A MESSAGE FROM WARD CONNERLY!
Alert your California friends and family to come to website American Civil Rights Coalition,
or call 916-444-2278 to get a petition and pledge your support to getting the Racial Privacy Initiative on California's November ballot.
WHAT IS THE RACIAL PRIVACY INITIATIVE?
This historic effort will end government-sponsored racial classifications and bring us all together as Americans.
But we face an April 10th deadline to get the RPI on November's ballot.
So time is of the essence. I really need your help now. RPI is attracting support from all across the political spectrum, including the unanimous endorsement of the American Conservative Union, the California Congress of Republicans, the Republican Women's Federated, the California Libertarian Party, The Interracial Voice and The Multiracial Activist, and many moderate Democrats.
HEDGECOCK LIKES IT
As talk show host Roger Hedgecock said recently when he was hosting the Rush Limbaugh show: "This initiative is about going on offense to end officially-sanctioned racial divisions that prevent us from being seen as equals in the eyes of our government."
He is right! RPI is about tipping over the trough of useless racial data that feeds the power of organizations such as the ACLU, the NAACP and MALDEF as well as shakedown artists such as Jesse Jackson and race-mongers such as Al Sharpton.
Our final turn-in date of April 10, 2002 looms closer and closer, and we need as many petitions in by March 31 as possible to allow us enough time to process, sort and validate the signatures.
VOLUNTEER
Not only do we need pledges; we need volunteers who will go the extra mile and get 100 signatures each and ask some of their friends and family members to do the same. 100 signatures will earn recognition in our Century Club. Century Club members will receive a custom T shirt and signed photograph of Ward Connerly, Shelby Steele, and Tom Sowell, the icons of this movement to end racial preference schemes. As conservatives, we cannot achieve needed changes in public policy by relying on the liberal California Legislature to do what is right, or the media to help us get our message out. No, we have to take matters into our own hands now and then and demonstrate our strength through self-government techniques such as the initiative process. Getting 100 signatures only takes a few hours of your time, but the reward of doing so can affect the course of history.
Making changes such as RPI can be a lonely endeavor, but we can do it if we work together, as we learned with Proposition 209. Personally, I will spend whatever time it takes and endure whatever attacks are made against me by those who want Americans to remain divided by race to ensure our success.
But, I cannot do this by myself. I need you to put forth a little extra effort to gather signatures from California family members, friends and neighbors and to send these signatures in by March 31 if we are going to make our April 10 goal of 1,100,000 total signatures.
Together, let's send the race-mongers a strong message that we are tired of them using our government to peddle their nonsense.
Sincerely,
Ward Connerly
BTW, I'm itching for my next LA FReep -- when's it going to be? And for what purpose?
Now, isn't that delightful?
I am sending the article on to all I know in CA. Floridians should watch this closely as their Democratic leaders are hell-bent on keeping the faithful uneducated and on their racial train to nowhere.
