What “issues” are they tackling?

Welfare - got it
AA - got it
Black President - got it

What are the “issues” they need to bitch about? More of #1, #2, and #3, I suppose.

Great. They want to teach the Constitution in high school. Why didn’t our educators ever think of that?

Hoping for a massive application of the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Wonderful, suburban kids with money and parental rebellion and zero clue team up with urban kids that have been taught by welfare to have no hope.........

God help us all.

Unbelievable. Here's an excerpt:

Buoyed by Barack Obama’s election as president, a group of hip-hop artists and other activists is taking to Capitol Hill — trying to harness the wave of support for Obama among young voters into an ongoing political force.

The group, the Hip Hop Caucus, has a nine-member Washington office — but its real reach comes from its ability to harness the power of hip-hop artists to put a famous face on issues and draw in their young, multicultural fans.

In the next few weeks, the caucus will see a bill it fashioned with Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) be introduced — calling for funding for a one-day voter registration drive and lessons on the Constitution in high schools across the country.

Organizers are working with Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) to gather support for legislation fighting climate change — and singers Solange Knowles and Keyshia Cole have both signed on to help, through the Green the Block campaign.

And the group also reached out to Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) to get support for prisoner re-entry legislation that would help former inmates transition back into society...

Obama's not going to be happy to hear that. He's just going to CHANGE it anyway. Will they be taught that the role of the Constitution is to LIMIT the powers of government, not to "give rights" to the people?

Someday, I’d like to move to a planet where the true adults are always in charge. I’m sick of being governed by children.

How about the hip hop caucus working in the community to channel the malcontents so they don't go down a path towards a life a crime.

Less gang banging and hustler playa songs and more about being a MAN.

WTF? This has nothing to do with hip hop or urban communities. This is just co-opting a demographic and indoctrinating them with government led propaganda.

The caucus is supposed to be speaking to government, not the other way around (govt using the caucus to brainwash the people).
