The Rev. Jesse Jackson is touring Southern cities this week to rally opposition to next month's mayoral election in New Orleans, saying too many Hurricane Katrina victims scattered around the country will be unable to vote.
He is asking black churches, black colleges and other organizations in cities like Atlanta, Jackson, Miss., and Memphis, Tenn., to encourage their members to march on New Orleans on April 1. The election is set for April 22.
Jackson and other civil rights leaders have demanded that the election be postponed. But they have not said when they believe the balloting should be held.
Jackson said the march will be the most critical demonstration since the civil rights era.

The Reverend Race Card is at it again.
This is how he makes his living, stirring up the fires of racism. I'm sure he lives high on the hog.
He caters to the dark side of the force in people.

If there was a big mayors race in Houston, you can bet Jessie would be calling these same folks citizens of Houston for voting purposes.

to encourage their members to march on New Orleans on April 1. The election is set for April 22. We're gonna March to New Orleans on the first, just to let them know that we can't make it to New Orleans on the 22nd.
What's wrong with this picture, boys and girls?

Yeah, Jessie. Those in NOLA now are working to clean up the place. You better hurry and get all the welfare queens back in town to keep schoolbus Ray in power.

I used to live in suburban Boston, New York, Madison, Pittsburgh, and suburban New Jersey. Can I vote in all those places also, as well as Philadelphia?

First they charge Whitey with not allowing Blacks to vote, then they themselves seek to deny blacks (and others) the right to vote in an election.
Will someone in the MSM point out the hypocrisy, please?
