Summary: NAACP names Gordon new president

http://www.bakersfield.com/24hour/nation/story/2510710p-10874564c.html

NEW LEADER: Bruce S. Gordon, a retired Verizon executive, was chosen Saturday as the NAACP's next president.

NEW DIRECTION: Most past presidents have been political or religious leaders, or prominent figures from the civil rights movement - not the business world.

NEW CHALLENGE: The NAACP hopes to appeal to younger blacks, many of whom question the relevance of the 96-year-old organization that had a broad impact during the civil rights movement but has lost prominence in recent years.

The NAACP was pisseed off last election because they received less money from the DNC. This was due to the DNC working more closely with the 527's.

The RNC should pounce on this and start working on community and faith based projects with the NAACP. Start talking to churches about how the DNC does not care about religion.

Time to strike.
