Thank you for the offer of help and we will take any we can get. I have plans to ask Dr. Rice and Rod Paige to attend our forum as well.

I assume you've already talked with Rev. Jesse Peterson? Luis Gonzales is in touch with the S. Fla. Cuban community. They might have some comment on the wonderful, open society under Castro's velvet hand. In fact, Luis could probably put you in touch with Donato Dalrymple, Elian Gonzalez' uncle. We used to have some pretty solid contacts within the Alan Keyes organization as well.

I'd like to see Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, JC Watts, Condoleeza Rice, and a handful of others slap down the Sharpton/Jackson/Farrakhan crowd once and for all. Ain't gonna happen, but it would a great way to announce that the door is open, and blacks are free to leave the plantation.

Anything we can do to help, just knock.

Ditto that! I would love to see hope and optimism offered to black Americans instead of the usual "you can't make it" fare. Very cool, Trueblackman.
