California and America needs to re-commit to the ideals upon which our nation was founded. This initiative will help!

If you are a California resident please vote for ONE America, and not a balkanized, sovietized mess that will be the death of our children, if not us.

Good for Ward, and the DF. I, too, believe that so long as we keep making those distinctions amongst Americans, those detested hyphenated somethin' or other, we will never unite as Americans.

Though its been a long time since I've repeated this on FR, I stopped believing in "race" a long time ago. Originally we all descended from Adam and Eve, more recently from the three sons of Noah (except for the Albanians, who claim they were a later generation of Noah). I do accept the definition of "tribes" and/or "nations" in defining people... but, all that aside, race has been used as a very effective tool by the bolsheviks in dividing the American nation. I believe Dr. Keyes and Mr. Connerly think along these same lines - that one can be a member of the American nation and put aside his/her "race" in support of this nation. Jesse Jackson, the ADL, ACLU, SPLC, Sharpton, the Clintons, et al, have all used the issue of race as a means of blinding us. I read not too long ago that the 2000 census actually had more "races" than South Africa had under the apartheid system. I could care less which tribe a person is of as long as this person believes America to be his/her nation and is willing to support our Constitution.
