Freeper and Lurkers because of you the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is starting to feel the heat from you who have signed the letter demanding the release of all donations made in the name of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The CBCF is in full defense mode and it is refusing comment on the growning scandal that this foundation and its members are withholding donations, while attacking President Bush, federal officials Republicans and Conservatives as being racist in responding to the needs of the victims.
There is still time to apply heat to the CBC as they hope to duck behind the hearing on Judge Alito next week, while still collecting interest on the $400,000 in donations it is holding.
Below is a copy of the letter that is on Tony Siriano's Website and for those who have signed, your help has been paramount and there is time for you Freepers and Lurkers, who haven't, don't allow the CBC an inch of room and hold them accountable for their statements and actions.
I am outraged that the Congressional Black Caucus still hasn't distributed donations made on behalf of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Considering its members' constant accusations, directed at President Bush and Congressional Republicans, of racism and mishandling of the disaster, the CBC's own inaction is a blaring hypocrisy. It's time to turn over those funds, including any interest accrued, immediately, to an organization that is actually doing something to help.
Notwithstanding, these very allegations made have been proven wrong by independent non-biased reporting agencies, such as the New Orleans City Morgue and real-estate agencies. As an influential group of leaders of America, the CBC should be ashamed of itself for turning an overwhelming disaster into an issue of race. With no evidence whatsoever, many of its members, including Elijah Cummings, Jesse Jackson, Carolyn Kilpatrick, Barbara Lee, Sheila Jackson Lee, Charles Rangel and Mel Watt, accused the President of heinous racial injustices, as well as the people of America by default. I am tired of your using race to further your own selfish agenda. This is nothing but divisiveness for the sake of power and money, and it needs to stop. You owe an apology to the President and to the American people.
By their own definition (which I don't subscribe to, BTW) their very name is racist. Hypocrites.
Keep the heat on them Freepers and Lurkers.
"Sent it"
Oh yes they are, then they run around and poitn and scream racist to anyone who is opposed to them.
Bttt...
Whatever happened to J.C. Watts? He was a bright shining star amidst what seems to mostly be a collection of buffoons.
Pinging in the hopes you'll sign the letter!
Got er done!
The foundation has no comment,when you make phonecalls and ask about donations, don't give them any room at all, keep the heat on them.
Took awhile for it to go.
Hope that is because of a busy traffic session. - Tom
Remember these are the same guys that claim Republicans steal election, chase off Blacks from polls and play the race card everytime the Democrats lose an elections and now they are tryinf to use and undermovement to impeach the President, now is the time to expose thse hypocrite.
*smack*
The Congressional Black Caucus was created in the 1970's after liberals hijacked the Democratic Party and they have always used the caucus as props to give the illusion they care about Black Americans.
I'm a bit in the dark on this. How is it the Congressional Black Caucus has these donations in their possessions? I was under the impression this was a group of black congressmen. How would donations end up there?
They set up a front foundation years ago for Democrat and Liberals leaning groups to give money to them, so they can go out and mislead the Black Community.
You can go thru Tony's website and just use and email address, the letter will go to their email accounts.
Oh they use the chruches in their communities as fronts to get out the vote and unless we keep apply heat they will simply allow for this to be swept under the rug.
AFAIK, J.C. was never allowed to join the CBC. Right color, wrong party.
Done - thanks for the heads-up.
Well Republicans have never gone in those communities and fought for the votes. In the past the RNC puts together a package of radio ads and threw them at the community 2 weeks before the election and those few Blacks, who do run as Republicans from these areas get no support and are run over by members of the CBC as they carry between 80%-90% of the vote.
No was ask to join, but Watts said he will never join a caucus that divides Americans, somehow it was reported he was never allowed to join to cover for the CBC's racist and race baiting policies.
Thanks for the help, we are going to kepp the heat on them.
If not for your post, many of us would never even know this was going on. Thanks.
The CBC completely fears a clean debate on race issues and as long as they can smear those who don't agree with them as racist, then things will stay the way they are, this is the reason why Watts would not join them.
you are more than welcome and we are working to expose and take them down for their Anti-American Policies of division.
Interesting. I could very well be wrong but I thought I had heard him say in an interview that he wasn't invited to join.
I will admit there is some confusion in the story and Watts told me he did not want to join a group that is engaged in division.
I would rather fight,than roll over and let these guys have their way.
Well, since he told you personally, that means I'm obviously mistaken in my recollection. I stand corrected.
We are on the same page my FRiend!
I know you would and you do it well. I appaud you and urge you to keep it up.
To be honest, I had no idea this was happening until now. Thanks for the info and I will sign. Take care buddy.

I disagree with that post. Our local GOP has been trying to court Black votes for at least 10 years. Blacks tend to vote based on skin color, not ideas. Whites can never win them over.
And if this sounds like I am saying that Blacks are racist, maybe I am. Any racial group that votes 90% as a bloc sounds racist to me.
Anyway, Blacks who choose to support the GOP, or to run in local elections, get more attention than a white of similar qualifications would get.
And, no, I don't have a problem with that.
I refuse to give any ground to them.
I will do my best like my fellow Freepers to hold the lines and spread the word.
I am saying the national party needs to help the local GOP in these areas to start turning some heads, bring in the big guns and resources.
They don't give a crap about what anyone says. I used to live in NC-just outside of Charlotte. There is a member of the CBC from the 12th(I believe that is the number) district of NC. His "district is essentially a five mile strip along I-85 through NC from Gastonia to Raleigh. The way his district is drawn almost makes cynthia mckinney's look "reasonable". What anyone says or does matters not to old Mel. He was on a local call in show about 10 years ago WBT-and he starting spouting about how the rich should pay more so I said-"are you saying that the way it should work is from each according to his means, to each according to his needs"-Watts reply was "absolutely", needless to say my call was "aborted" before I was able to make the point about Marxism.
Ken Mehlman is doing that. He's supported some low level office seekers in places like PA, and he's promised help to people like Michael Steele in MD, Lynn Swann in PA and (oh, lapse -- the GOP gubernatorial candidate in OH).
Frankly, I'm not sure if those efforts will help. My Black liberal friends say they can accept white Conservatives, but they will never accept Blacks who "stray".
I could really care less what these Black Liberals think of me and those like me, since they sold out a long time ago, they could hardly even think for themselves and act like mind numb robots at election time. Yeah Ken is really trying unlike those in the past.
