separating the American by race. We used to call that segregation.
Are we so caught up in self that we cannot come together and fight the battle that must be fought in our country? Our morality has become so yesterday because, a click of the mouse will get you or your teenager any sort of sexual depravity you can think to have on your 'vidiot' screen.
Please, America is in trouble. Let's put our principles on the big screen, let us develop a network that caters to fact and not supposition. We can use the internet to collaborate, educate and to cultivate in order to take what talk radio is doing to a new level.
Under 'Conservatism Speaks to America' I propose the following:
Counter Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farakhans and anyone else's hate rhetoric.
Promote Laura Ingram's book, 'Power to the People' and similar work as required in high school curriculum.
Develop computer software that promotes conservative video games or educational material that address historical facts, especially in the minority communities with regard to why the Republican Party was born.
Educate our kids about the voting records of both political parties with regard to civil rights over the last 150 years.
Produce a two hour documentary that recalls the early days of the Conservative movement especially with regard to race.
Promote Marriage by producing a video series about the facts and consequences of 'casual hook ups' and promiscuity. Let us stop talking about divorce.
Put a program on television that is called, 'The Other View'
Take back our schools. Support the young conservatives on college campus'.
Develop conservative clubs in high schools; support them!
We must develop a concerted effort, across our country and across racial lines that carry our message. I am not okay with the attack on Conservatism, Anti Semitism, and the so called Black liberation speak and don't get me started on the supposed Islamic conversion of America, hype!
We cannot count on our elected officials alone. Sadly, the church has not got its act together. We unfortunately have enclaves and territorial division in the Christian community. Nevertheless, I encourage the Church to participate. There are millions of Muslims trying to shut the church up! Bravo to the Catholic, seeing the out pouring of your faith with the Pope's visit is inspiring.
Please send this letter to everyone, let's make some noise.
I need the one person who can begin to represent the heart of this letter to contact me. Help to put me on the phone with those people who see my vision and who can help immediately to begin forming a forum of dialog.

I fully expect 'Conservatism Speaks to America' to metastasize into a movement that makes a difference. Indoctrination-U (http://indoctrinate-u.com) is a brilliant example of what can be done. 'Right On' to Mr. Ben Stein, much success with 'Expelled'
