I hope you and your friends will look up two sites: http://ubrc.org/index.html, the United Black Republican Coalition and the National Black Republican Association, http://nbra.info/ Both of them can offer support for your efforts. Frances Reed, the woman who head the NBRA, is a veteran of the Air Force. Illinois will be hard to win (for obvious reasons) in 2008, but that doesn't mean it's NOT winnable. I hope you pin Rezko and Cook County corruption like a can to Obama's "tail." As I suggest, Obama will do nothing to improve Cicago schools, other than paying off his union supporters. I think it's critical to confront Black voters with results of two generations of Democratic rule. High crime, high unemploymnent, and a moutain of misery ase what the Dems have provided. McCain's character and heroism should appeal to Black voters just as they do to White ones. <BR/><BR/>There are roughly 150,000 Black veterans in Chicago, and most of them will support McCain.<BR/><BR/>Bush got 45% of the Illinois vote in 2004, and McCain will do better (perhaps enough to win) in 2008. If McCain can get 200,000 more Black votes, he will win Illinois. The work you and your friends are doing is critical.<BR/><BR/>Pat, please stay in touch. And give my best to Marquis Ball and Thomas Hayes. They're the future of a large segment of America.Stephen R.

Thomas told me, 'John McCain is the only candidate who can lead our troops and bring my brother home with Honor!'<BR/><BR/>That is only two young black Amricans in their early 20s, who are solidly behind John McCain.pathickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051997614374510451noreply@blogger.com
