I was listening to Warren Ballintine today interviewing the leader of the black farmers and there seriously thinking of going on a campaign to tell African Americans to sit out this coming election and not vote because this is the seventh time the Senate has refuse to vote for the money they won in court over a Discrimination law suit in 1999. This isn't good

5. While I am definitely on the side of the black farmers in this,... |
|
... I have no intention of sitting out this election.
The thought of Speaker Boehner and/or Majority Leader McConnell scares the hell out of me. We simply can NOT go there!
