Seriously............


Subject: FW: For Those Who Think That Racism Doesn't Exist In America
Importance: High



Hi All.

At the recent NAACP Meeting, President Bush
finally meet with the leaders and assured them that he would sign the
right to vote bill for another 25 years.

My only concern is: Do the other race have to
be subjected to a right to vote extension? Personally, the President, if
he really wanted to show Good faith, should have abolished this bill and
made it simply a right with no limitations. But then maybe I am living
in a dream world. However, I know IT CAN BE DONE!! Voting Rights
Act-Expires for blacks in 2007.

Below you will find a speech that Bill Cosby's
wife gave at a function. Everyone please read this and pass it on to as
many African Americans you come in contact with.


Camille Cosby just made a reference about the
Voting Rights Act in her most recent open letter on racism. This is
extremely important. We are in the 21st Century and we were wondering,
and when I say 'we', I mean others of us out there who wonder if
everyone else out there knows what the significance of the year 2007 is
to Black America?

Did you know that our right to VOTE will
expire in the year 2007?

Seriously! The Voters Rights Act signed in
1965 by Lyndon B. Johnson was just an ACT. It was not made a law.

In 1982, Ronald Reagan amended the Voters
Rights Act for another 25 years. Which means that in the year 2007 we
could lose the Right to vote!

Does anyone realize that African Americans are
the only group of people who require PERMISSION under the United States
Constitution to vote!


In the year 2007, Congress will once again
convene to decide whether or not Blacks should retain the rights to vote
(crazy but true).


In order for this to be passed, 38 states will
have to approve an extension. This is ludicrous! Not only should the
extension be approved, but also the ACT must be made a law.


Our right to vote should no longer be up for
discussion, review and/or evaluation.

We must contact our Congress-persons,
Senators, Alder persons, etc., to put a stop to this! As bona fide
Citizens of the United States, we cannot 'drop the ball' on this one! We
have come too far to let government make us take such a huge step
backward. So please, let us push forward to continue to build the
momentum towards gaining equality.

Please pass this onto others, as we are sure
that many more individuals are not aware of this. I urge all of you that
are able, to contact those in government that have your vote and make
them aware of our combined concern for this issue.

One voice!...... One Vote! You cannot
complain, if you do not
participate.....local, State, & national.....

When I received this one I had no choice but
to pass it on. Please do the same!
